I stopped reading when one of the reasons include "Clark becomes a newscaster". What the heck does that have to do with anything?

Yes, it was. The idea was to create an emotional epic showing Superman's loneliness, but it just didn't work.

Sounds like another typical hater who doesn't realise the Silver Age is no longer in continuity.

garbage blog/article whatever you wanna call it

#12 Posted by darkman61288 (353 posts) - 3 months, 14 days ago - Show Bio

I thought that the articule was good. The writer made some good points like his point of Superman dating Wonder woman.

#13 Posted by Black_Claw (877 posts) - 3 months, 14 days ago - Show Bio

I stopped reading upon seeing "Superman starts flying" as one of the reasons.

#14 Posted by Teerack (2888 posts) - 3 months, 14 days ago - Show Bio

Its an impressive article. I mean there are so many real reasons to not like Superman, but he failed to name any of them other then the death and rebirth.

Honestly I did kinda hate The Death of Superman because it killed death....not Superman.

i09 seems to have a vendetta against Supes and the new Man of Steel movie. Based on some of their articles, it looks like they have already made up their mind that it will suck. So yeah, why listen to what they have to say?

#16 Posted by lilben42 (1076 posts) - 3 months, 14 days ago - Show Bio

@Teerack: See people see Superman was healing in that story I see Suoerman asrevived because I don't think Superman had a pulse in the story or else Lois wouldn't have thought he was dead or the doctors.

#17 Posted by Teerack (2888 posts) - 3 months, 14 days ago - Show Bio

@lilben42: It doesn't really change anything. The story killed death.

#18 Posted by lilben42 (1076 posts) - 3 months, 14 days ago - Show Bio

@Teerack: I didn't really care. All star superman probably would have been a better the death of superman tbh

#19 Posted by Skulexander (75 posts) - 3 months, 14 days ago - Show Bio

Yeah. I've seen some of their articles and comments and stuff, and they seriously have already decided Man of Steel is going to suck. Like, what? It's so annoying.

#20 Posted by Skewer (325 posts) - 3 months, 10 days ago - Show Bio

I agree with most of the article except the death of superman and the bit about flying. If you did a bit of background research on this and the backgrounds behind them they will understand.

#21 Posted by Manbehindthewires (344 posts) - 3 months, 10 days ago - Show Bio

did this guy just read supermans wiki and base all his knowedge off that? No understanding of the character whatsoever.

Yep. I love Superman. But I agree with most of this article.

*sighs* The blogger is another guy who thinks Superman is still in the Silver Age.

Ditto. Ridiculous reason. Hell, if anything I like that he's so super-powered. The notion that a hero has to be of "street level" power to be relateable is horse crap. It's the character of the person when he/she's "off duty" that matters in that regard. (I'd even argue, at least for me, more power = better in regards to escapism. Imagining I could fly, be ni-invincible, lift near anything, zoom anywhere in an instant (etc) would be more of a break from my reality than imagining I was fighting crime w/gadgets & no-powers (don't me wrong, I love Batman too though))

Although what I skimmed of the list, I wouldn't totally disagree with Smallville. Not that it's bad, but it's not Superman. People who aren't big comic/hero fans think it's weird that I don't like it despite being a huge Superman fan (though I would say, why aren't you a Superman fan because you watched Smallville?), but it's because it was what that blogger said -- a teen-drama. It had Super-inspirations, but there's no reason to believe that someone who loves any Superman comic title would like Smallville.

My List:

#30 Posted by darkman61288 (353 posts) - 3 months, 3 days ago - Show Bio

The ending of the marriage of Lois Lane and Superman. Should of kept it.

I love how he says "I CAN'T BELIEVE SUPERMAN AND LOIS STARTED DATING" and then came back and said "SUPERMAN IS DATING WONDER WOMAN WTF HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE WITH LOIS!!!!!!" What an asshole.

Having a mullet is an awesome feat.

@corpsecraft: So who Should be he Dating?

#34 Posted by consolemaster001 (1765 posts) - 3 months, 2 days ago - Show Bio

I only agree on 5 and 12 other than that i think it's a stupid article.
