There are many evil Superman and many evil Captain America but The Boys is about Evil Superman fighting Evil Captain America
because people are moronic
>Cinemaphiletards trying to make sweeping moral statements about the population because people enjoy watching some edgy capeshit in addition to their normal capeshit
They like the Goys because it pretends to be different from regular capeshit, but the “superheroes” are just super villains, the Boys are regular superheroes at this point, and Homelander is just Ultraman. It’s got nothing to do with “moral decay” or whatever you morons are projecting.
because superman by himself is quite boring to most people besides children.
If he's boring then why it's nearly impossible to find a superhero universe without a Superman rip off?
go read OP again and then realize how much of a fricking idiot you are
Hyperion, Sungod and Carol Danvers are not evil
two of those aren't things and people hated captain marvel
True, but that has more to do with CM being easily in the top 3 worst written MCU movies than anything else.
I wonder what is going the narrative when Feige release the MCU Hyperion movie about a 100% unironic classic Superman and people love it.
Feige fricking had Thor.
He should have litterally been a lotr themed superman.
They .are him a fat blubbering b***h in endgame to push alonzos debacle aka captain marvel.
Phase 3 and 4 were about pushing the narrative. There will be no unironically noble strong men.
what he could be is more interesting than what he is.
ragtag group of normal people going up against an unstoppable god will always ALWAYS be way more interesting than regular superman doing boring shit
Good Superman would be compelling too, but WB seems incapable or unwilling for the last 40 years.
Western man has been conditioned to shame his ego and history. Superman is a shameless celebration of Western man and history. You see the problem.
Maybe people just like this show, not necessarily the concept. It's Hollywood execs who seem infatuated with the idea.
Brightburn was not a huge hit, it only made 32 million and no one talks about it.
It's not.
It's just being evil and powerful are ingrained into the human subconscious.
To be quite honest. Evil superman is the moat trite overused and ghetto use of that ancient well like idea.
Now a good superman?
Nah homie, that shit is too complex.
>ancient well like idea.
No such thing. Ancient heroes worked for self-promotion, revenge, and gain.
....
Evil powerful humanoids or people who attained power and became evil are as old as time.
And heroes, true heroes, have existed long before the convenient cartoons you are taught to worship.
Superman sold well.
And that show made by Mark Miller did extremely well.
The TV shows are all well liked as well.
They just have objectively evil cynical people running wb and they can't sell it because they both dislike it and don't understand it
>that shit is too complex.
yeah it's pretty difficult to get people interested in a two hour movie of paint drying
Superman I and Superman II were hugely popular moron
>hurr durr dese movies from 80 years ago when people didn't have any other options were super popular
isn't it past your bedtime, grandpa?
>People didn’t have other options back during the 70s
Nice bait moron, but you’re the same homosexual who teared up when Butcher said “my wife’s son” because finally you got a capeshit character who was a cuck like you
You say that like The Soys isn’t exactly that. An entire season went by and literally nothing has changed. Soys is a show for morons who think Orange Man Bad is hard hitting satire
>morons who think Orange Man Bad is hard hitting satire
the shows mocks shallow corporate hashtag liberalism way more than it mocks trump
Most people are dumb sociopaths and thus can't imagine the idea of someone with power also not turning out to be a dumb sociopath.
Like any popular horror monster evil Superman feeds into the prevailing anxieties of the times.
Frankenstein held power over people at the time when medical science was first really progressing into "god's territory"
Vampires were popular during periods where people feared the seductive power of greed and the vicious aristocracy
Zombies were popular when the evil on everyone's mind was blind consumerism, this seemingly unstoppable drive of the masses to consume
Evil Superman represents the fear that the authorities and Institutions we grew up relying on and believing in have either turned against us or always were. He reflects the visceral feeling of betrayal so many feel, as well as tapping into the feeling that the problems the world faces and the people causing them are so far above the power of an individual to solve as to be invincible.
because he's literally me. but with powers I wish i had.
More relatable to gen x and millenials.
It all depends on how you write them and the story around them
Homelander
>Narcissistic man with baby tantrums and a short fuse because he believe that he's untouchable because of how he was raised
>Gets murdered by a weaker version of him when he probably could have just eye lasered the clone from a safe distance
Nolan
>Just a soldier trying to scout out a good planet for him to and his people to repopulate in.
>Stayed on earth too long and it made him soft and after a few shits here and there became a better person
Brightburn
>Apparently it was the pod that the kid came in that was making him evil and there essentially no hope of ever changing him
People on Cinemaphile overblow the pervasiveness of the Evil Superman cliche. Other than Injustice and The Boys there aren't many mainstream takes on it.
>inb4 invincible
If anything, Mark is pretty much Superman to Nolan's Zod
Omni Man is Superman
Freddie Mercury is Zod
