Kik me xxingr 4 mxx <| sep |> anyone else here from vancity ? this shits really a problem . My guess is that the cause of this crazy storm going on right now is the the drug gods anger with us . <| sep |> Holy Shit . I spent that whole film with an uneasy feeling because he looked familiar . It was Paulie all along . <| sep |> Don ' t think thats how it works , it isn ' t gonna assume that someone who dropped out of masters for the final week is now a worse player is it ? <| sep |> Um , I think that ' s harderthanhard mode . <| sep |> Totally agree with everything you said , but to be fair , I think that it ' s much harder to write a good Superman story than say a good Batman one , and therefore there are less fantastic stories to recommend . I mean , we can all probably list like 15 Required Readings for the Bat , but there ' s , what , 5 ? definitive Supey stories I ' m thinking AllStar , Birthright , Kingdom Come , Red Son , Secret Origin , For Tomorrow . It ' s the same problem with Wonder Woman . You can ' t just write them as an obsessive and dark human with godlike plot armor no disrespect to the Bat , so it ' s only some of the best writers who can write a solid and welldone Superman story . I mean , look at the New 52 . Snyder ' s Batman was consistently considered one of the best series , while Superman jumped between Perez and Lobdell and a whole slew of other shortlived writers . The fact is , you can write a good Batman story by having him mentally overcome his adversaries , with deep thematic value . It ' s a tried tested formula that ' s been applied to so many different Bat classics . But with Supey , you have to go deeper . You can ' t just have him beating his enemies , that ' s easy . You have to show the expectations he places on himself , the importance of his Sshield to the world , things like that . And it ' s why there are so few truly GREAT Superman stories , which makes it harder to get people into him , since they ' re used to him just being written boringly and poorly .
