Life finds a way
Spider-Man's my favorite superhero because he gets absolutely dumped on by life, just as much as a lot of the heroes that he interacts with, and yet he's always able to brush himself off and keep moving with that same light-hearted attitude, and it's something that I really respect about him. Also that powerset is awesome.
I don't really get that from Superman. It seems like every hardship that he takes rocks him considerably. I guess that's because of the weight of his station as one of the strongest heroes (if not the strongest) but it just seems like a steady decline in his personality every time. He never really seems to recover, just constantly decay.

Walking in the grocery store. Near the Redbox there's these 2 white guys talking and all I hear is one guy yelling "the niggas are coming the niggas are coming! There's a bunch..." And I was inside

You seeing this too!?
tbf,
they've always been a mistake in my eyes.
E: Obviously I just hate anything LeBron James associated, though. And my unconditional love from the Spurs that dates back to my finding a Tim Duncan player card when I was like 6.

This is kind of a misreading of Spidey. He absolutely doesn't recover from his mistakes, and he constantly beats himself up. The quips are an act and part of his persona as Spidey, but he is absolutely covering up a deep-seated need to save everyone and stop every crime he possibly can. Anytime he doesn't, it's like Uncle Ben is killed all over again. Peter hates himself. He takes it all on his shoulders. He doesn't give up because he's trying every day to make up his failure to his uncle.
I don't want to ruin your enjoyment of Spidey, though. It's just a lot more complicated with Peter than that.
Peter Parker shits on himself as much as life does, he makes jokes to get through the day as Spider-Man because if he didn't life would be even worse. He doesn't really keep moving, shits with him constantly and forever.

How you gonna be strong af but get killed?
Even so, I appreciate that he doesn't go all Batman with it. Or, you know, enslave humanity because of his fuck ups. At least not currently. It's hard to even keep going after taking shit like that.
He's solar powered. Doomsday wore him down.

I really enjoy Spider-man for both these reasons.
Love his powers and how they lend themselves to his personality when he's wearing the suit. He can't catch a break either. The pressure he puts on himself and how he may hide behind it, very relatable.
I mean I don't want to say I hate him, I just hope nothing good happens for him again. I feel the same for the warriors.
So... go spurs?
(Knicks aint shit! watch them win more games now that they should tank the rest of the season)
Very true, I have gotten rejected from almost every college I applied to. Yet my personality does not allow me to show it. I beat myself up constantly, I want to do everything I can to better the lives of those around me, but I constantly act like shit don't bother me.
I've always related to Peter.
Not to get too nerdy but Superman is a battery. Everyone of his powers come from the energy he has stored in his cells. The more he goes all out the less energy there is to keep him invulnerable.
There was a crossover called Final Night where the sun got eaten. By the end of it he was huffing and puffing to keep up with Batman

While I want Spidey to quip and think that's an essential part of his character, I feel like a lot of people want it for the wrong reasons and don't get who Peter is. Same as people who think Hulk is just Hulk smash. I hope they get that aspect right in the new movies. I think they will, though.

Reposting in here.
Im sick of seeing apologists for Trump supporters saying "theyre not racists!" by bringing up the 10% or so that voted for Obama in 2008 or 2012. James Jackson was one of those Obama voters.

They do kinda fine with Hulk being more than Hulk smash but there isn't a lot said about his relationship with Banner. We only get one line about it and it's kind of a throwaway during his fight with Tony.
When I said that Peter brushes himself off and keeps going, I didn't mean that he just forgets it and moves on. I mean that he literally keeps moving with all of that on him with the jokes and whatnot even though he's as fucked up as the rest of them.
And to think, Superman would later go on to burn a hole through this kid's skull because he dared to question his totalitarian dictatorship. And Wonder Woman would go on to murder several children because she and Aquaman had a bad breakup after she beheaded his wife.

The very next page is great.
lOL dude in the Justice League trailer thread said as dark as BvS and JL look it is a wonder superman has any powers at all
Being strong doesn't mean you won't be killed. Just means that it's hard to do so.
I know, Cracked and all that, but this made laugh, hard

Those are the people you just can't work with.
Hah, not quite.
The worst part is that the whole communication thing is supposed to be his job ¯\_(ツ
_/¯Folks love to buck up in Outlook, but won't say it to your face
I mean it's easy to shit or films a char Ater if your using an alternate version of them. Like everything you like about Spider-man goes away if you sue regin as look at the character.
That said alot of that is on WB/DC for putting their spotlight character in a bad light.
We'll leave cancer due to radioactive spider cum out of this, thank you.
Love those little guys.Welp the move fucked up the one thing i liked about GITS
Word. Twitter fingers are a real thing, ask Meek Mill about it.
People can't just let everyone do their jobs in peace, get paid, and go home happy ¯\_(ツ
_/¯This is why I loved Rogue One. Krennic was that asshole at work that everyone knows.
Remember that time Billy Batson went evil in a post-apoc Earth because he got thirsty over Wonder Woman?
I don't know I think there's value in Superman being this relatively simple character whose defining trait is he's a good man, no self-flagellation, no death wish, just a good person. The interesting thing about Supes is how he ends up relating to the world at large. Synder's Superman feels more like a version of Superboy-Prime than anything else.
Regin is like the prime example of someone reading DKR and not understanding the reason why that particular book works.
Despite the avatar I have Superman is my favorite character. Superman can beat himself up alot, but only through the lens of bad writers does he go off the deep end. One of my favorite aspects of the character is how mundane Clark Kent is. He's the everyman and despite having all the power in the world he doesn't let tragedies define him. Spider-man and Batman are marred so much by their personal tragedies that the only reason they are heroes are out of a broken Obligation to ghosts. Superman is what Clark Kent thinks he should do to make a world a better place to be more progressive than reactive. Clark Kent even knows that their are problems that superman can't fix which is why him being a journalist is an inspired move, He historically has always fought for the little men and fights for change in both his dual identities.
Yup, I saw. Gonna be working through it, but I'm gonna set it up in advance and link my PSN and everything. Leave my stuff on.

SAY IT AGAIN FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK
Superman is not a Jesus analogue. He's a MOSES analogue. His creators were Jewish, why the fuck would they make Super Jesus?
He was put in a floating spaceship (basket) as a baby and sent away so that others could care for him. That's Moses!
