This show legitimately taught me _why_ people like Superman. My only experience with the character had been Snyder’s take, and it just failed to represent what makes Superman who he is.

Of course not. Superman isn't Jesus. He is My neighbor Mr José. Every time I or someone in the block and the next few streets around has a problem or needs help carrying something heavy he Will lend a hand, borrow tools or equipment and/or teach us show us a better way to do it. He Even fend off a couple of muggers one time. Súperman is just like That but at a cosmic scale.

The show has my favorite depiction of Superman in that it never depicts him as being or feeling above regular people. He's just an average guy who wants to help and also just happens to have these amazing abilities. When he's not saving people he has hobbies and interests just like everyone else. It makes him feel much more relatable.

It's a thing we don't talk much, but Superman is the story of an immigrant. An immigrant not as a parasite or a victim, but a good guy.

Can’t spell “My Adventures With Superman” without a massive W

Honestly, my favorite part in the entire show was when Superman tried to help the same criminals he fought in the other episodes. He was willing to break them out despite being dangerous criminals. It's beautiful, and it's all the more tragic that they happily attacked him. It's even implied most of them will not care about this kind act and will face him again gladly in seasons to come. But the fact Superman was willing to do it speaks volume, and knowing Big Blue, he'll do it again no matter the outcome. Actually, I like that this Superman doesn't even interact with the cops, could open up for more "Champion of the Oppressed" stories in the future. Especially since it's confirmed that in the next season we will see Lex Luthor and I am curious about how that will go since despite the obvious story-telling, we haven't seen writers delve into modern-day ultra-capitalist Lex Luthor going up against a quasi-socialist "Champion of the Oppressed" Superman. I also think that going back to Superman's Jewish roots is absolutely a good idea, especially today as the United States' immigration population continues to grow. I am not even Jewish, but as the son of immigrants I can relate to Superman as I can imagine many immigrants can. Hell, oppressed groups as a whole can relate to the Man of Steel and there should be no shame in showing that. After all, he is the Champion of the Oppressed, and as Grand Morrison has said, he's a working-class guy. He's one of us!

Really enjoyed this depiction of Superman it really shows Clark's instinct to put himself BETWEEN danger and other people not just punch problems away from jumping in front of bullets dispite not knowing he was bulletproof to even just throwing himself under the bus for Lois and Jimmy with Perry White when he was upset. To me that's what makes superman important

The seen that sticks with me from this show is when he rushes in front of a laser to save Lois, unaware if it’ll hurt him. They can’t, obviously, but he didn’t know that. Supes would help people whether or not he had superpowers.

Honestly, Evangelion Parasite might be my favourite design he’s had

i always loved superman and still do. every time i say that i have to quickly add "THE REAL SUPERMAN, NOT JESUSMAN OR SNYDERMAN". i'm glad the mainstream is starting to understand the character thanks to MAWS!!!!

Letting showrunners cook, so that their passion and unique ideas aren't dampened by studio interference, is by far the best news we could have heard regarding the fledgling Gunn-verse.

the billionaire is literally called the parasite.

I just overall really LOVE this show. I really loved the renditions of these characters. They feel very grounded and human, but also fresh and super wholesome. Jimmy is fun as a supportive third wheel. Lois is strong-hearted but has her own internal doubts and issues. And Superman, despite being a superhero, is actually very humble and goofy too. Which helps make him out to be a lovable “himbo.”

YES!!! THIS!!! For *years* I've been joking that the first interview question for a potential director/showrunner has to be "Which Biblical figure does Superman represent?" If they don't say Moses, and especially if they say Jesus, they do not get the job. MAWS understood this perfectly. Thank you for presenting it so succinctly!

Why Captain America was a better Superman than Superman: They never tried to make him Jesus, or perfect. He was vulnerable compared to the powers of others, always tried to do the right thing, etc. I never really put together why I didn't like Superman until I saw Winter Soldier and saw a lot of the same concepts executed correctly.

I love the fact that Clark has very little idea about his Kryptonian past. He isn't defined by the set expectation of Jor-El, he's free to make the choice of who he wants to be. It also unshackles him from the idea of "Clark Kent is how Superman sees us". Instead, Clark is and always was Clark Kent, Smallville farm boy and reporter. He just also happens to be Superman. And so we look up to Superman not because he's powerful, but because he's simply a good man doing the right thing. Clark Kent views stopping an alien invasion and helping a lost kid find their parents as equally important ways to help.

The smallest detail which I love is how Superman is saving people long before he gets the suit. He isn't "playing a role" or "doing a job" or "fulfilling a duty" by becoming 'Superman.' Rather, that's just the public putting a name to Clarke's secret identity. Unlike Batman/Bruce Wayne, Clarke and Superman are really one and the same

I loved this show so much! I hadn’t watched much Superman solo media before this show and before this show I always thought Superman was bland and boring unless it was black Superman. But this show taught me that Superman’s ideology of seeing the good in people and being a down to earth guy is why I love Superman

Superman and Lois along with My Adventures With Superman really brought my love for Superman back. Such real and personal depictions of Clark.

This series’s first two episodes legitimately made me cry, mainly because I was so happy to see Clark as just a scared little kid who still had a heart of gold. I partially thank P.O.G for that too.

Thank you for the motivation I've needed to finally watch "My Adventures with Superman. " I'll finish this video in a couple days or so.

Thank you, again, for challenging the grafted on Jesus trope and for pointing out the connections with his creators’ own heritage and cultural lens.

This has easily become my favorite adaptation of Superman, with the only other one that came even close being the old one from the 90s-00s Superman/Justice League cartoons.

The moment I realized I would love this show was after the fight with Livewire, Superman sees the damage their fight caused and cleans it up. It was so simple and yet so perfectly Superman.

As a faithful Christian and a Superman fan thank you for this video, As much of a Superman as I am, saying Superman is Jesus undermines what Jesus did for us. Your video worded my thoughts perfectly. The only thing I would add is Superman is my favorite comic book character because, he shows you can have a family and save the world. "What do you give the man who has everything?" Superman is what a man should strive to be. He is man first, and Lois makes him super. Jesus is God.

Thank you for making these videos. As a Jewish American who thinks a lot about Jewish representation in media, I find them very meaningful. And I think you do a great job with them. I think a supporting fact that you didn't mention in this video is the Superman and Lois TV show, which also mostly eschews Jesus imagery. The thematic layer that S&L adds on to superman is literalizing the father metaphor. It takes this from the comics obviously, but just like his marriage to Lois, it has lasted because it felt additive to the character. I tend to think of the larger division in superman characterization not as christian vs jewish, but as alien vs human. And I think the more alien superman gets read more as a christ-allegory. Exemplified by Morrison stories and Waid stories. Morrison writes a superman that is above it all. Their Kal El's super senses make him a sort of shepherd and protector, but never really one of us, as seen in JLA, Action Comics and All Star. Waids Clark is a human first, a man who does what he can to protect his home and family, and he sees the whole planet as his family, as seen in Birthright and Kingdom Come. Even in Kingdom Come, when he suffers his greatest tragedy, he goes back to the land, to create a very human memorial to the people of Kansas. In Birthright, he becomes a journalist because he's good at it, not so he can monitor the world's threats.

Huge fan of the Superman is not Jesus series. Will you be doing an Andor year later video?

Clark slowly unlocking his powers is a really neat way to let him grow and explore him as a person. He never feels invincible or too strong, which makes the action have more stakes. It leads to nice moments like jumping in front of a laser to protect Lois without knowing if he'd survive. Jack Quaids lends him this sort of dorky everyman energy that makes you want to root for him. The clashes with Lois about doing "bad stuff" are always so delightful and fun to watch. I think this is the first Superman show/movie where he feels completely like a normal guy.

This was really cool. Unfortunately can't speak to the elements at the end (I have a Religious Studies degree but it's all Hinduism and Christianity and I'm nowhere near familiar enough with magical girl anime) but I have been really impressed with how the series handled secret identities. I've been pretty jaded for a while on the concept of secret identities protecting ones loved ones, especially when you're keeping that information from those people themselves. It denies them the ability to make decisions about their safety, the context to know when they're in danger and it denies the hero support, so for a while I was sort of reflexively balking at every hero whose first impulse was to hide their identity. MAWS managed to make it feel very natural though, in a way I originally read through queer theory and the concept of coming out, but which as you say reads really well in terms of Jewish identity as well given the prominence of anti-semeticism. If we consider secret identities not as a way to keep other people safe but as a way to keep the hero safe from threats their powers won't protect them from (rejection, disapproval, discrimination in the case of characters like the X-men, Superman or heroes from minority backgrounds) we open up another, actually coherent front from which to examine secret identities AND we reveal a level of vulnerability we rarely associate with superheroes that can be plumbed for character conflict. Given how much Superman I read back in the day it's been incredible to watch a show that seems not only to show new sides of the character, but to reposition a trope that is usually kind of cliche and clumsy, into a solid emotional tool in telling us about Clark's relationship with his heritage, his body and his friends and I'm glad they didn't invoke the 'I need to protect them from knowing about me' nor string it out for two long. While I might have liked a little more emphasis placed on it before Ivo's introduction episode, it's honestly way better than most of what Spider-man or Batman have ever managed with the same concepts (not to pick those two out but they just happen to be the two that originally jaded me on the concept of secret identities).

It amuses me when critics jump on the transformation sequence that happens once in the whole season and is never used again. You don't hire Studio Mir and expect them not to flex their anime muscle every so often. Personally I think this is one of the best Superman adaptations in years.

This show has truly been something special and truly gives new generations a fantastic take on the character of Superman, who stays true to who he is and maintains his wholesome, earnest and kind heart with an amazing supporting cast of equally interesting and lovable depictions of Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen, that have instantly become fan favourites. The Clark and Lois dynamic is pitch-perfect, played wonderfully by Jack Quaid and Alice Lee, plus this take onJimmy Olsen might in fact be my favourite take on Jimmy Olsen in media. Some of the villains in the show may not be great and some may be a downgrade from their comic counterparts like Silver Banshee, Deathstroke, Livewire, but aside from them, villains like Parasite, General Lane, Waller and Mr. Myxzptlk are all great and unique takes on these characters and villains. The animation has also been consistently great and giving Superman an anime-esque show was a stroke of genius that I hope they apply to more hypothetical shows set in this universe, could you imagine a Flash or Green Lantern animated show set in this universe? I cannot wait for Season 2 as this show has the potential to be this generation's new Spectacular Spider or Batman: The Animated Series, but for Superman, which couldn't make me happier as a Superman fan

Excellent video. I loved the show. As a Superman fan, I really enjoyed the story and the trio of Lois, Clark and Jimmy. As a anime fan, I definitely got those vibes. The show felt hopeful, and seeing Superman help people was so nice. This show along with Superman and Lois are excellent Superman content to check out.

A Superman that terrorizes lobbyist is best Superman.

My Peakventures with Basedman

As a person who is not very familiar with Superman, and only have read like 2 of his comics. This show is amazing, and also I'd say a pretty good introduction for newer generations.

Hopefully, "My Adventures with Superman" means that we've seen the last of Edgelord Snydermand.

I really liked how they linked all the villains to something to do with Superman's past. Made the world feel more cohesive. Superheroe lore can be kinda... overwhelming and bloated, to a newb or casual fan trying to dig deeper. It starts to feel pointless trying to keep track of it all. This is much simpler and makes sense narratively. The history of comics explains the messier lore, but not everything has to be based solely on the source material, and I adore that they give homage to them without relying on them. It makes me want to look stuff up without feeling like I need to memorize a bunch of stuff to fully understand what's happening. It's just fun "other realities" info at that point, so ironically I'm more likely to care.

"It's prefectly possible to read Superman not as Jesus in this show, but as an archtypal shounen protagonist" I mean, it kinda makes sense, specially since Goku from Dragon Ball is essentially anime Superman. (Including a very similar backstory lol.)

The part I hated the most of the recent movies (and maybe the Reeves one) is when Jor-El straight up tells him that he's morally superior to everyone and must teach them humane values or whatever. Like, I get that he can punch asteroids, but does he actually have a Morality Superpower that makes him unlike any human in that regard? He's just some dude - and alternate versions of himself have grown up evil merely because they were raised wrong (and that includes other evil kryptonians like Zod)

When I talked about how I prefer this superman over the overpowered one in other comment sections, a couple of people responded with "but thats a crucial part of his character". Like, it doesn't have to be, they don't really understand superman empathetic and caring persona if they think he has to be overpowered to be a "super" man

I think you hit the nail on the head with the resurrection theme specifically for Superman, where it's a heroic sacrifice but not in the service of some sort of higher message. It seems that so often Hollywood tries to tie everything into a giant moral dilemma to seem more than superficially deep. Instead of seeing these moments and choosing how we are inspired by them, we are being told *how* to interpret them and it's incredibly insulting as an audience member. I didn't initially like this show, but I have to admit that it grew on me. Watching your videos is giving me a better understanding of the light-hearted feel they're going for, and it is a fun and refreshing new take on the character and the themes he represents.

I love this version of Superman. I love that his biological father speaks to him in a completely alien language and he struggles desperately to piece together the context of whatever the hell he’s saying. It’s one thing to have a way to beat the guy to a bloody pulp, but to show him things about his potential origins within reason, suggesting that he was meant to be nothing but a true monster, and buddy I cried along with him too. 😭

Also missed the obvious here. Superman as Samson, the champion of the people with special powers. He is committed to doing good and to relieving the oppression of the people. You can throw in a little Moses as well in Superman's origin. The Superman as Jesus thing, especially in the Snyder film always rankled, along with the hints of his adopted mother as Mary, mother of Jesus.

Excellent video! I'm really loving the responses to this show and this one has a level of thought put in that you just don't find everywhere. 🤓🤓🤓

The first time I saw the transformation I legit shouted "Superman is a Magical Girl!" Needless to say I'm happy someone else saw it.

The show gave me hope that Superman can be presented well to a new audience. You can do dark Superman stories while not making Superman dark himself. I love the anime inspired art style which a lot of young people are into these days. Hopefully Superman Legacy can capture the essence of Superman like this show did.

I loved the first two videos, I can’t wait to see this one

The cross pose in Superman Returns made me literally bust up laughing in the theater.

I love this show. It's very charming and adorable.

I've never found superman a very compelling hero. He works well in Justice League but on his own never appealed to me, until.. This past weekend. My Fiance and I binged the entire season in a day. I was really impressed and love the style.

Still haven’t finished the show. But your introduction and past videos have gotten me excited to finish, so I can watch this ^^

I’m so glad we are getting the real Superman again. Not the Jesus allegory, not the exhausted “Evil Superman” figure, but the neighbor that will lend you a hand If you’re in need. He’s just here to help.

I think what makes Superman stand out the most in my opinion from other superheroes is while yes all good heroes are driven by an empathy/responsibility oriented ideology, Superman does things a little different. The best Superman stories are the ones who ask the question: "can Clark redeem his villains?" We all know he can beat them but it's asking a different question on human nature. Clark may not be human but he is a man, and he knows that all men are susceptible to evil, fear, and hate. Even himself to an extent. But he wants others to believe in themselves that they can become better people. And it's this uplifting message yet also grounded approach that I think Adventures does well. Something that I think is also interesting is how superman stories, even Adventures, makes the humans Cark seeks to help end up hating him for no good reason. They feel challenged and afraid of what he's capable of. The Fermi Paradox is a question that proposes "if life should be abundant in the universe, why don't we see any aliens?" and a possible answer to this question is because they are being wiped out or actively hiding to avoid being wiped out. Superman is an alien to the American military, an unchecked invader with godlike powers, who must be killed before he even CAN turn evil. It's the fermi paradox but applied to us. Humans wish to wipe out Clark because he is POTENTIALLY dangerous. Despite being a good man, all they can see is a threat and while this is only season 1, he manages to change Lois' mind from simply seeing Superman as an anomaly she can get the scoop on, into a man she loves and is willing to protect from a person like Viki Vale who is a more successful version of the woman Lois wanted to originally become.

A pretty great retrospective look at my adventures with Superman. I personally enjoyed the series so far and I can't wait for more from the series in the upcoming second season.

My personal head canon is that Johnathan comes from a long line of Kansan Methodists, but Martha comes from a family of Jewish immigrants and crossed cultural lines in falling in love with Jonathan, similar to the Smallville show. As a Methodist from Kansas with Jewish ancestry, a vision of Superman like that really speaks to me.

Heroes, and especially superheroes, are more than one thing, and that is by design; they are intended to be symbols of what are the best parts of society, and what can be its best elements. The villains they face, by design, are intended to act as the symbols against what they stand for or some aspect of the hero taken to an unhealthy extreme that is more dangerous than anything else. Some of the best examples of this are seen in various series, but especially in the classic DCAU series, and a lot of the same DNA is tapped into in My Adventures With Superman, more so than most of the other animated DC projects between it and the DCAU. Superman, at his core, is a fundamentally good person, and so is Batman; they have different approaches, but they still both act as symbols. Superman is this bright symbol of what it means to be someone doing good because it's just the right thing to do, inspiring others around him to be better people by setting examples they can point to, if not emulate themselves. Batman, on the other hand, operates on a premise that seems opposed to Superman's, being someone who only makes himself known to the criminal element when he wants to scare them into messing up or has no other real options afforded him at the moment. However, he is still doing what he can to improve things for the people around him. Batman has a caring heart; he tries to empathize with his villains, give them chances to be better people, and even sets up programs in his civilian identity to help make those opportunities to be better people more accessible. Both do what they can to give others the tools to be better people, just in different ways, and are disappointed and disheartened when the people they are trying to help actively choose to disregard and ignore those tools for becoming better people. I know I ranted on about Batman in a video about Superman. Still, I think it was unavoidable, especially if the next season of My Adventures With Superman starts opening up its world and has Clark meeting those other heroes on the DC roster, both well-known and not-so-well-known. But Superman and Batman are pretty intertwined with each other on a few different levels, and have been for a few decades now.

Been holding off on watching this one, but I finally got around to finishing the season, and man, what a breath of fresh air. I'm glad you see the same hope in this that I do.

It's true. Superman isn't Jesus. He's kind of Moses plus John Carter plus Doc Savage plus Philip Wylie's Gladiator. The best superheroes drew from a lot of different sources (Like Batman, whos' Zorro plus The Bat plus The Shadow plus Leonardo Davinci plus Dick Tracy).

We can mostly thank bronze age Superman author Elliot S. Maggin for making Superman Space Jesus. I am not hating on the man, he wrote some amazing Superman stories, but unfortunately the Jesus Analogy is often the only influence less talented writers have adopted for the character. This is why the My Adventures with Superman feels so fresh and yet faithful to the source material.

This is the only Superman series I've seen where I feel like "Clark Kent" is not his secret identity, but who he really is. It's the only Superman I actively support, because he feels like he needs the support. It feels like he could lose, but I don't want him to. It's not about what Superman can do or who he can defeat, it's about wanting Clark Kent to keep himself and the people he cares about safe while he finds himself.

This is the most interest in Superman I've ever had

I really have liked this one since the DCAU version along with the Arrowverse version of him. I will miss Cavill as Superman because he got cheated out by wack writing. I'm glad you are making another video

If Superman was Jesus he would avoid getting into fights and just preach nonviolence.

I feel like having Vikram Gandhi in zack synder movies saying that everyone wants a messiah, religious figure feels like cheating bc he made his own religion and had tons of followers.

the books of judges from the torah (the old testament) is in my opinion are the inspiration for 20th century superheroes, and to a lesser extent super villains. I have enjoyed this show, but I want to thank you for reminding me of my own believes ... as this show could also be called "Samson gets a Day Job" I said it before and I will say it again, You are a Pillar, just not of garbage.

Great video! Well put

This show got super man right in one episode

I've always liked Superman but the thing I liked best about him is how he's used to explore philosophical topics. "What would a person who always chooses to do the right thing and has the power to accomplish that DO in a given situation?" 'What would that person be like if they grew up in Soviet Russia?' 'What would that person do if he was presented with a kill or be killed moment?' 'What would that person do if he needed to prove his ideology of nonviolence to a blood thirsty world?'' To me that's fascinating. It also produces a lot of clunkers as far as stories go but that comes with the territory with a character who's almost 90 years old at the time of writing this comment. Having said all that, the character himself hasn't been AS interesting (to me personally) as the stories and ideas that arise from him. That also comes with the territory of having been written by so many writers with different takes on him. Until this series. This is my new favorite show. Every fan of Superman has THEIR Superman. Maybe for you it's 'The regular Kansas Farm boy who has powers. Maybe it's 'The immigrant trying to balance rediscovering his roots with the life he's made in the only home he can remember.' Maybe for you personally it's the 'Punches really hard' guy. For me, in this show, I've found mine. This is MY Superman. I love this Clark for all his Character strengths and flaws in this series. He's such a lovable goof. I can't express enough how much I adore him in this show.

People keep seeing superman as Jesus because they keep having social commentary which gets framed as the Jesus vs the phrases in the whole shcism around his life. Compounded with the rather minimalist Moses influence and its not hard to see why it keeps happening.

Superman isn’t Jesus. And he isn’t Moses. He’s Clark.

This show gave more characterisation and subverted gf trope better than Invincible show, which is funny considering this a kids show and yet Lois character arc actually respected my intelligence and was more subtle than entire Invincible show, which as comic fun makes me sad. On the other had: Innuendos from original Livewire will be missed, but I adore goblin Silver Banshee and elf Mxy. And Parasite both obvious change and just fitting.

This show reminds me of Superman All Star, which is a great demonstration on how good Superman stories can be.

Lore of Superman isn't Jesus 3 momentum 100

6:54 Why do you mention Sailor Moon while using a picture from Cardcaptor Sakura?

Honestly, Clark's magical girl transformation is so perfectly the trope, you can watch any video about anime magc girl transformation symbolism. It is that to a T. The short version, which iimo is the real thing anyway, is just... good old metamorphoses/transformation allegories (not the novellete, the general concept, maybe you could refer to ovid's one), but with a now distinct and tropey visual style associated with it for the act of transforming. It really is what it says on the tin, a some sort of transformation (and it can be any of its varieties) presented in a seemingly or literally magical manner. Not a separate tradition or trope, but a visual style of it. A style that has origins in a desire to make the transformation seequence visually interesting since it is a visual medium, big influences by classic western animations and budget saving techniques (like repeated stock animation) - no surprise He-man and Shera looked so much like the Japanese versions, they had similar influences and driving forces. You could make a point of how the metaphorses in the tropey magical girl transformation happens with vibrant colors and plenty of blinding lights are there to really make heretofore hidden aspects of a character so visible they shine and entirely unmissable afterwards... but that is quite literally just facetes of the transformation/metamorphoses trope it is trying to be a visualization of in the first place.

The visual nods to One Punch Man are awesome.

I know Jake Wyatt from university, and he understands all of what you've discussed well. Excellent video!

3:25 Yeah, the rogues gallery all using the same tech is bland, but everything else is phantastic.

My Adventures with Superman is great. I watched the entire season with my mom and the biggest takeaway she got was how Lois fell in love with Clark first instead of Superman. And that's a whole topic worth talking over. I might do it one day, but not in a KZfaq comment lol.

at 10:23 Why did you use a photo of Michael Knowles when talking about Nazi ideas and rhetoric?

Excellent breakdown!

Of course he isn't. Everyone knows Batman is Jesus.

Love the show.

People’s minds are always blown when they learn about the Jewish/Superman connection

My favorite part of this show is that it brings back something in Superman a lot of people thought was cringe-worthy or boring about him in the past; the uncompromising heart. I never much cared for the dark and gritty portrayals of Superman, even if I respect them.

Good stuff

It sucks that I spoiled myself but thanks so much for letting me know this show exists, this looks so cool!

I enjoyed the Villains in My Adventures With Superman though. My most favorite Villains currently in the Series are Mr. Mxyzpltk, General Lane, Slade Wilson, Alexander Luthor, Brainiac and Parasite.

The show does have some major issues (mainly with Lois), but I really do like the direction it took with Clark. People tend to think that being nice=boring, and I know the Synder verse liked to make him very dark. But what's so great about this character is that he's just a regular person (minus the powers) trying to the right thing.

True and true. Glad Superman is being brought back to his roots rather than Ayn Rand fantasy

He's supposed to be an analogue for both Moses and Jesus but mostly Moses Which nobody ever goes with the Moses angle and it's kinda sad

This show was the first time that I realised I liked superman, before that I had thought he was boring like loads of other people, but im glad I think differently now

This show was great!

07:05 - 07:21 --> I haven't watched this show yet but that sure is a Magical Girl Transformation Sequence™ Good for him! ^_^ Also hell yeah for more deep dives from magical girl/shonen and Jewish frameworks of analysis and knowledge!

For a show that radically changes so many character designs and personalities, it never bugged me. It all just worked within this world and complimented the lead characters and their arcs. This show made me realize that I disliked Snyder's Superman not because it was different, but because his characters and story just weren't captivating from an emotional level.

I always felt like Supes is that hero that shows us that hey we all have the capability to be Superman if you see someone in need lend a helping hand if you can this is just how I've felt towards him from an early age not a Messiah figure in BvS that didn't even feel like Supes yes Cavil looks like Supes but he was not Superman in his ways.

my adventures with superman renewed my love for superman!

S😅 .. superheroes are.. magical girls(?) I know that there's bound to be cultural differences here, but yep! For some reason, American superheroes feel much more similar to magical girls rather than shonen protags.

Snyder is ponderous and pretentious, and yes, ruined Superman. Glad he’s gone.
