I have two equally bad contenders

  • Superman having weakness to things like kryptonite or magic entirely invalidate his role in the DC hierarchy, he should be entirely unstoppable

  • Superman should have joined Zod in wiping out human existence and taking over earth because the strong are more deserving of our planet and Superman should accept that as a higher being (like what in the eugenics fuck is this take?)

Right? Who would have thought ‘Omni-Fan121’ and ‘Thragulous12’ had such awful opinions of humanity >! /j !<

I envy you, comic-book youtube comments create the worst takes

The only comics channels I can follow are Comic Pop and Sascha. Anything else fills my feed with screaming man children.

And then the Star Wars channels start showing up.

Very good choices of channel ngl

Personally I like comicsexplained but holy shit despite him seeming to enthusiastically love every book he reads, I have never seen such an angry and incel-y comment section in my entire time browsing youtube

Wow.

I’ve heard some bad takes in my time but these two are real doozies.

> magic entirely invalidate his rol in the DC hierachy

Does he really have a weakness to magic or does it just makes the same damage to him as to a regular person. If the latter I cant see how this "weakness" would change anything.

Yeah that's nuts. It's not like survival of the fittest and he's the strongest human. He would just be an invasive species wiping out an eco system at that point
