Comic Strips

It is interesting that Superman’s archenemy was an incredibly wealthy businessman. That seems to be the exact problem with our world today (there’s just many more of them).

Well, Green Arrow. But you have a point.

Captain Planet to the rescue!

Storm and aquaman are pretty pro environmentalist without making it their only identity.

Poison Ivy is essentially an anti-hero at this point, and she is considered fairly powerful too.

His nemesis is literally a billionaire and he never managed to get rid of him.

We got American Superman. We got Soviet Superman. We need Anarchist Superman.

Batman is a billionaire

I bet you if he just lightly beat up one billionaire a day that the problem would sort itself out pretty quickly.

That's why he's constantly fighting ~~Jeff bezos~~ Lex Luther l.

Just have superman round up every billionaire and political leader and drop them off on an deserted island, and the rest of us can start fixing our problems like adults.

Wasn't there a small parody comic about this?

Kryptonite is pork, basically?

But you said they were robots Rick!!

They're bureaucrats Morty! I don't respect em.

How many rounds around earth til un-inventing plastic?

Only watched half of the video (because it's something I'm well aware of), so it might have gone into it, but another angle is that there's often villains that make good points and then suddenly take it in a batshit direction.

Like Thanos had a point but apparently never understood exponential growth and how reducing all life by any constant factor is just delaying the same result, even if his snap made 99% of people disappear (unless he snaps enough people that the population collapses entirely, which is what he wanted to avoid).

There's many other examples where reasonable starting points end up in unquestionably evil conclusions. Pretty sure it's just propaganda to make people who don't think much about things link those reasonable beginnings with "evil" in their minds.

Also there's characters like Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark who are billionaires but their stories always ignore the realities of what must be done in order to become a billionaire (ie underpay staff doing the actual work by billions). In Stark's case, they sidestep that by giving him super advanced AIs and automation robots, though he's still the owner of a large corporation, that he still benefits from despite offloading any of the responsibility of even running it to everyone else.

Does superman think humanity chose capitalism? If Superman landed in 1600s Europe, would he think humanity chose feudalism and help put down peasant uprisings? 1700s Haiti, would he help stop slaves from stealing or enacting violence against the French?
