        I guess the appeal of The Boys to me is that it goes more into how “Super Heroes”. Would be exploited in a capitalist war fuelled society like the US. What happens when the people that are currently in power, would get access to such a thing. When it becomes about profit and image rather than the actual good of society. No sugarcoating whatsoever.

    I recommend watching this excellent Pop Culture Detective video titled Defenders of the Status Quo

    it might ruin your enjoyment of marvel though

    If I lived in the DC universe I’d be on team Luthor. This all powerful alien shows up on earth and starts dictating morality and telling every human what to do, wrecking cities and tossing cars and shit

      You’d rather a billionaire tell everyone what to do instead? I’d be on team Waller. She at least has some checks and balances.

        Being such a monster that your subordinates, who happily participated in your illegal invasion of a sovereign nation, have to physically assault you to stop your crimes against humanity isn’t having checks and balances.

        Lex (named after Alexander) is a representation of a current age Alexander, a humans who is intelligent, driven and capable (he could balance the national budget on a napkin and fix the global economy if he wanted to) people just don’t like his methods.

        If you look at Lex as Alexander, Superman is an Alien who shows up from space and is constantly trying to stop Lex from taking over the world (which he could do if not for Superman). So how moral is Superman in stopping Lex? If Superman had landed in ancient times, would he have stopped Alexander? Would he have annihilated Caesar, or Genghis, or Napoleon? Interfering in human affairs and changing the course of human history forever? The very thing his father Jor El told him not to do?

        I think it’s an interesting take, to see Lex as a human being trying to achieve his potential and rule over other humans, something Lex feels is his right if he can achieve it, while an outsider is trying to stop him, based on a fake “justice in the American way” morality that never existed. Superman is an alien who thinks he’s a brainwashed farm boy who drank the Kool aid of American propaganda.

    That guy is a hero

    Oh no, he murdered 38 people.

    Actually he was under mind control when he did that but he’s still a hero.

      Actually he’s rich/famous so it’s alright, he’s a hero.

      Imagine a no name who start doing half the shit the avengers are doing.

      Actually we don’t need to imagine, usually when a no name with power start to do something he’s depicted as the villain of the story

    We worship deities that have weak evidence for their existence and they have committed atrocities that most villains wish they could pull off.

    Trust me, the average human would dickride the Avengers to death if they existed.

    If there were superheros that could violate the laws of thermodynamics at will, I would expect them to at least run the world on limitless clean energy.

    It would probably only take a little bit of time to figure out ways to store the energy so that all of society could run without the superheros continuously working shifts and stuff: like maybe they just reheat a molten salt core from time to time, or fill up a high altitude lake with water upstream from some hydro plants.

      Wasn’t Tony Stark going to scale up the Arc Reactor in first movie for clean, limitless energy? Instead, he fought a radical environmentalist to close his story.
