    goku also beats everyone

    hell the only reason there was any real conflict in the cell/buu arcs is because goku was half-assing it because he wanted somebody else to step up and save the world for a change

    I like superman more though

    which is all that matters

    Who could like Goku more

    A terrible person, that's who

    a monster

    I mean I have never seen an episode of DBZ in my life

    but my opinions are sturdily based on prior assumptions

    that makes me right

    At the end of the day, all that matters is this: Kenshiro can make people's heads explode just by touching them, so he's the coolest. The End.

    fuck Frank Miller and fuck Dark Knight Returns and fuck anyone who thinks Superman should be or is a fascist

    he was created as a socialist hero and that is the way he should be

    a man of the people

    Superman is a working class hero, that's for sure

    there is a reason why the last image of All-Star Superman is him labouring

    Goku has lost fights, but never a rematch. He retains a physical body after death, and can instantaneously teleport unlimited distances--between the realms of the living and the dead, he has the capability of destroying solar systems (and by leaps and bounds, not just "he could do it," but it would be easy for him). He's stronger than every competitive fighter with positive karma who has ever existed in his universe.

    When Superman gets too powerful, the writers take away powers, or come up with weaknesses. Goku retires to another realm because he beat everybody.

    It makes me sad that frank miller is a nut

    He has written some really good stuff

    But yeah he clearly is a crazy misogynist asshole

    The Spirit is when Miller gave up any claim to integrity and/or sanity. Also, way to fuck over Will Eisner, guy. Classy as hell.

    An influence on early Superman stories is the context of the Great Depression. The left-leaning perspective of creators Shuster and Siegel is reflected in early storylines. Superman took on the role of social activist, fighting crooked businessmen and politicians and demolishing run-down tenements.

    Has Superman ever fought batman and just beat him in like two seconds

    I feel like that is what would really happen

    I'll qualify this by saying I haven't read any Byrne stuff since I was a kid so I'm going off old memories.

    Byrne a crazy asshole, yes. Misogynist, no.

    Dude turned Sue Storm and She-Hulk into actual female super heores people cared about.

    i get the whole fighting crooked businessmen and politicians part

    but how does demolishing run-down tenements solve anything

    He also likened the theft of intellectual property to rape, and called Jessica Alba a hooker

    And wrote a comic where Superman was mind controlled into doing a porno with Big Barda

    So maybe he's just crazy

    i think it's because of slum lords keeping people there

    presumably new ones in decent condition are supposed to replace them

    oh, well that makes a lot more sense

    i was thinking it was superman's warped way of trying to beautify the city and bring in more real estate value

    As Munch once said, "John Byrne never wrote a fictional woman he didn't want to grab by the throat and lift off the ground" (paraphrased somewhat, but you get the gist)

    Wait, is this the Superman from Superman Returns? If so, Goku.

    I will take Munch's word.

    I guess when your twelve years old reading his FF run you don't really see stuff like that.

  • SolarSolar Registered User regular
    Don't get me wrong

    Byrne wrote a lot of good stuff, his FF was great, his West Coast Avengers (with some horrible, glaring exceptions like turning the Vision into an awful bland colourless robot) were pretty cool, he worked on the X-Men for years with Claremont and was heavily involved in the storytelling on that book, he wrote She-Hulk and as has been said, he made Sue Storm and She-Hulk into the characters that a lot of fans love today.

    It's just that he also was a misogynist at times as well (though he kind of rolled from one extreme to the other, weirdly enough). And to be fair, he was not alone in that by any stretch.

    i guess having an eagle eye perspective of the world will alienate you from what's really going on
