Your take on Superman... in Off Topic by pancho1007   
Thursday, April 26, 2012
   [Edit]
I was just wondering what other people think about the man of steel...do you think that he is dated or does he still fly high in the comic book universe...I just want to know what other people think....[See More]

I like that analogy...but that is pretty much what everyone that I talk to is saying...it's like he is just there for the sake of being there. I have no problem with the character whatsoever, but after talking to friends I also realized that something was off...I think "bland" would be too strong word but something close to that is what I could describe the character. Is it wrong for me to think that he was better off being killed by doomsday?I remember loving this character as a kid, but I just can't find anything appealing to him now...I sure hope that I don't offend anyone...I know supes has built the foundation for comics, however I just don't see him doing much nowadays.

If you compare Superheros to beverages then Superman would be water. He's not that interesting and he's been around forever. That's not to say he's bad, he's just the most basic archetype of a superhero that there is.

I can't stand him in new 52 but honestly wasn't in love with how he was written for a long time before...HOWEVER... I am completely in LOVE with the grounded story arc. I know its a polarizing story arc but I the side of the fence of loving it. It made me LOVE and respect Superman in ways I haven't since I was a little kid...or when I saw the Finally of the JLU cartoon where he fought Darkseid.

yeah they had a fast commercial for it. It won't be like the old toonami sadly. they'll stuff all their horrid animated shows on toonami and leave adult swim open for their crap live action stuff and making fun of anime fans.

Thats too nice man. Without our mommas none of us would be here or the people we are. So to all the mothers out there HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

I am blessed by having an AMAZING Mom. She has not only supported by encouraged and helped my hobby. Hell I am grown now with kids of my own but whenever my mom gets a chance I get a call from the toy isle listing all the stuff they have and asking if me or my siblings need anything and 98% of he time when they have something we want or need and we have my mom pick it up for us she refuses to let us pay her back.

My wife is also an amazing mother. Time for work school and spending time with all our kids. I swear the woman is a great mom who does it all....Somewhat scary

Hello and let me start off by saying that this is an awesome site. I am a newcomer here and I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Rick and hence the name triggerrick and I am in the United States army and I'm currently stationed on fort Carson Colorado and I first saw this site about two months ago and I was in need of a new hobby for when I'm deployed.

Okay I will be the one who asks. Do they kick your as$ on the army base for playing with "dolls". From what I hear most of them are really cool and chill and tons of different people have all kinds of hobbies on the base. But I figured Id ask anyway

Regardless welcome to figurerealm. Hope you stay...least until I get bored of you

I thought you broke your knee by being a wimp They had a special on the Pittsburgh news as it's catching on around here. It's caught on thanks to a few movies that had characters doing variations of it.
