If you think anything else, it's childish morality."Should" try "if" they "want" to be better. We don't. Clearly. How haven't you figured that out yet?
IF ANYTHING, You're just proving my exact point. Anyone who thinks Supes is relatable to anything actually human has never met a human and has a Saturday morning cartoon moral compass. So, in trying to refute my point, you made yourself the example that proved my point.
Your definition of relatable is incredibly narrow. But you know what? Maybe you've never:
-Been in love
-Wanted to be with someone but couldn't be with them
-Suffered the death of a parent
-Suffered the death of a close family member
-Suffered the death of a colleague or friend
-Had romantic relationship troubles
-Had the chance to help someone, but either failed or waited until it was too late to do so
-Watched a close friend or family member go through extreme loss and not know how to help them deal with it
-Felt like an outcast
-Felt torn between your heritage and a new life you've made for yourself
In that case, sure, I could see why you wouldn't find Superman relatable.
Then again, if your criteria for relatable is whether they have superpowers or not, and consider someone like Batman relatable, well... I don't know what to tell you, really. But again that goes back to the narrowness.

Lol @ “emonomicon”Alberto says nobody can relate to Superman’s morality, and only a few weeks ago was arguing that Magneto was the most morally relatable character. The edginess is overwhelming.

Yup.

😂 Magneto is ABSOLUTELY justified, he's always been the good guy period. I stand by that too. Let me know when you wanna have that discussion so i can own you again. Just say the word xD
I doubt even Stan Lee would make that kind of statement.
But that is one of the best things about X-Men, I suppose: that it allows people to look at it from different angles and to find arguments with merit.
