They have already established what CA Superman said, until Manhattan beats that it's set in stone what the pecking order is. And for me it kind of ruins the comics all together, no matter what big baddie comes along DC readers will never have any kind of suspense or anything because you always know Superman will win no matter what and that he is stronger no matter what and it makes the whole entire story just plain boring.
And all comics do it but Marvel doesn't have any characters that are set in stone powerful like that.
I don't mean it like that, it's just how I personally feel, many other things like that sometimes take me out of comics completely, like when characters die. It's just so boring knowing they are gonna come back.
We all know the good guy is gonna win. We just do, and when I realized what companies were doing as a kid I stopped for like ten years and never even looked at another comic. I just feel like a lot of authors are complete hacks and resort to gimmicks to sell the comic.
You’re missing the point I think.
What Morrison was going for in my opinion, is that Superman transcends the paper he is written on. It is is the readers that shapes not only the story of Superman, but our own life. Like the saying goes
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
Against to me, I took it in the sense that is it our choices and responsibilities to strives to be good, and Morrison is using Superman as a catalyst for us to aspires too.
Like I said, that’s the way I interpret Final Crisis with the thought robot. Is my interpretation the right one when it concerns others? Or course not. But it’s my interpretation, and it’s up to every readers to come up with their own interpretation.
