You could actually make a debate on who has better storylines between Thor and Superman, Kal certainly has a plethora of stinkers

But if we rate peaks I just fail to see how any Thor comicbook sizes up to All-Star Superman

For The Man Who Has Everything awesr

Death of Superman with that big grey dick with bony protrusions entering Clark's tight little ******* was the best comic arc ever.

Of course the Wolverine fan would have a bony protrusion fetish

Yeah FTMWHA is awesome. And the animations don't match the comic, the Alt Right Jor-El, the Jason Todd oogling Wonder Woman, the scariest and trolliest Mongul ever..

The douchebaggy carries over to this thread.

For me, Kingdom Come is the best Superman story. The Best Thor story is the one where he jabs Graviton in the ass.

It's as much of a Superman story as KMC is a cdtm forum.

Also, incredibly overrated. Riddler trolling the villains club is the only legit good part.

I don't believe KC compares with the best of Superman's stories.

Thor's best stories? Maybe

But if we rate peaks I just fail to see how any Thor comicbook sizes up to All-Star Superman Pretty much yeah. Thor just doesn't have those iconic stories because he bluntly isn't nearly as strong or enduring of a character concept.

Norse mythology just isn't as enduring as a character whipped up by two dorks in Ohio.

I don't think superman has anything come close to god of thunder or fear itself since n52

side characters wise, thor has a much better supporting cat as well

on villain side you have gorr, hela, serpent, surtur etc

on the good side you have jane, odin, volstagg etc

superman has the worst supporting cast, nobody cares about eradicator or bizarro or parasite or toyman

The two best Superman stories are "Peace on Earth" and "Grounded".

Superman is at his best, when he tries and fails.

Superman isn't a bad and boring hero, because he has too many powers on a too high of a level. He is a bad and boring hero, because the only times he faces adversity is when someone sticks a Kryptonite dildo up his butt. That's not relatable. I want to see Superman fail, so I can root for him to still keep trying and hopefully win the next time around. But that's not how most writers write Superman. When you read most Superman stories, you know he's gonna win, because he is Saitamaman. He HAS to win - "for humanity's sake".

Saying something along the lines of Superhero comics depress him but it's his own fault. Wish I could find it, it's clear early trolling.

Superman: birthright was amazing. It made me appreciate supes and garnered more interest in his character.

Thor 341-343 (Simonson) is a hidden gem. Thor Ragnarok from the dissambled era was epic. Jms run on thor was great as well.

Superman is the more studied and respected character between the two. He's got more to choose from.

Some of these arguments I can see affecting below average writers from making good Superman stories, if they buy into the notions that you present they will fall into pits and errors. "This is a comicbook, it can't be good if the good guys win" is ultimately a piss poor generalisation and a top down nonsensical way to analize a story, it's not about the end, it's about the journey.

But that's also not a good criterea to dismiss Superman stories as if you analize some of the best Superman tales we are discussing such as Red Son or For the man who has everything you will realize Superman actually is defeated in them for the most part.

Edgy thinking like this misses on the fact some characters can be just fun to write. Actually the charm of Thor's is that he's fun

Tommy Monaghan being a perfect example of a fun character.

He's relateable, flawed, far from invincible. But most importantly Garth Ennis seemed to genuinely enjoy writing his journey.

Keith Giffen is fondly remembered as the guy who wrote humorous or outlandish stories. G'nort, Kilowog, and Martian Manhunter go out for a night on the town, and cause a reformed Black Hand to have a relapse. Vril Dox and Lobo fake an election and reform a government over night.

From LOSH Five Years Later to Thanos, everything Giffen did was gold.


And you can say the same about Morrison with Superman. All Star Superman was a love letter from a fan, to the fans.

So to make a point for Superman being a good and totally-not-boring character, you bring up a 20 year old elseworld story? (An elseworld story, which somewhat contrasts the standard Superman, whom I'm calling bad.)

You're right about the edge. Edge is important, when it comes to characters. No one is a shining beacon of hope like DC has been portrayed Superman for over 80 years. You know what that means? That he has been the exact same character for 80 years. Now obviously some people like that, but let's not kid ourselves: Peter Parker / Spider-man is an infinitely better character than Clark Kent / Superman, because Peter has dimensions Clark can't even dream of.

I've said it before and I'm gonna say it again: In a decently written comic Superman would go crazy within the first few weeks of him being Superman. There is too much bad stuff going on in the world for a character like that to be that righteous and uplifting. And this isn't about Supermans character allowing him to be that way. It's about the fact that DC writers shield him from those sad and complex stories.
That's why I say that "Peace on Earth" is the best Superman story. He tries to save the entire world and he fails. Hungry people ask him, if he will bring them food the next day and he knows that he won't, because even he has limits. That's why "Grounded" is so good as well. He spends time with a suicidal girl and promises her that he won't stop her from jumping. He might be able to save her there against her will, but if she wants to die, she'll jump again, when he isn't around. And then you have some people whining their eyes out and saying that Superman would never act that way. And they post that stupid ass panel of him hugging a suicidal goth chick and immediately converting her. How in hells name is that not absolutely abysmal writing? It's such Gary Stu level non-sense and Superman comics are filled with it. You may like it, but Mary and Gary Stus are fundamentally bad characters.

None of the things you've said really shoots down the notion of Superman having better stories than Thor. Also I find your arguments regarding the superior quality of "Peace on Earth" and "Grounded" faulty because story is not defined by the kind of high concepts you are throwing but their execution and the narration put at their disposal.

Ultimately though I think our positions are too diametrically opposite to really match because we have established I don't like reader's obsessions with character "complexity"

Yeah, no. Characters determine what stories you can tell with them. A good writer can write anything, but you would still never put someone like Alan Moore on a character like Squirrel Girl. We know what kind of a character Miracleman was in the past and we know what kind of a character Miracleman became, when Alan Moore wrote him. Alan Moore transformed Miracleman into a complex and interesting character.

Superman has remained the same bad and boring character for 80 years. And every time you even consider elevating him as a character and giving him complexity, you end up with an (often superior) elseworld story. That's why standard Superman is a bad character.

Superman is one-dimensional. That is an undebatable fact. Again, compare someone as one-dimensional as Superman to someone as three-dimensional as Spider-Man. It's day and night difference in how interesting and relatable the character is. With Spider-Man you can go almost anywhere, because the stories he has been put in, have shaped him as a character. Superman on the other hand? Eh.

I'd strongly argue that even Thor is a more interesting, more complex and even more relatable character than Superman. But hey, we're talking Marvel VS DC here, so that's a given anyway.

Miracleman wasn't a character. He was a vehicle to show a flawed ideal.

Miracleman was a story about how utopian idealogy can only work if you literally have a pantheon of gods force it onto humanity, and transform humanity itself into something inhuman.


This was very obvious, Miraclewoman blatantly said humanity is nothing special, and Miraclemans wife very heavy handedly criticized him for it.

Your argument goes against your point: you want to force Superman into non-Superman stories and claim those are good by the sheer fact they are not Superman stories.

Also I feel you don't get Alan Moore.

Tbf, a lot of this isn't a Superman specific issue.

What's the last interesting Spidey story? One More Day (note I said interesting) was nearly 15 years ago, same as WWH and Civil War and other big storylines. Annihilation was nearly 17 years ago.

Comics are just stuck atm. I'm sure Parm or Samzed would be angrily typing out how Spidey #7849 has just wrapped up an incredibly moving storyline, but most of us won't have kept up with it (and we profess to be comic fans, let alone the general public).

Oh my god. No, that's exactly the point I'm making. Superman is a bad and boring character, because he has been pushed into unrealistic and unrelatable stories for 80 years, which have turned him into the bad and boring character that he is.

Some people here are approaching the outlook on Superman the wrong way. Superman is an objectively bad and boring character. He is lawful good and lawful good is always one-dimensional.
You on the other hand subjectively like Superman, because you believe in the idea of a character, who is always good no matter the odds. Most people grow up and become more critical and cynical. They start asking questions. And once you start asking questions, a character like Superman objectively falls apart. You ignore those questions and continue to roll with Supermans status quo and one-dimensionality. Which is absolutely not a problem of course, but ultimately it's subjective.

Feels like either you're a sixteen years old edgelord or maturity is still waiting for you to grow up.

Superman doesn't needs your validation for you to be a good character. He wasn't and still is the highest selling superhero of all time (600 million physical copies) sold because he was a bad, one dimensional character.

Seriously, grow up.

And ironically, people grow up to be more fond of Superman.

I haven't called you out in your strawmanning the other ten times you did it in your previous posts but I'm starting to wonder if you'll stop.

Saying stuff like "subjectively liking" is really redundant. If you could actually like something objectively, it'd be simple concepts such as justice and good which you would consider one-dimensional and boring.

Bottomline: a character is but a tool, a simple tool can be the best one for a specific task. Your appeal to complexity is like wanting a computer to hammer a nail by claiming hammer are objectively bad tools.

Superman will live on as an archetypal character with the most known symbol in the world next to the cross. All superheroes are inherently compared to him by how far or close they are to his profile.

Pedestrians on the street will unironically call him the greatest superhero of all time.

No one will ever say that about Sentry. You could make a list of the greatest comic characters of all time and he wouldn't even make top 100. Sentry is a nobody who will never leave the sphere of CBR droll, basement level discourse. (Don't get me wrong, I like the character)

This infuriates the virgin forum dweller Enzeru, clearly.

If popularity resulted in something being objectively good, then the "Twilight" and the "50 Shades of Grey" franchises would be objectively good. Which they're not. Yet you have teenage girls and bored housewives being in love with those franchises - which is, again, subjective.

Pedestrians on the street will also unironically call Batman and Spider-Man the greatest superheroes of all time, because that's all they know. Doesn't change the fact that there are characters, whom they'd potentially like even more. And that doesn't change the fact that both Batman and Spider-Man are better characters than Superman. Also, being less known =/= being less popular. I think we all know that Batman and Spider-Man outsell Superman. Even Spider-Mans first appearance outsold Supermans first appearance:

Twilight or Fifty Shades of Grey don't sell for 80 years and are still going strong.

Pedestrians on the street will also unironically call Batman and Spider-Man the greatest superheroes of all time, because that's all they know. Doesn't change the fact that there are characters, whom they'd potentially like even more. And that doesn't change the fact that both Batman and Spider-Man are better characters than Superman. Also, being less known =/= being less popular. I think we all know that Batman and Spider-Man outsell Superman. Even Spider-Mans first appearance outsold Supermans first appearance:

It's funny to me, that you got so upset over my statements, that you have to attack me on a personal level. It's even funnier to me that you think attacking the Sentry will attack me on a personal level.

But the funniest thing is that you've registered in 2009 and have 18524 posts, while I've registered in 2011 and have 1610 posts. And I am the virgin forum dweller? Thanks for the laugh.

yes you are the virgin dweller, I see you in comicvine trolling the same shit, it's cringeworthy. nobody cares about sentry and everybody knows the top 2 or 3 feats sentry has and it doesn't even compare to even the top 30 of superman's best feats
