"Money can't buy happiness" laments the billionaire as he uses his copious free time he has thanks to his money to woo a female that will make him happy. I'm sure he'd be MUCH happier if he got fired from his second job for being late because he was busy fighting crime or being depressed and didn't have an extra second to spare on his personal life even if he didn't smell like fry oil or minimum wage.

Saying "money can't buy happiness" is like saying "money can't make you less hungry"

There's a bunch of studies about money not affecting happiness once you get above 80k USD or so because at that point all your needs are easily taken care of and there aren't problems that are solvable by money beyond that point.

Money can't buy fulfilling relationships or personal growth or a lot of things.

You are really mad at a comic book. You should watch Rebels Without a Cause, it's about a bunch of kids who don't have any reason to be mad too because they have families and money.

If it helps I'm mad at a common, and untrue, saying no matter the medium in which it is delivered. You don't get to play the "lol cormic brooks!!1" card in a thread for discussing comic books, you're just as bad as those assholes that pay money to be on a forum.

Right, because it's not money that allows the freedom to have time for personal relationships. People working two jobs and barely scraping by have just as much free time to develop relationships as a billionaire. see also: the exact same image you quoted. If he didn't have all that money he wouldn't be talking to the incredibly attractive, super smart, doctor lady, he'd be explaining, for the fourth time, why he couldn't take an expired coupon for another store and hoping the manager doesn't just fire him for "bad customer service". He wouldn't have gotten that kiss that made him smile so much. And you know what "smiling" is often an indicator of in humans? What emotion could the artist have been trying to convey?

Well.... it's more like once you hit 80k you need to have a ton more money before you hit the next "tier" of needs that can be solved by money, which are often problems created by having so much money like property/estate/time management.

And money can absolutely buy the means towards relationships and growth. Fulfilling relationships and personal growth are loving hard when you have to work even 1 full-time job you hate just to make ends meet. I mean yeah this is big loving news to anyone here but come on if you can't relate at all to what Duke is saying then you're being disingenuous at best.

Dude, I'm a member of the working poor and think you're being loving insufferable. It's loving Iron Man, the only options for writing him are having no personal conflict or having personal conflict that can't be solved with money. One of those makes for interesting character interactions and it's not he first option.

I had asthma growing up, but was still able to worry about Spider-Man even though he had greater than normal physical abilities.

I bought the issue based on this one page you posted. And after reading it I have to say thanks. That was the best Superman comic I've read in years. I had a giant smile on my face the entire issue.

I don't want to mislead anyone with my comments, there's no actual Superman in the issue. Clark is a child the whole time. But it's fantastic.

The oddest thing about that page to me is that he suggests that he doesn't get sympathy when he complains about how dangerous it is, in the suit of armor he built to regularly save the world from aliens with. Billionaire or not, I bet people would generally be understanding about that.

It's comics (and films) like these that illustrate why DC is way better at dealing with class issues than Marvel ever could. "Money can't buy you happiness" is a notion that lost all meaning after Reagan/Thatcher's time in office, where the gulf between rich and poor became so endless that the idea of a working rich guy like Tony Stark is so far beyond the pale it may as well be set in a permanent time-loop fixed at 40 years ago. If a celebrity wants people to hear what they think, you can bet that there'll be an outlet willing to give them all the airtime they want.

I don't know, even though both companies lean hard on the trope of the virtuous rich guy helping the world with his largesse, I think Marvel's long-running love-affair with the idea of the relatable blue-collar supervillain makes their comics a lot more amenable to making meaningful statements about class. There have been so many Marvel stories since the 80's about guys with Armadillo suits or whatever being forced into crime by heartless economic factors that it's hard not to see that as one of the big ever-present struts that Marvel Logic is built on.

This could just be confirmation bias-- I don't read a lot of DC and am not as familiar with thier output from the 70s-80s-- but from what I know Marvel has also been more consistently interested in how heroes pay the rent, get food on the table, etc. For every comic where Tony Stark whips out a new flying car, there's another where Peter Parker has to pick between being Spider-Man or getting a paycheck he really needs. Even characters like Daredevil and She-Hulk, for all that they're usually shown as pretty well off, often feature in stories that hinge on their actual labor in ways that, say, Superman stories don't.
