nazca posted:I think that if every super hero was an egotistical dictator that didn't care about what others thought of them the stories would be boring. problem is that as written they end up as egotistical dictators for the status quo - superman in particular has the power to remove every corrupt or evil administration in the world but doesn't, indeed he puts a stop to those who would assassinate tyrants or use political violence to fight oppression. superman refuses to put a stop to evil in the world yet preaches decorum to those who suffer under it. he punishes people driven to crime by a life time lived in an abusive system. the only way he can escape from the amorality of this is to masquerade as a normal human and pretend to be powerless to change things for the better, so he can feel that he should only have the agency of a man while regularly exercising the power of a god to protect a system that is immoral to the core let's face it Clark Kent doesn't exist to protect superman, or his loved ones, from his enemies, Clark Kent exists to protect superman from his conscience |
