Alright i know there must be a few comic nuts out there besides manga. Basically i just watched Death of Superman DTV. Even though i think Superman is a retarded Superhero it was a really awesome feature. I found this miles more entertaining then the lastest live action Superman film and even Ironman.
So anyway it got me wondering, now that the superhero genre has been kinda done and its starting to get a bit genericy, i started to think which was the better paradigm of superheroes.
So in this thread, you can discuss which paradigm you like better and give reasons. Who is your favourite superhero as well as discuss the lastest incarnation of the heroes on the silver screen.
Ill go first.
Although i think Superman is the most ridiculous Superhero of all time I prefer the DC paradigm over the Marvel Paradigm. This is because i like DC ethos of superheroes being larger then life. Also Marvel have this tendency of using too much pseudo science in there comics/films which greatly annoys me. The way DC superheroes take down supervillains makes sense and you believe it could work.
Ironically my favourite superheroes is the Silver Surfer, cause i can identify with him quite alot. Doesnt quite belong, mysterious, loner. Sounds like me.
As for film, well we all know the Dark Knight kinda destroyed all competition last year.
Anyway thats a brief summary. Your turn.
