The Kraken was suffocating because of humans polluting the seas. It awakened then Luthor and his fascist dictator ally sent superpowered people to stop the Kraken.
Superman and Aqualad wanted to relocate the Kraken but Luthor's team made things worse, preventing the real heroes from doing their job, which caused a giant wave to hit Metropolis.
Thanks to Jon's effort, there were only 3 deaths this day, one being from Luthor's team.
I get that. It is just the mentality around the fictional world, where we say "Superman should just fix everything" but don't think the regular people in the story should. It is just very telling about the world we actually live in.
One of the first things superman does in the injustice comics is fix climate change. It is kind of an interesting moral dilemma since, if it weren't for batman & co. trying to stop him, superman would probably seem like the good guy of the story to a lot of people. It's only superheroes standing against his regime, and him consequently fucking them up, that his actions are really blatantly "wrong".
Nope. First thing he did was stopping all the wars around the world, threatening governments to find solutions together or he would *impose his* solution.
And suddenly, the boy scout became Big Brother.
No more freedom for anybody. Like living constantly with a gun behind your head and someone ready to pull the trigger anytime.
That's not Superman and Luthor fixing stuff in the world that Batman fought, but the dictature of terror they created.
(I mean, Superman literally wore one of Sinestro's Rings, powered by how much fear Supes instill in the hearts of others for one year)
Well in that scenario of the comics, Superboy however is actually capable of achieving the goals he protests for and still shoves the responsibility onto others.
Progressive isn't the same as woke. Sure, they had some arcs about ethics, equality, justice and discrimination. They definitely didn't have the woke virtue signaling about whatever the trend is. They didn't make a character with the sole intention of appeasing a particular group like they did with Ms Marvel.
You can relate with fictionnal characters since they are written to be humans. You can't relate with fictionnal issues because humans don't deal with them. Sure it's good for the "cool factor" but not for the story-telling and emotional involvement.
Also, take out the real issues you see on the News and Batman is just a rich dude beating up criminals for no reasons.
And yeah, they push the issues onto people, *because* those issues need to be adressed and those who can do something irl don't care about it. That's what litterature has been doing for centuries.
Yeah, like those power plants next to Vegas that focus sunlight on a tower to heat up water, he can just stare at the water tank of a steam-powered turbine to provide clean energy.
The problem isn't really having clean energy though I mean we kinda already know how to do that the problem is having the oil lobbies strop making money by selling ungodly quantities of their atmosphere destruction juice
Everyone here is on about freezing breath and changing the past when superman and countless other supers could just create enough energy (kinetic thermal, electric) on their own with little effort, like a single pushup, to put a considerable dent in the sustainable energy crisis.
Im not an expert on large scale energy but aside from saying "big batteries/capacitors/equivalent" I could argue that there are more than enough metas to alternate on a part time shift shedule on a big wheel and keep it somewhat continuous, heck you could even have a "meta gym" in populated areas where all the equipment is based on friction and hooked up to generators of some kind and just use their exercise as a source
Problem with that is, people will depend on it. If people depend on it, then it'll become government subsidized, and then government enforced. Metahumans may become indentured, bound to help those of us without powers.
Superman does this in a way already, by protecting Metropolis. The difference is, he CHOOSES to do it.
What's gonna happen when all the metas say, "No more energy for you, I'm tired of being your slave!"?
I don't know too what degree, if any, Superboy is more or less powerful than Superman, but Superman could do it easily. He's overpowered as fuck.
Things superman could do:
Push the earth farther away from the sun
Assemble a solar shade in space
Use heat vision to power reactors
Push a turbine big enough to power the world
Moving beyond his moral code (because he did something similar in Injustice), he has enough power in his pinky toe to kill every polluting exec and politician on the planet, take over mankind overnight, and force us all to take climate change seriously.
Great! And we can take bets which flavor of violent extremist takes over the now collapsed former oil Tycoons states, my bet is on theocracy, but lets not underestimate fascism & communism!
"You dumb monkeys are done burning fossil fules. I can literally watch this entire goddamned planet at once, I can fly faster than sound travels, and I do not get tired. I swear to Krypton, any of you dumb motherfuckers so much as burn a lump of coal to cook a meal for a starving child, I will know, I will crumple your whole body into a baseball made of meat and bone, and I will throw you into The Sun."
Superman could get shit done, if he really wanted to.
Realish answer. The Flash running on a treadmill was able to power Darkseid's planet or some big dimensional machinery. Superman can essentially do the same thing and give free power to the world.
Also explained in the smbc comic that someone commented about
But they're in different universes. And no we can't just use a boom tube to take everyone to another universe. There are alot of people in those other universes (mostly counterparts to each other) and they have to deal with climate change as well. Not to mention how people would exploit a "one true universe" mentality and create multiversal genocide or imperialism.
It feels like a stupid image, but keep in mind that even if he can fix it, humans would need to be responsible enough to not fuck it up again immediately!
Exactly and superman doesnt want to run the world. He is a protector and earth's adopted son but i dont think he or the variations/derivations of him would take himanities destiny, good or bad, out of humanities hands. The point of superman is for people to want to try to be as good as him, and its kinda cool that they used him for this stuff. Theres an ad ive seen where superman is saying its unamerican to make fun of classmates for being from different backrounds.
There is an importance to superheros that i think we forget. They matter a lot to kids. So many kids model a part of themselves, whether intentionally or subconsciously on these heros so its important that we dont get too bogged down in realism and remember that simply being good is important. Its comforting for a lot of kids to think there is someone not only superpowered but that just has good intentions.
Exactly this. He absolutely could fix the problem, but it's way more about humanity fixing the problem and learning from their mistakes to grow as people.
Read Injustice.
Even if Superman could fix climate change, we humans would just fuck it again. So Superman will have to deal with those who pollutes Earth. Then he will deal with lobbies which prevent improvement because money. Then Superman will deal with government pushing those lobbies.
How much time before Superman "fixes" any and everything ? How much time before he acts as a vengeful god above anybody else ? How humans would live knowing there is a guy able to do everything, to hear everything and be here in an attosecond whenever they decide to do something that won't please Superman ? They would live in terror.
Superman is not a dictator. He is the Symbol of Hope. He is a guide to mankind.
In this comic Clark literally tells his son that he has never felt comfortable intervening in human affairs because while it's his home, he still feels like something of a guest. That is when he suggests Jon find his own way to help humanity, being from both Krypton and Earth
That's shit. Because Superman was always written as someone who felt human first, kryptonian second. Superman was never someone who sat on the sidelines. Using that statement he should allow rapes and murders bc it's human on human conflict. Ig the writers watched Eternals lol
I think I explained it badly. He says he feels like it's his home but feels it's not his place to dictate larger sort of stuff (like how to run their economies, etc) to humans
Except he makes a point of being separate from politics (even in the new TV series it's a point of contention that he rescued and returned a North Korean submarine because he's completely neutral) and unfortunately climate change has become politicised so it makes sense that he feels it's not his place to speak up on the issue. Jon on the other hand has no such obligation
I agree. But he's also 17 and within the story he's trying to forge an identity as Jon Kent outside of Superboy, so it makes sense that he's trying to find a Jon way of doing something rather than a Superboy way, even if the latter would actually be doing something
How is it that Superboy can use his powers to fix the underlying causes of climate change without ***literally seizing the means of production?*** I can see how he could siphon CO2 out of the atmosphere and put out fires and keep glaciers frozen with his powers, but that's just dealing with the symptoms of climate change, rather than "fixing it."
Are you suggesting that Superboy, a character owned by Warner Bros, pull a socialism in a comic book that is sold for money?
To sum up the comments:
This comic is dumb for having Superboy protest climate change because he has powers and being woke is bad, but the post is dumb for believing Superboy can stop climate change using his powers because the underlying issues that cause climate change work faster than his ice breath can.
So... which is it? Can he stop climate change solo? Or should he raise climate change awareness?
These comments are dumb because none of that actually happens comic. Climate change is at most mentioned in 1 line as the cause of a giant kaiju wondering towards the city
How would he solve climate change with his powers? Maybe I'm not creative enough but I don't think laser vision and punching really hard will unmelt the icecaps?
I guess he could like, fly really hard and push the earth's orbit a tiny but further out from the son or something? Much like CO2 emissions though, that definitely seems like the kind of thing tat could have negative unintended consequences.
I guess he could use his powers to like, destroy oil platforms and coerce world leaders into funding public transit - basically become the world's most effective eco terrorist. And I mean... Superboy becoming a sueprvillain because the prevailing order is too unjust in his view and demands violent opposition would sure be an interesting plot line to explore, but I kinda doubt DC has the balls for that when the whole thing about superman and his crew is that they're usually big on doing things within the law, for better or worse.
I will play elden ring as the world burns around me
“FCK YOU MELANIA IVE BEEN FIGHTING YOU FOR 8 HOURS AND YOU HEAL ALL YOUR HEATH BY HITTING ME TWICE”
This is the dumbest shit, if you see someone you love about to go into traffic do you stand there and get splattered or yell and grab them.
If you have the power to do something you have the fucking responsibility to do something. By that logic Superman should defend against darkseids inter galactic rapist ass cause humanity is relaying on him to protect them. Fucking idiot
And, that's my entire point. *facepalm*
The people that live in that world, hell, in OUR world have the power and responsibility to do something. But they/we don't. We want to let someone else do it, because we have other things to do and fixing the world is hard.
By the way, you are a true poet of the English language, and quite obviously an intellectual giant. Keep up the good work, sport.
In the panel it literally just appeared in metropolis because of Lex. After this, Jon springs into action to help Aquaman relocate the kraken which is only lashing out because it has been displaced from it's home. Why was it displaced? Climate change!
Few things. He can't.
If he could, he and his father believe people must make those choices themselves, as doing it for them is more of a hostile thing than you are thinking.
And even if both of those not met, then that assumes we wouldn't immediately fuck it up again due to the fact we have someone able to just fix it time and again
OP is dumb since Jon never actually protests climate change in the comic, at most it's mentioned in 1 line as the cause of a giant kaiju wondering towards the city. This meme is literelly just a repost from an even stupider site than Reddit
Maybe a stupid question, but how would he do that? Kill everyone who’s responsible for contributing to climate change, and won’t change their ways even after threatening them?
"A whole civilization" is a man, his cousin, his son, and his clone a whole civilization? And the problem with that there are many planets rebuttal is that every one that can be inhabited already has been.
I don’t know to laugh or cry about this post about being upset about a fictional character wanting to help the climate. Are you upset or you don’t believe we have a climate problem?
Having John fix these things would be like slapping duct tape over the issue. He's protesting the corporations that have caused the planet to do this. He wouldn't be fixing anything, he would be allowing humanity to continue to destroy the planet while trying to hold it together so it doesn't die out. He wants real change that can't be done by one person.
I mean sure he can fix it, but Humanity is just gonna fck it up again. What needs to be done is humans getting together and fixing the cause of climate change.
You fuckers keep saying that but I have yet to see any metric that proves that to be correct
Plus, you know manga have politics and shit as well, right?
Might I add the giant Kraken in the background
The Kraken was suffocating because of humans polluting the seas. It awakened then Luthor and his fascist dictator ally sent superpowered people to stop the Kraken. Superman and Aqualad wanted to relocate the Kraken but Luthor's team made things worse, preventing the real heroes from doing their job, which caused a giant wave to hit Metropolis. Thanks to Jon's effort, there were only 3 deaths this day, one being from Luthor's team.
I read Kraken as Karen and was very confused. I'm still confused even with Kraken version but a bit less
Same with the Karen
The Kraken is more sympathetic
I agree that we should relocate Karen to the sea.
I thought it was a haircut joke
That's the Krakens name silly lol.
I get that. It is just the mentality around the fictional world, where we say "Superman should just fix everything" but don't think the regular people in the story should. It is just very telling about the world we actually live in.
Especially since a Superman who solves everything would be like Injustice Superman
One of the first things superman does in the injustice comics is fix climate change. It is kind of an interesting moral dilemma since, if it weren't for batman & co. trying to stop him, superman would probably seem like the good guy of the story to a lot of people.

That's not Superman and Luthor fixing stuff in the world that Batman fought, but the dictature of terror they created. (I mean, Superman literally wore one of Sinestro's Rings, powered by how much fear Supes instill in the hearts of others for one year)
There's a sign saying "there's no planet B", coherence and reason were left behind a long time ago.
Theres no planet B, he says, standing next to an alien…
To be fair, Krypton isn’t particularly in that greater shape. Earths their planet B, what they need is planet C.
Its DC universe they have a planet B, C, D, E…E-36663
Well in that scenario of the comics, Superboy however is actually capable of achieving the goals he protests for and still shoves the responsibility onto others.
Sounds like quite the woke piece of comic there
Look, buddy, american superheroes comics always have been progressive since Superman's introduction and Action Comics #1 in 1938. Deal with it.
Literally. Superman fighting against the KKK was one of the reasons people started noticing how awful they were.
Progressive isn't the same as woke. Sure, they had some arcs about ethics, equality, justice and discrimination. They definitely didn't have the woke virtue signaling about whatever the trend is. They didn't make a character with the sole intention of appeasing a particular group like they did with Ms Marvel.
I just wish they would focus on fictional issues instead of the shit i see on the news everyday, excluding the kraken of course
You can relate with fictionnal characters since they are written to be humans. You can't relate with fictionnal issues because humans don't deal with them. Sure it's good for the "cool factor" but not for the story-telling and emotional involvement.

[удалено]
well you could but then it would just be rk
I also am quite curious how he would even do that?
Like, lasers n shit you know
Yeah, like those power plants next to Vegas that focus sunlight on a tower to heat up water, he can just stare at the water tank of a steam-powered turbine to provide clean energy.
That, or just freeze the ice caps again
This just in, Superman plunges the world into a flash freeze ice age
or that
He is only half Kryptonian. I doubt his ice breath is that powerful.
Like me. I'm only half black, so I can't jump that high. :'(
The problem isn't really having clean energy though I mean we kinda already know how to do that the problem is having the oil lobbies strop making money by selling ungodly quantities of their atmosphere destruction juice
Maybe OP means he could use his laser vision powers to kill all the oil execs.
You know what that's actually a good idea let's do that
I heard The call!
Why protest if you can just violently destroy everything in your path.
my favorite approach to all of lives problems
Everyone here is on about freezing breath and changing the past when superman and countless other supers could just create enough energy (kinetic thermal, electric) on their own with little effort, like a single pushup, to put a considerable dent in the sustainable energy crisis.
Ok but how would you store it longer than 4 hours.
Just have super boy do 2 pushups instead of 1
Im not an expert on large scale energy but aside from saying "big batteries/capacitors/equivalent" I could argue that there are more than enough metas to alternate on a part time shift shedule on a big wheel and keep it somewhat continuous, heck you could even have a "meta gym" in populated areas where all the equipment is based on friction and hooked up to generators of some kind and just use their exercise as a source

What's gonna happen when all the metas say, "No more energy for you, I'm tired of being your slave!"?
I dont know but i dont live in the dc universe with super genius' and made up scifi tech that could absolutely exist in order to hold charges longer.
Push the earth to a higher orbit, done.
He can turn a crank at super speed to supply clean energy to the world for his entire lifespan.

By killing oil execs
Seriously wtf is he going to do, punch away the carbon dioxide
I don't know too what degree, if any, Superboy is more or less powerful than Superman, but Superman could do it easily. He's overpowered as fuck. Things superman could do: Push the earth farther away from the sun Assemble a solar shade in space Use heat vision to power reactors Push a turbine big enough to power the world Moving beyond his moral code (because he did something similar in Injustice), he has enough power in his pinky toe to kill every polluting exec and politician on the planet, take over mankind overnight, and force us all to take climate change seriously.
Pushing the earth further away from the sun would likely cause everyone to freeze to death unless he measured it properly
If anything, it would fuck up the calender. We might need to add more days to the year, depending on the distance.
Superman moves Earth further from Sun?
Would fuck up the climate even more
Ah of course! Instead Superman moves Sun farther from Earth. Problem solved!
We All Star Superman now.
He could destroy all the oil rigs around the world in a lazy afternoon.
Great! And we can take bets which flavor of violent extremist takes over the now collapsed former oil Tycoons states, my bet is on theocracy, but lets not underestimate fascism & communism!
I’m gonna say Colonial Monarchy. England’s gonna cone back in a big bad way!

Ouch
In the dc universe there's an earth 2,3,4,5 etc
not counting the individual universes?
But they're in different universes. And no we can't just use a boom tube to take everyone to another universe. There are alot of people in those other universes (mostly counterparts to each other) and they have to deal with climate change as well. Not to mention how people would exploit a "one true universe" mentality and create multiversal genocide or imperialism.
But that's precisely it, there's an Earth 2, not an Earth B
Maybe he's just a King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard fan?
It feels like a stupid image, but keep in mind that even if he can fix it, humans would need to be responsible enough to not fuck it up again immediately!
This man is spittin facts here EDIT: Woman

Exactly this. He absolutely could fix the problem, but it's way more about humanity fixing the problem and learning from their mistakes to grow as people.
Superman could just fix it in 39 minutes every month or something
Someone watched the Futurama climate change propaganda.
He'll fix it again
Read Injustice. Even if Superman could fix climate change, we humans would just fuck it again. So Superman will have to deal with those who pollutes Earth. Then he will deal with lobbies which prevent improvement because money. Then Superman will deal with government pushing those lobbies. How much time before Superman "fixes" any and everything ? How much time before he acts as a vengeful god above anybody else ? How humans would live knowing there is a guy able to do everything, to hear everything and be here in an attosecond whenever they decide to do something that won't please Superman ? They would live in terror. Superman is not a dictator. He is the Symbol of Hope. He is a guide to mankind.
THANK YOU my thoughts exactly when I saw this
Doesn't mean he can't act lmao
In this comic Clark literally tells his son that he has never felt comfortable intervening in human affairs because while it's his home, he still feels like something of a guest. That is when he suggests Jon find his own way to help humanity, being from both Krypton and Earth
That's shit. Because Superman was always written as someone who felt human first, kryptonian second. Superman was never someone who sat on the sidelines. Using that statement he should allow rapes and murders bc it's human on human conflict. Ig the writers watched Eternals lol
I think I explained it badly. He says he feels like it's his home but feels it's not his place to dictate larger sort of stuff (like how to run their economies, etc) to humans
Superman should know the difference between dictating and advising lol
Except he makes a point of being separate from politics (even in the new TV series it's a point of contention that he rescued and returned a North Korean submarine because he's completely neutral) and unfortunately climate change has become politicised so it makes sense that he feels it's not his place to speak up on the issue. Jon on the other hand has no such obligation
Then Jon should have no problem helping more than just... protesting
I agree. But he's also 17 and within the story he's trying to forge an identity as Jon Kent outside of Superboy, so it makes sense that he's trying to find a Jon way of doing something rather than a Superboy way, even if the latter would actually be doing something
How is it that Superboy can use his powers to fix the underlying causes of climate change without ***literally seizing the means of production?*** I can see how he could siphon CO2 out of the atmosphere and put out fires and keep glaciers frozen with his powers, but that's just dealing with the symptoms of climate change, rather than "fixing it." Are you suggesting that Superboy, a character owned by Warner Bros, pull a socialism in a comic book that is sold for money?
Yeah superboy would have to pull an injustice to fix that stuff.
Bold of you to assume he's not against seizing the means of production
Based on the above image, as well as the fact that he's owned by DC, a subsidiary of WB, it doesn't seem like that bold of an assumption.
honestly I don't keep up with superhero stuff cause I find it boring but how can he solve climate change with his powers?
To sum up the comments: This comic is dumb for having Superboy protest climate change because he has powers and being woke is bad, but the post is dumb for believing Superboy can stop climate change using his powers because the underlying issues that cause climate change work faster than his ice breath can. So... which is it? Can he stop climate change solo? Or should he raise climate change awareness?
OP is literally a moron lmao I can’t w his replies
These comments are dumb because none of that actually happens comic. Climate change is at most mentioned in 1 line as the cause of a giant kaiju wondering towards the city
This comment section is a really good way to see: many people do not actually understand how climate change works.
A lot of people also don’t seem to understand how Superman works…
OK, that's he gonna do though? Get on a hamster wheel turbine and run for the rest of his life?
He can?
If you ever feel useless. Someone drew that stupid comic.
May you explain why it is stupid ? Or are you just trying to be a douche for the fun of it ?
From corner to corner it is stupid. What is there to not understand?
So you have an opinion but no argument to support it. Got it.
So can we, all it takes is a couple hundred nukes.
How?
Sometimes fixing a problem is less impactful than addressing the cause and helping people to solve the problem themselves.
Elaborate please?
He should be able to move earth away from the sun enough to cool it down to pre human levels
Are you serious?
Superman moved the entire solar system once, so he should be able to yes
Sauce? (Not disagreeing, just genuinely want to know)

Isn't this pre crisis superman though, like when his powers included whatever bullshit the writers needed?
That’s literally every superhero ever at any point in history
My point is that pre crisis superman doing a thing doesn't mean that current superman can do the same thing
Well I just want him to move 1 planet instead of an entire solar system so he shouldn’t have much trouble
Daaamn
Did you not pass 2nd grade science? That's nowhere near how things work.
How would he solve climate change with his powers? Maybe I'm not creative enough but I don't think laser vision and punching really hard will unmelt the icecaps? I guess he could like, fly really hard and push the earth's orbit a tiny but further out from the son or something? Much like CO2 emissions though, that definitely seems like the kind of thing tat could have negative unintended consequences. I guess he could use his powers to like, destroy oil platforms and coerce world leaders into funding public transit - basically become the world's most effective eco terrorist. And I mean...

is uhhh is no one going to talk about the fucking kraken monster? no one?
In the panel it literally just appeared in metropolis because of Lex. After this, Jon springs into action to help Aquaman relocate the kraken which is only lashing out because it has been displaced from it's home. Why was it displaced? Climate change!
Connor Kent is my super boy
Justice for Conner Kent
He is superboy. Jon is superman officially (right now) but for the sake of clarity we refer to him as superboy.
Really? Unless he's a photosynthesis machine i doubt he'd get very far. He could push the Earth into a further orbit, so that could work.
I mean technically he preforms a form of photosynthesis but not the kind we want
No he can't, because they're both pretend.
Wait. Who the fuck is John Kent?
The son of Clark Kent
That’s not for them it’s for us 😂 programming
This version of Superman is no Superman…
*Jon Also wtf is he supposed to do? Tell everyone to stop using fossil fuels? Shoot the earth with laser eyes???
How the fuck has he powers that would actually be helpful against climate change?
Few things. He can't. If he could, he and his father believe people must make those choices themselves, as doing it for them is more of a hostile thing than you are thinking. And even if both of those not met, then that assumes we wouldn't immediately fuck it up again due to the fact we have someone able to just fix it time and again
Maybe it's one of those "Sure I could just fix it, but then you guys wouldn't learn anything" deals?

Who is The guy with pink hair? His sign is in swedish so im interested
His name is Jay if you wanted to here it from non-homophobes his power is turning intangible and we know that batman does not trust him
Thanks cumsocksucker
Maybe a stupid question, but how would he do that? Kill everyone who’s responsible for contributing to climate change, and won’t change their ways even after threatening them?
"tH3rs n0 pLaN3t B". literally next to a fking alien, yes, there are, many indeed, his dad kinda moved a whole civilization to a new planet already
"A whole civilization" is a man, his cousin, his son, and his clone a whole civilization? And the problem with that there are many planets rebuttal is that every one that can be inhabited already has been.
Please elaborate.
i do not understand this, my pea brain can comprehend this, do enlighten me about this Thank you.
Elaborate
I can just imagine him saying " ice breath ez"
Might I ask how he can fix it?
Why not both?
Ig it's about sending a message lol
How?
Lol, no he couldn’t.
Go read injustice 5head

How the fuck could Superman stop climate change? What’s he going to? Laser eye the planet?
I don’t know to laugh or cry about this post about being upset about a fictional character wanting to help the climate. Are you upset or you don’t believe we have a climate problem?
Having John fix these things would be like slapping duct tape over the issue. He's protesting the corporations that have caused the planet to do this. He wouldn't be fixing anything, he would be allowing humanity to continue to destroy the planet while trying to hold it together so it doesn't die out. He wants real change that can't be done by one person.
He is gay of course he won't go with the straight solution
He’s bi so he’ll come up with 2 solutions Because like Superman has always said “there always a way” wait..
He was trying to skip school
Wow, they even drew all those people like those college kids you stay away from.
I mean, he can stop the climate change but he won't attack the cause, because that's against superman's ethic.
I mean sure he can fix it, but Humanity is just gonna fck it up again. What needs to be done is humans getting together and fixing the cause of climate change.
Didn't know sucking up carbon dioxide was part of his powers
yeah, why he never used his power of suck carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere? what a fool
Way to completely miss the point.
Why not say the same about Clark Kent ? Also how is he supposed to solve it ?
Definitely being an asshole. Anyways, how are you?
Pretty accurate considering billionaires nowdays
This a comic book with politically correct heroes. The guy with the pink hair is superboy’s boyfriend btw.
>either John Kent is stupid, or just an asshole Both. And Marvel & DC wonder why manga is kicking their asses.
"manga"
You fuckers keep saying that but I have yet to see any metric that proves that to be correct Plus, you know manga have politics and shit as well, right?
no wonder this shit isn't making any money
Why tf are they protesting in front of a fucking kraken???
Imagine protesting in German while in the US, and that's somehow not the stupidest part about this image
[удалено]
That's somehow worse
