This board has a raging hateboner for Man of steel, that much is obvious.

However, when I go to other sites, they will usually defend the movie by saying it was "closer to the original comics" in tone and "haters just don't understand how deep it is". Apparently in the 40s-50s, Superman was dark and gritty like Batman, before turning all campy in the 60s-70s and climaxing with the Donner movies.

I'm not a comic-reader, so can anyone verify this?

That's horse shit. In the 40s and 50s supes was no more gritty than he is now and saw the usual kiddieification you got from the comics code everyone else got once that hit full swing in the later fifties. It's just normies makng shit up to defend a bad movie

They're only right in the broadest and vaguest of strokes.

Yes, Golden Age Superman was a much "serious, dark and gritty" character in comparison to his Silver Age and Donner versions, which tend to be the versions that people are most familiar with.

BUT, MoS' Superman portrayal is nothing like Golden Age Superman anyways, in tone or style. Golden Age Superman fought for worker's rights, beating up corrupt businessmen and racketeers. He was The People's hero, a working man's savior. His powers weren't godlike. He could jump high, run fast, hit strong, but he wasn't a towering mythical jesus-figure.

MoS is pretty much the polar opposite of this. They spend most of the movie focusing on the godlike elements with the nonstop jesus allegories and the leveling buildings with his powers.

>Critics have praised its comedy as well as the empowering portrayal of Squirrel Girl.

>Reception
>Issue #1 was published on January 7, 2015 to positive reviews. The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl was praised for its comedy, and the character of Squirrel Girl was seen as empowering for being likable, smart, and having an average appearance unlike that of typical superheroes.[6][7] The Guardian in particular applauded the cartoon-like artwork by Erica Henderson as unique in Marvel's publications.[8] IGN regarded the series as "one of the best new debuts of recent memory".[6] Reviews of issue #2 were positive, with PopMatters calling it a "breath of fresh air: funny, charming, quirky, strong, brave, unbeatable".[2]

Flash actually is a superhero who feels a compulsion to save everybody he possibly can within his own city.

Jessica Jones' attitude is "The Avengers will take care of it." as far as actual hero work goes. The only reason she even bothers with Kilgrave is "unfinished business".
