I dunno, you tell me.

You missed an opportunity for more bait, op. You could have spelled superheroes as superhero's.

Because power fantasies.

I don't even know. I just grew up with them so I figured I'll just keep following them to no end.

Why does anyone like fantasy, period? Idiot.

Escapism/power fantasy and there's something oddly comforting about big 2 status quo. Knowing a character will outlive me.

Mom throws big two comics down the basement stairs every three days with a can of dogfood and the bucket.

I'm just confused on how you can keep reading the same stories from different writers over and over. There's only so many times reading about a hero's origin is entertaining. Its like the Simpsons. I liked the show but at a certain point I just gave up on it

Eventually we get tired of reading and decide to shitpost about it instead. That's why this board exists.

>>80356975
Seriously? You read comics and you're judging someone who watches cartoons? Is this what we've been reduced to

I learned a lot of ethics from comic books.
One in particular, it was about Spiderman trying desperately to stop the villianous Carnage from killing people and being hopelessly outmatched yet continuing heroically on nevertheless, I took it to school to read during free time, a teacher took it from me, called me a bad person, and then told me she would destroy it (with a little smirk on her face).
I learned about the abuse of power, systematic corruption, socially acceptable theft, hypocrisy, the inherent denial of justice to the weak, pointless cruelty, and delusional self-righiousness all from that one comic.

And I usually like the artwork too.

Newsflash anon: nothing in fiction is original.

>>80356893
Well there's your problem anon, you don't know jack shit about superhero comics.

This. superheros speak to optimism, and if you don't see the value of optimism then you life is lessened.

Bravo, anon, you're stunning and brave

op here, this guy is not me btw.

Skin tight suits for me tbhfam

I feel like if they replaced Blue Marvel and America with better characters it'd be a much better book, but as it stands it's a pretty dull affair, at least in my opinion.

I do enjoy Rocafort's art, though.
