All true. He considers himself "knowledgeable" about "comics", but all he really knows is two publishers and one genre. What a casual.

I feel like a series about a shopkeeper and a customer that hate each other, and yet the customer continues to hang out with him for no reason, would be pretty entertaining.

every issue ends with a split page of the customer climbing into his car and the shop keep looking out the window with one shared bubble.

Thanks for proving my point, MM didn't get any powers after reaching them, he just keep the natural abilities every martian had.
Also Superman and MM personalities are completely different.

Nothing a anybody on cape comic does has a permanent impact.

There is when they override everything else, and are the measure by which entire characters are judged. Which has absolutely become the case. VS-fagging is cancer, and Dragon Ball only served to make it worse than it ever had been.

and that saddens me, because sure, Injustice superman is an interesting take on the character, a "what-if" alternate storyline. But it pales in comparison to the classic superman stories both animated and not animated.

>I love Jason Todd because unlike Batman he knows he needs to kill villains
>I hate Damian Wayne, why does Batman allow his son to run around killing people
