Re: Superman renounces US citizenship
 

Oh great, Superman is a commie now.

Re: Superman renounces US citizenship
 

I thought he was an illegal alien anyway?

Re: Superman renounces US citizenship
 

I never liked DC comics, anyway.

Re: Superman renounces US citizenship
 

And on a related note, if Supe dons a UN baby blue unitard, he will match a certain Zero Halli and will become fairly ineffectual. Coinkydink? I think not. ;)
DC selling out to PC instead of taking on any issues, perhaps? I may need to read the issue to see what the context says, but I would guess it is more "Kumbayah singing World Police" PC. It has become an evil thing to be steadfastly American. Or an unabashedly proud American. Even for Kal-El. Sad, really.

Re: Superman renounces US citizenship
 

I want to see his birth certificate.

Re: Superman renounces US citizenship
 

He can go home if he doesn't like it here too.

And, who the hell is still reading comic books?

Hasn't that breed of moron died off yet?

Re: Superman renounces US citizenship
 

Most of them are all now producing major motion pictures, making millions

Fixed that for you... ;)

Re: Superman renounces US citizenship
 

No, I'm not dead yet. :rolleyes: And fyi, we have a member here who used to be a very important production member of one of the larger comic book companies.

Comic books, or graphic novels, have far more interesting storylines than anything on tv today.

Since all(well most) of these superhero movies have made so much money, I guess you would have to consider those that went to see them morons too, huh?



As for StuperMan, so eat Krytonite!

Re: Superman renounces US citizenship
 

I moron'd myself to all the Batman, Spiderman, Superman, and Ironman movies. The Hulk, too. I loved that show when I was a kid, I was truly sad when Bill Bixby died.
I'm looking forward to Thor, too. I hope it doesn't suck. :D

Re: Superman renounces US citizenship
 

I saw the previews and it looks frickin' cool!

Re: Superman renounces US citizenship
 

Well, I knew as soon as I posted that it was going to piss someone off - but then again I studied literature in college and still read a lot of books and none of them have cartoons in them. ;s

Don't worry, I have become a cigar snob too since joining CA.

As for the movie industry, I'd say they know their target audience pretty well (it just isn't me anymore).

Re: Superman renounces US citizenship
 

I'll give you Ironman but only because Gwenyth Paltrow was in it :D

Re: Superman renounces US citizenship
 

I don't read comic books anymore (maybe 30 years ago?), Rick. It's only been a few years ago that I learned of "graphic novels". I don't read them, but I looked into them, and they are infinately cool. They have a huge following of adults, because they're full of real content, both story-wise and art-wise. While it may not be my bag, I can sure understand why someone else would like them.
If you picked up cigar snobbery here, you definately missed something along the way. If there's one thing that's heard more than any other, it's "smoke what you like, like what you smoke". It's a simple respect for people's pursuit of happiness.
I don't think you pissed anyone off at all. If anything, your comment may have disappointed a few, but that's just my guess.
Smoke what you like, my brother. :tu

Re: Superman renounces US citizenship
 

So because you studied literature(ooooooh), you can call people morons for liking comic books. I see.

And if you are you calling me a cigar snob, you can f yourself. :tu

Re: Superman renounces US citizenship
 

Don't get you panties in a bunch, I was calling myself a snob. I'm also an asshole too (admitting it is half the battle).

But I will never consider anything that needs pencil drawings to tell the story a novel.

Still there is an audience for everything, how else could professional wrestling still be making millions?

Re: Superman renounces US citizenship
 

I think Superman and the Ultimate Warrior have been brought back from the dead the same number of times.

Re: Superman renounces US citizenship
 

You are funny. Your communications style indicates that you either did not pay attention to your studies or failed to absorb lessons from your readings.

You may wish to investigate the influence on culture and modern literature that is the legacy of the comic book, graphic novel, etc. Whoever granted you your degree was remiss in this area.

I'm headed back to reading about quantum mechanics and m-theory. The book has pictures and diagrams, so I must be a moron for reading that tripe.

Re: Superman renounces US citizenship
 

Only if your text book has pictures of the Green Lantern in it :tg

Re: Superman renounces US citizenship
 

It isn't a textbook, it is a novel and while it mentions superman and has a drawing of a car that could be Speed Racer, it doesn't have The Green Lantern. Sorry to disappoint.

Re: Superman renounces US citizenship
 

As long as this didn't take place within the Star Wars universe, it doesn't bother me!http://www.smileyhut.com/fighting/starwars.gif

BTW: I am dyslexic and struggled through elementary school. Marvel and DC comics helped me discover the enjoyment of reading. I am the only person in my family to graduate from college. I now work in higher education.

Re: Superman renounces US citizenship
 

Barney Rubble....what an actor. :)

Re: Superman renounces US citizenship
 

I was an English Lit major in school and we studied graphic novels in some of my courses.





As far as the Superman issue goes, it's not as big an issue as everyone's making it out to be. He renounced his citizenship to stop Iran from declaring war on the US. I'm willing to bet Clark Kent didn't renounce his citizenship.
I know that we all grew up with Superman fighting for truth, justice, and the AMERICAN WAY, but he's a global icon and those of us morons who still read comics and graphic novels know that he saves the world (and the universe on occasion) many times over, not just the US.

Re: Superman renounces US citizenship
 

As long as Wonder Woman doesn't do anything silly......

It's a shame he's not taking on more projects these days. All the good parts go to hacks like DiCaprio and Penn. ;)

Nope, all the parts now are written for Ryan Reynolds or Bradley Cooper.

Ah. But he also makes a helluva cigar cutter. ;)

See Tom so elegantly reduced the entire discussion and argument into one simple post.
Once again sir you have left me speechless. You complete me.

Re: Superman renounces US citizenship
 

I thought Aquaboy was good too.

Re: Superman renounces US citizenship
 

It's INFANTRY BLUE.

Re: Superman renounces US citizenship
 

I remember when everyone in the world wanted to come to America and become the people they dreamed of being.

Re: Superman renounces US citizenship
 

You had me at "See", Mike. :)

Re: Superman renounces US citizenship
 

I'm tired of pretending I'm not special.

I am a comic book hero.

Re: Superman renounces US citizenship
 

"There's no need to fear, Underdog is here!"

Re: Superman renounces US citizenship
 

OMG! :r:r:r

Re: Superman renounces US citizenship
 

As a young boy. Sweet Polly Purebread. Oh yeah.

Re: Superman renounces US citizenship
 

Don't pretend.
Even before I met you, Vin, I knew you were special.
I'm fortunate to call you my friend.






Oh wait. You're a comic book hero?
What a fuggin' moron. :fu2

Re: Superman renounces US citizenship
 

"Simon sez 'Freeze', Underdog!"
