Leaps of faith in platformers

leaps of faith are fine

leaps of faith that lie and wind up stealing a life from you are a crime against humanity

I really hate the whole "I won't kill anyone no matter what :^)" kind of character, even when faced with real life shit. It's such a naive fucking thing.

Even this guy?

poster boy definition of a superhero, like say Superman (who they're finally trying to change from being boring/OP, which is hard to do, but that's a different story).

If only I gained a penny every time someone repeated this hilarious misconception.

Cryptonite

wow

It's not like he can do literally anything else and makes all other Superheroes kinda pale in comparison.

*Kryptonite

And no, he can't. Martian Manhunter alone has more powers than Superman has, and he has constantly shown to be beaten by other heroes like Wonder Woman and the Flash. Hell, the Reverse Flash defeated him with a single punch when Wondy took more punishment and ended up beating the Reverse Flash. Superman is also way too hung up in protecting others that he sometimes ignores their need to help thinking that he can take the brunt of the attack, this had led him being humiliated by Darkseid, Brainiac, and Lobo both in his own series and in the JLA.

Recently in Rebirth he couldn't even beat a single octopus monster alone, he needed his son's help. AND then he couldn't beat the Eradicator alone, he had help from his son, from Lois in the Hellbat armor, and Krypto. AND now he barely survived fighting against Zod, Cyborg Supes, and Eradicator. If he was sooo powerful as you say, he would've already cleaned house, but he didn't. He left the fight blinded and beaten.

thats the thing that gets me all the time. people whine that hes overpowered but hes really not when you compare him to his contemporaries. wonder woman has faster combat speed and martial arts ability, martian manhunter has greater battle intelligence and more powers, shazam has pretty much everything superman had plus magic affinity (which superman is just as susceptible to as everyone else). and then we have his rogues gallery. darkseid, lobo, doomsday, zod. these are all characters that outclass him in raw power.

just because the guy has more power than a dude who eats a lot of eggs and fights crime as a bat doesnt make him overpowered.

so they basically have to find ways to make him WEAKER just to make him more interesting as a character

fucking amazing

wonder woman has faster combat speed and martial arts ability

which literally doesn't matter when superman could obliterate her with a single punch

wrong

the most recent canon versions of superman couldn't do that

which literally doesn't matter, because two overpowered characters does not make one less overpowered

except it literally does because you cant be overpowered when everyone else is relatively as powerful as you... overpowered within the context of power scaling is a comparative statement

which literally doesn't matter, because two overpowered characters does not make one less overpowered

except it literally does because you cant be overpowered when everyone else is relatively as powerful as you... overpowered withint the context of power scaling is a comparative statement

as for villains, it makes far more sense for villains to be OP anyway

ok

wrong

fucking right

that was the only entertaining scene of that JUSTice league movie, the scene where superman comes back to life, gets pissed, and starts curbstomping everyone, including wonder woman

because that's what superman does

the purpose of his character is to be uninteresting

>everyone else
>two characters

ok

Everyone should be on the same playing field guys. Everyone. No one can be more powerful than the next.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT'S BEING SAID

YEAH YOU GOT IT BUDDY

Chill, I was joking.

"i wrote a comic where superman loses in a fight against my shitty OC, therefore superman is balanced and interesting"



damn when did goku become so WEAK

neither wonder woman nor superman are being canonically represented in the dceu. nice try. same with flash.

>everyone else
>two characters

ok

characters that are equal to or greater than superman (high diff):

lobo
darkseid
the atom
bizarro
martian manhunter
shazam
doomsday
captain atom
dr fate
wonder woman
the flash (who can solo any non-omnipotent character)
firestorm
the spectre
most of the new gods

off the top of my head

if at any time superman actually DOES lose a fair fight, it's just poor writing and a vain attempt at curbing expectations

he's not supposed to lose a fair fight, he's superman

that's basically showing me a picture of superman getting knocked out by donald duck's dick, it doesn't mean anything

video games

Marvel's been obsessed with making their own Superman for decades, and it never really worked out. So they just recolored him and started using him directly.

Also since he was mentioned let's take a moment to remember what a dumb, shitty villain Doomsday is.

Okay, cool

Now apply it to mainstream where the convoluted and usually poorly written comics (and I mean comics as a whole) actually apply

or let Marvel get their hands on it so they can actually do something decent with the character. But we all know they wouldn't let Marvel touch their face.

i feel like you only read a limited number of superman comics

few people have to the patience to wade through oceans of shit to find a somewhat okay story

comics are a worse medium than anime

Anyway, about pet peeves I think are unnecessary boss fights to game that clearly progress in a more narrative way. Most of the time these bosses end up being just a tad bit stronger than your standard mook, so not really much of a challenge.

great ones like The Killing Joke

Nothing involving the Joker has ever been "great".
