He does have a good point, Sup Forums.
Superman being raised in the city amoung minorities would be better. It's been too long that Superman's origin is him being raised on a racist farm.

you make this shitty Sup Forums bait thread every day

i think a lot of people in cities underestimate the number of rural kids who move to cities to seek opportunities they can't get back home. the reason the rural midwest is rapidly becoming a backwards wasteland is because everyone smart and talented leaves and the only people left there are desperate to preserve their way of life. this attitude of urban people becoming more insular in their way of life is only going to redouble the efforts of rural conservatives who don't want their children to disappear to the nearest urban center and never talk to them again.

But been raised in a farm is one of the main aspects of the character, his ship crashed somewhere in rural america so he was found by farmers and grew among them, im not even American but i like to think that Superman is the living embodiment of american values. Hard work, been a good person, etc.
You could even make the argument that he was sent to earth out of love, because his parents wanted him to live, and the Kents out of love raised him as one of their own.

>douchebaggy shitlibs who value nothing hate superman

No surprises here

We had this Sup Forums thread already.

Also people who live in flyover states are subhuman white trash. There is a reason why most of the Sup Forums userbase comes from there.

Nice try, Mark. But DC won't let you write Superman anymore. .

Oh, and you're still banned from the DC offices.

Mark Waid is practically in love with Superman

this is aside from the fact that tons of people who grow up in rural america are vehemently anti-racist, even though they've met very few minorities. shit, my dad is from a town of 500 and he had a conniption fit when trump was elected.

>Mark Waid
>hates superman

>Superman is the living embodiment of american values. Hard work, been a good person, etc.
In no way is that exclusive to being raised in a rural setting
People who live in cities do those things as well

He doesn't love superman. He acts like he owns the character.

Trump was born and raised in a city.

You also have plenty of violent racists in cities. I don't understand what Waid is going for. Living in a city doesn't magically make you open and tolerant.

Nah

>Oh, and you're still banned from the DC offices.

Wait, I missed that one, what happened?

His love for Superman is gone. He's too white and straight. Maybe if he was a gay black woman, he could love him again.

And every day it has hundreds of replies.

I don't see how this changes the character in any meaningful way. All this will do is piss off fans that buy the comics. There's nothing to gain from this but loss.

So do people not realize that living in shitty cities is what makes a lot of people racist?

People keep going on about the rural south but they had a shitload of poor white and black people living together and hating each other because of the close proximity and nature of human beings that in times of financial need they'll jump immieditly to us vs them.

he was.
but he wasn't?
like being an extremely rich person in a city and being a normal person in a city are two different things.

just like being an extremely rich person in the country is different from being a normal person in the country.

But then he won't be raised with American christian values that are the basis of his morality

...

>I don't understand what Waid is going for
He's clearly a very sheltered individual that never steps out of his neighborhood.

Yea waid is just being an idiot here
My only complaint about changing his origin from rural to city is he'll lose that whole innocence when he first goes to the big city
Otherwise it doesn't matter to me where he's raised as long as they do it well

Hey, come on now. Trash is for porn.

NEW DISCUSSION

what college football team did the Kents follow?

He shit-talked about DC editorial.

everyone take a look at this post.

The tumblrite is really, really close to getting it, but they're still so far away.

It is getting REALLY hard to keep being a fan of Mark Waid.

What university is closest to Smallville in Kansas?

Auburn

cities usually vote resoundingly blue in elections, which people think is a sign of a higher rate of tolerance. this isn't really true, since there's tons of racial tension just like everywhere else. i think the unique positive of living in the city is learning that living around people of other races does little to impact your day-to-day life.

How old are you?

For their sake hopefully Kansas State and not Kansas

>Where he'll meet someone who isn't white
As someone who came from a very racially segregated community, which is what you find in cities.

White people's first meetings with Blacks and Mexicans are never really good speaking from experience.

Then again Superman being introduced to Mexican culture by stupid teenagers swinging at each other in lo los would be hilarious.

KU dude, pretty sure Clark wears a Jayhawks sweatshirt in Birthright

>Urbanites think rural People ain't got values and the only way to get values is to be raised in a place full of crime, drugs, hate, violence and weak willed whiners.

(((urban values)))

This. Do you really have nothing better to do?

all things that are in excess in rural communities, too. you just get the luxury of isolating yourself from it because everyone is so spread out.

>implying that indians that live in Kansas/Oklahoma aren't white
Fuck you, Waid. Leave a city sometime and find out what rural color looks like in that part of the country.

birthright is shit though and Waid clearly doesn't understand the character.

Yeah but what did he do to get banned?

>Clark wears a Jayhawks sweatshirt

i had a vague memory of this but assumed i had made it up

why doesn't Clark have a Flash Thompson, that's kinda weird. Not like a rival as a teen but a jock buddy to be a foil. probably cause we don't get superboy stories ever anymore. Smallville had that dude! he dated lana

Confirmed for never been to Sup Forums. Their is an unnaturally large population of posters from New Jersey.

be a pathetic waste of space that doesn't shut up about stupid shit nobody cares about

I fucking hate this man.

besides, pete ross was black

Didn't this thread get deleted yesterday?

Confirmed for Hillary supporter.

basically all the liberals left in those rural counties are huge hippies. i mean, iowa voted blue in 2012, for a black president. in 2016, hillary and bernie split the state 50/50 in the caucus, with most of the rural counties supporting the more liberal sanders. this is aside from the fact that shitloads of liberal kids leave rural america to go to school and then don't come back.

What such a thing would cause is Superman growing as the Old Nite Owl of the Minutemen. Optimist, but a realist at the end of the day.
