Really?

Post by Donny osmond »

I realise a 44 year old man shouldn't be posting things like this, but I need you to settle an argument between me and my daughter.

Who is a better super hero, Superman or Captain Marvel?

It was so much easier to blame Them. It was bleakly depressing to think They were Us. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

Adam West Batman, obviously.

EDIT: Failing that, any Batman that contains the dynamic duo of Kevin Conroy & Mark Hamill.

Better as in being a stronger or more capable superhero, or better as in a more interesting fictional character?

We, me and her, were talking about modern incarnations of super-folk. And we were talking about best as in most useful in the various modern versions of their films.

Both my girls loved Captain Marvel, the hero - they weren't too impressed with the film, and both were pretty disgusted at how badly used she was in Avengers Endgame.

We watched Justice League after getting thru all the avengers movies and they both loved Wonder Woman too but the discussion came up when it was only Superman who could deal with Steppenwolf.

I argued Superman was a better superhero than CM simply because he makes more of a difference in the film, but I hadnt realised just how many powers CM has. Was that character a copy of the Superman character?

I offer this opinion without being a comics reader, so do take it with a pinch of salt, but I'd agree with your girls - both are nigh invincible, can fly, destroy things at range, move very fast, but Superman has a massive weakness in kryptonite (and being kinda dull).
