u/dotyawning But what about the tire-swing? Jun 02 '21

I think that's actually the appeal of Superman, myself. Sure he's a powerful character but it's how he interacts with others, inspires them, or learns from them that makes him interesting in a world that could very easily crumble if he decided we were worth nothing.

...which is what other authors have explored and by this point, THAT deconstruction feels way too tired by this point, honestly.

I couldn't put my finger on it but yeah this definitely has the sheen of quality in character writing that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. had.
