    Superman isn’t yeeting people into orbit, just meekly ‘paying his respects’ to Zelensky and the (potential) Azov battalion wanker behind him.

    They don't even have the decency to use real people, because... who would you even use? Joe Biden? Dan Crenshaw? George Soros? Queen Elizabeth? They're all too unpopular.

    Superheroes are all Americans universally recognize as "good" anymore.

      Reminds me of the quip some Iranian official made after the US assassinated a general of theirs a couple years back, Soleimani. Something along the lines of not knowing who they would kill that would have a similar effect, because all of America's heroes are fictional (or long dead)

        I mean, they could blow up the Twin Towers and kill a bunch of old rich white dudes. I bet that would have a similar impact.
