What if instead of landing in the burger heartland, Kal-El landed in the middle of the Soviet Union? What if instead of Ma and Pa Kent, the man of steel was raised by the other man of steel?In light of this thread >>>/leftypol/164364 I think it's time to storytime Superman Red Son. It's about 150 pages total, over 3 parts.

Since there's an adaptation coming, does anybody have thoughts on that? Are they likely to change anything in particular? IMO the strongest point of the comic is the art, and the animation is going to lose a lot of the character. Kind of like the adaptation of The Killing Joke.>>1291As soon as the epilogue started I knew where it was going and my eyes rolled out my damn head.>>1292Wondy was done extremely dirty but I maintain Batman was the most nonsensical and poorly conceived. Given the historical significance of anarchy and Batman's significance in the comics, it's pretty weak how little he's in the story.>>1294Hey I'm not gonna say you're wrong because you're not. That's a very real weakness of anarchy. Don't want to start some sectarian shit, but anarchists' flaws and MLs' flaws could be significantly offset if there was more co-operation and accounting for the differences in strategy.

This never happened in the book. The only mention of gulag in the comic was that red supes lobotomize people (which is hilarious considering how it was the Soviet Union that pioneered in banning the barbaric practice).
After her depowering incel ww becomes lib and hating all violence but somehow still fought supes when he defended the USSR against the mass produced green lanterns.

I think they find (or thought) that the brainwashed maid army was little enough to show the Eeevil of gommunism.

Which I really don’t get since why would Supes identity be hidden? Wouldn’t touting him as a farmer in a collective farm and the pinnacle of Soviet proletarian power like they did with Gagarin makes more sense?
They’re just doing it for arbitrary red scare bullshit to spook the Amerilard watching. Probably because Amerilards would support lobotomy just as they did in the States.

>Anarcho-kulak Batman.
I don’t think Batman in that comic has ever showed himself being anarchist or espoused any anarchist ideals. Most of his motivations is revenge alone and he acts like any other dime a dozen gusano “colour revolutionary” that liberals like the author love so much. He even get funded by imperialist Luthor, something true anarchists would never do. This incarnation is just as much of an insult towards anarchism as V from the Wachowsky movie.
Btw have you read the authority run by Millar, same idealist liberal shit where they crush the G7 corporations but only replacing the with more woke corporations.

There’s a difference between funded by imperialism and utilization of inter-imperialist conflicts for revolutionary purposes. Rojava is the latter and this is from a non-anarchist.

While overall the movie is not all that great, I think Superman's fight with Superior Man is much better, with Luthor's actions and his own 'patriotism' leading to his gruesome and depressing death. In the comics, his fight with Red Son causes the British to panic and launch a nuke at a city. So Superior Man does a Bizarro and sacrifices himself. While it makes him a sympathetic character, it takes away some of Red Son's legitimacy IMO, which is eh the movie does this scene better.

It’s a problem with modern, early-2000 writers like Millar. They’re big fans of the type of assholes with guns rather than supes so they’ll wank those guys to oblivion while nerfing people like Superman. Only Morrison do it right.

I don't like OP superman but yeah, him being depowered and normies with guns facing off is ridiculous, Invincible sorta proved that.
