Superman comes from a position of absurd privilege wherein he can do whatever he wants without risk to himself, and can put on a pair of glasses to become anonymous afterwards.

Everyone else has occasionally consider a compromise between what they think is right and what is pragmatic or necessary.

Superman taught us to use the privilege we have to help those that don't.

My favorite scene in the MCU comes in Captain America - The Winter Soldier.

Hydra's toughest badass is holding a gun on an unarmed technician, telling him to set off a weapon.

The pencil necked nerd boy stands up to the killer.

"Sorry, Captain's orders."

That's the point of having heroes. They show us how we're supposed to behave.

It doesn't matter if you're doing it because you were inspired by Superman, Harriet Tubman, or Toto the dog.

I mean yeah, but even if people boast about it, they did something good. I don't think you absolutely have to idealise it.

If a Zionist kills a child in front of me while laughing, being good would be smashing their skull in with a brick.

Superman, now stop making questions.

Yeah sounds kind of problematic to do whatever you think is good "no matter what the world tells you".

Morality is born from a collective. Typical American superheroes with their shallow ideals.
