One thing that I am getting tired off is that the media continue to push this idea of good and dandy Superman into our throats, when the real Superman, the ones from the comics, never was like that since the fucking beginning, they always use the idealise Superman as a counterpoint to movies that they don't like for example, Man of Steel and Batman VS Superman, never the less, they should have known the source material, Superman inst the pinnacle of morality, he had done very questionable things during all his history and had killed many villains.

But of course, that part they want to conveniently put aside because it don't fit their image of the perfect and moral Superhero, and they seems to ignore to a extreme that Superman have evolved to much since then, now he isn't a god that watch us from adobe, but a common beings like us, capable of being corruptible, and most fans love that part of him, explaining the continue success of Injustice God Among Us comics.

But instead of accepting Superman as a whole, they continue to push this false image of him, because accepting his flaws it would break their nice childhood fantasy of Superman that they have in their mind as incorruptible force and watcher of wrong doings, if they want that so badly maybe they should create a Ministry of Truth to watch all over them and their misdeeds.

Superman always was tied to the U. S. exceptionalism and nationalism, specially during the cold war, were the phrase: "True and Justice in the American Way" was born, that is a very funny phrase, knowing that the U. S. had their hands in overthrowing democracies in South America and Iran at the time, that is a very bullshit statement.

The point is that the idealise Superman show their still prevalent idea of the U. S. exceptionalism, the fantasy that the U. S. is moral and good by definition, that idea never existed in real life, knowing the U. S. history of conquering and overthrowing democracies around the world, the real U. S. like the real Superman is very flawed one, but at difference from Superman that still have some of his moral values still in place, the U. S. have been corrupted to the core and still desperately trying to cling to a image and an idea that is pure fantasy.

Never the less, the media continue to push, and push this false idea of the idealise Superman because they don't want to admit how deeply flawed and deeply rotten their own country is, sorry, but anyone else already had accepted Superman flaws, and even like them how they are, but it seems that the media runs by don't see no evil and no hear no evil.
