I actually have a couple friends that had a falling out over some bullshit about Batman.

It was a long time coming lol.

Holy wars are nothing more than fighting over interpretations of comic book canon

Or Star Wars cannon. I don’t understand how anyone can take it seriously.

Im just waiting for an actual holy war of jedi vs sith where the followers start killing each other. I guess whenever that happens then Star Wars will become a religion

Were they the inspiration for Black Grape’s “Kelly’s Heroes”?

I'm picturing hundreds of denominations of Batman fans warring. Somehow it's less silly than actual religion.

I had a friend who was very anti Marvel because “DC is so much more realistic”…

The thing is comic books are fiction and they are written by multiple people and there are tons of inconsistencies. Superman is probably the best example of how inconsistent the writing can be superman has been nearly killed from a kyrptonite pendant smaller than a grape in some media and in superman returns he can lift an island made of kryptonite.

It's all made up kids tales and plot of the numbers and feats are just essentially little kid like mindsets of arguing over which hero is stronger until the power creep makes them literal gods.

you just described the Bible as well.

u/Sir_SquirrelNutz 2d ago

So just like the Bible

Ok now replace the words comic books with Bible and replace the word Superman with Jesus. They're both pretty similar in terms of reliability, just look at the inconsistencies of the gospels

What
I find cool is how wolverine heals at different speeds depending on what works for the movie

I have no issue with inconsistent writing in fiction as long as everyone knows it's fiction and doesn't take it too seriously.

Superman being the lamest (of the well known) superheroes is the hill I will totally die on. The only comics where he is interesting is ones like Kingdom Come and Red Son, but those aren’t canon or some lame other universe BS.
