    This is peak absurdity. You have a being from another planet, the being is sent from another planet because his planet was about to explode. In a last ditch attempt he was sent to earth by his parents. It surely sounds like a person who could be identified as an immigrant, illegal alien or asylum seeker.

    Did Covid make dumb people even dumber? Ignorance certainly is bliss…

      Funny thing is I’ve been calling Superman an illegal immigrant for decades. All of the sudden it’s not a joke anymore. It’s a friggin comic book hero for crying out loud.

      These people want to be evil but hate being told that they’re evil, so anything with an anti-evil message must be “woke”.

      No, they were always that dumb. They probably just projected themselves onto Superman because he’s a strong white man and clearly strong white people cannot be illegal immigrants because that breaks their pathetic little power trip fantasy.

        This is specifically comments by Dean Cain, a man who once played Superman, but didn’t seem to actually pay attention to any of the scripts, because he became a right wing grifter.

          His weirdly horny Superman refused to put on the costume because he thought he was above it.

          Then he stopped being a hero because he didn’t want to help people.

            I think you’re confusing Smallville and Lois & Clark.

            Two different shows. Smallville was the one with Clark as a “teen” and never showed the costume. It launched the career of Alison Mack, of NXIVM sex cult fame.

            Dean Cain was in Lois & Clark, and wore the costume throughout the show. But he also took a hard right turn afterward while trying to stay relevant.

      I dont know how legit was the research methodology, but I did read a paper somewhere that even asymptomatic covid decreased peoples QI for a measurable ammount.
