Actually burgers were invented in Germany. They're named after Hamburg. But yes I get your point.MoriartyCylon said:
OT: I started reading the comments on that story and ended spending like half an hour there. All the hate and counter-hate is sort of mesmerising.
Yeah, I dislike that too. I presume it was originally to give an emphasis on certain words but it's morphed into random bolding that can make it hard to follow the speech occasionally.Jumplion said:
Okay after re reading what I wrote, I want to clarify. I don't think your article was stupid, but the original story was stupid. Or at least poorly executed. Captain America during Civil War was fantastic. I found his turn against the administration at the time rather well plotted and thought out. This Superman story however seems like it would have more of an impact if it was part of a larger story. As it is, it seems either a quick jab or a writers long standing issue with the character. I would have no problem if this was part of a larger story. Perhaps one in which Superman was experiencing a major pushback from the government on his citizenship, or one in which the government attempted to hijack him to push issues on the public or attempt to use him as a weapon in a war. Your story was well written except for the Fox News part. Really not needed to me.Logan Westbrook said:
Please do us all a favor and stop being silly. You obviously have no clue what you are talking about and really should just not say anything.Straying Bullet said:
National pride and group identification can be both VERY good and VERY bad. The idea that supporting the ideals of this country and being proud of our accomplishments is somehow denigrating to the rest of the world is nonsense. To assume that people who display/believe in national pride are not capable/willing to embrace other cultures is nonsense.
I loved that in a recent issue of Superman, Supes berates a couple of aliens who fled to Earth from their doomed planet. Hypocritical much?Orange Monkey said:

Oh...wait...
I can see both sides here.
On one hand, Superman's line about "The American Way" not being enough anymore can be taken very badly.
On the other hand, he isn't technically from the U.S. in the first place.
However, I have to agree with the "hate crowd" on this one. I'm not going to start calling anyone unAmerican, but Superman has been an American comic book staple for quite a few decades, and that was his "main thing" for the longest time.
And that line about "The American Way" was pretty bad writing in my opinion. To say that your character's "catch phrase" for his entire existence doesn't cut it anymore? Bad idea DC.

Batman, the true American patriot... globe-trotting across the world setting up an international network of heroes...OutrageousEmu said:
I don't think I've ever seen Batman do anything remotely 'FOR MY COUNTRY!'
Dear god seriously? The man is the poster child for Earth as a haven for aliens --_-- considering his teammates are usually Martians, Thanagarians, Kryptonians and Whatever the hell people from Apokalips are called.GiantRaven said:
