    but well time after time First Bendis and Now Tom has turned him into like legit one of the Worst (if not THE worst ) Lagacy Character ever out there ooh boy

    They had the perfect way out if Jon Kent was really the real son of Injustice Superman or Ultra Man. And the real Superman could have began a journey to find his real son. He could have stayed a kid and everything but no...

    • @RyenFreaky
      @RyenFreaky 11 месяцев назад +3

      Agreed. From the very first story that Jon came back as an adult, I literally assumed that was where they were going with this. "This is so obvious, that's UltraMan's son and our Jon is still being held by UltraMan" lol. Then they showed that Jay Nakamura could become intangible, so I was like ok: he's obviously Earth-3 MartianBoy and he is telepathically nudging Jon to sincerely believe that he is our Jon. Boy was I wrong.

    This is how the series should have ran. Jon Kent goes to Earth 3 along with earth 2 justice league to defeat Ultraman. It goes wrong and the Crime Syndicate almost kill them and capture some. Jon relives some of the trauma with Ultraman but breaks free due to help from earth 2 society. The group also takes the time to potentially save people and other supermen if there are any. They fight with the Crime Syndicate but potentially get aid from Amanda Waller and her Justice League. A a giant war like battle takes place on Earth 3 with many of the Crime Syndicate being arrested by Amanda, Jon, and Earth 2 Justice League. Ultraman sees this and decides to drag out another fight into the multiverse. He also is secretly trying to kill and run to fight another day.
    Jon and Ultraman get into one last fight with Ultraman using the chance to trap Val and Lois in the Phantom Zone. Jon and Ultraman fight an epic battle wiith Jon finally overcoming his demons. He partially unlocks more from his Superman Blue form and takes out him and Ultraman. Jon sees the beaten badly Ultraman and smiles knowing he is no longer afraid of him. Then Ultraman gets up ready to try and kill Jon Kent cursing him telling him, "This will never be over. I will always come back for my Jon."
    They get into a struggle fight chock hold with Jon trying to get free. This is when Injustice Superman swoops in and kills Ultraman. This gives Jon a mix of emotions that he thought he could never feel. One his abuser is dead and he has some of the same morals as his father. The rule of never killing his opponents and trying to save them. He sees one monster dead and another monster who is wearing his dads exact face. Then Tom Taylor should have had Jon explore and learn about the story of Injustice. He would see what would happen if his dad did more. Jon would learn that being superman is not only about trying to lead by good example, but to not try and force your will on others. At the end of the day they are still people and are prone to breaking. Jon would learn that Injustice Superman would be the end result of who he will become if taken a dark path with "Why don't you do more".
    Jon would learn about just doing his part and nothing more. He would either be forces back to earth or sent home willingly. He would return home and hug his real prime earth fathter. He would tell him "Thank you for doing your part dad. I learned we just need to do enough. We need to do our part and get through the problems together. A tyrant will try to stand alone, while a hero will try to work with the people. Jon will learn lessons from both Ultraman and Injustice Superman about how to heal. To not let trauma and and succumbing to your inner demons ruin who you are. Jon would have become Injustice Superman if not for this story.

    Yeah my opinions on Tom Taylor's work have soured a lot recently since his Nightwing run faded into boring mediocrity and I stopped reading it, and his pretty terrible Jon Kent run. I read the first issue of his Titans book and it was meh, whatever. He relies way too much on fan service and preaching about politics these days instead of telling a good story. Funny thing is I used to really like Taylor's writing, comparing the first few DCeased miniseries to where we are now you can see a huge drop in quality.
    I also agree on that last part, Jon Kent was initially one of my favorite new additions to the Superman mythos, but ever since Bendis aged him up he has been as interesting as a plank of wood. The one time I actually found him interesting post-age up was Dark Crisis of all things, which actually kinda made him cool in spite of how badly it did everything else IMO.

  • @comicfan1324
    @comicfan1324 11 месяцев назад +4

    I’m all for the “Try to talk out the situation and only use violence as a last resort” method of superheroing, but a certain point the superhero has to realize that you can’t settle every issue with words.
    If this was Jon talking to Injustice Superman (year 1) I can understand him just trying to settle it with words. At that point superman was more of an antihero and the worst he had done was kill the Joker. But judging by the designs in this comic, this is clearly meant to take place during your 51 superman sent Zzazz to kill Alfred just because he hurt Superman’s feelings.
    At this point in the story, superman had to be defeated, not just told “Hey, you’re kind of being a dick.”
    Jon didn’t accomplish anything in this comic and unless it said the story created an alternate timeline in Injustice, this comic clearly must’ve had no effect on the Man of Steel since he never brings this up and continues to believe full heartedly that he’s doing what he has to.
    It really sucks because, even though I’m tired of the evil Superman trope, I love Injustice. And seeing as we’re probably not gonna be getting a third game anytime soon, following the death of Kevin Conroy, it’s sad that this mediocre comic could very possibly be the end of the Injustice series.

    Bringing in plot points like "6-Year-Long-Torture" is ridiculous when they refuse to acknowledge how easily Super-Strong villains can gore a ton of people without engaging in a battle first. Or that Professor Zoom could easily rape every woman on the planet without anyone even being aware that this happened.
    They really want to have their cake and eat it, when it comes to grimdark trash.

  • @knoober3756
    @knoober3756 11 месяцев назад +2

    The thing I’m amazed by is that editorial told him that he could kill off ultraman, and not beat the absolute shit out of Injustice Superman. I’m not one for saying violence is never the answer, but if Tom Taylor wants to make Jon holier than thou he should’ve had Injustice superman get millierocked by Jon. However as a new reader of Superman, Williamson’s run is fantastic!! AC I just bought for the backups tbh.

    I actually dig the hug because like Grant Morrison said Superman always solves problems without using violence, he loves everyone, hes hope to everyone. Jon did that, he brought hope to a hopeless Superman, hope that injustice supes will see his wrongs. Jon really is the son of Superman.

    • @TheRealComicBookGamer
      @TheRealComicBookGamer  11 месяцев назад +9

      Superman should absolutely try to solve problems without using violence but not at the expense of innocents. This situation involves a dictator that regularly has public executions and was about to execute Batman and Harley that same day but instead of trying to stop his reign of terror Jon gave him a hug and a speech and then acted like he really accomplished something. When Jon is teleporting away at the end he doesn't seem worried for the people at all, he thinks he's defeated this Superman but that's clearly not the case. Jon freed Batman and Harley but beyond that he didn't do anything when he really could've made an impact on that world. This doesn't feel like the son of Superman, this feels like a wannabe giving himself a pat on the back for doing nothing.

Also as for solving the teenage Jon Kent problem have him be from earth 3 and the real Jonathan Samuel Kent superboy is still his little 10 year old self and is still out there alone and needs to be saved and boom problem solved everybody wins but that's just my opinion.
