HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 окт 2022
- DC Comics finally admit an enormous mistake. Giving Tom Taylor the flagship Superman series and free reign to make any changes he wanted to Jon Kent. Superman: Son of Kal-El is cancelled after only 18 issues. The writing was on the wall for months. Sales tanked after Tom Taylor changed Jon Kent's sexuality to bisexual and only featured gay romance stories in the series. DC Comics are also relaunching Superman with Clark Kent and a new writer and revamping Action Comics starting with issue #1051. It wasn't all good news. DC Comics are putting one of the worst writers in all of comics on Action Comics. DC Comics finally admit mistake, cancel Superman: Son of Kal-El.

I’ll just say it… Leah Williams can finally have her first “self insert character” in Power Girl… for two rather obvious reasons…
😂
Who knows! If they share that much in common, she might be able to write a good story!
About the only good thing(s) about her!
Yes, I know what the "two obvious reasons" are! Hint: bewbs
Lol
The cancelled the series... but they not admiting anything. It will just be the same thing next year...
Sadly true.
Is there any Dc character they haven’t turned lgbtq yet 😂. That’s all they know how to do , forget next year Next month they’ll probably make darkseid non binary
Jim Lee, Tom Taylor, and Ben Abernathy are playing the bait-and-switch game to avoid getting fired. They will be doing all of the behind-the-scenes stuff they can to get Mr. Zaslav fired, instead of doing their jobs.
Anytime now we should be getting the "Jon's Superman run failed because of the toxic fanbase" excuse from Taylor and Co.
Plus, tom taylor's getting a mini-series continuing stories with Jon.
I’m so glad Clark is getting the Superman title back and is going back to the daily planet and metropolis, hoping for the book to be good
Superman being on Warworld was the only good option.. I expect him to spend a huge amount of time validating his gay son and his bad morals and lifestyle choices now that he is back.
Lex Luthor would own the Daily Planet in a truly 'grounded' Superman setting and Louise Lane being a real journalist will be smeared as crazy and treated as a criminal like Edward Snowden, Julin Assange and Alex Jones
@@jbbrolic Superfake
Almost nothing will be good when the same ppl who created that trash still work for the company. They haven't learned they're spiteful and angry they'll just double and triple down
@@bigboss4425 They know they suck in their so called jobs, they doesn't shut up about they hate their situation and how they get paid peanuts but they refuse to quit and walk away from those Democrat run shitholes like New York and Los Angeles.
I wish I understood DC. They went from having Tomasi and Jurgens working on Superman and family to then give it to Benis and then Taylor. We went from gold to shit inn extremely fast manner.
Another one of DiDios famous "bright ideas."
all thanks to didio
'Benis'!!!!!... that's funny, and true!
It was to spite Geoff Johns and his very successful Rebirth initiative
And also to replace Clark Kent and put Jon as THE Superman for the modern era!
Can Jon be fixed, yes. The bold move is to do it by de-aging him (better yet, making older Jon a clone of the younger) and bring back supersons with he and Damian.
My idea would be this older bi jon kent is from another universe and the main Continuity Jon is a straight 10 year old from rebirth. Send older Jon back to his universe along with Jay nakamora, so DC won’t get backlash. Then again, the backlash would be worth it cause it will bring back the old readers who left since bendis came along.
How about the real Jon comes from a gay/bi universe? Grandpa left him there by mistake. If found his own way home. And he’s the straightest of stuff guys. One page done.
Can? Yes. Will? No.
Agreed about making older Jon a clone or alternate universe version and ship him off to that alternate universe. Bring back kid Jon from Rebirth and keep him a kid. Don't do anything with any sort of sexuality with the character.
My idea was bi John is a clone, real Kid is still in stasis and is found by Batman who didn't want to tell Superman the truth until he was able to confirm Jon's status because it would mean his real son was missing and he knew how it felt when Damian died. He tells Superman the truth and brings him back.
Now change him back to being a kid.
And straight
Great idea!
DC says NO!
@@Wes_From_TC Same here! But too bad DC won't do it (De-age Jon)
Cancelling a Superman tilted book SHOULD be a huge embarrassment to DC. It SHOULD be a wake up call that one of their tent poles failed to hold up it's corner. Superman has been around longer than my grandparents, maybe you should look at why that is instead of becoming the editorial team that oversaw the complete collapse of his name value.
DC or Warner Brothers don’t even see Superman as “a tent pole” anymore. They see him more as a nuisance. Because they don’t want to write a character like Superman because the mere existence of such a character makes them feel self-conscious about their own poor lifestyle choices.
We want to see what superman represents. Truth and Justice. That´s all the ideology we need from him. we do not want gender ideology. We want heroes whom we can aspire for, that will inspire us to be BETTER, not to be simply diferent. The Woke wave has gone beyong all limits and I fear for the new generation.
They're not going to admit their mistake. If anything, they're going to admit OUR mistake.
We're at fault because we're bad people. Their only mistake was to not know before hand we were too awful to appreciate their flawless comic. The writing isn't bad, it's just too deep for us. The comic isn't boring, we're just bloodthirsty weirdos. The dialogue isn't awful, we're just such bumpkins we don't know how the better people speak. And most of all, we're terrible for wanting the characters we like and not wanting them to change so the writer can signal his virtue.
Until we learn to appreciate Taylor's greater than Shakespeare prose, they'll have to feed us "readable" trash.
We're stupid, toxic, racists, biggots who refuse to grow. That's what they think of us.
Media giants are slowly realizing that the majority straight audience has reached peak LGBT+. The massive failure of Bros shows how tired audiences have become with the constant parade of rainbow characters and storylines. Anyone could have told them that gay/bi Superman was going to fail.
Maybe we make them admit that the entire CHARACTER of Jon Kent was a mistake.
You know what is the most depressing thing about your comment is? That is the truth, plain and simple. DC has already done this repeatedly and will do so again...they just won't admit they have dropped the ball consistently and assume the responsibility for it.
@@4sakend1 Rinse and repeat. Because Failure + Failure = Success, right? Right?
Nothing pleases me more than seeing Tom Taylor’s smug face get owned. So is this an official cancellation or they just changing then name of the series and giving it a new #1?
The quote Thanos “this does put a smile on my face”
Wes said it'll be a six issue mini
He has that really creepy smile...
Cancellation. However, there is am upcoming six-issue miniseries which has him having a rematch against Ultraman of Earth-3 for torturing him and confining him for several year!
@@GHOSTRIDER373737 it’s not creepy, it’s just being smug
No matter how many times they keep on pandering to wrong type of people or person that don't give them any of their money nor read any of these horribly created comics, It's not gonna end well for them
Common sense. They don't have it.
Mistakes, on top of mistakes. They aged him up. They pandered to a fraction of the population with his sexuality, and thought that would sell to the majority.
In my opinion the fact that is gay
Isn't a problem, i mean he didn't start dating someone in the comics
The problem is making his own character trait
Bet DC is regretting that Tom Taylor exclusive contract now.
Why in the blue hell did DC think Tom Taylor was some kind of superstar writer. Last I remember he was writing that garbage Earth 2 book and a forgettable comic tie-in to Injustice (which IMO had a stupid, cliche story)
@@fattiger6957 The editing staff who agrees with his virtue signalling are the ones making the decisions. The executives like Jim Lee are too busy snorting coke and doing pet projects to care about the direction of the company.
DCeased is still good.
@@Wes_From_TC But is it good enough to be worth supporting Tom Taylor? I say no.
I really feel for the diehard DC fans. I’ve mostly been a Marvel fan, but I was coming around with rebirth. DC had a good thing going and crapped the bed. I really enjoyed Super Sons and suggested it to anyone I knew with kids interested in getting into comics. Tom Taylor is just getting the Tom King treatment. We know you broke our favorite toy, but we don’t want you to feel bad, so go over there and break the stuff we occasionally like to bring out. SMH
DC back issues 70s-90s are always there for us.
I'm a lifelong DC fan and I feel for the Marvel fans too. Remember when a healthy DC benefitted from a healthy Marvel and vice-versa? Yes, Pepperidge Farm remembers, but so do I.
@@ShadeDraws Amen, my brother, amen.
Marvel’s in the same boat
@@0nlinediariesXoX absolutely. I just had more hope for DC. I’ve given up marvel as a lost cause
Hopefully Tom Taylor learned: Never think you reinvented the wheel of your predecessors. Never think you don’t need the fan base to be successful.
I never understood the intended audience. Does DC and Tom Taylor actually think comic book customers are big into gay romance dramas?
I have a strong feeling he didn't. And he never will.
@@abbynormal8702 Yes! In their own deluded way!
He hasn't learned anything, because DC hasn't tried to teach him anything. DC relaunches everything every few months... Guess what an upcoming relaunch is? A new Jon Superman book written by who? You guessed it, Tom Taylor
Jon, a once beloved new character with huge upside to their future, is now radioactive. Brian Michael Bendis and Tom King have destroyed all the good work and promise created by Tomasi.
It's almost impressive. Being able to turn gold into shit.
Tom Taylor*
It's still the bitterest pill we Superman fans have had to swallow.
@@greendaleforever yeah, sorry about that, lol.
@@greendaleforever Tom King is trash, too.
So, let me get this straight. Aging up Jon Kent, changing his sexuality, having him constantly come out to everyone under the sun, not be heroic doesn't sell comics?? I'm astonished. All seriousness, I'm glad this was canceled. Better late than never. They will have to reboot his character to salvage him and have to take him in a different direction to get away what Tom did to him.
Changing his sexuality.... Was Jon prior Tom Taylor doing the writing going out on dates exclusively with girls? Was he being present as being ONLY heterosexual? In fact him being means he is attracted to both males and females, so how does anything change?
@@hellsonly8908 nobody wants to buy a comic of a dude going a date bro, we want action, can't get boom bubbles drinking coffee
@@jonahda0mega no one.... Cause absolutely no one is buyong this book??? Really??? What did you up every comic shop and asked them of anyone buys the comic and they all said no?
@@hellsonly8908 it doesn’t, honestly. The only time that Jon is depicted as being only interested in Girls is when he kissed Saturn Girl in Bendis’ Legion book ( and even that could only happen because Jon was aged) and in the Future State Justice Book, where it was implied that he and Yara Wonder Girl would be come a couple . That’s it. Jon being bisexual doesn’t invalidate any of that, especially Future state, since that’s nothing but a what if story to begin with.
People are acting like Jon has an established dating history that makes him being bisexual seem out of character. That’s just not the case. If Jon hadn’t been aged up, and if he wasn’t calling himself “ Superman”, then nobody would care if he was queer. And that’s the rock bottom truth of it.
@@jonahda0mega oh wait let me guess you are the only true consumer of comics right? Who are the "we"? Every comic book reader or the segment of
readers you part of?
They can fix it by having 17-year-old Bi Jon Kent go to the Ultraman universe right when 10-Year-old Jon Kent arrives and realize that he is not the Son of Clark and Lois Lane Kent in the main DC universe. But he is the Son of Ultraman and a Superwoman from the Antimatter Universe. Finally, they can make Antimatter Jon, AKA 17-year-old Bi Jon, a hero by having him save 10-year-old Jon before he is tortured by Ultraman and Superwoman.
The plot would be Ultraman erased his Son memories and sent him to Earth One to destroy it by being a Social Justice warrior. Jay Nakamura was also sent to Earth One to ensure 17-year-old Bi Jon fulfilled his mission. Now that the real 10-year-old Jon Kent is back on Earth One, Jay Nakamura finally reveals his true Evil intentions, and it's up to the real 10-year-old Jon Kent and Damien Waynes, the Super Sons, to Defeat him.
Can the Super Sons Stop the evil Jay Nakamura, AKA THE SOCIAL JUSTICE WARRIOR?
Actually there not a bad idea and I would be all for that
Tom Taylor said the comic was in the top 3 on Amazon every week it was released. I wouldn't be surprised if that accounts for less than 100 sales.
He deleted that tweet the same day. Wish I could've seen the backlash.
it's funny how tom taylor doesn't put that overactive imagination of his to work for his writing :D
@@garou12 🤣Truth
Maybe just the first issue.
It's a lie!
The first step to forgiveness is admitting you were wrong
F::: forgiveness
Which DC won't!
There are a lot of people out there who were massively wrong on a number of fronts these last three years. 98% of them will NEVER admit they were wrong. It isn’t in their make up.
So DC continues the trick of throwing in back up stories by writers we don’t want
Yep
Can we just deaged jon kent back and have super sons back my GOSH
Best case scenario
BRO
Bleeding Fool and Tom Taylor told me it was the most popular Comic series yet. Imagine my shock.
Bleeding Fool Tools
Bleeding Stool*
@@basementbrotherscollectibles That's a good one 😁
DC actually did something that makes sense?!?!?!?!
Sounds like they're getting scared of Daddy Discovery bringing the hammer down.
Birth Of Jon Kent was the best thing that happened to DC in the last 20 years. No one can deny this.
When DC first introduced Jon, I doubted it would be good. But Tomasi really changed my mind. Super Sons and Superman Rebirth was some of the best comic stories in a long time.
I'll give ya last 10. But 20? Come on now.
@@fattiger6957 Before Jon, I was 100% against Superman ever having children. The attempt in Superman Returns was so cheesy. Also didn't he once have a grown daughter from the future, or something? Dumb. Anyway, I used to firmly believe that the concept just couldn't work. Then Jurgens, Tomasi and Gleason surprised me with the Jon S. Kent knockout punch that changed mind... Well, that was of course until Bendis and Taylor got a hold of him and made him so cheesy and dumb.
@Will N Isn't Chris Kent actually Lor-Zod? Oh, and you obviously didn't read my entire reply. Which is cool, it is a bit long, I get it.
Yes, until Bendis got his grubby hands in him and aged him up!
Just saying…they could still fix this and make this “older” version a clone with the “real” Jon’s memories implanted etc, and then “find” the real Jon. >.>
Leftists get to keep their gay non-Jon, have him fade into obscurity while we get to keep the Jon we enjoy.
In the immortal words of Henry Jones Sr., "Let it go, Indiana. Let it go."
Great idea. That way would be impossible for DC to show Jon growing and eventually, developing his feelings and coming out as bisexual, after all this kind things don't happen to a person as he or she grows (sarcasm).
Well after Super Sons how could I not help myself? 🤣😅
It's very easy to write their way put of this.
Wes, you are 100% right about I have no plans on reading the Tom Taylor Jon Kent mini series.
If DC really wanted to admit their mistakes, they'd scrap everything post-Rebirth, fire all the writers, and hire people who actually give a shit about the classic characters.
Exactly. Actions more than words are needed to turn things around and RETCONS paired with FIRINGS and HIRINGS are the only things that will show me they want positive change.
They won't do that! That would mean admitting they made a mistake! Which they won't!
Best news I have heard for a very long time. Get rid of Tom Taylor for good.
Just when one would think DC may be steering in the right direction, they prove that they still don't know which way to go.
It's always about diversity.
If only there was a way to reset the DC Universe to 2012 or so?
2009
No
100%
Bro please keep going and making these videos no matter how bad it gets. These videos are the true silver lining of this terrible Dc era. With every continued failed project, change of character, , political narrative forced, comes another entertaining video.
It took DC 18 issues to realize that they backed the wrong horse? Wonder if this is a result of the Discovery merger?
Joshua Williamson on Superman.. how exciting. /S Joshua Williamson is a passably mediocre, competent, not completely awful usually writer. Which I guess in the context of 2022 DC comics makes him the one of the best they have.
He's the modern day Judd Winnick
Dark Crisis isn't going well.
We’ll now that this thing has finally died like we all knew that it would (except Tom Taylor). Just how will they fix job Kent? Making him a kid again is one way to go, but they should consider giving him his own superhero name, arc, and new attitude just to get away from Taylor’s trash!
Ah, Ultraman, the Boss of Bosses, will be the villain for Twinkyman. Too bad there will be no fatalities.
Tom Taylor: "you all can't do this to me! I made this character!! I drove up sales! Everybody loved my work! I demand a continuation of this character!!!"
Tom king: "first time?"
... You realize he's writing the new one too, right?
@@Mai57 the 6 issue mini series right? Yeah, that's why I said the "continuation of this character bit"
@@dionlackey798 Ah, seems I misunderstood your joke then. My mistake.
@@Mai57 it's fine. DC throw him a bone for the mini series just like how they did for tom king Batman and Catwoman.
I liked the electric blue Superman from the 90s nearly as much as I like the original (until the bue-red-split). Maybe giving Jon this powers will make him more interesting. Atlast I hope. He could have been a real cool Superboy.
You are definitely the most honest comic book RUclipsr. You cut right through the bullshit and tell it how it is.
Amen to that
Ending horrible mistakes to replace them with brand new slightly less horrible mistakes. 2023 off to a good start.
Maybe 2024 DC.
2024 DC? 😂Ok
@@jaylucien669 maybe they'll exist, maybe they won't
It's very 2022
At this point, WB Discovery should fire everyone at DC Comics. And then transform DC Comics into a trade reprint company that does their own Epic Collection volumes. Everything new DC Comics tries to do is completely messed up. And then, the rumor is that DC Comics will end Nightwing/Dick Grayson at the end of Dark Crisis.
The Action Comics move with Leah Williams seems like what Marvel did with Amazing Spider-man this year, giving Kelly Thompson some filler issues. All her issues were about Misty Knight and Colleen Wing being totally quirky slay queens with girl power. But Marvel got to say they had a woman writer on their flagship title. *groan*
Leah Williams is a joke
@@Wes_From_TC This whole clique of women writers is. You could put any of their names on any title they write and you couldn't tell the difference.
Marvel and DC has had females working on these comics since “the dark ages” the difference is the women back then knew what a hero was and didn’t despise men. The current crop of female writers in comics are not interested in equality, they want dominance…supremacism. I’m not threatened by them or think they’ll take over (bc they are talentless hacks), but they do want female > male every single time. Wish some actual normal and talented women would come back to comics and get the credit they deserve. The problem is these feminists will gatekeep them out of the industry.
@@basementbrotherscollectibles Agree. One of my all-time favorite stories was Angel becoming Archangel in X-factor. 11-year-old me thought it was the coolest f$%&ing thing I've ever read. It's still awesome. That was written by Louise Simonson. I'd have a hard time not putting her in my top 5 writers.
Could it possibly be a good time to be a Superman fan? Joshua WIlliamson hopping on Superman, Phillip Kennedy Johnson/Dan Jurgens on Action Comics, and yeah, I'm not a huge Leah Williams fan, but her most recent X-Terminators issue was a fun read and if she brought that same energy to a Power Girl story, I think it could be good.
Much like Superman, I remain optimistic
Let’s hope Leah falls off after three issues
If they want to admit they are wrong bring back Superboy and never mention him every being gay or bi ever again.
Yes I'd agree with that and give him a girlfriend.
They should just give him a girlfriend after he's run his course with the boyfriend..isnt that what being bi all about? Attraction to both sexes?
@@eddierascalhaskell4954 From my experince in fandom it seam when creators making someone BI is simply a steping stone to complety erase that they were ever into the opposite sex, like Poison Ivy had relationships with both Batman and Bruce that was not her just trying to manipulate them but eventual they erased that and never mention it ever again to make her a lesbian.
@@Underworlddream Yeah, I notice they do a lotta that too.
@@joesmith-do7fv Or just let him be a kid? Something he was denied by Bendis and Taylor
I guess we found Jon's kryptonite. Poor comic sales.
Who's gonna tell him that they simply relaunched the title as Adventures of Superman: Jonathan Kent?
But I thought its sales were amazing????
Selling like gangbusters!
So now John Kent will be wearing the electric blue Superman suit that Superman wore for a year back in the 1990's. That was a great year for Superman. Too bad John will be wearing that suit. A woman character named Strange Visitor wore the electric blue Superman suit during the Our World's At War storyline back in 2001 which was another great year for Superman comics. There is nothing great about any of Bendis/ Taylor's version of John Kent.
If I were in charge of DC, I'd consult with actual long time fans and have them choose a particular year, and then officially de-canonize EVERYTHING after that point.
It will take A lot to regain my trust.
You and me both.
100%
Tom Taylor should be locked into the else world universe. He is like SBP who is incredibly talented but when he shows up in the main universe he is a villain.
Not one lie was told in this video.
Making a superhero a pacifist does sound stupid in a SUPERHERO comic but thinking about it, it could maybe work to explore it. Like the reason Superman's son is a pacifist is because he didn't take his superpowers in consideration when he was young and accidentally killed someone. The guilt would leave him devastated that he vows to never fight lest he kill someone again.
And as the story goes on he finds it harder and harder to not use his fists because if he doesn't, innocent people will die and he finds he can't have that on his conscious either. You know, make something with this. Give us a story.
That would get in the way of the gay romance narrative.
@@jaylucien669 Yeah... the only stories they seem to wanna tell is how every Superhero is gay now and how much they love hanging out with their boyfriend. Because we all read Superhero comics on who dates who and not about the action and hero's doing heroic things, right? That would be silly.
But if that's the case, renounce your super hero powers then and be happy to be just a regular person.
@@joesmith-do7fv I would kind of hope of a "with great power comes great responsibility" message to come outta it but I doubt anyone in the comic industry cares about that message anymore.
He might as well have all his powers stripped away because if he's not gonna use them, why have it?
@@KirbyIsCute That's right Kristina, not one scene in 16 episodes of Superman: Son of Kal-El did I see Jon Kent punch anyone or anything!
Can they not get new writers? Whose the talent scout?
The poison story in Action Comics!
DC needs new leadership like yesterday
Yay! Now call gay superman a clone, have him depowered and ship him to San Francisco! Good riddance!
Guys, it's time to give up on DC. They don't care about their characters. Figure it out already.
I m so glad that boring book was cancelled.I read the all 15 issues and was one of most annoying books of my life.The pace is slow,there no action and Bendix was defeated with many convenient plot devices,This is not a super-hero book is a gay romance book.Phillip Kennedy Johnson is the only good writer of Superman in nowadays and I just hope that Superman main title becomes a Clark Kent book again.
Isn't there a 3rd super title called Adventures of Superman where Jon is lead and wearing electro-superman inspired costume?
Yes
I talk about that miniseries in the vid.
They are copying Marvel again, turning bad comics in miniseries. Basically pre cancelled to not say is cancelled.
Yep
why are sales not being used as a metric for which writers get hired and which book they get put on? there is zero business acumen in DC’s management tier. zero.
But wait according to Tom it was selling so well!!!😂😂😂😂
Technically it's a rebrand with clark back at the helm as the main Superman
Teen Titans Rebirth 2016 did something similar between the Percy run and the Adam Glass run. The only difference was that the book was an editorial afterthought and didn't have the same hacky writer. Though I will admit Thompson did his best given the circumstances
@jarrett Heath
The Adam Glass run was terrible.
It tried way too hard to be like the awful live action show.
@@naquingreen1603 oh yeah Titans did premier during that run. But around season 2 titans got its promotion/tie in comics. Not to mention the Glass run was edgy if not mean spirited at times. Also Damian had a lot of golden boy parallels that just didn't work. Editorial wanted to set Damian up as a villain for 5G when Didio was still in charge. I don't care if her character was a raven & Starfire hybrid, pairing Damian x Djinn together was just weird. He was 13 for God's sake.
On that note Tom King got 15 pity comics after trolling the entire comics fanbase and pulling a rian Johnson over the BatCat wedding.
DC Komiks "Hey, guys what is the fastest way to loose more money with our komiks?" answer: make all heroes and villains kiss and make up.
In a truly 'grounded' setting with a Superman type of hero the Lex Luthor type of billionare bad guys are the ones who owns the media.
This.
Someone needs to write that story.
To be honest? That's the biggest reason why WB can't make a good Superman movie or Comic these days, and why companies like Amazon make so much money by dragging his image through the mud with grim gritty 'deconstructions' of him (see Homelander and Omniman). Deep down the people who write these characters, own these companies, and the rights. They know Superman would Hate and be openly outspoken against every bad idea and bad moral they stand for.
@@tommyfishhouse8050 Wokeness is not only the dystopian ESG technofascist bullshit of both Blackrock and the UN, it's being used as a copyright scam to hold those IPs away from public domain or their legit owners aka the original creators & their families or the companies who're the actual owners of the IPs.
Truth
Seriously, yes but I do have one question is it canceled and completely retconned not at all canon because I want to completely erased from existence of DC.
I am cynical yes but I want it completely gone on the continuity, I don’t care what people think.
It's just going to like musical chairs
Everyone will just move around and f**k something else up
Superman cancelled. Another D.C. book didn't make it to 20 issues. What a shock.
I wish they'd just start over again and go back to basics. Start at the beginning.
57th verse, same as the first. They steered the comic book industry straight into the iceberg, and, instead of admitting it and trying to save everyone, they're gonna ride it straight to the bottom.
They ruined John the moment they aged him.
Oh Happy Day!!! Oh Happy Day!!! When this garbage comic got canceled! This shit is gone forever!!!! Nothing of value is lost!!!
Hate Bendis for aging up Jonathan
Just make Jon stop being bi altogether I've met people that spent some time exploring their sexuality only to realize they were straight all along (Michael if you're reading this I TOLD YOU SO!) Also Get Max Landis to write Superman! And Greetings from Puerto Rico.
Will it validate your shaky worldview that all people are straight, to have this cartoon character stop dating his boyfriend?
@@Scipio488 of course not it was just a proposition after all, however if they decide to keep Jon as Gay then at least make him a Gay superhero like the Gladiator from Jupiter's Legacy Cómic.
@@kelvinsantiago7061 But if there's already a gay superhero like Gladiator... Why make another one? I really don't see what the problem was with how Jon's romantic life was written... beyond it *only* being a standard romantic b plot. While I certainly get that more people like to see drama, conflicts, and added stakes to romantic plot lines, making the normalcy of this one seem less compelling... and Jay definitely could have used more development... There isn't anything wrong with having Jon just be his usual adorkable self while in love, much like he was with Saturn Girl, and just let the relationship simply exist... Honestly, I often prefer that approach.
Added note: The only *real* emphasis on the relationship not being straight came from outside the story, largely in the form of randos being outraged as if something salacious was happening... The story itself treated Jon's relationship with Jay in little to no particularly special way, which, depending on what you *want* from media containing lgbtqia+ representation, can be seen as either "great", or "not good enough", but either way it's not really a *bad* thing that this relationship was rather unremarkable.
@@Mai57 I get what you mean but because they gave no special treatment to the romantic subplot it came out as bland in my opinion this is due to them just wanting to please people rather than actually wanting to write a good romantic subplot and by doing so they left many people wanting I hope they fix that with the new writer.
@@kelvinsantiago7061 Yeah. Like I said, I can understand finding the normalcy of their relationship to be less compelling. I enjoy things like this, because I get tired of all the, honestly contrived, ways writers can find to introduce added stakes and conflicts to what can and probably should just be perfectly functional relationships.
Then, on the "representation" side of things, it's just nice to see a non-straight relationship that *isn't* fighting for its life through problematic behaviors, orientation based drama, and ham-fisted messages or statements about how we *should* view these relationships as normal. Like, you brought up Gladiator, but, unless I'm remembering incorrectly, Gladiator isn't exactly the poster child for a normal, healthy, stable relationship. And again, I get it. People love to watch a train wreck, but when you have all of these ridiculous stigmas and negativity being thrown around at all things non-straight, especially in some comic "fan" forums... It's just nice to just see a bisexual dork and his boyfriend being supportive of each other, communicating clearly, and *not* dealing with any kind of forced relationship drama... yet... I don't have my doubts there's gonna be *some* way it gets added in, whether if it's in the remaining issues, or in the next iteration or whatever...
The Action Comics “revamp” has me nostalgic for Action Comics Weekly from the 80’s.
Bummed that PKJ didn’t get the main book, but at least he’s still on Supes.
Jurgens/Weeks i’ll read knowing this is what Jon should STILL BE. (instead of the path that Bendis set him on).
As for the Williams/Sauvage story…well, sometimes a writer can “get” a character, so i’ll reserve judgment until I read the story, but at least I know i’ll like the art.
"DC Comics finally admit mistake, cancel Superman: Son of Kal-El"
Uncle Owen: Just like they admit mistake by cancelling Tomasi Superman run.
And FYI: Teen Jon will still be around, with his adventures continue in the upcoming Adventures of Superman: Jon Kent
Tom Taylor should focus more on writing that arguing online, his book would maybe have run more than 18 issues.
Tom Taylor is one of the those writers I never saw the appeal of. I know people praise Injustice, but honestly, at least the first year of it wasn't all that great. Batman literally threatens to let Superman kill the president if the president doesn't make a bunch of political changes that he wants. And by he, I mean the author, not Batman. Also, they escalate further than the Regime does in the game, and that took place 5 years afterward.
See injustice was already a video game with a set universe. It would have had a list of cans and cannot do's with the ip. Any competent writer should have succeeded on that book.
I like DCeased a lot.
@@Wes_From_TC fair enough, I never read that series.
Okay. Just put Jon on the teen Titans now.Tomasi had an entire storyline about Jon wanting to be on the team during a crossover in his run
Nope, it WON'T happen!
@@matthewloh19 c’mon, man. Of course I know it won’t happen. DC isn’t that smart. I just want Jon to have SOME place to go after Dark Crisis. I don’t want him to end up like Connor… completely stuck in suspended Animation development wise
Tom Taylor needs to go back to the obscure depths of yaoi tumblr basement, writing his bad twilight fan-fictions shipping edward and jacob where he belongs.
DC admiting they made a mistake? Nahhh.... DC don't make mistakes not according to DC Comics. They'll admit we made a mistake not giving the book a chance.
We are also seeing Jon kent superboy fighting ultraman which could be interesting but I am worried about the execution but we shall see.
I gree

Hey, Wes. A little late to watch this but I wanted to give my thoughts on the announcement for this new Superman era.
1. The Cancelation of Superman: Son Of Kal-el. Good riddance. 18 issues and an annual and what does Tom Taylor have to show for it? A terrible run on a new character and a massive waste of potential.
2. The Adventures Of Superman: Jon Kent. Too little, too late. Jon fighting Ultraman should've been the story from DAY ONE! I'm not reading this book.
3. Superman relaunch. Unlike with Tom Taylor, I can give Joshua Williamson some leeway. He's has written some great books. Robin was great and the first 6 issues of Deathstroke Inc were pretty good. Then there's his run The Flash which was incredible. I think Dark Crisis has some form of editorial meddling and Josh not playing to his strengths. So, here's hoping he's on his A-game with Superman. Also, I personally would've gone with Xermanico or Dexter Soy as the artist.
4. Action Comics revamp. Honestly, I thought Action was fine as is (Main story and backup story). Why do we need an extra backup story, by Leah Williams no less? At least she's only on it for 3 issues.
Good start. Now they need to toss what was done to Jon Kent into the memory hole and retcon into non existence. Who the hell ever thought a cultural vandal like Tom Taylor could write anything.
There is no saving the bi-sexual Superman Jonathan Kent.
Finally. This disgusting, fetish book was cancelled.
What a disgrace. Jim Lee, you either save DC or just leave!
Jon Kent is testament that he is a big failure😂😂😂
Any guesses on how long it’ll take for DC to try this again?
As many time as it takes!
6 months
But it's the highest selling book in the history of the printing press! This is impossible.
DC is really trying too hard to get their fans back. But I am happy Clark is getting the Superman title back
Really? I don't think they're trying hard at all.
If they were serious about getting the fans back, they would realign everything back to where things were before all the woke junk took over and get rid of every woke lunatic that's currently infesting the company. Of course, that would only happen when DC... Or Warner Discovery says screw the ESG.
@@jaylucien669 LOL yeah your right
100%
Hallelujah! Nuff said.
👏 👏 👏
Canceling 1 failure won't stop DC drowning in the red.
My favorite phrases for this week are "Mindless Muppets" and " Ribbit and Rip It".
Wait a minute. Isn't this the comic TT always trots out to say comics are doing just fine? I thought the TPB's were number one, and sold so well every time they launched? Look, we're not dumb. We read comics when they were selling hundreds of thousands and when less than 100K was a failure that got canceled. All of these writers can blow smoke up our tails, but we know a failure when we see it because we've seen them for decades.
This is why American comics are dying. The big two have become netflix. What's the use of a new reader jumping on a series, when it's so poor that it can't even make it to 25 issues? Manga's seem to go on forever and in multiple volumes, with more content, for a better price. The big two seem to not realize they are digging themselves into a hole they won't be able to climb out of.
they let it drag on cause of the merger with discovery and they were doing everything to ruin brand before it was complete and now merger is done David is coming in and crushing things and fun fact he hasn't even started on DC Comics. he is focused on the Movies and TV and games etc.
when he turns his attention to the comics, shit will hit the fan.
Quick fix, get rid of Jon Kent completely and get back to developing Conor into an interesting standalone character.
3 stories in 1 comic? *groan* I don't even want/like 1 backup story
What's with all the cheesy head tilts in that picture? They just can't help themselves with the gay.
All the more reason to Cancel Tom Taylor from DC Comics, those destroying the Super Sons characters
Brian Micheal Bendis would have saved this book if he was writing since he did Ultimate Spider-Man (Peter Parker) back in the early 2000's.
But regardless of that however this is the first step of basically admitting that they made a mistake with Jon Kent and now they're owning up to it and they're hoping to try and restore what dignity that this book has left if any, who knows they might try to bring in Chris kent the true son of Superman.
Isn't Chris Lor-Zod?
@@jaylucien669 He is. Chris kent is the son of Zod, but he was adopted by Superman and lois as the two raised him as their son which he even said that Superman was more of a father to him than zod.
