- Tom Taylor seems to be doing his best Benids tribute by continuing the grand tradition of a bald white guy ruining Jon Kent.

To all the writers who insist that Superman wouldn't feel connected to earth, Go write Supergirl! She was 17 at the time of Krypton's destruction. It makes way more sense for her to feel that attachment to Krypton.
Good point.
See this is when they need to bring Powergirl back and write her. She’s from a dead universe and suffers from being homesick. While not sure of her place in the universe. But no one has a brain to make moves like that in the comic world 🤧
I hate how most writers give more weigh to his alien heritage than his human upbringing.
Superman is more Clark than Kal-El. What is so hard to understand about that!?
This is especially annoying for me because I just read Superman Peace On Earth. A story where Superman actually tries to end world hunger and he ultimately fails because problems like hunger are a product of human nature.
It’s really sad how far Jon’s character has fallen. Bring back Tomasi DC
From one of the best characters of the past decade to one of the worst.
I doubt Tomasi will return.
@@MutantsInDisguise Probably not. I can only hope at this point
We've spent years during new 52 trying to make superman relatable and just when they actually succeeded in rebirth, they take away his family and we're back to square 1. Maybe these writers fail to make Superman relatable because they do not know what makes humans relatable.
Your last sentence is exactly the problem. Clark Kent is humble and appreciative of humanity. These writers don't get it.
If only Clark could just Omni-man this version of Jon
They're killing the spirit of all my favorite DC characters. Theres some good comics still, robin, blue and gold, but its not anything close to saving DC from itself. Rereading Tomasi superman, this doesnt even compare.
"There's an explanation, but again, that would mean you read Superman comics."
That pretty much explains 99% of the BIg Two comic writers nowadays. They don't know what they write because they don't read the comics or the research behind it.
I think the only way this story works out is if Jon learns that the idea of doing more in the level he wants is impossible even for Superman. The whole issue itself speaks to this idea that it’s not enough to lead by example and that the ripples created by heroes aren’t enough, they want tidal waves of change and to do the right thing because it’s right in the moment with no thought to those implications. That sort of story could work but I don’t think this will be that story,
You know it's going to be bad when Tom Taylor says he didn't want to write a white savior story. Anybody that truly gets why Clark Kent works knows that Clark is not trying to be God, but is trying simply to be a good man. A man that can use his physical ability to help his neighbors in times of great need like no other and to do so as humbly as he can.
Tom Taylor wrote Injustice, is it possible that we're going to get that kind of storyline with Kal El having to come back to Earth to take down his own son who has become mad with power?
@shut up Yeah, I do too now, after recent events. No way would they have Bi Superman as a villain.
@@KidCthulhu82 If they want to subvert expectations that would be a welcomed way to do it. SJW Superman learns from actual Superman why being an SJW almost always leads to fascistic behavior. Teach him a lesson about some evils being born out of noble intent.
"Dad, why don't you do more?"
THAT pissed me the fuck off.
He makes Jon such an entitled prick.
@@TheRealComicBookGamer it makes me not want to read Tom Taylor's future stuff. Maybe he peaked with Injustice...
Why? It was a valid question due to the situation
What's with Bald Toms these days that cause them to write themselves in our beloved ESTABLISHED characters? I don't spend $10 AUD on a comic to read about TomMan or TomWing, thanks for speaking up on this, not enough people are.
I used to love Tom Taylor, but it feels like he thinks he’s got enough clout to use his comics as mouthpieces for his political/social beliefs. News flash: they r comics, not Ted Talks.
Ok the first issue was pretty good but the second...WOW, talk about a fall from grace. Honestly, this book should be 'Spider-Man meets Superman' in a really relatable and light hearted way but now it's just Tom Taylor's political opinions as a book. Look, Tom Taylor is one of my favorite writers (he should totally be writing a Green Arrow book) and I've been really enjoying his Nightwing run so far but issue 2 might be his worst work by far. Also I completely agree that Action Comics might be one of the best ongoings along with Robin and Nightwing .
When he was teasing a new book (before it was announced that it was Nightwing) I was really hoping he would be on Green Arrow. I feel like his voice would work well with GA and if there's one DC character to be a political activist it's Ollie.
I'm glad I wasn't alone with this. The first issue rubbed me the wrong way, and the second had me BTFA (in a bad way).
Jon Kent becoming a supervillain in one storyline could work. Many people who become villains are often those whom we would never suspect. I am also kind of new to these two. Depending on how the writers use him, he could be an interesting character with this storyline. A storyline that good be as potentially good as injustice.
He could make a great villain but they would never do that.
@@TheRealComicBookGamer why not? I am somewhat new to dc comics. I plan on making graphic novels and novels. I am just learning an practicing for now.
@@CinemaKingTheaters Because the writer Tom Taylor is using Jon as a mouthpiece to preach his personal politics so there is no world in which he would make Jon the bad guy.
@@TheRealComicBookGamer how very sad
@@CinemaKingTheaters because he's the son of the goat It would be a huge flop with mediocre backstory
I totally agree, we need our Super Sons back TRCBG
Why does DC think we want to read whiney, entitled children? Is that because they're employing them now...
@Johnny Testinator It's Eddie Monsoon from Absolutely Fabulous, perhaps that shows my age haha but it was a very popular British sitcom in the 90's
That freeze frame was hilarious
That’s depressing because I think issue 1 and 2 were good but man oh man I miss Jonathan Samuel Kent super boy being his little 10 year old self
They called you a madman lol,
You were right
Oh boy this is just gonna be a mess.......
Why am I not surprised by this at all? DC is a mess right now, and imo Superman from Robert Venditti is way better.
I was waiting for you to speak on this. Great video.
I’ll be honest, none of this take vibes with me. I think this a very uncharitable view of the Clark Kent we get to see in this story. In my eyes, it’s one that deeply loves Earth but feels responsible for representing alien inhabitants on our planet. It’s one deeply concerned with his legacy and what goodness he’s left on Earth. Now he has a son that can carry on, perhaps in a better way. That moment on the roof/in space is incredibly touching. Clark is thrilled and supportive of seeing his son dream of a better world.
Ooooh. Social justice mouthpiece. Got it.
After reading this shite I'm actually reconsidering to reread Bendis' run. At least Superman feels like Superman in it, kinda, and he brings back Superman's silver age friends, that's nostalgia.
Tom Taylor is so hit-or-miss
Mostly miss imo
I loved DCeased and the start of his Nightwing run was great but everything else has been a miss for me as well.
@shut up When Taylor puts story first he generally does a good job. Things go south when he believes there is a message that needs to be made using the characters he's writing. With DCeased it's just a fun story about zombies, no pressure to make it culturally relevant. But when you're writing the in canon book for the son of Superman, that's the time to use that book as your social justice mouthpiece and forget about story entirely.
Jon Kent should be called Tinkerbell not Superman,his father is Superman & hopefully a new writer will retcon all the damage done by Taylor & Bendis & Jon will be restored to what he was pre Bendis & Clark's identity secret once again!!!
Again with the trope of ruining Legacy characters to set up their successors. Superman's alien origin is what helps him to see the world as one, and to love it as such. What is so hard to understand??
For the algorithm
I can’t remember the name of the superman comic where it was like 100 pages long or something and it was a one shot that you really liked. I remember you doing a video with another RUclipsr and you both said it was a great comic of the year but I can’t remember the name of it or remember the name of the video to go back and check.
That’s probably a horrible explanation for what I’m trying to find but hopefully it makes sense to someone
The book we were talking about was 'Man and Superman' by Marv Wolfman.
Thanks man I’m glad that made some sense and I’ll make sure I’ll pick it up soon. Great vid as always and it is sad how far Jonathan Kent has fallen I’m quite lucky so I only have the Peter tomasi rebirth with Jonathan Kent so I don’t have any others writers interpretations to ruin his amazing work on the character and on superman and the superman family as a whole. But yeah thanks again for telling me the name of the comic
I wish they'd lose all their money and just retcon everything after infinite crisis to please fans.
I still go by my theory that this Jon Kent isn’t are Jon Kent superboy but a imposter from earth 3 who’s clearly ultraman and superwoman kid.
The best Superman is the apolitical Superman. He is supposed to be beyond politics. DC has ruined the character.
How the mighty have fallen
This is the prequel to injustice. This is the Superman who becomes a tyrant lol
Are you going to cover Kennedy Johnson's Action and Superman Red and Blue? Heard nothing but good things for those.
Might do one on Action but I haven't touched Red and Blue because 95% of the writers on that book do not interest me at all.
I read Superman: Reign of Doomsday. Thqt was awesome. 👍
I'm not the biggest fan of that story but Kenneth Rocafort killed it on the art.
@@TheRealComicBookGamer What's your favorite Superman story?
@@sammiller5981 Superman Up, Up and Away.
Maybe he's written to be insufferable on purpose? What if they're setting up that when he aged up he was actually possessed by some evil new god or something.
Probably not lol
For Someone Who is Known for Writing Ultimate Spider-Man It's Kinda odd that Bendis would age up Jonathan like that
John should have the black in red logo
That'd be cool but instead of doing something interesting like that they gave him a pride flag cape...
What an ending
Superman to Lois: "Were have we gone wrong?"
Isn’t this version of Jon just straight up someone else? fake jons birth and the birth of the REAL Jon are different.
Friendly Reminder that the real JSK hasn’t been seen for more than 3 years.
Tom Taylor is a hack.
@shut up bro your name had me ready to debate an entire power scaling argument 🤣.
Real world problems can be handled well when they’re not being beaten over ones head. Or just social justice type stuff that idolizes one viewpoint only. When they’re blended well amongst other factors of the story. Something today’s writers seem to forget instantly. Plus for a character like Superman they’re rushing Clark out of the picture quick to replace him with Jon. It’s doesn’t even feel deserving tbh. Most writers have yet to understand the character of Clark Kent/Superman. Let alone throwing his son in there for no reason
@shut up pretty much and it pains me to see how they’re doing it. Doing this overtime with Clark raising him every step of the way would be a great story to tell
Uh oh.
The LGBT community is gonna come for you since they are turning John Gay. Because you can't critique a Gay character or you will be called a homophobe.
I love your channel bro. Great review. 👍
Only the twitter weirdos will go after him for speaking the truth.
As a bi sexual man myself I really don't care
Duck 'em!
I don’t understand these new writers and how they treat the heroes like absolute scumbags. WHO IS THIS FOR? Who reads this and goes finally someone calls Superman out for being an asshole?! Jon acts/talks like these writers do on twitter
I agree with you this book is a big old pile of crap i see this book lasting until issue 12 then relaunch with a new #1 like the marvel way lol
Yeah I could definitely see this book going for about 12 issues and then relaunching as "Superman" again with a new #1.
3:00
A dictatorship ≠ Fascism
You need to be dictorial and an ultra nationalist to be a fascist
Other than that great video
I disagree with your interpretation of the scene , sure i dont own the "correct reading" and you can take the written words on that direction. But for what the rest of the book is being consistent, is clear to me the scene is about activism not policing, you can have a connection to humanity and not being a vocal activist for seeing as not your right to influence the course of humanity. Is concistent with other depictions of clark, who inspires humanity to do the right thing but is up to us to fix the world, he "catch us when we fall". That conversation works metatextualy as Taylor saying where he is gonig to take the book, drawing paralels with real world problems, solving them more like Lois would. other writters have been vague about how much clark does when not in a inmediate emerency, so i apreciate this more descriptive take. And, like in nightwing, the conflicts are basicly real world problems but with scifi origins (sometimes). So he is being concistent. Ive been loving this series so far. "Faster than fate, as powerful as hope, able to lifts as all". Its quite lovely. Also, PKJ take on action comics is concistent with this clark, helping peolpe free themselfs, but now saying he hasnt dont enought and taking more drastics actions.
2:20 me if I had powers on that level lmao
That ending for the video was amazing😂
Você preveu o futuro,
Now the writer prick Destroyed everything for good
tom taylor is a batman fanboy who just hates superman and will just further harm the characters.
Just a comment for the algorithm :)
🙏
Lol you’re right. Superman is human. 😂 But hey idk, I’d give Tom Taylor a few issues.
Zod is laughing
The book is fantastic to me however this gentlemen is entitled to his opinion but he is nick-picking and his name meaning Superman is KAL-EL duh!!!!
Great video.
Thanks!
WTF IS THIS COMIC!?
It’s 2 issues in……
Water is wet....
What's going on?
Yes! I'm so glad someone is saying it! Not a good comic at all!
Jeepers!
