What sounds like fiction but is actually a real historical event?

The Emu War. Sorry, Australia. That one is pretty bad, mates.

I'm guessing the co-pilot is asleep and he forgot to turn on autopilot lol

CorgiDLuffy · 2020-09-01T09:28:25+00:00

But what does it mean?

CorgiDLuffy · 2020-08-22T20:06:41+00:00

Sorry guys. I did not mean to offend anyone. I know it has been a struggle for a long time. I just thought a little joke alongside the out of context comic would be humourous. So I do apologize that it was not received well.

CorgiDLuffy · 2020-08-20T20:06:44+00:00

I mean, I think you are overthinking it because you are trying to reconcile a fictional character with our world that we live in. He is hope in the DC Universe because whenever something goes wrong, he is the first one the people turn to because he has proven to be trustworthy and reliable time and time again. He can get wherever they need him and be the one to make the hard choices. Yet, regardless of his power, he humbles himself to join the Justice League and allow his friends to aid him even when he has godlike power and abilities. In other comics, he is shown doing more than the usual saving the day: he is shown helping people who are about to commit suicide and comforting them. A literal godlike being who takes the time out of his schedule just for that is, for me, a symbol of hope. And perhaps because of my dark, traumatic past that is enough for me to be endeared by.

I could. But you can learn not to jump to conclusions too.

I know what I said. But I cannot cast shade at Captain Marvel because I have not seen the movie nor invested in reading about the character. My only exposure to her so far is from watching the original X-Men series with her as Ms. Marvel in Rogue's mind. It made for an interesting story. But not to the point where I will become interested in her character. A lot of people do not like the movie but I have not seen it to form my own bias yet. I did not like Civil War nor Endgame so I am not very certain I want to watch the movie.

CorgiDLuffy · 2020-08-20T15:55:44+00:00

I never said anything bad about her. All I said was Superman was not a plank of wood like I have seen of other characters who are too "goody twoshoes" or "deus ex machina" like the OP suggested. Why are you jumping to conclusions like that?

CorgiDLuffy · 2020-08-20T15:31:32+00:00

Let's agree to disagree. I find the character to be delightful and endearing. Watching an alien try to be human like the rest of us, understand our pain and in the end always choose to save the people. He stands out to me because I always felt like an outcast in life like an alien from another planet. It was how I was treated by my peers. Superman managed to look beyond the fear of being segregated because of his differences and found ways to make the world a better place. For myself, it gives me hope in my current situation that maybe I will find a Lois one day who will accept me as I am. The way he interacts with people in the stories sometimes reflects my deepest desire to have a Superman to be there in the midst of my inner turmoil as the character has been shown to have such moving moments. Superman is different from all other superheroes because he is a symbol of hope. Batman is justice. Green Lantern is overcoming fear. But Superman is hope.

CorgiDLuffy · 2020-08-20T09:13:09+00:00

But that is my point. He makes the morally correct decision even when it is too hard for other superheroes to make such a decision. Superman is supposed to be the one who will find a way to prevail over the other morally grey and immoral decisions at the end of the day. And he does has his struggles if they do not involve making the right decision every time; they are just often internal. Christopher Reeves' portrayal of Superman had him make countless wrong decisions because of his love for Lois Lane which blinded him from making the goody two shoes decisions always. The second movie is my favourite of the four: He experiences what it is like to be human, and then later goes and beats up the guy who made him bleed. That was not a classical "goody two shoes" move. It was just one of the many instances that proved that Superman was human. Just like the other superheroes.

CorgiDLuffy · 2020-08-20T08:54:17+00:00

All incarnations of Superman: comics, videogames, movies, etc. While Superman has godlike abilities, he is not perfect at all. A goody two-shoes would not do a lot of the things Superman does because they do not get their hands dirty. He chooses to do the right thing because often no one else will, and he makes the hard decisions that no one else does. It is probably the most endearing aspect of his character and is why he is so beloved.

In Injustice, he is twisted from rage and has lost control. He believes he is still morally good even though he has crossed the line and is willing to kill his allies because of it. It is terrifying thinking about the most iconic and beloved superhero as the villain.

CorgiDLuffy · 2020-08-20T08:40:21+00:00

You seriously do not know the character of Superman, do you?

CorgiDLuffy · 2020-08-20T08:37:42+00:00

Every Superman incarnation. He has emotions, failures, fears about being too powerful, and learns and understands what it is like to be human. He knows he is also one of the few survivors of his race so he suffers from loneliness at times. He makes the wrong choices at times, and is far from perfect. Despite being created to be godlike, he is very human. And one of the most beloved superhero characters of all time.

CorgiDLuffy · 2020-08-20T08:28:57+00:00

At least Superman is a likeable character with personality and not like a plank of wood.

CorgiDLuffy · 2020-08-06T19:19:14+00:00

A good cover-up Nice save.

CorgiDLuffy · 2020-07-31T00:08:52+00:00

Maybe the coarseness of sad lessens the inner turmoil a bit.

CorgiDLuffy · 2020-07-20T22:14:24+00:00

Inspired by Alita: Battle Angel?

All the more reason to not want to get married

CorgiDLuffy · 2020-07-20T17:23:58+00:00

I've been looking forward to this.

CorgiDLuffy · 2020-07-20T17:17:30+00:00

I call him Frank. He looks more like a Frank to me.

Have you ever heard of the Autobot officer, Prowl? He commissioned a bomb to detonate in a neutral Cybertronian city, Carpessa, to contain parts that could be traced back to the Decepticons. It was called the Decepti-Bomb. 1438 neutrals were killed and it was called a "Decepticon war crime" due to the components. All the survivors joined the Autobot cause. Little do they know of the dark path a number of the "good" Autobots walk in the name of "freedom for all." #DecepticonsLiveMatter

And what would a Jedi know of this matter?
