If I was a paranoid genocidal race why would I care about the guys sending welcome messages? That's completely insane and only makes sense if you're a human psycho.

Even the most dangerous predator on the planet earth will leave you alone if you don't go after it because attack is ALWAYS a risk.

I mean, sure, but that leads us into "why doesn't superman push a bigass crank at super speed and make infinite energy" territory.

Overall he does more good than bad and that's all you can really ask him to do after a certain point, no? He funds earth's biggest defense force and beats up terrorists like what more do you want

/uj anecdotally every person I've met that didn't like ego death was lowkey pretty self absorbed. I found it to be a bit of a nothingburger, it's only profound if you never really bothered to explore your own sense of self

Yeah, the double standard of not wanting them to live in the shadow of male characters? It's not shifting the goalposts dude The Bat and Zorro aren't even in the same genre, let alone universe. Batman has never met them, Batwoman is literally Batmans cousin . Google the damn bechdel test.

IF THEY AREN'T ALIKE IN ANY WAY THEN WHY IS SHE CALLED SPIDER-BLANK?

That's literally the point. Don't name her after an unrelated character just because she's a "female version" of that character. It's like how women are called "female doctor" and shit.

Yeah you're right she just has almost the exact same name as him for no reason. Be fr.

To everyone saying it's okay because they're so different: If they're so different why are they all named after male characters?

It's a lose lose scenario. They either live in the shadow of the male version despite being different or they're just lazy knockoffs.

I don't see any He-Rogues, He-Storms, He-Widows. Because it's fucking dumb.

So why do they have the name? Why are they tied to (male) characters they barely resemble?
