>>10516983>Why is no DC Character besides Batman and his associated acts a drawSuperman was a massive draw from the 30s to the 70s. And Superman never changed.
It was the world that changed. Everything went sour in the 80s. The innocence of the 50s was truly and completely dead and it became en vogue to be a nihilistic anti-hero -- this was doubled-down on in the 90s, and now has moved into full parody trope mode.
We're to blame for Superman no longer being a draw because we don't want aspirational heroes anymore -- we want dark badasses that have a twisted past and are MORALLY GREY.
Good guys are "boring". Heroes that we look up to are dead -- now, we in our narcissism drag them down into the muck of reality and make them more like us: flawed, filled with angst, and depressed.
