I like the sound of it. It would blow people's minds if he defected to the Soviet Union, though lol.
As posted already there's a comic called Red Son which is Iib af but still a good read anyway where superman lands in the user instead of America. I'm very inspired by that comic for the second movie and it'll go down easier for audiences causes there's a comic about it, even though I'd say thr difference between willingly defecting and crash landing there as a baby means quite a lot, nerds would just notice I'm tsking notes from a really popular superman comic. Even just being a Soviet worker means he can just like...really throw down hard on the each according to their ability each according to their needs things. He kinda throws that ratio wayyyyy off and the soviets becoming a rapidly advancing workers republic internally by just having superman putting up apartment buildings in 3 minutes means Soviet superman causes greater international tension just by helping the people cause America is gonna go harder on the cold war as a consequence. He's just fucked no matter what and he considers himself a guest on this planet and can fly anywhere pretty much instantly, he's a global view guy in a regional world. I don't understand how other people haven't latched on to this angle and really went with it
It's so absurd that he ends global poverty, hunger, makes sure every single person on the planet is fulfilled and doing well, entirely peacefully, he doesn't conquer or invade a single country, and the comic depicts this as a bad thing because "muh freedoms!"
It's written by Mark Millar who's a complete hack.
I thought that was Frank Millar who was the hack?
Though tbh, hack and comic book writer are kind of synonymous.
Frank Miller:
, writes weird fascist stuff about Batman.
Mark Millar:
, writes cringy edgelord garbage.
It sounds silly but I'll probably add it to my comic reading list anyway.
If you take it as it is, it's a really fun read.
It is one of the better superman stories for what it's worth. Go in expecting extremely lib depictions of Stalin, the USSR and communism and you should be alright.
Superman: Red Son
In all fairness he crashes there in the first place in that comic, he doesn't become disgusted with America and willingly defect.
Forgot about that one. Haven't read it yet.
It's lib but taken as it's own thing it's a fun read
