When Supes hits the public domain I'm inverting his character by making him MAGA. Fly the rot in everyone's faces.

You're more likely to be sued by the thousands of people that have beaten you to that particular punch at that point.

Amazon would probably be first in line, which is kinda weird if you think about it.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago

Could you be sued once its public domain? Maybe for the other elements if it was again copyrighted based on those. I get Invincible, but it would feel different with actual superman, and not the one where he landed in Russia.

you just invented Homelander from "The Boys"

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

Except Homelander is different. You gotta make America feel like America is doing this by actually using their mascot. Also, Homelander didnt do any of those things in the comics, he was framed by Black Noir.

Evil Superman has been done to death and it's not interesting or edgy anymore.

It's just dumb.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Yeah but it hasn't been done where superman is just deporting all these people using his super speed, taking medicines from the cabinets of single African mothers using his flight. I think it would be effective in showing the effects of csncelling USAID and everything else the administration is doing. Hell, do it in golden age comic style for extra points as trump wants to return to that age but not do anything those presidents did.

So instead of Supply Side Jesus, it'll be Supply Side Superman?

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah,paint the ridiculousness of their actions. Have supply side Jesus come in and thank him at the end just like the classics

It almost feels like we've come up with a goldmine of an idea for an artist lol.

Red Son was pretty close.

Evil Superman is boring and done to death.

Evil Batman is much more suitable for the times
