An essential "Superboy-Prime" arc read. (Tales of the Sinestro Corps: Superman-Prime)


(It’s eerie how much he resembles Cavill from this angle.)

In some ways, if you don’t want to tread through the Infinite Crisis arc just for SB? Read this, it’s TL;DR’d in this single issue.

Tales of the Sinestro Corps: Superman-Prime | Read All Comics Online

readallcomics.com

#recommended #read #dccomics

Bro was an early 2000s prototype of an Evil-Superman, before the trope got worn out. He’s essentially “Chronicles” Andrew, Tetsuo, Hal Stewart, Carrie, a Peter Parker gone wrong, all combined.

Despite being a knockoff, his concept, the fall, why he snapped, and where he ended up. Holds up decent still, started with too much trauma all at once.

Saw his home erased in front of his eyes, got his emotions played on, he couldn’t cope.

Basically he’s Kara Zor-El except his reaction to the disaster is more interesting/ realistic/gritty than anything attempted with her.

Why? Because they didn’t turn him into a Superman Legacy accessory, he was the deconstruction; which is what Kara should’ve been



  • Loeb’s Daughter of Darkseid angle was rushed.
  • Even that Red Lantern shit ain’t got nothing on this guy’s casual hissy fits.
  • Even the genocide angle in My Adventures with Lois-Chan was under cooked, cheap and rushed (as I predicted back during Season 1’s Episode 2 first aired. I KNEW they would cram her in there somehow, and I knew whatever they did, they would keep to tradition, make her the miraculous cousin *which is 13 yr old oc artist level writing* & not explore anything if they manage to have a good idea, which they did.)

Why? Because Superboy-Prime, unlike Kara Snore-El, is in a league of his own in just how he coped or lack thereof of losing everything. When people say his name, it’s an omen.

He’s not a sidekick, not a DLC, not constantly being justified by writers because there’s an inherent insecurity of the characters entire concept because they would be relevant if it weren’t for nepotism.

Why Clark-Prime works is he was never relegated to a coattail rider or side piece, even during a time when he wanted to be one. And he genuinely did, that’s the entire reason why he went to Smallville and ruined his & everyone else’s lives. Starting his fall, because he wanted Conner out of the way, he wanted to be “Superboy”, the only one.



“SUPERBOY-Prime” is a class of power & cruelty separate from the Clark we know, he’s divorced from Superman whilst trying to be Superman, so he’s not riding coattails, because he has his own, just not in the way that he preferred.

Kara never got to have that because no matter what good ideas are introduced- be it Loeb’s Superman/Batman #8’s Daughter of Darkseid concept to My Adventures with Lois-Chan’s very bold genocide angle (which is basically just Iron Giant) it's wasted. undone and tarnished.

Wasted upon waste upon waste, and WB still keeps begging normies to like her. No matter how many times they rehash the same trash, people still see it as trash, even if they like how it looks. When all DC has to do is polish Kara, clean her, overhaul and make her into something halfway decent.

SB-Prime was the class clown of super villains, but a serious problem.

The meta is he’s self-conscious about being compared to Superman, being 2nd to Superboy, and everything he does is to make a name for himself.

To make his own home by burning the world down, being seen, getting his home back; overlooking the fact that after everything he’s done, even if he got everything he wanted, would his loved ones even want anything to do with him when he returns. (example: Final Crisis: Legion of Three Worlds)

He reminds me of Electro from The Amazing Spider-Man 2 as well, that simmering instability; as well as “Spider-Man: The NEW Animated Series” version of Dillon, who predates Jamie’s Max, leagues worse treatment, he was treated so bad I thought he was going to off himself.

The overcompensation, his incompetence as a human being, despite being superior to most, but as a person so inferior, malnourished.

All stemming from one bad day that happened to him and a horrific day he caused for everyone else- that is what makes him interesting.

He’s not a typical victim of circumstance like Kara who just has to process, and heal, & move on, find herself, paving her own identity and all that bullshit. Just self-indulgent coddling by a narrative that spends more time flaunting what she is vs showing us where she can go as a person.

Prime is pathetic, Kara is unnecessary but a victim. She just wants to fit in somewhere, find herself (usual teen novel crap). Super boy-Prime is part of the problem, he knows it, he thinks that's a good thing because he has the power to force his will onto others & thus he does not care. That difference (despite how eerie similar their tragedies are) is why Prime is more interesting/interesting period vs her (despite all the barebones messages that she represented over the years, that Supes already embodies but in better stories) just existing as a novelty with good intentions.

He became one of the most infamous names in DC Villain continuity. Not mainstream but infamous, which is exactly how it should be, the last thing that needs to happen here is he becomes overrated in mainstream to where his very story is trivialized because of how hard WB shills & pushes the source matter, aka the Kara Snore-El treatment.

This loose cannon of a character could’ve derailed the Infinite Crisis arc, ruin it even, and ended up being a highlight.

Hell, in following years he became a lingering nuisance to everyone in-world but he was no less a threat despite how annoying he was, he would show up here in Teen Titans, then over in a Legion arc, a mention in a Shazam run, maybe he’d be mentioned elsewhere, pop up in two panels in a magic prison or something, but he was so obscure despite being such a huge problem.

Like he was the Babayaga of DC, like DC itself as a meta intelligence tried to suppress his very existence, but he just kept coming back.

"shut up buttercup" Blossom said calmly (recommended show)


Blossom got some tyrant-isms in her genes, I'm sincerely glad Buttercup is as tough as she is, it's a necessary counterbalance.

show: The PowerPuff girls 1998, DO NOT watch that 2016 garbage, only watch the original 90s series for the love of Mojo.

Tentai Senshi Sunred 2 (Recommended show, good writing wrapped in superhero parody--- done right)





 The same situation as the first season:

  • Good writiing
  • fast paced gags
  • the gags are actually funny
  • it's not set in a stupid highschool
  • ---thus no pedo jailbait bullshit. In fact in the entire show, it doesn't even entertain creepy pedo bullshit, not even once. (Props to you writers *cheers)
  • 99% of the cast are adults
  • a diverse cast of colorful characters that are actually more unique than the average shonen lineup;
  • In Season 2 things actually feel like they have progressed since prior season, it's technically a new year in-world.


We get new characters, more shenanigans, same good writing chops, not the same scenario's though, some schticks are wrapped up & we get new ones this time around (very nice).

One of the the MC's "Sunred"" Is basically if Bakugou got a girlfriend and retired from Hero duty--

Nifty recipe's from Vamp & Kayoko, life facts, life hacks; Educational. Excellent show all around for both kids & adults tbh. 

The entire thing is just a good time with competent writing without the pandering & fetishism projection anime as of late if known for, and really we need more of the former.


I finished it myself a couple of a minutes ago as of 2024 & I'm watching it all over again, it's a gem.

Way better Hero subversion than OPM, My Hero and all with cheaper animation. 


Only 13min a episode & each skit is like 2-3min. It doesn't waste your time.

Tales of the New Teen Titans 004 (Starfire's origin is a story of perseverance)

 




Leagues better character than Kara Bore-El, Starfire was robbed for decades. And she's not a version or DLC knockoff of any other character, is a powerhouse, more interesting backstory in comparison, good lore especially regarding her powers.

 Should've been gotten a series or a movie. Same with Cassandra, Kara jus keeps getting carried by Superman and better characters that carry their own weight get left behind & or spared cameos or supporting roles at minimum.  It's so criminal, this is the best take on Kori's backstory. Raw, tragic, and so much perseverance. All that & still she smiles.

Psycho Pass (Recommended- GHOST IN THE SHELL for Normies, well executed Cyberpunk for a new gen)

 





This holds up, a less political heavy, more normie friendly version of Ghost in the shell for a modern generation, but in a good way.

The social commentary is eerie relevant as well. The themes of individuality, society as a collective along the lines of 1984's Oceania vs the self and more so, specifically: apathy.

Season 1 is strongest because Akane's arc was in it's inception, she was the perfect entry point into the world. The innocent newbie that gradually gets hardened by the jobs harsh reality.

  • Much like the Anderson character in the DREDD movie, also recommended.




Kogami is one of the best parts about the show, that ragged, desensitized rule of cool character who's street smart, tough but smart.

Season 2 was decent, not as good, but it was interesting seeing Akane in the role of Kogami, as the seasoned Inspector.

Movie is a good sequel, though you technically don't NEED to binge S2 to watch it and follow.

Season 1 is the staple that really matters that begins the rest of the journey, if you have the time, go for it.

But S1 and the movie is all you need to try it.


Season 1 is well paced, it doesn't waste time jumping into the action. Because Akane is thrown in the situation things are explained to her in a way that feels natural, oddly well executed even for an anime by today's standards. But then again this leans into the seinen territory so naturally it will be better handled for the most part.

Not ALL the characters land, but it's a wide array of personalities that won't get on your nerves, no school shit, grownfolk business.

A lot of the philo-babble is mainly just fluff service, mainly to just pose the question: "What is society?", and the limitations of a new system that boils down the complexity of the human mind to number metrics

Not really for the show to answer it with a clear resolution but merely just intellectual dialog so the characters sound smart, or show sounds deep and it's fine.

SUB & DUB are good, this is one of those anime where It's good enough to where I mainly go Dub.

And most importantly, the villain is pretty interesting, and with an argument as to why he does what he does. Which serves as good storytelling device and propaganda. (And yes, Japan is a device for some heavy propaganda: ex. Godzilla)

But that doesn't mean it isn't good entertainment, that is when it isn't PDF baity bullshit.

It ain't perfect there's anime-isms here and there that get on my nerves which is why I don't re-watch it as much. (The Seasons, but the movie doesn't have that problem)

A decade later, the show (S1-Movie) still holds up.

When the wind blows (1986) movie recommendation


 






Not gonna say much, I woulda posted this months ago but I debated "recommending" this, but it is a solid project as a movie.I watched it twice in 48 hours just to absorb everything. I read a bit of the comic to see the subtle differences.It's basically the western (Grave of the fireflies) and Imma leave it at that.

Cassandra Cain is one of the more legitimate (not cheap- female knockoffs) in comic books and might've been the blueprint for X-23, another good spinoff character

 

Batman v1 567



Excellent debut for the character, you get everything you need to know about her and a good cliffhanger.
She (Like Superman-Prime) doesn't get the exposure she deserves, and that isn't entirely a bad thing, the worst thing that can happen to a character like those two is they get mainstream & enter the realm of overrated hype-culture for the wrong reasons.

At least in this respect, being obscure, under the radar: Less opportunities for a gem to be tainted or ruined by the larger sphere of normie-isms and political correctness.

The better examples of quality in a medium tend to be underrated one's anyway.










C.Cain is an underrated gem

Detective Comics v1 0734



And the best part about her being able to keep up with Batman, is it makes sense narratively, the entire point is she was drilled so hard, so intensively she wasn't even permitted a language to speak as a child- So for her to cut Batman's gauntlets with simple attacks, and it makes sense, for being so young? She is definitely unique as far as a Batman Family member goes, especially being one of his partners in the field. 


So she learns from him, mentored by Barbara & Batman ONTOP of everything she already knows. She has to be top 5 greatest fighters in DC, easily. Especially if /when she eventually rank above her own mother. Her origin story/ overall existence is really something special. 


Not sexualized, not second fiddle, no direct relation to Batman, her history is built upon that fact that she herself is interesting without riding coattails. Not a miracle blood relation or her being a glorified pin-up girl that's desperately been re-envisioned to be deep when she really is not. Cain suffers none of these issues, in the brunt of her first few volumes to say the least.


This is the execution Kara Bore-El is missing in every single respect & area in comparison. Thus it confuses the ever loving crap outta me how Supertoken gets so much push but Cain gets so little to work with- Overrated gimmick vs Underrated gem. Cassandra Cain is solid, her lore is intriguing and so is this 2 issue debut for her character (Batman 567 / Detective Comics 734)

NOVA: Volume 4 (Recommended read) 2011 (Bucket Head Hero with an underrated legacy)

 





Superman: The Animated Series (Recommended)

I roasted this back in the day because of how tame his power level was, but this is a young Superman story done right.





This show tackles cool characters & concepts ranging from Mxy to Darkseid to the Legion of Superheroes.



And featuring a Kara (NOT Bore-El) surprisingly that doesn't piss me off with her very existence. Imagine my surprise to find out she's NOT miraculously Superman's Cousin who ALSO just happened to survive the explosion because Jor-EL just HAPPENED to have a brother who JUST HAPPENED to be a Scientist who HAPPENED to have exact same idea to Kara but for some reason not himself or his wife.

Fan-fic tier garbage. GARBAGE.

But Kara In-Ze decent, she's a good kid.

In fact, I wish Kara In-Ze was in that Superman Returns deleted scene when he went back to Krypton, and he finds her on Argo or something. Some of kind of payoff for that 5 years he was gone

Back to the show. Clark is a sassy, witty chad.

He's not some Him-bro purse puppy like someone else I know in recent memory I wish I could carve out of my skull. He's a vanilla dork big-brother (like Welling's take) who's underwhelming enough to sell the role but not overdoing it to point it's cartoonish & annoying.

He's good at his job, both of them. And the more times he puts on the cape, the more the universe expands, the guy just attracts trouble and all tryna do is the right thing.

I thought initially him not being overtly geeky would've defeated the illusion but in fact he's still so bland as a person compared to Superman he doesn't have to go out of his way to try not be suspicious, which now that i'm thinking about it would make him more suspicious.

And the sass carries over to Superman, this character (from here to JLU) cops attitude A LOT, it's funny see. A very human Superman with a wide range of emotions as he's in this Superhero career, yet stoic and collected and I love it.

Stubborn as an Ox at times, especially as he gets older & develops more of an ego. He's a leader, but not beyond all reason. A good guy, reliable, very human.

In fact, in a lot of ways, a Shonen protagonist with a hint of slice of life..

I like this guy.



Besides Smallville/ Superman/Superman & Lois/ hell even that Lois & Clark show was charming-

This is THE post-modern Superman, done right.

Honorable mention: 40's Fleischer Superman



I recommend TAS to JL & JLU, since it is technically one timeline (though JL S1 he was nerfed to shit), but it's all part of his story.

Top 3 favorite Lois Lanes of all time. 

  • The music is so peaceful, grandiose at the same time. The composer did the tracks justice, she did her part to bring this project to life with a sound reminiscent of Williams work.
  • I really like the Retro-Futuristic aesthetic of Metropolis and various other set pieces compared to Gotham & Smallville, it genuinely looks like a city of the future. Reminds me of the Jetsons
  • The character writing has that old-school wit to it, where most of the older characters are witty, snarky but professional. Very solid. Vs these days where most characters are random, loud, quirky, and just annoying lol
  • As far as Superman lore goes, one of the few things they didn't put in there was Eradicator, Superboy, etc. This show COVERS a lot of the groundwork of Superman content. 3 Seasons+ of content- even Livewire is in here.

If I were to have a complaint (and no it's not Kara), it would be the pre-Singer/Snyder era of how his powers are presented and engineered into visual format. I really like how Singer introduced Superman causing sonic-booms



-and how Zack translated his power into fights.



In TAS show it lacks the aesthetic, the punch/emphasis, he's strong but.... it doesn't lean into it enough for me at times.

Again, It's very tame but while it's underwhelming, he is young and the later installments pick it up eventually.

Surprisingly My Adventures with Lois-Chan tried to mix it up with the sfx & action, but even that show was lacking, so so so many areas, but I'm going to leave that alone for now.



Superman: TAS

grounded Superman version Zack should've did more homework on. Cavill deserved to adapt this Superman.

Dune: Part Two - One of the best pieces of Anti-Christ Propaganda I've ever seen. *video version* (Movie Recommendation )

 







Veggies before Dessert, let's get this out the way:

DUNE PT 2 is Blatant propaganda, I'm probably not helping the cause by spreading it/recommending it over & over again but ignorance is the greatest weapon of the powers that be use against the "cattle".

But in reality, you NOT seeing it actually the worst situation, see it, see Barbie, see Oppenheimer, see "They Live", SEE, witness and know exactly what they're coding into these movies. And have been for a long, long time.

Civil War? That's too obvious, obviously they want us killing each other. And what better way to plant the seeds than a movie where there's a line where one asserts "What kind of American?", just dangerous DANGEROUS language.

They clearly want us separated, and at each others throats. While they're united in their agenda in controlling the masses. Because notice how Americans are never afforded any goddamn peace? There's always something wrong lmfao.

No Gov. efforts to get our birthrates up, nothing. That's not an accident.

They want to abolish the America as a metaphorical EMPIRE, to raise up the ONE WORLD Organization. That's all that shit's about.

Letting Aliens in, they live on our tax dollar, almost as if to ACCELERATE our economic collapse on purpose. Almost as if that were the plan, create problems and fix nothing. And make more promises.

  • (They Live 1988)- The Matrix 1999: Modern world as you know, predictive programming. The elites, The Machines controlling your system

  • (DUNE PART TWO?): Anti-Christ, revolution. The prelude to nuclear war

  • (Oppenheimer): WWIII.

  • (Barbie): The world after the war, sterilized, gynocentric fake. Men are bastardized husks of actual Men. Simulation.

Do not get swallowed up in how it sounds or looks.

Reverend Mother said it herself.

"There are no sides."

u/LKururugiPK - See, Witness and know. But They do.
See, Witness and know. But They do.

OUTSIDE OF Conspiracy.

Dune PART TWO by itself?

A well produced, well made film.

Though it is longwinded aka long as shit.

u/LKururugiPK - bonk bonk bonk
bonk bonk bonk

Well made, well composed, well acted, sound design is solid. The writing was satisfactory, well paced (Mainly because this movie is a direct sequel); More so better than LAST JEDI ever accomplished for me, that was also well shot, but trash. DUNE Part ONE did the slow-pacing storytelling work to set the groundwork so PART TWO could bring the thunder, and it brought it mercilessly. Too damn long, but the pacing is way better than Endgame despite the length. And ironically, it's impressive that this franchise has custom lore that most ppl (including me) weren't that familiar with, and it's this well executed, so far anyway.

Paul is ok, he's sympathetic enough at first, an awkward-nerdy book worm, good fighter, someone plain enough for the audience to project onto, he was a good boi; A shonen protagonist.

u/LKururugiPK - Dune: Part Two - One of the best pieces of Anti-Christ Propaganda I've ever seen. *VIDEO version* (Movie Recommendation-again )

He reminds me of (Matrix Reloaded) Neo, a bland slate mc, deadpan most of the time, visions out the ass.

He didn't really leave a major impression on me in PT1, his outbursts don't really sell me, he's not intimidating, but he was a good kid, he was learning, and in pain; Bro lost a lot. PART ONE was the boy being set out into the wilderness, away from home, robbed of his father.

But his transition, that was good. Timothy sells it effortlessly. Lisan al-Gaib is a serious mf: SOLD

Paul was the boy. Muad'Dib was the young man. Lisan al-Gaib is the MAN. All Man.

In a weirrd way, it's make me realize how much of a wasted opportunity it was that NEO in the Matrix didn't take after Morpheus and didn't really "lead" Zion in any way.

u/LKururugiPK - Dune: Part Two - One of the best pieces of Anti-Christ Propaganda I've ever seen. *VIDEO version* (Movie Recommendation-again )

It makes sense why he chose Trinity over Zion, because he wasn't attached to Zion. Not even a little bit. How long was he there? A few days? He didn't connect with the people, yeah he talked to a Council member but because the Elder came to him. Neo didn't seek to know their ways or anything, to know the people that he's "delivering" out of a century long bondage.

Unlike Lisan al-Gaib who is integrated with the Fremen, he earned his keep, they know him, and respect him. He leads them because he made it his business to respect their ways and know them.

Neo? Didn't do that lol, thanks to seeing this movie and better executed THIS version of the anti-Christ is playeed out, now I have a new grip with the Matrix Neo character lmfao

Whoops?! Lol

Now. That's not to say, Neo is worse, because in context. Paul was a Prince, he was raised to eventually lead the Atreides house. Vs Neo being an introvert, no leadership skills. It'd be weird for him to suddenly step up as a Steve Rogers personality for no reason.

But then again, Steve wasn't exactly a purebred prince himself, sometimes in life, despite comfort zone, you have to step up and be that figure when it's necessary. Hence Captain America

u/LKururugiPK - How you started. Is not what you have to be forever. The difference is you deciding not to be.
How you started. Is not what you have to be forever. The difference is you deciding not to be.

But it definitely makes Paul look better lmfao, more legitimate.

The Zion people didn't trust Neo, they didn't know him.

The Fremen know Usul, they follow out of trust and respect. It's why Stilgar asks what's in store for them, on behalf of their people-- he asks this boy he once mentored, what is in store for them all.

"Lead them to paradise."

DUNE 1-2 is pretty much a more tightly written The Matrix 1-2, we'll see how it stands as a trilogy, eventually, possibly.

u/LKururugiPK - Dune: Part Two - One of the best pieces of Anti-Christ Propaganda I've ever seen. *VIDEO version* (Movie Recommendation-again )

But Part Two is the boy becoming a man, in more ways than one.

This movie is when Timothy shines a little more, he knows how to sell a Messiah figure, my biggest worry was he'd be cringe when he "woke up" but he actually reminded me a lot of Christ, triggered Christ-- that southern temple scene was nothing but Jesus checking the Pharisees, same exact energy-

Same aggression.

To reiterate--- Ironically, it's impressive that this franchise has custom lore that most ppl (including me) weren't that familiar with- it's not a superhero movie, it's not Star Wars and it's not all that mainstream and it's THIS well put together (so far)??! Not bad. (EPISODE 9 Rise of ScumWalker eat your heart out), PART TWO is very close (but not precisely because Thanos was next level) but not that far off from achieving a level of epic scale that it took the MCU 10 years to achieve.

Main Gripe #1: And this is one is exclusive to the movie, the not the book-- THE MOVIE.

--- How the fuck do they get off the Worms?

And more importantly, how do they manage to get a pregnant woman on a worm and how the manage to get her off. The movie never showed that. It came to mind after first watch. These worms aren't Elephants, they don't seem to stop when in motion, they're like Sharks, they must move.

u/LKururugiPK - Dune: Part Two - One of the best pieces of Anti-Christ Propaganda I've ever seen. *VIDEO version* (Movie Recommendation-again )

And the only way to get on is while they're in motion, specifically in motion, so how they managed to get off by the same principle (with a pregnant woman) is something my brain meats ponder, as far as the movie is concerned. Obviously there IS a way, hence how Jessica got to the temple or how anyone dismounts the worm at some point.

(And the fact that in PART ONE a Dune worm stopped in front of Paul & Jessica, so they can stop)

So it's not immersion breaking, just a thought. They might dangle off the side and just gradually descend, but again, pregnant Jessica lmfao. Somehow they must be able to get the beast to halt with just those two handles.

Gripe #2 : *If Sand Worms for the Harkonnen are a known problem, why haven't they cultivated an orbital weapon to take care of them?

u/LKururugiPK - Dune: Part Two - One of the best pieces of Anti-Christ Propaganda I've ever seen. *VIDEO version* (Movie Recommendation-again )

They have space ships, hover packs, energy shields, **SPACE -SHIPS**, some kind of needle gun tech, Fremen use blue beam weapons, but no Rail-Guns or Macro-Needle Gun installed to deter or kill Worms? The HARKONNEN of all Houses would/should possess that tech. I could definitely see them using like a Decibel Concussion-Cannon to blast some dubstep so loud it's a weapon of mass destruction to scare off or hurt the worms. (But that's probably a bit outside this universes technological capability but a big needle rail-gun for sure.)

----------

Muad'Dib

See like My Hero Academia, this modern DUNE is spoiling the story in a lot of ways even when you don't realize it, but unlike My Hero, it's done right. The information is given in pieces, fragments, like a dream. And even the most minute detail like Paul & Chani looking at Muad'Dib in a vision or the actual mouse encountering Paul the morning after the attack in PART ONE or Muad'Dib bugging Paul while he was trying to hide before the Harvester raid.

u/LKururugiPK - Dune: Part Two - One of the best pieces of Anti-Christ Propaganda I've ever seen. *VIDEO version* (Movie Recommendation-again )

Something simple like that foreshadowed Paul turning the name of a simple desert mouse into a title of infamy that even the Harkonnen dread. A little mouse that can derive water from the desert, resourceful, a survivor.

This shit is well made, it ain't no masterpiece. But it was definitely the closest thing to genuine epic scale "Cinema" (without bullshit or contrivance) that we've gotten outta MCU since Avengers: Infinity War
