The Return of Pa and Ma

[Vordan]

Since Doomsday Clock the elder Kents have been restored to life once more, and while they primarily show up in Jon’s book, they have returned to being ongoing supporting characters. Some people were very adamant that their return to life was key to “fixing” the state of the Superman franchise. For those people I wanted to know, how satisfied are you with their usage thus far?

There've been some sweet scenes in my opinion even if Tom Taylor has once again defaulted to "Pa Kent giving Bruce a pep talk."

[Gaius]

Get 'em back in the ground where they can exchange feel good moments with the butler.

Voted for "hate how they've been used" but that's not entirely correct. They've barely shown up in Clark's comic so I'm pretty happy with that.

I just want them dead.

The Kents add nothing to the story that can't be accomplished with flashbacks and/or other characters like Perry. Far too often in post-Crisis we'd see Clark run off to Smallville to get some of that good ol' corn fed wisdom from the Kents, and usually it wasn't actually worth a damn, so blindingly obvious or useless Clark should've just read his horoscope.

I guess I should’ve clarified that this was aimed more at people who did want the Kents back and were adamant that they were essential parts of the supporting cast. I prefer the Kents be dead too, but I’m primarily interested in if those who want them alive are happy with how they’ve been used so far.

I just like them being around. I've always hated how it feels like damn near every superhero has dead parents. So as long as Ma and Pa continue to just..exist, I'm fine. I don't need anything particularly profound from them. Just be supportive supporting cast members and show support to the character that they're supporting XD
