Yeah! I don't think anyone can be superman. Bibbo going out to help a puppy in need is treated as cutesy scene or even funny one. He isn't treated as superman in his own right nor is he given the importance. This guy needs to be treated as not some comic relief or something with respect. If and when he is, then i will believe that.
This feels like a better example of being superman. Than most who writers have him be a hollow saint. And no this isn't meant to be funny or cute. And i am being serious. If you ask me he should have been made Clark's successor. Not 4 random dudes. The story would have been much better.
"this looks like a job for the hard as nails softie".
"Giving a damn when you see people suffering ". In this world where we are all wrapped in our own worlds. People who give a damn are far less miniscule a number.I do not think its justified to criticise them. its self-perpetuating cycle and they are themselves suffering . So, that itself mean most won't be able to become superman.It is when those who don't give a damn, start to give damn or begin to like superman.only then can he become any sort of example. For that they need to see any part of themselves in them. They need to empathise or sympathise with the character.it's when thise who have tendency to take self-interest first begins to like superman, the character begins to work. Otherwise, he isn't a better example.
Guys like these are one in thousands or even millions. Not to say they shouldn't be cherised. Heck! They are the ones who should be. But, clark isn't even this guy. He doesn't need anything no food, no shelter, no security.. Etc. He is absolved of man's selfish desires.
The thing about Superman and people is that, people say Superman isn't relatable. Well, he can't relate to people either. It's someone who can't understand what you are going through nor felt the way you felt making a comment on your predicament,Whatever that maybe. That can be very offensive to people.(i am not talking about the allstar thing. But, writers who try to emulate that seen without the context or try to do their own version of the scene without nuances.It does not help the character at all)
