He probably felt his Superman costume was incomplete with only one S.

I learned a long time ago everything was bullshit. Now I'm watching other people start to understand. 🥲

When you do actions that would make Superman look at you in shame, you need to rethink your actions. Especially if you fucking played the character and worse the costume. It's one thing if you're already overweight Lex Luthor but you never learned some compassion from one of the most honest and completely good characters in all of fiction that you portrayed? Sheesh what a douche.

... one of the most honest and completely good characters in all of fiction

Clearly, you have no familiarity with the original comics. 😅😶

[–] orbitz@lemmy.ca 1 points 7 hours ago

No I do not and most of my knowledge comes from animated stuff after the 80s. Plus some minimal comic reads but never enough for a full story, except one of other timeline stories I read as a full story. Oh a couple all star ones where he was pretty good. But yeah I am going with stuff that's not original and still before Dean Cain ... Unless I'm mistaken then I'm wrong shrug I'm wrong often. But not wrong enough to be an ICE agent at least.

Mean I read Superman is a dick when it was a website (I do miss scrolling through those comic covers) now curious how much of a dick he was.

Well, "Superman" literally translates to Übermensch.

He was upset about the racism he experienced when he was hired as Superman. His father’s family was interned in a Japanese internment camp during ww2. Seems like he’s a couple sandwiches short of a picnic. https://www.primetimer.com/news/who-are-dean-cain-s-parents-actor-recalls-racist-backlash-following-superman-casting

"Superman is encouraging Americans to become real-life superheroes by answering their country's call to join the brave men and women of ICE to help protect our communities to arrest the worst of the worst," said DHS assistant secretary Tricia McLaughlin.

I wonder how DC Comics are taking the news that their creation, whose morals are as iron and motives are peace and human life, may well become a Nazi posterboy, led by some barely known actor whose morals are nonexistent and motives are social regression and oppression.

Well dean has shown himself to be a complete douche canoe for a long time now, It's not surprising.

[–] Lyra_Lycan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

He's just salty his is the most forgettable Superman

[–] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

I watched every episode as a kid and the only thing I remember about it is that dean cain is a douchebag.

I couldn't tell you a single thing about any of the episodes.

Isn't Superman an illegal alien?

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

Not if you’re a batshit racist fuckwit, no.

[–] moseschrute@lemmy.world 10 points 8 hours ago

Is this because they “made the new Superman too woke”?

[–] mcbenavides85@piefed.social 6 points 8 hours ago

Dean Tanaka.
