Or you are at the tail end of one generation and applying your experiences to subsequent generations that did not have the same shit on tv?

You're applying your one single experience to everyone on the planet born in the last 55 years.

It's amazing how not a single person has agreed with you, yet you insist the rest of the world definitely does and this board is somehow made up of pro-Superman propaganda outliers.

Remember going to the video store and renting "old" movies that looked cool, then thinking you watched them all on TBS/USA? Pepperidge Farm's remembers.

Our local Fox network (I think it was) ran a whole bunch of cartoons after school that were no longer being made. Scooby-Doo was obviously the best cartoon ever made and it played every day, yet they stopped making it long before I was born. Also, I never heard of no Superman Cartoon (other than Justice League reruns on Nickelodeon?), nor do I remember seeing the Spiderman cartoon everyone seems to like.

lol like half this thread concurs with me and the other half are retarded and wrong, including you. It's not even a matter of opinion, you are all just old as fuck and have shitty memories. If you came of age watching superfriends in 1973, you were old enough to watch superman in 1978. If you weren't at least 5-6 years old when it went off the air in 1983? Then you didnt watch it. Oh I must have seen it on cartoon network then! Nope, that didn't exist until 92. Oh I'm sorry, it was on the WB. Even more wrong, WB didnt exist until 1995-96. If you were 8 years old in 1983 watching Superfriends then you were 21 years old before Superman The Animated Series hit the WB, you're really going to sit there and claim you were getting up on saturday mornings to watch it? lol

there was whole fucking generations that came after you who had a completely different experience growing up, we had different cartoons on, and we didnt have superman movies. WB didn't syndicate superman on TV, so you didn't watch it on TBS like your shitty memory is telling you you did. It only aired once, in 1982, on ABC in the LA market, and then again in 1994 on WGN, which I believe is chicago? yeah that shit wasn't on TV. You saw your dads VHS. These are facts, they aren't debatable, you are fucking wrong.

Still can't admit you don't know what an origin story is, huh?

Born in 72, and I remember not really having much interest in Superfriends for whatever reason. But I definitely remember loving Superman 78 and, I think, Superman II was one of the first movies I ever saw in the theater.

Interestingly, for me, my favorite super hero of that timeframe was The Greatest American Hero.

In Houston, there was a local video rental place called latest and greatest video. They had a few locations, but there was one pretty close to my dad's house. We used to go there maybe every other day during the summer.

The owner was this old dorky guy but his entire family worked there and ran the other stores. Definitely a mom and pop establishment, and they remembered who you were and if you were good customers you would always be first on the list to reserve a new release.

One of the best things they ever did was if you rented a new release you got to go rent an older video for free. Parents would pick out a new release, and then I could go and browse the horror or science fiction section just grab whatever the hell I wanted. I don't know how many crazy horror movies I watched just because of cool box art that were either pretty good or hilariously bad.

Video stores were awesome back in the 80s and 90s. You were always excited as a kid to go. Plus they had a pretty massive Nintendo section.

If you were born in 1980 or even a few years earlier superfriends was long off the air by the time you could really form memories or actively watch tv. WB was fighting to make their own network so didn't play any of their superman movies on television unless you had HBO, and the long delayed wb network didn't start airing a new superman cartoon until 1996, long after you stopped watching saturday morning cartoons.

This has not happened even once in the history of this forum. If you popped into a thread and started posting about how the sky is blue you'd inevitably phrase it in some dumbass adversarial way that made everyone disagree with you.

The only way your argument works is if you were too poor for comic books, VHS, or regular friends who had access to those things. Even for people who didn't like Superman, his death was huge fucking news....in 1992. If you were too young and poor to watch VHS, theater movies, HBO, etc in the 80s, you probably heard of Superman and had access to his story by 1992.

But I feel your pain. I bet lots of young people were pissed and confused as Thanos went wild on their heroes. Who the fuck was this dude? I never saw his origin story so WTF am I even watching? What are these infinity stones and what is that fucking gauntlet? Where's it's origin story? YTF isn't there a black power stone in that gauntlet? Those racists! How am I supposed to learn about anything without an origin story? Can some asshole invent the internet or something please?!

Haha.. I have a "friend" like this. Everything is phrased in a way that infuriates me where, even though I would normally agree, makes me take on an opposing position.

Ahh I think you've cracked it, this is the disconnect here.

I hadn't even thought about premium cable
channels.

Allow me to amend my previous statement.

If you were born after 1970...ie 70-80 time frame, and were too young to have seen superman in theater, the only way you cared about superman was:
A) you had parents or older siblings who did see superman in the theater, and they owned the vhs and you watched that, or
B) you had access to premium cable. HBO, show time, skinamax. And you, young teenage boy, who had access to endless softcore titties and the occasional bush shot, instead spent your time jerking off to wonderboy in his spandex and his "up up and away" or whatever his catchphrase was.

Ie, You are a faggot. Got it.

Me, I grew up poor. We didn't even have basic cable until I was like 12. I had to tune into the naughty channel and hope that I could make out a nipple between the distortion and scrambled lines. If I had fucking skinamax at 13 I sure as fuck would not have been watching superman reruns, that's for fucking sure.

I was born in 76, and my family was working poor until well into the 90s. Reading comics in the grocery store was free. You are being a strange faggot in this thread for some reason. The only way you wouldn't have known who Superman was, and his origin story, is if you never went near popular media ever for a few decades. Not an impossible feat, but several deviations from the norm no matter what economic strata you were in in the US During the 70s/80s/90s/00s. His "Truth, Justice, and the American Way" is still iconic, and why he was so popular. It wasn't just comics and movies, he was plastered everywhere as a patriotic symbol.

Even as a poor you had regular access to George Reeves 1950s adventures of superman. That was one of the first big hit TV shows and was on TV reruns well into the 80s along with 60s Batman and 60s spiderman cartoons. George Reeves was every bit as popular as Burt Wards batman.

"Some younger people haven't seen the origin story as much, so they would have appreciated it" would be a level headed take, even if people disagreed.

"NOBODY UNDER 60 KNOWS WHO THE FUCK THIS FLYING BLUE FAGGOT IS AND WARNER BROS TRIED TO HAVE HIM ERASED FROM HISTORY CAUSE HE'S A BITCH" is basically the same thing

This is starting to show legs. 15 million Tuesday which is the best first Tuesday of the year and is getting positive word of mouth. If this has a 40 to 50 pct drop this weekend that’s a huge win.

That's why Thor 2 is considered bad, because there hadn't been an origin story since the last movie. Then Ragnarok kinda had one so it was good, but then what the fuck?? They went straight to Love and Thunder with no origin story in the middle and it killed the whole franchise.

Just saw it. Really good. Very much influenced by OG Reeves Superman films.

The Gunn obligatory weird characters like Hawkgirl and Mr Terrific were great.

Bottomline: 13 y/o nephew, his sister, and their buddies they all loved it. :emoji_thumbsup:
