Story Spotlight: Superman, This is Your Life
7Happy thanksgiving guys! Today I’m continuing my “End of an Era” videos by going over the last three issues of the Superman books during Infinite Crisis before One Year Later. This closed the door on post-crisis Superman as we knew him as well as Golden Age Earth-2 Superman.
During their incredible fight during the events of Infinite Crisis, the two Supermen, due to the strengths of their blows and the instability of the Multiverse, were able to re-live their lives on the other Superman’s earth and both decide to succeed where the other failed.
What we get is a clash of moralities. Earth-2 Superman tries to impose his black and white morality on a very grey morale world. While Earth Prime Superman tries to use his “I will influence and inspire people on this planet through my own actions” method on a world of simple morals. Yeah it doesn’t go well.
The point of this story, and why it fits in with thanksgiving, is we have two individuals who are the same man, but with different upbringings and beliefs. Put them together they will fight over nothing really important. And that it’s when they realize, thanks to Wonder Woman, what really matters, that they cooperate.
Again how does that fit into thanksgiving? Well basically it’s a message to those out there who will meet family members they will argue with to put aside your ideologies and instead focus on what really matters. Family and football LOL
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
