Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

Superman's symbol is one of the most recognized symbols in the entire world. He was created before the vast majority of the living population was born and is still relevant enough to head up franchises and make successful movies. It's not uncommon to see his logo on cars, hats, and t shirts 20 times a day. The majority of people can tell you something about Superman, like some of his powers, his weakness too kryptonite, his secret identity, the daily planet, Lois lane... something. I like OPM. He's a fun satirical twist on the trope. But my god is there not even close to a comparison in notoriety and fandom. None of those things is true of OPM.
where the hell do you live that you see superman's logo even once a day. I haven't seen superman's logo in months up until this point, when I explicitly went out of my way to go search superman on imdb. That is such a load of fucking bullshit I don't even know how you could come up with that.
this is even more laughable. It's a joke in the movie industry how bad superman movies are. There's literally a pinned comment about it on the TMDB.
If you don't believe that, https://www.boxofficemojo.com/franchise/fr2756153093/ shows that the top Superman movie isn't even a Superman movie! It's a Batman and Superman movie! like holy cow, even the best Superman movie doesn't solely star him.
Superman is a tired trope. The newest movie got views despite Superman, because it's a fucking James Gunn film. People expected him to actually make a proper Superman rather than the lameness he has been for the past 50 years.
