Is society to blame for the decline in his popularity?

No, the writing just sucks for him.

Exactly. Thats the tragedy of it. The only time they can think to make fucking Superman an actual character and not this bland Iconic 'muh symbol of hope' with all the personality of an empty cocacola bottle. Is when they don't even bother trying and just have him be as horrible as possible

People need the visual reintroduction to who Supes really is, the way Cap got with First Avenger and TWS.

Superman needs to be the boyscout, the paragon of justice, a good man. But he needs to look cool doing it. That's the key.

Chris Evans made Cap look GOOD.

Caville could have made Clark look amazing, but the film was mired in depression and grit needlessly and suffered because it failed to be what Superman really is. Hopeful, and awesome.

That's why my movie pitch has always been an action comedy featuring Superman vs. Lobo

Because there is only so much you can do with a man who can't make bad choices, can't make mistakes, can't ever be defeated by the bad guy, or ever act in any way less than absolutely perfectly.

His terrible movies, lack of video games, and average cartoon play more of a role in his decline. Comic don't count since they are just a niche hobby that most people don't care about.

You can do a lot with Superman, you just have to not be a complete hack. Also,

>can't ever be defeated by the bad guy

Based trips of truth.

I thought man of steel was a good movie if you look at it more as a science fiction movie rather than a Superhero movie. BVS though killed all the goodwill people had towards it. Which is a shame.

I'm not even angry at the people involved anymore. The entireSuperman Ip has been mired in so many bad decisions, poor management, and just outright damn bad luck, that I doubt even a great filmmaker can redeem the character in the eyes of the public. It's literally gotten that bad.

He might eventually get a movie that doesn't suck. But he's never going to have the relevancy he once had since he's been replaced in the public eye by Captain America and Iron man as the 'muh symbols of hope' characters.

Captain America was already popular among normie audiences before Civil War, which was the first time he was shown to make a mistake.

Oh joy. Kryptonite. the original lazy Plot device. At least be creative! Use Red Sun generators or something else for christssake! No more fucking Kryptonite!
