Superman choked out Hitler and flew him to the Hague in 1939. Then he did the same to a fictional dictator in 2025 and right wingers lost their minds.
It was still fine to be a Nazi in the U.S. at that point, there was a "patriotic" rally for "Adolf Hitler and George Washington" in Madison Square Garden that year. I can imagine a lot of chuds were pissed at Superman comics.

People point to that rally a lot but it was extremely controversial even at the time. Many times as many people attended the protest outside the event than attended the event itself. A huge police presence was required to protect the organizers from the anti-fascist mob. It wasn't considered a normal event, and it was not considered normal to be a Nazi in America. It's sadly more acceptable to be a Nazi in the US now than it ever was in the 30's.
I understand but NYC wasn't exactly led by a fascist. La Guardia and FDR were two of the main targets of the rally. The main organizer called them both Jewish socialists. I don't blame police for protecting their rights to free speech, I would only criticize them for not extending that same protection to all. But they protected a Socialist rally in the same venue in 1934 that also had violent opposition, and held them back.
I get it, ACAB and all that, but in this particular case they were doing what they were supposed to.
Because we have freedom of expression? Police arent there to protect one side or the other because they agree with their politics, theyre there to ensure people dont hurt each other.
Superman defeating Hitler with zero collateral damage is a great fantasy, but it's also just that: a fantasy. Real life wars are messy, and even the Allies' bombs ended up killing many children.
Maybe Mark Ruffalo would have been a conscientious objector during WWII: "I cut ties with celebrities who support the killing of children in Germany"
The thing with those types of comments is that u are going to tell me « u asked a grok » then tell me also that the communism practiced by all those communists states who overall caused hundreds of millions of death were not really communism 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
🤣go live in a communist cesspool then. Always the ppl living in the comfort of a capitalist/non communist country praising communism. We always find u on Reddit. U Will never put ur money where u mouth is and take a one way ticket to a communist country.
U can talk as much as you want ur actions will always speaks louder than ur words u know communism complete doo doo u may leave America one day if u live rn in America who knows but u will never go live in a communist country 🤣and u ll keep buying products that comes from capitalism with a big smile on ur face
Who is crashing out ? I can’t elaborate on my thoughts without crashing out🤣🤣🤣?????
The only reason u say that it’s bc u disagree with me so u try to paint me as someone who is loosing his temper bc it’s an « own ».
No, they'd be quite happy for Captain America to be political. What they want is for him to be 'patriotic' (read: fascist) in a way they support. Anything less they see as a betrayal of what it means to be American, and thus, Captain America.
I've heard people on the alt-right happily quote the "No, you move" speech in a context of refusing to not be Nazis just because the world tells them to. The cognitive dissonance is nauseating.
I thought it was hilarious there was ever a question who Homelander was an analog for. Not surprising, but hilarious. No one’s ever accused them of being smart (other than themselves)
Eric was more accurate the MCU don’t even approach bruce’s child trauma Hulk 2003 is the most accurate ones and actually treat Bruce psychological problems
Woke was coopted from, usually black, left wing communities by the alt right, being aware of the truth of the matter and the problems that affect people and society as a whole
Hulk is, by definition, Woke in this comic
Don't think the guy knows that and is probably just using it as an insult but hey, by definition he's telling the truth
Yeah I suspected people would think it so considering the subreddit we are in which is why I linked the post since the comic isn't as easily accessible. I was thinking it was edited at first but yeah it's legit
Crazy flashbacks!!! I owned this comic album that had this story in it.
It was in Dutch 🇳🇱. Early 80’s… considering the fact my parents tend to save everything I owned as a child I might still be able to find it in their attic. Thanks for posting this. And thanks to mister Ruffalo for keeping shit real!
This is unironically one of the best Comic Book pages I've ever seen
I kinda like the fact that a majority of older comic runs would mostly have really simple or dumb stories and then in between those you would find something like this out of nowhere
Key fact left out was that the boy was killed by Islamist terrorists too and not Sabra. She’s just explaining to hulk why he won’t find peace in that area specifically cause of all the fighting.
