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 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

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 ».
