Marvel fans definitely made sure to incite a smear campaign but no- Superman fans really are just that level of stunted and distilled manchildren who never grew up with the character- that’s why all the modern Superman writers suck because they only recognize the character as the concept they absorbed as a child: the perfect strongman who’s pure in all ways- aka Jesus with lasers.

Literally no other comic fans care when their guy or girl kills in other adaptations, scarlet witch fans were practically rooting for Wanda to end Dr Strange in his own film.

Superman fans cannot disassociate themselves with the character and that’s why he’s not allowed to be cool, if Clark messes up or does something morally grey or questionable then they see it as they’ve done that themselves, and now they can no longer believe in the g*d they’ve constructed

It’s idol worship
