He may have been a jerk in the comic books. Never read 'em. I'm talking about the TV show a couple years back--that Clark Kent was compassionate, intelligent, and sincere--not something you find every day. He was a bit of a geek, too, which I always find strangely endearing.

But enough about my dream guy. Blah blah blah. I just wanted to clarify which Clark Kent I was talking about.

And you're right, e, about the negative connotation for "nice." I'll try to use more descriptive synonyms.  ;)

He wasn't really a jerk in the comic books. There were just a huge number of absurd and horribly, horribly written comic books between 1950 and 1990. Not that comics are free of that today, but it does happen less often, as comic creators have gotten a better grip of their own genre's conventions and what the fans actually *want* to see.

If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

One wonders why it took them so long to figure that out.

Wow, was that an actual issue?

If so, that's just sad.
