Superman Isn't Jesus 2

Описание: Superman isn't Jesus. Some people disagree. This video gets into why some of these disagreements aren't particularly strong arguments - like the viewpoint that the DCEU's habit of Christ symbolism & typology are actually intended to represent the human perspective of that world, or the idea that the broadly Hebrew ring of the name Kal-El somehow justifies Jesus allegories.

A note on Jor-L / Jerome Siegel: The source for this claim is Danny Fingeroth's book 'Disguised as Clark Kent: Jews, Comics, and the Creation of the Superhero', circa page 45, but I couldn't get my hands on a copy of this - all versions I found online were either too expensive or too far away - so this is something of a secondary reference, taking Robert Revington's use of Fingeroth on page 38 of this thesis: https://macsphere.mcmaster.ca/bitstre...

Superman is a superhero who appears in American comic books published by DC Comics. The character was created by writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster, and debuted in the comic book Action Comics #1 (cover-dated June 1938 and published April 18, 1938). Superman has been adapted to a number of other media, which includes radio serials, novels, movies, television shows, and theatre. Superman was born on the fictional planet Krypton and was named Kal-El. As a baby, his parents sent him to Earth in a small spaceship moments before Krypton was destroyed in a natural cataclysm. His ship landed in the American countryside, near the fictional town of Smallville. He was found and adopted by farmers Jonathan and Martha Kent, who named him Clark Kent. Clark developed various superhuman abilities, such as incredible strength and impervious skin. His adoptive parents advised him to use his abilities for the benefit of humanity, and he decided to fight crime. To protect his personal life, he changes into a colourful costume and uses the alias "Superman" when fighting crime. Clark resides in the fictional American city of Metropolis, where he works as a journalist for the Daily Planet. Superman's supporting characters include his love interest and fellow journalist Lois Lane, Daily Planet photographer Jimmy Olsen and editor-in-chief Perry White, and his enemies include General Zod, Brainiac, and his archenemy Lex Luthor. In Man of Steel Clark learns about the source of his abilities and his real home when he enters a Kryptonian ship in the Artic. However, an old enemy follows him to Earth in search of a codex and brings destruction.
