What does that even mean? What exactly were they saying was him trying to be only Smallville? His refusal to kill? His morals? What, exactly?

NAYRT

Um, I think they're just saying embracing all elements of his heritage makes him more fully himself. I think many people of mixed heritages or nationalities can relate to that.

[(Anonymous)]

This.

[philstar22]

That sounds cool. But given the picture chosen for the secret, and the phrasing (holding him back sounds like he thinks he's being restrained in some way), it at least sounds like it relates to the way he's a kind person, refuses to kill, generally has moral believes that cause him to use his powers in some ways and not in others.

[(Anonymous)]

It seems more like you are trolling and trying make it into a Snyder cut thing, because that isn't what is coming across at all.

[philstar22]

Maybe I'm misreading the secret. To me the wording holding him back sounds like they think he's being restrained in some way. Wasn't thinking of Snyder, more thinking about general idea that floats around in the DC fandom that Superman is boring and needs to be spiced up in some way.

But if that's not what is meant, then I'm sorry, I misread.

[(Anonymous)]

I read it the same way you did, if that helps.

Contrarian Anon continues to be contrarian, agrees with trolling contrarian.

[(Anonymous)]

ffs, Phil's not a troll. She just has notoriously bad reading comprehension.

[(Anonymous)]

This. I think that Phil and the anon who read it the same way aren’t reading the secret the way OP intended. But to call them trolls over this? That’s dumb. Reading tone and intent over text can be hard for people sometimes. But some people struggle even more with it. I’m one of those people. I just didn’t read the secret the way Phil did, and disagreed with her interpretations. But that was it.

[(Anonymous)]

That's very much your interpretation, I guess. I see a picture of Superman punching a guy with a swastika on him. And tbh, I don't think of small-town values when I think of anti-Nazi/KKK activity. But I do think of the fact that the creators of Superman were Jewish and were deliberately using his status as an immigrant to reflect their own experiences.
