    Superman is not Hollywood IP. Superman is the creative product of two Jewish-American boys born to immigrant families who created an icon of human potential, of righteousness and justice and service to others, at a time when such Ubermensch ideas were being twisted and used by the Nazis in Germany to dehumanize people like Joe Shuster and Jerry Seigel. They made one of the most recognizable and beloved figures in the last century who remains relevant even now, more than 88 years after his first publication in Actions Comics #1. Hollywood has tried to co-op the character, sure, but it’s hardly ever done right by him. But the character has never just been limited to a silver screen.

            DC is a comic book publisher. How is that Hollywood? They’re owned by Warner Brothers now, which is a Hollywood studio, but that doesn’t mean that DC itself is Hollywood, or Superman. Also is an independent IP acceptable until they make a licensing deal for film rights?

            What sort of IP do you like exactly? Give me examples.

              that’s how they are hollywood.

              as to why they should be disliked? well pick your poison. it could be the the sexual assault stuff, the state propaganda stuff, the slop stuff, the copyright abuse stuff or the whole truckload of other stuff.

                Welcome to Capitalism? It sucks.

                Also you avoided my question. I assume because you’re being disingenuous and or a hypocrite. What IPs do you enjoy?
