Michael Burnham is the Chosen One

My assumption is that Archer didn't pick up the tagline of "Greatest Explorer", till after he brought the NX-01 back mostly in one piece at the end of his tenure as Captain.
We only hear that kinda thing from Daniels during the show and he's from the future anyway.
That list of greatest captains Saru looked at was incomplete. The top entry for Captain Robau burns with such intensity and awesome bright light that it was outside of Saru's range of vision. Looking at Robau's name for too long has been known to break lesser (i.e. everyone) starfleet officer's careers from a sense of unworthiness and lowered self esteem.

I do feel that list was incomplete. I wish they had made it much longer and included Erika Hernandez, Bryce Shumar, Garth of Izar, and Garrovick. Perhaps adding one of the ENT cast: T'Pol, Mayweather, Shran, or Reed. And if they had been able to do so, Edison, Marcus, and Robau. And also create some new characters to throw in there.
 
A loud minority
The show's audience is tiny, so playing the numbers game in this case is inconsequential.
One, not a dude.
It's a bit smaller than you think or try to claim. ;) It only seems to be unreasonable manchildren with major insecurity issues projecting their own hurt feelings onto Superman, which is laughably absurd. No one else cares or finds the pathetic reaction from a small whiny minority to be a good source of humor.
:rolleyes:

LOL. Sounds like someone took that way too personally. Amusing how you're constantly bringing masculinity and gender politics into the discussion when it isn't even relevant. I'm perceptive enough to recognize why. Let's avoid throwing stones at others for supposedly projecting.

If you actually watched the video, gender politics isn't even a reason behind why the Superman portrayal was so cringe. Take another look.

Given your posting history, I’d say you were the one with issues, especially regarding women with any hint of authority or status over a man. Like this thread here that you started because the female main character of a show is treated like a main character of a show. I’d call it a bit of an obsession since this is all you seem to post about. Talk about projection.

I’m not wasting anymore of my time with garbage. Goodbye.
 
I saw BATMAN V SUPERMAN. If what CW did to Superman is hate, then what Zack Snyder did was strap Kryptonite to Superman, tie him up in a rope connected to a pick up truck then drove around for nearly three hours, within them making a pit stop to shoot Jimmy Olsen in the head.
 
He’s upset that Supergirl is about Supergirl instead of Superman. That emasculates him somehow, despite being a fictional character and clearly at ease with the events of the show.
 
Maybe he'd like an adaptation of the Lois Lane comics from the 50s, only the show would retain the misogynistic attitudes of the 50s where the punchline is always the same at the end: "LOL, women, amirte?"

Not at all. You're still projecting your gender politics onto this thread unnecessarily. No one even brought up gender in this discussion until your little rant. Sounds like you're the one with the axe to grind.

Doesn't change the fact that your opinion on Superman in Supergirl is wrong.
Opinions don't work that way. Besides, 5000 likes there. There's plenty of room for debate on this one.

Cool. I agree the Snyder Superman was terrible as well, for completely different reasons.


LOL. I've seen worse.

Zack Snyder once commented that he thought Batman Begins “wasn’t that dark”, because he said if he made it he would have had Bruce raped in that Asian prison he was in.

Zack Snyder (and by extension..WB) are the biggest reasons that the DCEU is a joke.

Thankfully we got The Dark Knight in 2008 by Nolan. That was good enough.

I got a good laugh out of the terrible Martha scene in BVS. It's sad they've screwed up their two most iconic flagship characters, but this decade seems to be the MCU's time to shine.
