Just trying to make a point

I hate superhero stories, but I would watch the shit out of this.

This is where the message isn’t getting through. Comics are a medium, they could be used to tell any stories.

Captain America: The Winter Solider was a pretty decent espionage thriller. Until the end where it turned into a giant CGI fight.

Shang Chi was a pretty decent martial arts film. Until the end where it turned into a giant CGI fight.

So this would probably be a pretty decent slapstick comedy. But under current management, I guarantee the end would turn into a giant CGI fight.

Metropolis is in the United States & Clark Kent is a US citizen, therefore the CIA cannot touch him. They just informally encourage the FBI to keep an eye on him.

The CIA being completely fooled by the pair of glasses would be a pretty good take for a show series.
