So anyway, potential conspiracy theories to use in this (they're all connected, btw. How? Good question...):
"The Girl Scouts are responsible for the crop circle phenomenon. Anyone who is in the presence of a crop circle or sees a picture of a crop circle will get a sudden urge for Thin Mints."
"Abraham Lincoln put the hit out on himself. He gave Booth a gun with a false bullet. Lincoln did it so he could lead the civil rights movement in Brazil."
"Boy bands are all androids that live in captivity between concerts and interviews, made by large corporations to brainwash girls from the ages of 8 to 16 into hormone-driven zombies."
"Red M&Ms are the most prevalent in advertising M&Ms. This is because Red is an analog for Communism, and the advertisements subtly convince the viewers that Communism is better than Capitalism, in this case Blue who is the least advertised M&M."
"The Moon Landing in 1969 was faked. It was directed by Stanley Kubrick, who almost blatantly admits his involvement in the 1980 film The Shining. This was done in order to intimidate the Soviets." (probably the least outlandish, mostly because it's an actual conspiracy theory)

"When I eat my Smarties, I eat the red ones last."

"Canadians bag their milk as they know that the plastic used for jugs contains subtle mood enhancers to change the perception of reality."

"Wow, who knew saying crazy but plausible stuff could be so much fun! But seriously, why do they bag their milk?"

she doesn't want to live in Superman's shadow, that always seemed like a trait of insecurity to me

You know how some societies elders are revered or whatever. She is from thousands of years before him. In her time elders were revered. He should be living in her shadow.

then why is girl power a thing?

Just because some women are vain and refuse to except they are no longer girls doesn't mean squat.

Also, what the actual fuck is everyone else doing? Fucking bags of milk? That's just weird.

History remembers Alexander the great and not his ancestors

The whole argument seems irrelevant since she would be aware she was held in cryo-stasis for however long therefore while she's from a time before, she hasn't actually lived longer or accomplished more than Kal. Logic dictates that she should actually recognize Kal as the superior in this particular situation.

Fuck Alexander the Great.

Not how Kryptonian society worked in her time. Which you know absolutely nothing about. So how can say what logic would dictate?

When Kara looks at Kal she doesn't see a Kryptonian she sees an Earthling, a Terran, whatever you want to call people of Earth. He has the biology but he isn't a Kryptonian. To her he is just a another farm boy who just happened to develop super powers. No different than any other human.

Hell he may not even have been born on Krypton, see Justice League Gods & Monsters or one of its shorts for an example. If I remember it right.

... Why are we arguing about this again?

@Member 00492

When will we be starting?

Beats me.

Fuck Alexander the Great.

I mean your argument just completely changed to tones of racism but since this discussion is bothering other players, I will drop it.

@Lord Wraith
It's not really bothering me, I'm just genuinely curious why Weird Tales' question turned into an argument about whether Kara should view Superman as her elder or not, and eventually it turned to Alexander the Great and racism.

I mean, I was mostly trying to understand the mentality because I couldn't see how Kara could justify herself.

Can't leave you kids alone for five minutes... Lol

I gotta run some errands then drop my son off at his grandmas. Then I'll have this evening to work on the IC...

And I finally posted in the thing too

Every single day there is/are:
Multiple murders
Armed conflict
Numerous rapes
Humans are polluting the planet
Commercial sacrifice of animals (I personally quite enjoy that one especially chicken)
Whatever atrocities I didn't bother to mention.

Compared to Krypton Earth is a backwards hick planet of destruction and barbarism.
