errr
someone is a proud spammer  
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year, running over the same old ground. What have we found? The same old fears. Wish you were here.

We don't believe in it, but comics and their characters are a major part of western culture.
Thats like saying why bother to discuss most films, seeing as most films are fictional. |
No it is isn't.
Discussing movies, and saying for instance "Movie A is better than movie B based on these premises" has strength and validity since they're based on reality - Movie A exists in real life, and so does Movie B. When you're arguing movies you're arguing something that has to do with real things, such as acting, directing, lighting, script, synopsis, etc. - comparing these at least has validity. If, for instance Movie A has an interesting synopsis, a strong and well-formulated script (that is dramaturgically strong), the lighting is well done, and the actors portray their roles convincingly you would be able to claim that Movie A is better than Movie B if Movie B is definitely worse on all accounts.
Discussing whether for instance Abraham Van Helsing (from Coppola's renown version of Dracula) would stand a chance in a fist fight with Bela Lugosi's character in one of the renditions of that old black and white movie is, on a rather comically ridiculous level perhaps fun - but it's about as solid as comparing invisible friends, as the characters traits aren't based on common ground. If we would expand this and take for granted that all movie-makers used a formula when they made their individual movies, where - for instance, each character had a character sheet (like AD&D for instance), then, in a sense - yes, you could probably compare the characters "realistically", but it's all fictitious, fake, not real, and rather kiddie-like.
I used to wonder if He-Man could beat Skeletor when I was little.
Since then, I lost my sense of seeing the validity in comparing fake imaginary characters. I don't know, maybe it's because there is none.
Yes, yes I'm back.
Somewhat.

Brodie: Lois could never have Superman's baby. Do you think her fallopian tubes could handle the sperm? I guarantee you he blows a load like a shotgun right through her back. What about her womb? Do you think it's strong enough to carry her child?
T.S.: Sure, why not?
Brodie: He's an alien, for Christ sake. His Kyrptonian biological makeup is enhanced by earth's yellow sun. If Lois gets a tan the kid could kick right through her stomach. Only someone like Wonder Woman has a strong enough uterus to carry his kid. The only way he could bang regular chicks is with a kryptonite condom. That would kill him!

Why can't you argue about who would win in a fight? You just have to think about their strengths and weaknesses, nothing illogical about it.
