[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 8909081, member: 67338"] This is why I think both All Star Superman, and Batman V Superman/man of steel have a place in the understanding of superman... even though they are VERY different (although my fav take is super dad from the dan jurgeons runs) IF you read superman comic's, you know he is the hero... you get a full 360 of his origins his powers his inner thoughts... so when Lex stands up and says "No one can be trusted with this power" we all know that is bunk... he can, cause he is the hero IF someone in the real world had 5% of that power the amount of oversight we would need of them would be insane... and we still couldn't ever fully trust them. However the show andrmoada has this great line "I trust Tyr to be Tyr" the capof the titular ship has a first amte who is at BEST lawful Evil (most likely closer to Neutral Evil) and can't be trusted to dot eh right thing cause it is teh right thing EVER... so why does the cap trust him? because as long as that NE 1st mate's best interest line up with the ship and crews best interest, he will do every and anything to get that interest protected. We can't trust WotC (or any company or any person we don't know super well) to just 'do teh right thing' unless that also aligns with there best interest. We do this because they want $$$ and the IP/brand to grow... so as long as they play nice we give them $$ by buying products and movies and such.... and we grow the IP/Brand by playing talking about and generally useing D*D. When/if they weaponize it we have to all stand up and say "We wont keep supporting you then" to force them to not. We already showed we can do this (this week) [/QUOTE]
