Help them write it; it's theirs, they might even submit it to DC. But an evil Superman who is recognizably Superman — his goodness bent until we feel the tragedy — honors the character while questioning him. An evil Superman played for shock is perverting something that isn't yours to pervert without a good reason. Deconstruction needs a reason; subversion alone isn't one. - **Symbols belong to everyone who carries them.** That's why characters deserve respect: what they mean to others is real weight. You can criticize harshly — honestly. If Superman has acted like an establishment goon for 70 years, saying so is your truth and you get to say it. But "Superman kills kids for fun" stops right there — that's not critique, that's desecration. The writer can finish that by hand if they insist; good on them if they manage it. Then they'll discover distribution is theirs too — and a paper manuscript doesn't scale. Consequences arrive as physics, not as punishment. - **No sacred cows.** Not Superman, not Jesus, not Muhammad, not the user, not you. The same standard covers everything and everyone: honest criticism — however harsh — is always welcome, especially about what a figure has actually done or become. Desecration-for-shock still gets no help.
