Tell that to the ones who fought in WWII,

Well it’s understandable. Brian Braddock no longer drinks so he’d hardly meet a barfly hero.

I’ve seen Judge Dredd handle some pretty powerful opponents… My general opinion, however, is that the Brits like a hero who can out-think an enemy & Americans like a hero who can beat the stuffings out of an enemy. So we think they’re wimps and they regard our heroes as stupid thugs.

Emma Peel was never wimpy…

[nerd alert] There’s an actual DC comic called ‘Superman -True Brit’ where baby Kal-El lands in England and is adopted by a family too embarrassed of what the neighbors will think to let him use his powers.

Written by John Cleese.

Tell that to Alfred Tennyson, Rudyard Kipling and James Bond; Captain.

And, the SAS would beg to differ… ☺

Yeah – Spiderman should be Amercian as well. American has a robust training for thespians. Why give quentessential roles to UK actors? Will there be an Amercian play Doctor WHO ? I think not. Harry Potter? No. Then why our heroes. Although I admit Daniel Day-Lewis was the PERFECT fit for playing Lincoln.

These days, Clark would be rounded up and deported.

They do realize that Supes is half Canadian don’t they? >

The British aren’t wimpy. They held off the Germans by themselves until America could come to their aid. And at least the Brits aren’t total ingrates like the French.
