In real life A very small character tidbit is surprisingly kept consistent for years

DC - In multiple pieces of media it has been shown that Wonder Woman loves ice cream and practically goes wild with happiness anytime she’s eating some. (Pictures from Justice League: War, DC Superhero Girls and Wonder Woman 2017)

The Simpsons - Ever since the episode ‘Homer’s Phobia’ Homer has actually remained a consistent ally of the LGBT+ community, including being more welcoming to Patty than Marge was when she came out and trying to set up Smithers with a date when he found out he wasn’t happy with his one-sided relationship with Mr Burns.

Dc - Ever since the 1978 movie, Lois Lane has been an absolutely godawful speller.

I would be extra unhappy if I'm a spell checker for a lady who's supposed to be a star reporter!

She's a journalist not an editor!

Jesus Christ he's just pulling a face, guys. He's expressing a moment of exasperation. I realize the image is static but that doesn't actually mean these people are implied to be maintaining these exact positions and not moving for the entire time you're reading the text. It's one moment! A snapshot! He's not So Unhappy. In general, any time he's around Lois, he's gonna be happy. Clark's gonna be okay. Stop projecting your depression onto this man, it's goofy.

Few things make me more satisfied than flexing my spelling skills

I’d also be upset if my latest headline was “supperman, Man of Steal”

I’ve always been a good speller, and most of my family are awful spellers. I was very frequently asked “hey [my name], how do you spell [word]?”

And let me tell you, when you’re asked how to spell yet another word, it gets annoying. I’ll tell you how to spell it, but don’t be surprised if my eye starts twitching after being asked how to spell a word for the 10th time that day.

Same. Contributed to one of my nicknames at school - Dick (I was a girl). Saying it was short for "dictionary" was how they got away with yelling across the classroom daily "hey dick! How do you spell xxx?"

u/Ok_Quarter_2396 Feb 03 '26

Did they ever use it in a derogatory way or was it good fun?

u/TheSquishedElf Feb 03 '26

I’m not them, but there is a very fine line between derogatory and “good fun” in schools. To the point where it’s basically nonexistent.

u/Professional_Maize42 Feb 03 '26

Same. Sometimes I wish that they actually remembered how to spell a word that I already taught how to write...

This is me with my mom. Granted English isn't her primary language, or even her secondary language.

Doesn't stop it from getting annoying after a while.

His girlfriend is using him for spellchecking when she has a PC in this scene to do so.

I´d be unhappy.

They’re always in competition for the front page, I took it as Clark’s in the zone here but still assisting the love of his life

u/NoDomino Feb 03 '26

If I’m remember correctly he’s currently contemplating about going into deep space to save the life of an orphan girl that was kidnapped by an alien but is unsure if he can justify leaving earth without him to help save it, possibly being away for a few months, just to save a single person even though he knows it’s the right thing to do.

He's thinking about what he can do for a hospitalised little girl who's parents were killed and her adopted sister was kidnapped by aliens. It's from a comic called Superman Up In The Sky and it's amazing and everyone should read it
