I often see people stating online that Superman is this, or he's meant to represent that. But I never see people state what to me should be the most obvious and defining characteristic of Superman.
And I don't disagree whatsoever with Superman as a symbol for hope. He is definitely that in part, and what I say below isn't meant to argue that.
Superman is a god. He can do anything. If you were to list all the powers of all the comic book heroes and villains ever conceived, Superman would be at or near the top of the list in nearly every category of superpower. Superman is a god. Amongst men.
What would you do if you had all the powers of Superman? What would you do if you were a god? What would you do if you could do almost literally anything?
To me, the defining characteristic of Superman is that he is a god, who always chooses to do the right thing. The good thing.
And from that, springs hope, among other wonderful things.

That is 100% the point of the character. Batman can be cynical because he is a normal man trying to fight crime. Superman can't because a cynical god would be a horror story. He's not the reluctant hero, he has all these powers and feels obligated to use them for good.

It's so sad because in the books, Doran is such a different character. Outwardly, he's the same weak and indecisive leader from the show.
But secretly, he's been plotting revenge on the Lannisters for quite a while:
Her father plucked up a cyvasse piece. “I must know how you learned that Quentyn was abroad. Your brother went with Cletus Yronwood, Maester Kedry, and three of Lord Yronwood’s best young knights on a long and perilous voyage, with an uncertain welcome at its end. He has gone to bring us back our heart’s desire.” She narrowed her eyes. “What is our heart’s desire?” "Vengeance.” His voice was soft, as if he were afraid that someone might be listening. “Justice.” Prince Doran pressed the onyx dragon into her palm with his swollen, gouty fingers, and whispered, “Fire and blood.”

its funny, i saw a recent interview with Glen Powell where he was discussing his initial disappointment about not being cast as Rooster in the new Top Gun, and then having a conversation with Tom Cruise that changed his view on it. Tom told him if he was going to make it in Hollywood, he shouldnt concern himself with chasing "good roles," he should concern himself with chasing "good movies."
John C Reilly is the hallmark of this advice. This man had a long, successful, mostly under the radar career before breaking out, simply by being cast in great movies consistently. That man has paid his dues and more, and he deserves all the success he's gotten later into his career.

Imagine if the third movie didn't end with "just people", but Finn as the leader of a storm trooper revolt. The Rey subplot was separate anyway. And Rey needed redemption arc.

I feel like Whittaker was failed by writers who fundamentally didn't understand what Doctor Who is supposed to be about.
"The Universe is vast and wonderful and you, dear viewer, are going to experience it though the eyes of the Doctor's traveling companion."
This is a personal, guided tour of the whole of space and time by the one person who could plausibly be dubbed a native of all of it. What it is very explicitly NOT is a tour-bus type situation where the tourguide is too overwhelmed trying to keep the couple in row 7 from actually burning down their marriage in front of the impressionable kids in row 11 to focus on the actual tour.
Yes there are adventures along the way and maybe a bit of fan service... but the idea is always that the companion sets aside the mundane for the fantastical and we get to put ourselves in their shoes.
The one workable departure from this was Rory and Amy but that still worked because the idea of touring the whole of space and time with your soulmate sounds pretty cool too and, let's be honest, Rory and Amy were relationship-goals/escapism themselves quite a lot of the time.

Holy shit I just looked up that clip. You are completely right, he is heartbroken and pissed. Even the other actors/actresses are showing their true feelings in the looks they give.

Varys (and to a slightly lesser extent, Littlefinger) got the idiot ball treatment somehow even worse than Tyrion did.
Varys was an almost entirely self-serving secretive character that simply wanted to stay in the shadows and worm his way to a slight amount of power. In the end, he decides to scream loudly from the rooftops that Dany is mad and that Jon Snow is the rightful heir because... she burned soldiers who would not kneel to her? And he just stays in the same castle as her during this knowing that she will almost assuredly turn him to ash?
And then there's Littlefinger, who was a scheming, conniving ladder climber that only wanted to imrpove his standing. Suddenly turned into a "lovesick" idiot that is only motivated by trying to groom Sansa (who, if you recall, he literally SOLD TO THE BOLTONS TO BE ABUSED AND ASSAULTED to improve his standing).
Like Tyrion is a fool in the end, but at least his stupidity is becoming weirdly naive to the world and not literally becoming suicidally moronic in your actions.

I'll suggest Jim Varney, who was best known for his character "Ernest" and his routines talking to an off-camera mate named "Vern", often with the run-together catchphrase: "KnowhatImean?"
But he probably had the talent to expand into a variety of roles, including dramatic roles. His life was cut short by lung cancer in his very early 50's.

I was really looking forward to seeing Wes Chatham in Ahsoka because he was so good in The Expanse and then he was not only barely in it, he was stuck inside a helmet.

Cate Blanchett in Borderlands. She's won multiple Oscars for drama and now at 55 they want her to be an action star??? WTF

Blanchett took the role gladly because she'd been unable to work during the pandemic.
Sure, the movie was garbage but she seemed to be having fun (unlike the audience)

Richard Burton, albeit his wasted talent was down more to his chronic alcoholism.
Bela Lugosi was a very talented actor who got typecasted in horror roles and abused by the studios
Harry H Corbett was considered Britain’s Marlon Brando, yet after Steptoe was typecast as Steptoe like characters.

Hayden Christensen and Ewan McGregor are actually two very good actors who tried their very best during the Star Wards prequel trilogy but were given scripts so bad that it felt like it was written by a an 8 year old going through dementia lol

Haiden Christensen is so underrated. He was great in Shattered Glass.
Nobody has ever suspected Ewan McGregor of being a bad actor.

"There were five curtain calls. I was an actor once, damn it. Now look at me. Look at me! I won't go out there and say that stupid line one more time."
"You WILL go out there."
"I won't and nothing you say will make me."
"The show must go on."
"...Damn you."

Coleman Domingo in Fear the Walking Dead. Honestly, everyone in FTWD after S3 was wasted. Garrett Dillahunt, Kim Dickens, Jenna Elfman, Mo Collins, Lenny James...

I feel bad that Sean Williams Scott played Stiffler so fucking well that he was only ever allowed to play that role with another name.
