Superman is a character who isn't limited by what he can do And in my view that's terrible for creativity, art, and problem solving.
To each their own, though.
I picked Superman because it's a quick, easy example you might get in an introductory writing class.
Being a super powered alien makes it challenging to care about. Further removing the chase for glory, relatable adversity, leaves not much of an arc or hero's journey. I've brought up this same notion of a flat structure in regards to recent handling of Star Wars. Applies both to overall story & characters too.
Be it Superman, Hulk Hogan, Major Kusanagi, doesn't matter. My disinterest in low stakes, self-indulgent, easy-mode characters isn't changing.
