>> RIP, Chris <<
More like "BURN IN HELL, Chris." Well, not quite. I can't wish that on anyone, but...
Victimhood does not make one a hero. Christopher Reeves was a truly perverted, venomous, Stalinist bigot who hated everything FR stands for, and who had not a shred of honesty. He was not the real Superman. He was a spectacularly untalented actor who was luckily given a role in a (great) movie which required only modelling talent. The Superman role he actually helped to create (Superman IV: the Quest for Peace) was a wretchedly awful, Phil-Donahue fantasy that the makers of the new Superman simply pretended never existed. (The new Superman is an alternate ending to the original Superman trilogy, also ignoring the also-terrible Superman III.)
Christopher Reeves was a vain, shallow man, whose attributes were only birth and looks. When deprived of his natural fortune by tragedy, he became exactly the sort of man who superheroes protected the world from, if only he had the genius to create superpowers for himself.
