Is Superman actually one of the worst things to happen to storytelling? Can a character who’s basically perfect, god-like, and invincible ever make for a good narrative? In this provocative and playful discussion, Leon, a psychologist and lifelong movie lover, will attempt to prove that the beloved Superman might actually be a lazy piece of writing—a character so flawless that he makes true storytelling nearly impossible. We’ll explore who he is, why he’s so worshipped in Western pop culture, and how his lack of flaws and inner conflict strips away the tension and humanity that make stories meaningful. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or can’t stand capes and spandex, you’ll find fresh insights into what really makes a hero compelling—and why perfection is storytelling’s ultimate villain.

Together, we’ll watch key Superman scenes and break down what works, what doesn’t, and what this character’s overwhelming popularity says about the Western imagination. Leon will guide a witty and intelligent debate about the psychology of storytelling, the power of imperfection, and why the best heroes might not be the strongest—but the most human. Love him or hate him, Superman has shaped how we think about good and evil, strength and vulnerability, and even ourselves—and this session will make you see him in a whole new light.

超人真的是讲故事中最糟糕的角色吗？一个几乎完美、无敌的角色能讲好故事吗？在这场引人深思又带点玩味的讨论中，心理学家和电影爱好者 Leon 将尝试证明，备受喜爱的超人其实可能是个懒惰的写作产物——一个完美到几乎没有缺陷的角色，导致真正的讲故事几乎变得不可能。我们将探索超人这个角色的本质，为什么他在西方流行文化中如此受到崇拜，他缺乏缺点和内心冲突的特点又是如何剥夺了让故事有意义的张力和人性。无论你是超人的死忠粉，还是无法忍受披风和紧身衣的超级英雄迷，你都会从中获得全新的见解，明白到底什么才是让英雄充满魅力的关键——而完美可能才是讲故事的终极敌人。

我们还会一起回顾一些超人经典场景，分析哪些方面做得好，哪些不好，这个角色的超高人气又折射出西方人想象力的哪些方面。Leon 将引导一场机智且深刻的辩论，聊聊故事讲述的心理学、缺陷的力量，以及为什么最好的英雄可能不是最强的，而是最有人性的。无论你爱他还是恨他，超人塑造了我们对善与恶、力量与脆弱，甚至对自我的认知——这次讨论会让你对他有全新的理解。
