I know the photoshopped but I don't get this one. It's not a creative play on their request for superman, Aquaman, and the flash

Yeah it is. Doctors are Supermen for obvious reasons. Firefighters are aquamen because water. Delivery people are The Flash because of fast 2 day delivery. What don't you get?

Yeah, I thought the joke in this one was weaker than usual too.

I guess Aquaman as a firefighter makes sense, and so does a Flash as a delivery man, but Superman as a doctor isn't as clear.

I understood it as just being that doctors are superheroes cause of the nature of their work, superman just being your most generic type of superhero. though the interpretation works better if it was a nurse imo.

I assumed it was because doctors save lives and that's kind of what Superman is known for even though that's not necessarily a specific trait

I guess X-Ray Vision? Yeah. It's a stretch.

X-ray vision maybe?

Yeah, if he just requested them to look like superheroes, it would be fine, but he requested specific ones.

Also, there's a person whose favorite superhero is Aquaman? Really?

I mean of you're too young to remember any earlier versions than Momoa and idk, you share some ancestry that you identify with or something, and you're not into reading the comics, then sure, I'm sure there are people who for some reasons prefer DC and then prefer Aquaman

I too find it improbable but I guess it is possible

Oh, right, Momoa made him actually cool.
