SUPERMAN by James Gunn (OUT now)

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

What are you even talking about? My post was very clear

It's not that hard to understand. You're one of the only people anywhere I've seen with this take. Nobody else cares. MAGA thinks the movie is out to get them. You're one of the only people who thinks Superman would currently be viewed as a dangerous immigrant after the 3+ years of heroism.

That is why I said you are just talking just to talk...

Yup, the point Lois was trying to make was that Clark giving himself fluff interviews made him unprepared to answer tough questions and that he wasn’t really thinking about the consequences of his actions.

Yes and in the process she made Clark look like a big whiny baby

I'm far from the only person to bring this up. Many Superman fans are upset about the Jor-El message being real and the implications that has. That's why James Gunn was asked about it in the interview.

Check YouTube, Twitter, and Reddit, and you'll see that many Superman fans don't like the change.

Kryptonians believing humans are inferior and backwards is fine. Kryptonians believing in conquest & racial supremacy is NOT fine.


According to this comment, Gunn says there's no more to the story:

I hate this and don't know why Gunn is doing this. It's very common in Gunn's projects for him to make biological fathers trash and adoptive fathers good/better than the bio fathers.

I never thought that he would do this with Superman and Jor-El

Is what it is. I doubt it is about conquest but they know sending their son to a universe with the yellow sun will make him physically superior than anyone else. I doubt they know earth politics or think we are even advanced to do it properly. Having Kal El rule over us is probably seen and a win-win for both parties to them

I saw it in the same way people interpret the Bible’s language in multiple ways

We have dominion on the fish, birds, and living creatures. Some people don’t think that mean dump your pollution into fresh lakes and skies. Others think it means yeah our consideration come before all other creatures.

Nothing Jor-el says is beyond what could be considered for someone thinking their child would be “above” all other life. Jor-el didn’t know Green Lanterns and Metaphoros would exist.

Yes, so many so that the weekdays have been strong and the weekend is likely to do about $57M another great hold. Nobody in the U.S. is looking at any of what you or the MAGA people are talking about

Are you OK?

You're randomly mentioning the box office for the movie when nobody was talking about that. Also, you can like a movie and still criticize certain things.

I have already said that I like the movie. The Jor-El message is still a stupid decision by Gunn. it's not hard to understand.

Did you take your medicine this morning? There's nothing random about it. The box office in the U.S. and the Postrak analysis and letterboxd, etc. are what determines whether a movie has good word of mouth here or not. You're saying "many" Superman fans are up in arms over the change to his parents and I'd need to see more evidence than "look at what some YouTubers are saying" to say that's an accurate statement.

Final scene with the Iggy Pop song playing was chefs kiss

Loved it. James Gunn has cracked the code on making Superman interesting.

Now, I have to wonder if you're mentally all there, breh. I'm sorry, but your lack of comprehension skills is sad

The one your probably referring to always does this tactic

Always talks numbers that don’t mean anything

Then twists the situation around to make the other person look like the bad guy he does this all the time in TSC it’ll be better to put his weird ass on ignore

Your lack of comprehension skills are sad. You lost the plot a long time ago in here and it's reminding me of some of your outrageous takes in Higher Learning. Now I'm remembering why nobody really wants to engage with you in there.

I agree, I like the concept of the Lois interview scene but for someone that is supposed to be 30 and with a career as a journalist he came across as very naïve and him being on duty for only 3 years is a weak excuse.

That was the perfect scene to have Superman show off his journalistic skills.

Have him drop facts that you can tell he's dug up about the nation and leader to counter what Lois was saying.

Instead you get - "You know that's very silly!" "you believe them of all people?" "they're not well intentioned!"

All Lex really had to do was get this Superman to be interviewed and he would have folded

What? None of this makes sense nor is relevant to the conversation.

You need to get some help, breh. Very sad to see
