    This movie would be pretty cool if they didn't make Superman a lib and Stalin a villain. He should have destroyed Wall Street when he had the chance.

      In the movie the US tries to draw in Superman by dropping a deadly object from space and almost kills a bunch of people if it weren’t for Superman stopping it. And the US also starts a war with the USSR. But somehow the US is the good guy

      Also, the faults of some egomaniacal dictator is representative of communism entirely, but the faults of capitalism are portrayed as the fault of bad apples lol

        Isn’t the Berlin Wall analogue erected by capitalist nations this time around, as a means of “combatting the spread of communism”? Yeah…

      The potential of the premise dries up so quickly that it was hard for me to stay invested.

        I've been very hesitant to look up the original comic or watch the cartoon as I figure it'll start off sensible and descend into capitalist propaganda...my psychic damage resilience is pretty low nowadays
