    These people don't understand Superman on such a basic and fundamental level. SUPERMAN IS REALLY FUCKING NICE! THATS A HUGE PART OF HIM! HE SYMBOLIZES THE BEST OF HIMANITY BY BEING AN ALIEN THAT DOES AS ONE GUY WHAT WE SHOULD ALL BE DOING AS A TEAM!

    I do think James Gunn does get this and honestly, it's not a bad fit for a director. It might be okay. Nothing will compare to the epic trilogy in my head. I've got a 20th century spanning full life story of superman that would probably be as long as the lord of the rings trilogy and cost 3 times as much, but dammit it would be fun and uplifting overall cause superman is supposed to be fun and uplifting.

      But then "Man of Steel" brought a bunch of Randroid "woe to the ubermensch for being too awesome, those resentful inferiors are afraid" bullshit to the character.

    So Hollywood is so deep into scratching the bottom of the capeshit barrel that they've arrived at adapting the silver age superdog cringe and the hogs takeaway is:

    curly fur dog = gayroller-2000 pronounjak-rage

    labrador = soypoint-1 homelander-alright soypoint-2

      Is it the fur or, like, a 40-something lb dog is woke because it's too small or whatever?

      They also already made an animated superdog movie. Somehow my kid didn't even want to finish it despite being super into pets and superheroes shrug-outta-hecks

    Spoilers for the Superman: The Animated Series episode The Late Mr. Kent:

    I've been watching the Superman animated series from the '90s, and in the episode The Late Mr. Kent, the whole plot centers around Superman trying to save some innocent black guy on death row who was framed with murder by some cop.

    Superman -- with the help of Lois Lane -- successfully proves it was the cop all along. At the end, the pig realizes Clark Kent was in fact Superman ... right before he is fucking executed via gas chamber.

    Gamergate won a little too well.

    But it just goes to show that conservatism is pure brainrot. As far as I’m concerned “woke” is as much of a brainrot term as “skibidi”.

      I've only ever heard skibidi online. Chuds choking on woke sadly bled into my material reality like a bad Chaos daemon.

        As a teacher I’ve heard skibidi a lot. For many kids they just see it as a fun nonsense word (although in a sense it is, because skibidi is supposedly a common phrase used in scat singing: Hence Skibidi Toilet.)

          I unironically thought the kids were re-discovering Scatman John the first time I heard about it
