Why are people determined to hate this one? I assume our resident rightwinger is all over these threads dumping on it because Gunn is a Midwestern liberal and the movie frames Superman as an immigrant (which is funny).

But what about the human beings amongst us? Maybe you dislike it because it doesn’t have that super-dark, brooding, serious attitude all fantasy characters have to have to appeal to millennials/Zs/As? It’s like they’re afraid they’ll be seen as children if they’re seen watching ANYTHING that’s less that super-depressing.

That’s actually why I LOVE the look of this picture — that, and Gunn is the only director who doesn’t make comic book movies/TV that suck. For me anyway, GotG and his suicide squad are the only watchable comic movies, and Peacemaker was really fun. The show opening is deliriously entertaining.

This is an interview with David about getting cast as Superman. He talks about the phone call he got from James Gunn at timemark 6:00.

James Gunn says fuck you to MAGA and that their opinions don’t count. The team behind “Superman” is responding to the backlash after director James Gunn said the DC tentpole is the story of “an immigrant that came from other places.”

When asked about the reaction to his comments, James Gunn explained that the movie is for “everyone” and that he doesn’t have “anything to say to anybody” spreading negativity around “Superman.”

“I’m not here to judge people,” he told Variety at Monday night’s “Superman” premiere at Hollywood’s TCL Chinese Theatre. “I think this is a movie about kindness and I think that’s something everyone can relate to.”

Nathan Fillion, who plays Guy Gardner, aka Green Lantern, laughed off the negativity and kept his response brief.

“Aw, somebody needs a hug,” Fillion said. “Just a movie, guys.”

Sean Gunn, who plays Maxwell Lord in the film, stood up for his brother and emphasized that immigrants are integral to the fabric of America.

“My reaction to [the backlash] is that it is exactly what the movie is about,” he said. “We support our people, you know? We love our immigrants. Yes, Superman is an immigrant, and yes, the people that we support in this country are immigrants and if you don’t like that, you’re not American. People who say no to immigrants are against the American way.”

James Gunn made waves with his Sunday profile in The Times of London after he explained some of the themes and ideals embedded in “Superman.” He said that the film encompassed “the story of America,” and on a fundamental level, is about a man looking for a new life away from his homeland.

“I mean, ‘Superman’ is the story of America,” James Gunn said. “An immigrant that came from other places and populated the country, but for me it is mostly a story that says basic human kindness is a value and is something we have lost.”

The quote enflamed backlash from commentators online and drew the attention of conservative media outlets like Fox News, which deemed “Superman” “Superwoke.” Network anchor Kellyanne Conway said of the film, “We don’t go to the movie theater to be lectured to and to have somebody throw their ideology onto us.” Jesse Watters added, “You know what it says on his cape? MS13.”

Same thing goes for the fairlytale movies. How desperate they tried to make sleeping beauty “adult” and “menacing” and “brooding.” Why bother then? Just make an adult story.

I recall Wicked living up to the hype and breaking box office records.

I also recall the same concerted effort to tank the positive WOM reviews by bombarding every thread with cries of "shill!" and ludicrous predictions of box office doom, even as the film played to packed theaters week after week.

Ditto "Barbie" two years ago. The "big movie opening-->excited fans posting-->army of trolls screaming "shills'" pipeline is so fucking predictable now you could set your watch to it. Just laughably obvious trolling. We all see right through you.

Why, it's almost as if there is a strange sub-set of posters here who exist simply to post over-the-top negative takes about every film they dislike, even without ever seeing the film, even before it's even been released, while dismissing every positive review as "shills."
