Nationalist propaganda capeshit gonna propagandise
More like Pooperman amirite?
this is going to be a steaming pile of American exceptionalism
Directed by James Gunn at least, so it won’t be totally awful.
I’m holding out hope that the “truth, justice, and the American way” shit might at least be a little ironic, but who knows. His other capeslop movies are pretty decent.
I hate superheroes I hate superheroes I hate superheroes
Hell, I’m a fucking turbo lib nerd super hero fan boy, and even I think this sounds like a shit lib af premise.
this sounds like a shit lib af premise
It’s beating that dead horse of “young people these days, so ridiculous because they care about things!”
that the fucking Brady Bunch movie tried some decades ago.
This Superman is going to kill so many people in the global south.
Well they did say “the American way”
The new lkorm isknt like htwo old normmm btw
WOkness chas gone too far
I am vberuy smart and nuanced dactually
truth, justice
American way
Sorry but you have to pick one
“Truth, justice and the American way” does in a way imply that the former two are not part of the American way.
I believe it’s going to be a very loose adaptation of this story.
Also don’t forget that for people in the US invoking “America” in this way is just so normalised for them to the extent that they don’t even know they’re being jingoistic. I don’t think these people are even conscious of how they come across.
If you’re going to make a movie about a superhero who has outdated values, you already have the perfect superhero for that in Captain America. Why Superman?
Funny answer: They gotta tap into the unironic Homelander fan demographic
Real answer: Marvel vs DC. Everything Marvel has to tie into the overly convoluted MCU and spawn 2-3 submovies
Captain America is Marvel. Superman is DC. …nah…its really not anymore complicated than that.
Captain America is owned by a different money-grubbing corporate Goliath
Tbh i think most people are over capeflicks that its probably gonna do meh at the box office either way.
The Kryptonian to crypto-fascist pipeline is real
Bit idea: Inframan: he’s an alien from another planet whose otherworldly origin makes him the only guy capable of doing some goddamn self-reflection
I already despised Man of Steel for the Snyderfication of the character. “Boo hoo I’m better than everyone else and the untermenschen resent me for that! Fortunately the military is actually really cool once they get to know me!”
This shit sounds like
tier “rant in car on Youtube” shit.EDIT: I should have said Snyder; mixed up my cryptofascists there.
Nolanization is underselling it, that was a Snyder movie who’s so much worse.
I mixed up my gen-X cryptofascist assholes. My mistake.
I think it’s going to be ironic, in a lib sort of way, where Superman discovers that America bad, and that some deep state shadow agency is colluding with a foreign entity, but then Superman saves the day and America becomes the good and true America that America was always destined to be.
If Superman doesn’t laser eyes everyone responsible for every bad thing america has ever done he’s definitely a lib
He laser eyes everyone in the Middle East instead, with tears in his eyes (and lasers), because the American way forces him to. 😔
This is the only plot that is ever allowed in lib slop that even remotely acknowledges that the something in the status quo might be bad.
It’s also close to the plot of Barbie lol. Barbie learns she’s problematic, but it turns it that nah she’s actually great.
It’s even in conservative shit, except for them it’s usually bad guy CIA vs good guy FBI, or something like that.
so, captain america? idk i know DC has had more trouble getting their Cinematic Universe together, but the ones they have released have been more thematically simplistic and straightforward than the MCU.
Awesome! They should make him wear the American flag on his back too, and always tell bystanders that “they’re the real heroes”.
It’s gonna have a banging soundtrack tho
