I watched a recap and besides being "woke" it looks kinda bad.

Superman played second fiddle to his dog, gets called a bitch by Supergirl, and the Kryptonians were retconned into being 'evil' like the Viltrumite with that recording by Jor-El telling Kal to conquer Earth.
Wow
Yeah the evil Kryptonians seems a strange direction to take.
Were they all played by White actors? If so, that's probably the answer. I'm just guessing, though. I haven't watched it, and refuse to watch most Hollywood slop.
It's just a recording of the parents. They're the only Kryptonians shown
They did something similar with My Adventures With Superman, as if making Jimmy Olson black wasn't bad enough.
To say nothing of the gay robot and his gorilla lover.
The Brain and Monsieur Mallah are often depicted like that.
Lawl.. was supergirl getting dicked by jimmy?
Lois and Jimmy were high-fiving each other in the hospital after their pelvis reconstruction surgery.
Well that's lazy as shit, which shouldn't be surprising since it's James Gunn.
Just your typical modern language twisting everything so that whitey is a ‘colonizer’ and uses colonizing language.
It goes a bit further than that. Compare to the Reeves Superman meeting the recording of his father.

It's a message of hope, to remember what and who they were, for Superman to serve as a beacon of justice and above all else a plea to not use his great power to force his will on humanity.
Now compare to the Cavill Superman meeting his father scene.

A lot bleaker, it paints Krypton more as a technocratic dystopia, but it was still a message of hope, that Superman again acts as a beacon, not as a ruler.
Now, in this new one, the message of "conquer Earth and breed their women" was leaked by Lex Luthor on live TV, and there's glitches that make it seem like it was altered. So if there's a sequel it could very well be explained it's Fake News doctored by Luthor to turn the public against Superman, which is 100% something he would do. But that wasn't resolved in this movie, and all the shill geek sites are reporting it as matter of fact.
