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

Interest in this movie was so low that they spent the last week trying to astroturf "MAGA outrage at Superman being an immigrant." No idea if that's actually what the movie is about, because like almost everyone else on the planet, I don't give two shits about this movie.
There's very little overlap between people who want Superman, and people who want James Gunn. For fucks sake, DC already tried this when they put Joss Whedon in charge of Justice League, and everyone thought it was shit. You'd think the acclaim the "Snyder cut" got (as undeserved as it was) would have clued them in, but nope.
The original Superman is certainly a model "immigrant"... assimilating to our culture, fighting for truth, justice and the American way, speaking English fluently, using his powers responsibly; and even in Clark Kent form you'd never catch him throwing a piece of trash on the ground, mooching off welfare or shitting all over the US talking about how great Krypton was.
He’s not even an immigrant, he’s a foundling adopted by a White American couple.
They technically falsified his birth records and citizenship and gave him a fake identity
