The new Superman is sitting at $500M box office with a $225M budget. Looks like it's going to be a loss (en.wikipedia.org)

I don’t think that’s why the movie’s failing or bad, though that is bad. I actually heard it’s not particularly woke in that way. It’s more that it’s not really a Superman movie. He spends most of the movie getting beat up it seems. I think at one point he cries or something.

The point of DC superheroes is to have someone to look up to. Superman is about American values being enacted with unlimited power, but they didn’t even really make him very super from what I heard in the reviews, so the American values part is the least of the film’s problems. On top of all that, people say it’s just very mediocre, and James Gunn does what he usually does and made it closer to another Guardians of the Galaxy movie, only he didn’t even do that end well.

I hear it’s not even bad, it’s just entirely forgettable.

Superman is about American values

And he is being beaten up, crying, weakened and mocked.

Sounds about right, really.

And his origin story of parents who sacrificed themselves to save their son so he can live a life where he selflessly protects those who took him in was replaced with a mandate of conquest and demographic replacement. There's still a distinct possibility that in the sequel it'll be retconned that Lex Luthor deepfaked that message to slander Superman, but the access media are all treating it as legit for now.

So we've come full circle and now Superman is just a copy of Goku.

Worse, Goku is now more Superman than Superman.

Does he take a knee for BLM and put his kids in a drag show to be "progressive" too?

Blah blah blah you dont like Superman you like the post modern version of him that Snyder and his ilk present. He quite clearly held back the majority of the movie and most of it was about his internal struggle with knowing he was doing the right thing. Superman gets his ass kicked alot but always wins. That's one of the core parts of his character. This idea that he's some all powerful god that never struggles in a fight is new. It's why he used to randomly come up with goofy ass new powers. He fought himself with Luthor's brain and held back until the population wasnt threatened and he was sure he wasnt doing the wrong thing out of hubris. Synder should be drummed out of the industry for the damage he's done to Superman
