oh the other funny things my friends said weren't really about the movie, when I got to the house after work and one asked me if I liked it, another cut him off and said

"the fuck you even asking Bandito for? you know damn well this nigga ain't liked any movie since he was a little boy. bro ain't liked shit since the bush administration. Plus it's superman, might as well ask a nun if she liked a porno with Jesus in it"

I told said "nah it ain't like that, it wasn't letting the house nigger in the big house, it was when they locked up my boy Harvey Weinstein they ruined hollywood" they asked what year he went to jail I told him 2018, and everyone unanimously was like holy shit youre right.

"Bro there has been almost 0 females worth looking at since then in anything and every movie has been gay or a message since. Just let that nigga rape, its for the greater good of art" had me dying. I don't know about the rape but maybe let him have work release or something.

James Gunn should have given the Superman movie to someone else and instead direct a justice league international movie, which is way more closer to his style of comedy and snark.

Bah why is only the old WB animation department can do superman justice?

Because they grew up with the Real superman and not constant deconstructions.

They understand what made Superman super...and it isn't his God Like powers.
 
Some of my normie friends saw the new Superman movie, and all of them hated it.

And my comic book reading friends who saw it hated it even more.

The biggest complaint I'm hearing is that it's an overstuffed, convoluted, and boring mess with constant unfunny jokes.
 
the fact Kryptonians are more fucked up wouldnt bother me, if Supergirl didnt exist. My problem is moreso, if they know each other well enough for him to dog sit, why has she never told him what their culture was like? I think it's sort of interesting that's probably why she has such an issue adjusting to Earth. But it shouldn't be any surprise to Clark because she'd probably have told him when they met how different attitudes are here with some specific examples.

If the implication is just Jor and Lara are fucked up, that's even weirder. and again Kara would probably tell him. and if they go back and retcon it, and it was like some space interference or something and actually isnt real in a sequel, it retroactively makes his lesson in this movie of accepting his adopted home more, even more retarded and a waste of time than it already was.

It sort of bothered me he kept saying that message was the reason he did what he did at all. It had nothing to do with him just wanting to help? Maybe his earth parents telling him he has the ability to help and so he should? The fuck does krypton matter? He's didnt know them. They're dead, who gives a shit what they wanted. He still had a family and presumably friends and everything else in his upbringing. It seemed so weird.

It should have turned people against him, but he shouldn't have been so beat up by it. He shoulda been like damn, thats fucked up. Oh well, I'm me and going to keep being me regardless, no sweat off my back.

Bah why can old WB animation department can do superman justice yet the live action ones keep fumbling the bag??? It's not that fucking hard.

Yep, would have preferred he make a movie about Booster Gold, you know, the guy that became a superhero because he wanted to get rich?

I wish that the movie ended by revealing that not Palestine actually was evil all along and maybe having them try to nuke the US, making Superman realize that not every victim is a good guy and that not every victim deserves divine protection.

If you're trying to draw Israel/Palestine parallels, that's just going immediately make people roll their eyes at the blatant Israeli propaganda. Especially after the last several weeks when mainstream was doing their best to bait the West into fighting Iran for Israel.
 
Watched it on the high seas due to peer pressure. Wanted to see all the others first but now I'll have to do it in reverse.

The war clearly gives off Israel/Palestine vibes; the only Russian/Ukraine likeness is superficial (old dictator, Russian-esque language). You have a horde of brown people being run down by a military force with superior technology, the Boravians have tanks and other vehicles while their opponents don't. I don't think you could have a stronger analogue for Gaza unless you're willing to show they've got hospital-hijacking terrorists in their ranks. As someone said earlier, they grill the shit out of Superman for interfering with foreign nations yet the Justice Gang gets to do whatever, even directly assassinate one side's leader. I have no faith there will be consequences to them for making this decision.

The movie has a very strange delivery on disasters. All the people sit around and take pictures and do whatever while a big fight is happening, and when the big disaster occurs there is no way everyone survived that, much less evacuated in time. It's a little cult-like since everyone seemingly has no self-preservation, and a little naive in that people would most certainly die if they're not trying to get in an underground bunker or anything. It's a miss that Gunn, in his obsession with cramming in extra characters, did not bother to add in metahumans assisting their escape near the end.

Superman's little Pajeet friend who got shot ("IT WAS A GREAT HONOUR TO HAVE YOU EAT MY FALAFEL, SOOPAARMAN SAAR!") made me think of this bit from Burnt Face Man.

It drove me up the wall just because of how Stupid it was.

"My son you can bring them hope.........BY TAKING OVER THE PLANET AND BREEDING THE SHIT OUT OF THE WOMENS!" *AIR HORNS*

Why is it that in the past 2 Supermen movies they had to spiritually rape one of his sets of parents?


Also fuck the dog, worst part of the movie. How is it that you made the Diversity Squad more tolerable than the non talking animal.
Also every scene with Lex is borderline unwatchable.


I don't think so, I think Supergirl is going to fucking suck.

T echnically that's been the case for the past three Superman movies since Superman Returns was one of the first cases of resurrecting and actor via CGI

Honestly the crowds stopping to film shit is one of the few things in this film that works for me because basically every tragedy has at least six or seven angles of cellphone footage. Shootings, natural disasters, plane crashes, etc. People just stop and film.

I've unironically been saying this for years. Harvey Weinstein did nothing wrong. We had Piranha 3D from Harvey. That movie was his magnum opus. Big boobs. Bitches and boobs. Piranhas and blood and gore and schlock, but attractive fucking women. What do we have now? Fucking Brie Larson with a CGI'd ass. If Harvey Weinstein were still in charge, Rachel Zegler would be slobbing on a wein knob and squealing like a pig for the desperate hope she gets chosen for a voice over role for the singing portions of the Snow White starring A Hotter Actress.
 
Hawkgirl killing Netanyahu was hilarious and cringe because you know Gunn thought he was being so edgy.

I’ll laugh if this gets James Gunn fired again and not him still inviting his sex offender buddy on his movie sets.

She’s actually being perverted into Swift, another Authority member. Literally the same character but edgy.

You can tell they’re scared to roll out “those two” from the Authority.

His fight scene was exactly what I was hoping for, and it was really cool seeing his spheres used tactically and aggressively

I liked Mister Terrific, but let's be brutally honest. His big cool fight scene? That was just James Gunn doing Yondu again.


Single guy walks casually through a group of enemies that seemingly hopelessly outnumber him, while something flies around chaotically, picking them off like flies.

Seen it before, James. Do something else.
 
Just saw Superman… it was mid as hell.

Also, I was actually shocked by how blatant the pro-Palestine message was. This is a major blockbuster film that is doing the work of pro-Hamas radicals. Unbelievable Warner Bros were okay with this!

this is my biggest problem with the movie. It totally took me out to an extreme degree. I agree that people do always film disasters and shit, but the extreme lack of fear made me irrationally angry. I get it's the DC Universe so shit like this happens constantly, but it was so obviously just trying to be the opposite of Man of Steel it basically ruined the whole movie for me. It would have been so much better if we had something where during those scenes, it felt a little more MoS not quite as far with the disaster movie stuff, but Superman actually saving people from what FEELS like certain death. Instead I got absolutely nothing from any time he saved people because it didn’t have any weight to it. what did I give a fuck? It had less weight when skyscrapers toppled then Lana's retarded kid almost getting killed by farm equipment in Superman 3.

Look at Hulk 2. When people are filming Hulk fighting on the college campus it's like a wannabe journalist version of Jack Mcgee being like HOLY SHIT THERE'S THE HULK HE'S SMASHING SHIT LOOK AT THIS! if it was people like HOLY FUCK LOOK! SUPERMAN IS FIGHTING GODZILLA'S GAY SON it'd have went a long way for me.

Well, I don't necessarily disagree but this isn't really what I was talking about myself lol. I do miss babe movies but look at all his credits, he had something to do with almost every movie I've ever liked made after 1990. I think just how deep in Hollywood and how notorious he was for controlling cuts of movies he produced (which was for better in some cases and for much worse in others) he was just good at sifting through people for actual talent with actors, directors, writers and projects. then after working with him they went off to continue to have talent. he had a great eye for knowing what actual normal people want from a hollywood movie, whether whoever made it was forced to suck and fuck him off for it or not. he made a lot of pandery political Hollywood liberal shit too but it was so much less offensive than the crap they shit out into the mainstream this decade hes been out the window.

I decided to check out Tom King's Supergirl comic (the first DC thing I've read in full since the bait and switch wedding) and I'm shocked that the alcoholic Kara thing isn't something Gunn came up with. Tom King really is the master of character assassinations, isn't he. Total sandnigger death can't even make up for this shit.
Click to expand...
Tom King sucks but this is a retarded take. It's not character assassination for the plot of your story to have a character going and getting drunk on their 21st birthday. are you a fucking nun? youve never gotten drunk? especially for a birthday or celebration? I actually think that book is probably the best thing he's put out at DC it's less offensive than everything else he does, but even if I didnt think it's not bad, this is a huge stretch. keep reading it, there's actual things to complain about that aren't retarded later on. It's more offensive in the movie where it's implied she does this constantly and has been.

The thing with the Hawkgirl killing Notenyahu for me is that they have the whole gag with Superman rubbing the dude up against a cactus threatening him not to fuck with the Palestinians

According to Notenyahu that didn't actually happen (it probably did) but I think a lighter and more fun comeuppance for that character would've been a cactus scene.

Even if it wasn't Superman doing it but one of the other characters. I think it would've at least got a chuckle out of me.

Just dropping the dude to his death felt both underwhelming and nonsensical

To be honest, knowing James Gunn's sensibilities, it almost certainly would have been Putinyahu getting a cactus up his ass.
I think we were spared.

Also, do cactuses even grow in the Middle East? I associate them much more with American deserts. I admit, I could be wrong.
