DC Cinematic Universe ( The James Gunn era)

I'll see this when it dies down a bit. Meanwhile, I chuckle at the fan responses which almost always go to an extreme. This is either the best motherf'king Superman movie ever or the biggest POS ever made.

That's every movie, TV show and video game now. It's all about hot takes. A movie has to be either 4 stars or 1 star. 2 and 3 stars no longer exist on social media.
 
I imagine it'll be somewhere in the middle and will be a fun night at the movies.

If that is all it is, I'll take it. Something positive to go out and see with my wife and daughter and her husband.

Best way to get legitimate sampling is to eliminate all the ones and all the tens and aggregate from there.

I usually take out the 9's and 10's and the 1's and 2's. Generally works for me.

It's because they're playing up the immigrant angle for Superman.

No, it's because the immigrant angle is an intrinsic part of any Superman story and always has been. It doesn't need to be played up, it's simply there. After all, Superman's creators were the children of Jewish immigrants, as were Bill Finger, Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and other Golden Age comics creators. Superhero comics are inextricably linked to the immigrant experience.


Some people go out of their way nowadays to find something in everything to slap "woke" on, be it terminally online-types and / or folk who get a whiff of anything remotely left-leaning.

"Woke" just means awake, aware of the truth, aware of our responsibilities to one another, alert to the forces that endanger us. People who demonize wokeness do so because they gain their power from deception and want the public to be ignorant and easily led.
 
I'm pretty sure my mom and I will be going to see the first showing Friday morning. I don't really do evening showings, and I want to try to see it as soon as possible, so I can avoid having it spoiled. It's either that or I have to avoid all media until I see it, since even the TV ads have started including spoilery stuff just a day or two after it's out.
 
I've seen exactly 3 James Gunn movies, all with "Guardians of the Galaxy" in the title. First one was amazing. I didn't like the second at all. The third was am emotional ride but being an animal lover, some of it was unbearable and I can't see myself going back to it. But it was better than the second.
I thought the third was highly overrated beyond the tearjerker animal content.
and an honest reporter.
The most unrealistic thing about the character.
 
Just wait until Dean Cain complains about how Hollywood wokeness ruined Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman by casting a part-Japanese actor to play Superman.
Cain is a douche.

Not just a douche, but an idiot, too. He played the character for four years and has lived off of the convention circle based on playing that character ever since, and in all that time, he never noticed the obvious.

He has to play to his audience, which are the people who watch crappy low budget faith-based movies. Hell, Fox News even went after Mr. Rogers once.

Have you seen the actor/director roundtables on YouTube where you have Denzel Washington, Andrew Garfield, Kristen Bell, Jennifer Lawrence, Diego Luna, etc. discussing their own and each other's movies and TV shows? Imagine what a Dean Cain, Kevin Sorbo, Scott Baio, Ricky Schroder, Antonio Sabato Jr., Kirk Cameron roundtable would be like. :eek:
 
If Gun's remark about Superman being an immigrant triggers them, just wait a week or two when they find out the silver surfer is a woman. ;)

I'm not worried about any of this. The reviews have been good from those that have actually seen it. Both from professional critics and even online critics. That's all that ever matters. A tiny minority trying to stir up a hornets nest means nothing.

For the record, I only recall the "Truth Justice and the American Way" line being said once by an actor in a Superman outfit and it was from Christopher Reeve. If Dean Cain never said the line, then he's a hypocrite.

PS: What this guy said.

Nathan Fillion, who plays Guy Gardner/Green Lantern, gave the heartiest laugh and the quippiest response, saying, “Aw, somebody needs a hug. It’s just a movie, guys.”
