Spoilers Superman (2025) Grade and Discussion

Indeed. As you see, some are still soiling themselves about Man of Steel / Snyder instead of focusing on the new film they claimed was that which they wanted to see--the hallmarks of obsessive hate, and all of the triggered replies and smilies in the world will not alter that fact.
Has Dean Cain complained about Pa Kent being alive in the movie yet?
I think the press reporting on Cain's remarks was somewhat overblown. By that time, they smelled blood in the water surrounding the politics of the movie.
Oddly enough, the so-called controversy over Clark's immigration status and the cries of "Woke!" probably drove the opening weekend higher - but not because of anger on the right or the defensive reactions from the political left.
Most people are not that ideologically driven.
What happened, if anything, was that coverage of the film's existence and imminent release just broke through at higher levels in the general, non-geek, non-entertainment media. Awareness itself is everything.
"Oh, there's a new Superman movie? Maybe I'll check that out."

As a Superman and toy collector I just have to make sure, they're not destroying any vintage figures, do they?The Snyder cult is melting down on Twitter and reddit. The entire world is in a conspiracy to lie - LIE, I TELL YOU! - about the success and popularity of Superman.
They're posting videos of themselves ripping up Superman tee shirts and breaking Superman action figures. Bunch of putzes.
Cain's actually been like this since at least Gamergate, where he took the side of Gamergate.
Should we call Collectables Protective Services?
I've pretty much enjoyed all the superman starting with the 1948 Kirk Alyn serials. Superman is my favorite superhero. I liked tge Snyder version well enough. Not close to my favorite but fun. The character is always fun to watch in tv or in movies.
Deadline reported on the controversy and Cain's remarks:
The germane part of what he said about the movie was:
I think he's wrong-headed, but it's fair comment and he doesn't present in this instance as a raving looney who objects to Gunn or is very critical of the movie as such.
The main problem with Snyder is how determinedly he works to ensure it isn’t fun.
It was not my favorite interpretation of the character by far but I found some things to like about it. The effects were really good. I liked how jor el was portrayed. I didnt like that superman broke zods neck and killed him. He could have found a better way. I also didn't get why superman kept pushing zod into buildings and causing casualties.
My favorite superman is the 78 movie still. But i like the oldest versions still to this day. I found a great copy of the 1948 serial with Kirk Alyn and will be watching that one in the next few days. Pretty cool version.

I enjoyed the Snyderverse for what it was, just as I enjoyed Superman Returns and this film for this one.
The Snyder folks have simply made themselves an easy target to make fun of.
There’s a long, mostly sympathetic, piece about him here, and while he does say some nice things about the movie, his comments about the Kent parents make it clear he either hasn’t seen the film or has missed the point about them
Dean Cain Is Still Flying High: ‘Lois & Clark’ Heartthrob Tells All on Supporting Trump, Opposing ‘Woke’ Superman and Overcoming Sexual Harassment
As the first and only Superman of color, Dean Cain revisits 'Lois & Clark,' the series that made him a '90s heartthrob.

If that's it then I don't understand all the commotion
Yeah, I agree.
I saw the movie last week with my wife. We liked it, in my opinion it could have take a slower pace and the music wasn't special like in the the Reeve and Cavill movies.
I foolishly watched a random Youtube on this subject a week ago.
There was so much topspin on the commentary, they'd have us believe that Dean Cain played Ultra Man or Captain Nazi in the 90s.
