What do you think of the backlash to Gunn's Superman and how he ruined the House of El?

Why does Superman even keep wearing the House of El symbol ?

Something something redefine the meaning for yourself.
It means Hope to people on earth now.

Bad faith jeet spam isn't criticism.

I find it funny even writers like Waid are coping and hoping it's been faked by Luthor.

I cannot believe saar gunn benchod change superman. He promise direct adaptation of action comic #1 mater chod

I don't like how it barely looks like an S

the "make sure to get a full harem, son!" was too far. as a casual Superman fan (I don't know all the what-whats happened in books or anything) it was shocking and uncomfortable to hear the "real, full" message

I was in the theatre stunned. did they really throw Superman's parents under the bus like that? um... what? did they? are they going to.... nope. it stuck. I thought they were going to un-do it somehow, but they kept it! Superman's biological parents were dicks. it kinda distracted me for the rest of the movie, trying to figure out how they could un-do it.

it's too late for Superman to re-brand with a new logo. um... now he will MAKE that symbol stand for truth & justice & whatever instead of conquer & harem. take THAT biological parents!

In fairness, how many experts are reasonably out there familiar with kryptonian linguistics and alien video files? this plot point just bothered me in theaters

It's an S
S for Superman

>>149434873 (OP)
So he can wear the Fleischer S next movie

There's no alphabet on Krypton, Lois.

Fake outrage from people who never read a comic in their life and don't realize that Jor El's not a real fucking character

>>149436648
people try to insert themselves AS Superman, upset to find out that his biological parents are terrible. it's like being told YOUR biological parents are terrible.

nobody reads comics. let the movie tell me the story. I'm not going to do homework before I see a movie.

Why do people keep trying to create fake outrage by saying his mom said he needs to rape women?

>>149435861
Waid has terrible fucking Superman takes

The S stands for Harem now

India likes the movie though, America and India are the only places dumb enough for this movie to do well in

>heritage not hate

he's gonna whore out supergirl on tour around the US for a couple of years to raise funds for monuments to krypton

Is an evil Superman the ultimate NTR fantasy? An all powerful being stealing away not only YOUR woman, but EVERY woman on earth while we (yes, WE) watch on impotently as he has their way with them?

White man has been here…

I don't think anyone cares for DC movies, or DC for that matter at this point, and any and all discussion comes from bots, marketing firms and culture warriors trying to make the last reddit movie from Gunn theirs.

>>149434887
It doesn't matter if he redefines what the symbol means, because as long as others know the previous meaning there will be people who refuse to accept any other definition and hold onto the old meaning of it and then be mad at superman

>>149434873 (OP)
It's so funny bc we don't even know if the message was doctored or not. And even if it wasn't, the whole fucking point is that Clark CHOOSES to be a good person instead of being told to do so by his skyfather.

>>149436648
This. I mean, sure, I like Jor-El but he's always been pretty flat.

> Why does Superman even keep wearing the House of El symbol ?
It makes it obvious he chose the KC symbol because of that. Now he can move on and have a literal S instead of trying to pass off a letter S as an alien symbol.

i just watched it my favorite part was when lex shot that indian in the head

Swastikas exist. Your argument is invalid. And in case you've no idea what I'm talking about:
>originally symbol of peace
>guy from culture unrelated to the one symbol originated from decides it means something else
>the average Westerner (and filthy, beetroot-eating slav) now thinks it only means what that guy made it mean

>>149435861
OBVIOUSLY it's fucking faked, Luthor's exactly the kind of cunt to do that. Why else would a message of hope and love suddenly divert hard into "Rape and pillage" in the most objectionable manner possible? It's like it's tailor-made to piss off as many people as possible.

Matt Reeves did the same shit to Wanes in his Batman and none seems to complain about that. The modern day consensus among writers seems to be daddy issues=depth.
>Why does Superman even keep wearing the House of El symbol ?
It's his symbol now, he decides what it means if other Kryptonians don't like that they can't do anything about it because they are dead.
