James Gunn's "Superman"
I finally sat down and watched this today because you wouldn't shut the fuck up about it and I wanted to see if Mister Terrific was done well. Let's have one more thread about it.

First off, I think it's psychotic that the writers' approach to making Superman a reinvented symbol for positivity in the 2020s was to make him a combination of a stereotypical autistic guy and, like, a smug, snarky middle school teacher. The plot point about him being into a pop-punk band that Lois dismisses as industry plant top-40 posershit resonated with me to some extent, but they're not trying to portray Andrew Hussie's relationship with Insane Clown Posse, they're trying to portray pseudo-Weird-Twitter millenials' relationship with Limp Bizkit.

Terrific was cool, but he was too heroic and not on screen long enough. Adapting him as a sandpapery black dad might be accurate to the comics, but I dunno.

Hoult Luthor was where I think they really fucked up and it's pretty fucking crazy that they thought intentionally writing him to be corny and annoying and a vapid, sniveling douche who's self-aware about how retarded he is would go over well. Even the casting basically slants him as a day-trader finance bro.

Terrible start. This is a comics board anon, no shit it was being discussed. If you didn’t care initially then you caving to the influence of the /co/omers doesn’t deflect responsibility, it just makes me assume you have no backbone.

Why would you admit you are weak willed?

Film sucked because James Gunn is too lazy and can’t write an origin story for his Superman or Lex and hides behind: “we don’t need to see it”- no, we need to see yours buddy- that’s how I’m able to see this as a Superman film and not some manchild’s original film with the Superman IP slapped over it, because that’s all it is, comic accurate Superman my a**
