When Snyderchads invoke mythology, they don’t mean flashy CGI or obligatory Marvel-style cameos, we’re pointing to something rare in the modem day; mythic cinema that operates on intellectual, emotional and archetypal layers.
Snyder’s Superman isn’t a quip machine it’s a cosmic parable grappling with the alienation, existential grief, sacrifice and the burden of divinity collapsing into humanity that comes from a truly great heroes actions.
That weight persists in the films where Clark isn’t just choosing good he’s grappling with a cosmic inheritance. Each step he step he takes reverberates through his universe and literally ushers in a new age of heroes.
Contrast that with Gunn’s Superman (2025) bright instagram filter friendly décor, comedic cameos and a canine mascot stealing every memorable moment. So called critics laud it for having "charm and optimism" but beneath the Instagram filters lies emotional flimsiness unwilling to commit to the story that dilutes Superman into a goodwill mascot disconnected from mythic potency .
What Snyder did was more than an origin he invoked myth. Krypton’s twilight, Kal-El’s anguished awakening and that post-9/11 trauma kiss in rubble all of it references the crucible of classical epics and biblical archetypes. Superman becomes Prometheus and Moses interwoven, not just a PR-friendly brand.
Gunn’s Superman by contrast, feels like an algorithmic compromise to the Snyder era a forced "wholesome" frictionless, cameo‑rich…and void of true resonance corporate slop product.
It resets with fake sincerity, sidesteps moral paradox, and literally trots out a dog in his cape instead of confronting the myth of Superman.
That's not evolution in a story, it’s emotional sanitization a funko pop pandering product for brainless consoomers.

The movie looked awful it's not our fault we don't want to watch movies that look like a credit card commercial
It's why the Snyder Era of DC actually made money
Heroes are supposed to mythic and something to aspire to
Why would I want to aspire to be a ugly Jewish zoomer?
Add to that the film having no big names because Gunn just hired all his mates as he always does
