>Variety's Chief Film Critic Peter Debruge recently reviewed Amazon's Heads of State starring John Cena and Idris Elba, and appeared to accidentally break his Superman review embargo by saying the streaming action flick—which has a 67% Rotten Tomatoes score—is "a lot more entertaining" than the DC Studios reboot.
>"You could be forgiven for writing off 'Heads of State,'" the review reads. "But then, you would miss a movie that’s no sillier than 'Superman' and a lot more entertaining (a comparison worth making, since both adhere to a mythical sense of heroism)."
>The review has since been updated, and now swaps out "Superman" for "big-studio superhero fare." However, the original, unedited version of the review can still be seen on Yahoo! News.

>Superman is the first superhero of sorts, even though characters like the Phantom predate him, due to the cape and symbol being added to the general archetype
>exists as the linchpin of DC's universe and has come to be a secular corporate Jesus
>pretends to be a completely wholesome and purely good ideal but is actually a hollow corporate mascot
>supposed to be "the man of tomorrow" and show all people the way forward
>universe pushes back on this narrative as it corrupts the transcendental archetype; in the comics the Gentry are portrayed as evil with Superman as the corporate approved mascot, the big subversion of reality
>Marvel began with the Human Torch and Namor, the latter being the first anti-hero in comics
>in-universe Marvel's linchpin is Doom who is Namor's closest ally and exists as basically the collected and merged supervillain archetype, a sort of mixture of every Victorian and Antiquity trope of a Tragic/Byronic Hero
>Marvel is Promethean, literally being born with fire (Jim Hammond) and DC is Quasi-Christian with Superman as Secular Jesus in everything
>the Marvel "supervillain" against the DC "superhero" with the universe clearly siding with the "supervillain" because the archetype is honest, while the "superhero" is a subversion of cosmic law
Wild stuff. Superfag is meant to be beaten and bloodied, it's all a part of the universal plan.
