Thread 212652521

I was browsing TikTok recently and noticed that Zoomers seem to prefer James Gunn’s interpretation of Superman over Zack Snyder’s version. They appreciate that Gunn's Superman comes across as more down to earth, emotionally accessible, and softer in tone compared to the darker, more stoic portrayal in Snyder’s films.
Additionally, a lot of them really like the character of Lex Luthor in this version. They see him as a "generational hater" and they resonate with how his character ties into broader political themes. One reference that stood out to many was the subtle allusion to the Israel/Palestine conflict. Given that a significant portion of Gen Z tends to be pro Palestinian in their political views, that aspect of the story struck a chord with them as well.

I guess I will watch the film Today tho.

Looks more like Professor X than Luthor.

Seems like one could just as easily project Russia/Ukraine or Serbia/Kosovo onto the conflict. It was weird, it felt like the invading dictatorship was Balkan and the invaded country was somewhere in the Sahel.

the difference between zoomers and gen x/millennials is that they aren't as cynical

>>212652521 (OP)
Zoomer here.
Grew up with Snyder.
I can remember sitting in the backseat of my mom's car in 2014 thinking that 2016 was so far away.
I had dreams about BvS I was so excited to see it.
Ultimately, I liked the fight scene and found everything else boring.
This is a better Superman movie than MoS.

Nice AI Prompt
Can we see these non-shill tiktok posts?

>>212652566
Oh so like lex luthor

This board is unusable with all the Superman spam, why would you pay for shills on a dead board?

>>212660283
There are barely any threads about superman

>>212660321
True

I love Luthor
Him breaking into a sprint when he sees Superman through the window
Him getting knocked around by the dog in the middle of his monologue
I don't know, the way he's acted and written is just so funny to me

kek can't make this shit up

Superheroes are for fucking children when the trend is to become trans or a pedophile they will make the next Superman into a trans male

normies like cavill's superman because of his stoicism. no idea who that person you posted is. funny you call others nerds while knowing who some obscure capefag is

>>212662497
Yes it is. WB shills like you are working overdrive.

>Jor-El speaking Hebrew
What was the meaning of this?

>>212652521 (OP)
havent seen the movie yet but it looks like were not getting jacked human supremacist luthor any time soon. i wanna see the version of lex that hates space niggers and wants to deport superman back to krypton cuz of the indombitable human spirit

wait wait wait. Why is John cena in this universe? I thought he was part of the old universe. He was in the tv interview in this movie. So was his tv show set in this universe? That means batman already exists as his show talks about Batman.

Half of Peacemaker S2 is still set in the DCEU.

I thought it was explicitly a post-Soviet dictatorship, considering they stated that both countries were in Eastern Europe
But it makes even less sense why spear-chucking Indians would be living in a desert right next to Belarus or something

>>212662549
Bradley Cooper is a handsome man

>>212662553
Well, he is going to Belle Reeve at the end, maybe they get Hoult jacked for the sequel

>>212662690
Indeed

>>212652521 (OP)
Who the fuck cares you stupid bitch? Tiktok didn't exist when Snyder made his movies so they would have been way more popular than the Gunn "movie" if they were released today. It's so funny that all you do is expose how mogged Gunn is by Snyder and his movies in every way

>>212662618
Oh lol they are actually gonna address why there are holdovers from Peacemaker/Suicide Squad? I thought they were gonna brush it under the carpet and shrug their shoulders that it's a dumb comic thing the audience should go along with, like Dench reappearing as M in Casino Royale. Nothing autistic, simply we liked he as M so she's coming along for the reboot

>>212652566
Lex Luthor and Professor X are played by the same actor in the comics.

>>212663108
Why the fuck has this never occurred to me before? Kek. Like the Young Justice version of Lex would one hundred percent be Charles if you edit his suit to be dark green and put him into a wheelchair

Its annoying how all of you people make like 20 threads. It means I have to copy paste my posts in every thread as I dont know which one is the main one.

This is what happens when you let nerds make things without any strong business-minded supervision. They make everything unnecessarily retarded.

Hi! I'm a fellow zoomer. I also enjoyed the new Superman movie by Director James Gunn staring David Corenswet a great deal.
That movie was the shizzle, bras!
I'm glad you posted a picture of Nicholas Hoult's Lex Luthor. The best version of Luthor to this day.
I LOVE how they mad the characters more relevant to the current generation (my own!). No more stilted old ok boomer actors for this movie, I'll tell you what.
By the way I'm looking forward to Hulu's King of the Hill sequel coming soon.
I LOVE how in touch with his emotions they made Superman/Clark. It's like I was watching myself on screen. I was also impressed how woke the movie was without being obnoxious about it. The best of both worlds.
Krypto was so GOOD. Such a good boy. I hope they have Krypto toys for pets on sale soon. I would sooo buy a cape for my poper.
Frak Snyder-lovers. They don't know what a good movie kinno is.

Surprising nobody if you're in one of Gunn's projects and his personal friend you keep your role and job that's why his cunt wife is still cast in everything
