Now that the dust has settled and the hype died down the audiences are starting to realize that Gunn didn't actually understand Superman.

You people are obsessed with this fucking movie.

that being said the Israel bashing was actually ballsy and interesting and I respect it

Superman is going to be one of those movies we look back a couple of years from now and say what the fuck were we smoking when we called this fun. Its going to age really badly.

While the line fits the character, I'm pretty sure Snyder didn't understand it and just thought it sounded cool.

>Grant Morrison (they/them)
Pretty sure the writer means earlier pre-mental illness Morrison. Either way, Morrison had a better bead on it than most.

Ultimately, Superman isn't supposed to act human and his struggle lies in finding the right way to inspire humans without falling into the trap of controlling them. How much should a god-like being interfere if they have the best of intentions.

>>213568076
All Gunn movies have that effect. They're basically feature-length SNL skits that skirt the edge of irony and straight-to-dvd christmas movie 'wholesomeness' that hit the right feels in a typical NPC

>>213568040
Nolan, Goyer and Snyder sadly thought too much of more than half of Man of Steel's audience. A brilliant cerebral Man Of Steel stomped the lot of them.

>>213568144
Faggot.

> Morrison sees his hero as a god capable of inspiring us all, while Gunn chooses to pull Superman down from Mount Olympus and bring him to our level. It makes the character more relatable, but at what cost?

Superman was never suppose to be a God like character. That is evident from Golden Age Superman. He was a champion of the oppressed and had no problem hanging politicians out windows. You can trace thevdecline in Superman’s popularity the minute Donner movies made him some Jesus character. Now people think Superman is boring as fuck. Nobody wants to watch a symbol and why Spider Man is more popular and Superman is the Big Blue Bore

>>213567829 (OP)
I'm not going to read the article but the writer is right about one thing, Gunn doesn't get it. The most important thing about Superman is how power. the point of Superman is that he can do anything, but chooses to be a good person. The more ways there are to stop him, the less his choice matters. His choice matters the most when it's the ONLY thing holding him back. Not the threat of Batman or Lex having a plan, or Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel teaming up to fight him, just his own morals and nothing else.

I didn't hate Gunnperman. It's a feelgood movie with a message that is relevant to the times, and not particularly inaccurate (it's punk rock to be nice) but Snyder's work on these movies is legitimately underrated and more people will realize this in time. He gets a bad rep because of pajeets who are universal fans of these movies by default.

>>213569249
Yup, even to me, who spent five years going to Deathbattle comment sections nightly and checked the entire 24 hours of previous comments just to make sure NO weeb missed out on me correcting them on why Superman makes Goku his bitch, it's acceptable that a clone of Superman, with the same powers, but controlled by Lex, is an acceptably difficult opponent.

I entirely believe that the Snyder hate cult is just a bunch of insecure manchildren ass mad that their childhood hero Reeves got replaced with another actor. And that's why they hate MoS. It's kind of like what happened with Affleck and Bale but way louder.
It's like they're too retarded to understand that
>(1) the 2 movies are different genres. MoS is an action/drama whereas Superman is an action/comedy
>(2) Reeves can't play the ducking character anymore.
But these boomers are still watching superhero movies and cartoons even though they're turning 50 this decade so they'll probably never understand those extremely basic points.

>>213570199
>And that's why they hate MoS
Nah, it's a lot simpler than that. I hate MoS because when Superman comes back to Metropolis after the kryptoforming machine has been destroyed, and looks around and sees all the death and destruction that Zod has caused, and then hears Zod starting to motive rant, he looks kind of bored.

Not mad, not sickened by the destruction, not horrified, not distraught, not determined, not anything. Just...

>>213567829 (OP)
What’s the point in Superman if you aren’t going to make him super. The vast majority of people don’t care about the intricacies of Superman’s character because he isn’t really that interesting or popular to begin with. While Gunn’s movie has that feel good aspect it’s still a downgrade in a lot of other ways. What makes him interesting and ultimately good is subjective.

Superman should just be charismatic and fun. The best versions of Superman are basically just comedies. People agonize too much about what this corny throwaway piece of children's entertainment from 100 years ago "means". Initially it was only ever meant to be a bit of cheap fun, and make some money for the creators.

Exactly.
If Superman 'means' anything, it's to be a good human being. That even an alien with a Bible-coded origin story can save people and be kind.
It's really not that difficult to grasp but we have people arguing whether or not Superman should save people.
To anyone who likes grimdark Superman, read the original comics and tell me it's a level of quality that is worth subverting.

>>213573068
>The best versions of Superman are basically just comedies

What in the blue hell are you talking about?

>>213573325
Reeve, Lois and Clarke, Fleischer cartoon, 90's WB cartoon, just the comics in general back in the silver age and stuff.

>>213573392
The cartoons weren't really comedies, especially the Fleischer ones. Reeve was also somewhat serious early on. It just wasn't grimdark, but it's not a comedy either like fucking Euro Trip or Mr Bean or some shit.

>>213573616
there's a knowing silliness to it. It would be maybe more accurate to just say it's for children.

>>213572348

>>213568277
Superman is a wish-fulfillment character

>>213573923
I've read like two Superman comics ever, but from what I can tell comics Superman seems way more fantastical and generally fun.
Like, he has a miniaturized city of Kryptonians in a bottle in his Fortress of Solitude. He has villains who are just magic. Everything about Jimmy Olsen.

I know that comics now are basically just terribly confused about their identity, and are forever going back on forth on whether they're supposed to be gritty and serious or try to appeal to kids who wont read them. Probably should be taken as a given that comics after like the 90's don't really count.

Is Ned Flanders punk-coded?

>>213567829 (OP)
I didn't really like the movie. Gunn's whole writing style and sense of humor is really grating. In terms of the Superman stuff I really didn't like how they made his parents evil and had him do a big "I'm so human" speech. He's a tragic character in some ways, he's meant to be slightly apart from humanity and to long for his lost world. I did like that they made him a bit cocky and self righteous, that's a big part of the character that people write off when they try to make him wholesome/hopeful to distance him from Batman. Superman is often a dick and clearly gets some mildly sadistic pleasure from humiliating his enemies.

Superman 2025 is one of the worst superhero movies of all times. James Gunn, who excels in directing overdone violence, out of place quips, undeserved melodrama and perverted sex obsession brings all his trademark traits to this rendition of Superman. This isn't a Superman movie, it's a Marvel/Guardians of Galaxy movie with Superman in the middle of it. In fact, Gunn seems to enjoy writing Justice Gang far more than he does writing Superman. The former which ran off two jokes that were repeated ad nauseam throughout the movie.

What makes Superman a compelling character is gone in Gunn's sloppy adaption. He's not particularly strong, he's not particularly wise, he's a poor leader, he's extremely narcissist and gets easily emotional. And this is supposed to be a seasoned Superman. It's almost like Gunn was projecting his own shitty flawed character on to Superman. The only missing touch would be if Lois was a minor.

The action scenes are just a complete mess of CG blob. Superman is basically a rag doll that gets thrown all over the place and nothing in this movie has weight or meaning to it, particularly in its action. There's a scene where Lois and Mr Terrific break into enemy HQ and the whole ordeal is of course settled with a very catchy music montage of all the enemies being dismantled with utter ease. The next scene is of Clark trying to keep a CGI baby from drowning in lava with his deus ex dog arriving in timely manner to save him again. This is straight out of a Marvel movie and has no place in a Superman movie.

This rendition of Lex is also his most shallow depiction. There is no nuance or intelligence to this Lex. He's not particularly shrewd and constantly spills out his plans for everyone to find out. He throws into temper tantrums just like Superman and starts to sob and cry because Superman is better than him. Where is the elegance and intelligence of Luthor? This is basically a spoiled rich kid battling another spoiled strong kid. 1/10, MCU slop.

Indian thread about people misconceptions of Superman?

>>213567931
>>That is where you've always been wrong about me, Lex. I am as human as anyone. I love, I-I get scared. I wake up every morning, and despite not knowing what to do, I put one foot in front of the other, and I try to make the best choices that I can. I screw up all the time, but that is being human
This quote is one of the most retarded things in the movie but one of the few.

>>213575550
Extremely soi writing. Fuck Gunn

>>213575550
This is true about Superman, but it feels way too on the nose and obvious to have him actually say it in the movie. A big problem with this movie is that Gunn clearly is more of an edgy guy with regards to comics, he doesn't really like Superman all that much so he's trying to self consciously defend him from criticisms that he himself has about the character.

>>213576352
I saw this at my local IMAX and parts of it were out of focus. What happened to quality control? The trailer scenes looked better on my OLED at home.

Man of Steel is a terrible exposition-filled Capeshit flick. Everyone acts robotic and the film is devoid of human emotion. Watching the movie is the closest thing to being in a state of purgatory in real life. I have never felt so empty leaving the movie theater; say what you want to about Capeshit, but there's supposed to be a hint of fun to it. I will never understand Snyderfags.

>>213576515

Same, but at the same time he made it so close to the real situation that it's terrible distasteful.

The hard truth is Snyder cared a lot more and did way more justice for the main characters than Gunn is. Gunn only wants to fuck around with niche pawns. Guys like Peacemaker, Polkadotman, and Bloodsport are characters that otherwise wouldn’t see the light of day. Even Superman’s own movie he has to shine lights on Guy, Mr.T, and Hawkgirl while putting Superman through the humiliation ritual grinder. And if you think that’s the end of it you’re a fool. His role will be reduced heavily in the sequel too when he’s no longer the lead. Gunn’s whole shtick is self irony mockery, which is fine, for some characters but not unilaterally. How many years is it going to be before we get some botched JL lineup that all won’t shut up about their poop fetish. In retrospect especially after S2025’s box office Zaslav might as well have given the keys to Snyder instead.
