Raimi Spider-Man movies and Nolan Batman movies. You don't need any more capeshit than that. They perfected both the campy and realistic interpretations of superheroes and everyone should just stop trying to get anything more from the genre.

It was like watching your dad get the shit kicked out of him. It was horrible and sad and awesome and that still is amongst the worst of Nolan's stuff because that was The Dark Knight Rises, which is clearly the worst
Fatfleck is pathetic and almost all of his scenes are beyond bad besides that warehouse scene where there's just a lot of fighting with him taking on so many people so it looks cool because Snyder fans just want to watch a bunch of action figures beat people up.

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.

I love reading about soiboys online blaming Snyder for Normalman flopping. As if Gunn ever made a single successful movie outside of the MCU brand. As if all his WB movies haven't been flops. As if the studio who hired him didn't force him to majorly revise the tone of the movie upon realizing he just made GoTG again.
All the shill lines are there. If it flops, blame Snyder. If it's a hit, blame Snyder. Whatever you do, don't talk about how every trailer of this movie looked like complete ass and the movie's entire gimmick was "look Superman saves cats again".
Audiences don't care about these fanboy wars. They were advertised a money that looked too childish, cartoonish and slap stick for them to bother.

Look what a geniune depiction this is of Superman. Snyder doesn't attempt to trivialize his critics into being pure satire. They all come with different interpretations of his actions and character. His silence speaks volumes, wanting his actions to speak for themselves. Snyder's Superman does not need to cry in front of Lois about Twitter warriors being mean to him. He understands they will misunderstand him and accepts that. He requires guidance from his loved ones but never tries to assert dominance over them. This is the real depiction of Superman. Not Gunn's slap stick depiction that is insulting to anyone above the IQ of an online comic book manchild. When he calls his mother, his first question is about them, not about his own ego. And his exhausted tone implies someone with good intentions but not of unstable temper.
Why anybody thought a quip-obsessed manchild pedophile was suitable for the job of adapting Superman is beyond me.

>>213782894Total bullshit. Batman vs Superman was floating around since the early 2000s. It was put on hold for Batman Begins and attempt to reboot Superman with Returns.

>>213783038Chatgpt just BTFO'd OP and the bots in this thread:
Let’s break it down step by step using the numbers mentioned in the thread and some reasonable assumptions.
---
1. Domestic vs. International Box Office (Superman 2025):
Total gross: ~$595M
Typically, domestic is about 45–50% of a superhero film’s total. Let’s assume 50% domestic / 50% international.
Domestic ≈ $297.5M
International ≈ $297.5M
---
2. Performance in key foreign markets (as per thread):
China: Bombed, similar to Man of Steel’s $60M
Japan: $8M
South Korea: $14M
Thailand: $3M
Russia: $10M (limited by war restrictions)
Total from these: $95M
If international ≈ $297.5M, then $202.5M came from other international markets (Europe, India, Latin America, etc.).
---
3. Lost potential due to political/economic tensions:
China alone is huge for blockbusters; a healthy share could have been $150–200M.
With tariffs and strained relations, China might only give ~$30–60M (as seen).
Add in other Asian countries underperforming, and roughly $100–150M in potential international revenue was likely lost.
---
4. Adjusted “what could have been” total:
If international had performed normally: $297.5M + $100–150M extra = $397.5M–447.5M international
Combined with domestic $297.5M total gross potential: $695M–745M
So, geopolitics and economic factors might have cost the film $100–150M globally. That could have put it above Man of Steel’s original $670M haul.
---
In short: Gunn’s Superman might have been a bigger hit internationally if not for tariffs, political tensions, and foreign market boycotts. Domestic performance looks fine; it’s the missing international revenue that keeps it from a “smash” worldwide.
If you want, I can make a quick visual chart showing actual vs. potential box office by region, which makes the impact really clear.

>Last year, documents filed by the Superman production team with the Ohio government seeking incentives listed the gross budget of the highly anticipated July film as $363.8 million. When that number was reported, director James Gunn — who also runs DC Studios — lambasted the article. “How in the world do they think they know what our budget is?” he wrote on social media. In recent days, DC suggested the budget is a net $225 million after incentives and tax breaks.
>Yet one longtime financier says the $363 million figure isn’t incorrect. And sources say DC and its parent could spend as much as $200 million on the global marketing campaign, compared with the usual $150 million for an all-audience summer tentpole. It wouldn’t be a surprise, since Superman kicks off the Gunn era and needs to work at the box office. Either way, between the production budget and marketing, it’s certain to land in the $400 million club.

if you go "hur dur we just put all the people there" you are beyond retarded because there was no portal close there other than the lex one
>>213785308Lex can literally pull out whatever he wants from his pocket dimensions. Why the fuck does he even care about Superman so much when he possesses all this insane otherworldly shit that can make him a God?
>>213785313>Why the fuck does he even care about Superman so muchbecause he cannot be seen as a GOD/apex/ubermensch by humanity when Superman exist
>>213784733>>213784817The terraforming ship's gravity death radius was very very slowly growing, you can see that most of the people in the plaza it touches down in will be fine. The surrounding buildings had ample time to evacuate before the fortress ship crashed. More deaths probably came from Superman and Zod's fight, especially from the satellite crash. 5000 is a lowball- but 0 is a lie : )
>>213775620It hitting torrents is the only reason I watched it. I had a great time. My only complaint is the unnecessary fairly regular swearing, which is retarded in what is otherwise a family film.
>>213780709Superman historically is unable to see thru lead, so all Luther, “the genius” had to do, was line the clone’s suit with a thin layer of lead foil, which would cause no weight issue for a clone of Superman.
Also, the film doesn't show Superman looking thru objects with his X-ray vision, so whether Superman can see thru the suit, or whether the suit is lead lined, is a mute point regarding the plot.
Did anyone other Anons notice the plot is partially the plot from the original “The Boys” comics, which wasn’t used in the Amazon show ?
