The team behind “Superman” is responding to the backlash after director James Gunn said the DC tentpole is the story of “an immigrant that came from other places.”
When asked about the reaction to his comments, James Gunn explained that the movie is for “everyone” and that he doesn’t have “anything to say to anybody” spreading negativity around “Superman.”
“I’m not here to judge people,” he told Variety at Monday night’s “Superman” premiere at Hollywood’s TCL Chinese Theatre. “I think this is a movie about kindness and I think that’s something everyone can relate to.”
Just make him an illegal alien then, try to deport him, make him a Russian/Chinese asset.
(Actually at least one multiverse story comes close to that - but has Superman initially land in Russia iirc.)
Yeah and he’s the villain in his own story because you can’t have a Soviet farmer teach his adoptive son worthwhile values.
No propaganda or politics in fiction though!
Lmao, yes, exactly!
Remember, propaganda is only evil if it hurts my views (and by “my” I mean whoever is in charge, not me).
But Superimmigrantman was always (especially at the even-more-super-op beginning) just a comic about the model poster boy American with superhuman USA patriotism.
(And or with that, very one-dimensional, it took like 30 years for him to get a personality bigger than those of characters from short commercials.)
