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.”

    well, they have someone in the oval office, so they already have legitimacy. I think we’re well past one-nazi-walks-into-a-bar by now.

    They were able to take away the legitimacy of “woke” instead of avoiding using it to deny its legitimacy. Worked for them, might work for us.
