    DUDE! In the 1940s they called Superman an immigrant… HE IS A FUCKING ALIEN!

    Also he was an ILLEGAL alien! His escape pod landed outside some childless couple’s farm house in the mid-west, and bless their hearts the first thing they did as adopt him.

    This is peak absurdity. You have a being from another planet, the being is sent from another planet because his planet was about to explode. In a last ditch attempt he was sent to earth by his parents. It surely sounds like a person who could be identified as an immigrant, illegal alien or asylum seeker.

    Did Covid make dumb people even dumber? Ignorance certainly is bliss…

      He’s the Ripley’s believe it or not guy, and had a superman series that didn’t do well for like 3 or 4 seasons. He’s super right wing and super douchey sorta like the dude that ruined Andromeda Kevin sorbo.

    Remember when they had to define woke for some court case? The definition was something like acknowledging that there are inequalities in society. Superman’s whole schtick is that he’s morally good and has a ton of power but doesn’t resort to authoritarianism. That seems pretty “woke” to me, too.

    He’s literally an illegal alien. Like, according to every definition of the words.

    Dean Cain and Kevin Sorbo - two people who would get their asses kicked by the characters they played.

        I would just pray to hera that zeus wouldnt shut up about how hercules is his favorite son and how he cheats on her constantly. I would feed superman non stop blackpill content until he just leaves the planet.

          Getting myself involved in the family drama of the greek gods? I would probably rather just take my ass kicking.

          Gonna be hard to black pill a super human, that is very handsome in all the conventional ways, who was raised by good parents. He would probably just try to get you into therapy.

    Everyone this movie matters to already understands Superman enough not to be bothered by the comments of some has-been actor who clearly never understood the character he portrayed.

    Dean Cain was in one of the 'God’s not Dead" movies. That tells you all you need to know about him.
