First it's "say the pledge, commie!!" next it's "eat this pork sandwich, Jew boy!!". It's where the playground thug bullshit always ends up.
If you need a fictional character to justify your belief in your country's moral superiority, the problem is with you.
Hey come closer, I've got something to tell you. You should pay attention to this: When it comes to movies and tv shows, you whine like a little bitch It's embarrassing and your entitlement is off the charts Bitches like you are actually incapable of enjoying anything, because you've let your mind be completely poisoned by things like politics. Like a bitch would
Hey history buff, is "Nazi" a religion, race or national origin? (Note: Nazis thought they belonged to the Master Race, but Nazi itself is not a race.)
Replies are full of conservatives showing they have never actually paid attention to Superman's origin story.
Tell us in your own words: Why does it matter to you that this reporter didn't use the whole phrase "truth, justice and the American way" and instead just did a wink-and-a-nod to it, while elsewhere in the piece he said Superman was the most iconic American character ever?
Because if it's not a big deal then say it. Also this came out right before Independence Day, why not capitalize on that?
Once again, we must thank you for providing the evidence you yourself asked for. Why not capitalize on it for some July 4th jingoism after all!
What if the reporter deliberately withheld the phrase because he thought it was a big deal? (Spoiler alert: he didn't) Why would that matter to you? What if the reporter didn't use the phrase because he thought it was cute to say "you know the rest"? Why does that matter to you? And why would you cite that as an example of being woke? How would the interview using the part of the phrase "and the American way" in your view "capitalize" on it being right before Independence Day? Are you claiming that there would be any more viewing of the report or the network in general if he had said "and the American way" instead of what he did? And why do you care about the failure to capitalize on the story being right before Independence Day?
He didn’t He didn’t Because it’s Independence Day, arguably the most patriotic holiday in the country and Superman is an American hero and DC in recent years had Superman renounce his citizenship which turned off older fans who have been fans for decades so it would be some good will towards them especially since people are on the fence with this movie and a lot of people are pissed about Cavil being gone. Maybe you should do anything you can to win back fans and drop the woke baloney sausage. Same with Star Trek by the way.
You realize that the reporter/CBS and DC are two separate things, and the reporter not using the phrase has nothing to do with anything DC did a decade ago by having Superman renounce his American citizenship, right? That the reporter has nothing to do with Cavill being gone, or trying to drum up fans for DC directly? Also, will you ever come to accept that Star Trek has been "woke" from its conception? The notion that all people were equal, and that a Russian person, a Japanese man, a Black woman could all be deemed equals was as revolutionary for the 60s as anything in today's Trek?
Sorry, the international community has taken Superman and we will never give him back. You are shit out of luck
Do....do they think Superman hatched out of a bald eagle egg or something? His own creators said he was an immigrant allegory.
Nathan Fillion had the best response to this nonsense: https://x.com/Variety/status/1942399740232249760
Superman was always woke. Star Trek was always woke. You are only repeatedly demonstrating you have zero understanding of any of these properties. It's no surprise you don't even understand what "intersectionalism" is.
Don't you know by now? What the creators have to say about their work only matters when the creators agree with US.
Not to defend FF, but unlike Star Trek, Superman definitely went through periods when he was positioned as a conservative guy, perhaps most famously in Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns where he was a lapdog for a Ronald Reagan parody.
It just gets me how there's no limits that'll get the Fox-faithful to hit the eject button. Tucker Carlson shitting on Mister Rogers would have gotten me to go "nope!!" *hits button*. This Superman thing would've done it. Hell, fucking Jan 6th. I mean, come the fuck on.
I will never quite understand how people living in a world that caters to them can act as though they are under siege all the time. But if I had the preconceived notion that everyone is out to get me and mine in that way, maybe I could be more willing to excuse the lapses of those who I thought had my back. I do blame Miller for the joyless PTSD sufferer/paranoid control freak/I can do anything with enough prep time-style Uber-Bat epidemic that has afflicted DC for the last few decades. But while I haven't re-read DKR or Batman Year One for a bit, I am fairly confident they would hold up pretty well. Putting Miller to the side, Superman was typically portrayed as a middle-of-the-road guy, and his politics (and just about everything else about him) was as Boy Scoutish, middle of the road, and inoffensive as possible. The above linked ad about anti-Americanism aside, I can't think of plotlines in any Superman comic from roughly 1960 to 2000 where Superman took on racism, poverty, or any number of social ills. A storyline like Roy Harper becoming a junkie or other things in the Green Arrow/Green Lantern book just didn't happen with Superman to the best of my recollection. Supes had basically no regular characters of color in his orbit until Ron Troupe was introduced in the 1990s. I'm not sure I'd classify Superman as "woke" for much of his existence. In the 30s and 40s he did such things as fight the Klan and expose corruption. And I suppose in the last 20 years, there have been versions that have tried to modernize/diversify by race-swapping or gender-swapping Jimmy Olsen or Perry White or other characters.
LMAO, define "a lot of people," you twit...because other than the Synder bros, who are more batshit insane than any collective group of shipper fangirls, I've only seen positive anticipation for this film. And no one misses Henry Cavill in the role lol
Or maybe they haven't been properly taught what those symbols mean because the school system has been too intent on teaching names-dates-and-definitions history and civics to actually teach values.
