late to the Woke Superman party

Saw the movie last night, and can't figure out why MAGAheads are banging on it. Was really expecting something much more over the top and preachy based on the backlash I've been reading about.

"He spends the first half of the movie getting beat up by everybody. I thought Jimmy Olsen was going to take a shot at him!"

"That's not what people want to see from the Man of Steel"

Has Jerry Seinfeld weighed in?

I mean his parents did send him here for chances at a better life. As far as I can tell he was raised in the rural midwest, worked hard, got a job, paid his taxes, voted, and loved America. Yeah he wears his undies on the outside but that's hardly a deportable offense.

Not today, mind you. Not today.

He's always struggled with his identity - his status as a legitimate alien is a central theme of the character.

For me to watch a superhero movie, it’s got to be really, really good, and there certainly have been some that fit the bill. But if he’s right, I’m not sure if I’ll bother. Who wants a wimpy Superman?

It's terrific. Just a great combo of modern day nonsense and the classic Francesa moments. "Mike is incensed when a caller asks how Mickey Mantle won the triple crown without being a horse."

I am not a comic book fan, but I really liked the brighter tone than the previous iterations. And I appreciated how they mostly skip the origin story stuff. Just jumped into the action. Expected to hate the dog. Loved the dog.

We liked it a lot. And as dog owners for many years, we also really liked Krypto!

Where did they get this cape for a dog?!

"Unmitigated garbage!"

with a penchant for bathroom humor?

I am hoping to take the whole family but 7 seems quite young for PG-13.

Buncha snowflakes in the rating agency, I guess. It's quite tame.

Mike Francesa hated it.

I guess it comes from Superman as immigrant, or something?

If it is, I'm in trouble

Superman is probably a top 10 immigrant.

he's also a journalist. double whammy

non-incel (death!)

That’s a good line on Jimmy Olson

talk about your contra indicators

I follow a twitter account that tracks Francesa

My 10yo and I really dug it.

Agree.

Mike Francesa hated the dog.

Is it too mature for a 7 year old boy

perfectly fine

I'm surprised it's PG-13
