I saw the interviews from the director Gunn. It is another Snow White movie anti USA. Dean Cain even agreed they went woke and changed the tag line. So no thanks we will pass. It would be so nice to have some movies that I am not lectured to.[/quote]
I think those movies are catering to a global crowd, so they don't want to appear like "USA is THE best", cause let's be real, it isn't anymore.

Some foreign films from the UK, for example, have Americans as the bad guys.[/quote]

Or it’s just straight up anti-American. Superman was beat up and doing nothing the first 2/3s of the movie. The CGi dog was the only thing somewhat interesting, the Midwest parents are mocked and made to look like idiots, the last bit of the movie Superman finally does something- saves one girl.

Yawn. Attempted politics at every corner.  Double yawn. [/quote]
The hero being beat up on and then winning in the end is actually very American, or used to be.  Everyone likes the story of the underdog. Americans are obsessed with "we are the best, and can beat up anyone". That's not interesting, or a good look.

Even in the Avengers movie, they get beat up on in the beginning.  That's the whole point of movies.  A superhero always winning is a boring movie.

The midwest parents being mocked is a stereotype, to be sure, but doesn't MAGA stereotype all Californians as uber liberals or Hollyood types, even though the vast majority of Californians are not Hollywood types, and a significant number of them voted R?

Superman is an immigrant. You do realize that he was not born in the US, and he didn't have papers, right?    So, [b]he was an actually an illegal alien.[/b][/quote]

This PP gets it.  Part of the problem with Superman is that he has gotten so powerful over the years, that is hard to make interesting stories. He’s essentially a god. Superman Man of Steel addresses this by making the villain other kryptonians, bvs makes the bizarro/doomesday, and then JL he’s mostly dead until he fights a New God.

So if you are making a Superman movie, it’s all about the villain. I think they also de powered him a bit here, for narrative effect. Lex is always entertaining when given the right tools — but even then they pull in an Ultraman/Bizarro super powered individual (the black suited guy).

The story is very boring if he flys in and wins in act I. You need stakes and tension. [/quote]
