I mean... He's literally an alien that came here illegally.

Is MAGA stupid? Don't answer that, it was rhetorical.

From a 1949 book cover distributed to schools by DC.

MAGA is basically opposed to truth, justice, and the American way, aren't they?

Everything upsets MAGA. They’re petulant children in desperate need of a nap. Sadly, they are using that energy to ruin lives, and destroy a country.

Conservatives unable to grasp basic plot points of a story thats been around nearly 100 years. Color me unsurprised.

But they’re explaining only half of the plot an illegal alien is assimilating and it’s making a specific billionaire very upset he can’t continue to exploit his people

I hate the director for deciding to associate a fictional character with societal issues.

Has there been any movie where fictional characters aren't associated with societal issues? I ask because I'm pretty sure every single movie does this.

Edit: OP Deleted their comment.

How can you not know Superman's origin story? Apart from the comics its been retold in every major movie version too. He literally is and always was (weird retcons aside) an immigrant.

Well, Superman is an illegal immigrant. I don't think they have a US consulate in Kypton.

Party of "fuck your feelings" huh? MAGA biggest cry babies out there. Guess it makes sense.

MAGA Outrage Over Director Saying Superman Is an Immigrant

(We're about a decade too late, and our engorged trolls are now our leaders, but still...)

I mean he was literally created by Jews during the time of Hitler as an inversion of the Nazi ideal of a "super man" who would go around beating up Nazis. His origin story is basically just space Moses, and his Kryptonian name "Kal-El" is formatted like the name of an angel, containing the name "El" meaning "God" (compare MichaEL, GabriEL etc.) Superman has been anti-fascist and pro-minority since his inception.

I can't help but feel like when Hollywood switched to ME villains instead of nazis, it really had a large sociological effect.

Not that it was intentional propaganda, just that 20 years of "anything to stop poor brown people in the desert" had an effect different than "anything to stop the genocidal fascists".

How could someone take umbrage there? Like... read his origin story. He was born on Krypton. He got dropped on Earth. He was adopted by folks in Kansas. If I told people I found a child who drifted across the Rio Grande and adopted him as my own, we'd all agree he was probably from Mexico and not a native born citizen. But apparently him drifting in from SPACE changes the narrative?

All these things haven't suddenly become woke, YOU JUST BECAME A RACIST BIGOTED XENOPHOBIC ASSHOLE!!! AKA MAGA.

They really do live in their own little bubble huh? Like dude is a literal alien, and they think he is a home grown hero.

DCU heads in their best J. Jonah Jameson voice:

FIND ME A SINGLE TWEET THAT MAKES A CONTROVERSY OF THIS MOVIE!! WE NEED FREE PUBLICITY DAMMIT!!! IT WORKED FOR DISNEY, IT WILL WORK FOR US!! GET ME ~~THOSE PICTURES~~ THAT TWEET!!!!

Dude is from another planet but magat get upset he is called an immigrant.

Lex Luthor: Make America Great Again! Krypton has not sent us their best or finest. Kryptonians are all rapists and drug dealers. Also, I am looking at stripping Bruce Wayne and Diana Prince of their citizenship because they say mean things about me.

People like him is why AI slop movies are going to be successful. They just want to watch pretty pictures and see the American flag waving at the end, not be intellectually challenged and entertained.

How dare we suggest that Superman doesn't reflect the full Aryan image? Sorry, I misspelled MAGA

Science bless you James Gunn. Keep fighting the good fight.
