Just remember; when someone says “don’t make it political,” that’s a statement with a political agenda.
Call them out on that bullshit.

That's literally his backstory. He's a refugee from another planet that's like the whole point.
Imagine being this goddamn stupid.
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..
Funny thing is I've been calling Superman an illegal immigrant for decades. All of the sudden it's not a joke anymore. It's a friggin comic book hero for crying out loud.
These people want to be evil but hate being told that they're evil, so anything with an anti-evil message must be "woke".
Did COVID make dumb people even dumber?
No, they were always that dumb. They probably just projected themselves onto Superman because he's a strong white man and clearly strong white people cannot be illegal immigrants because that breaks their pathetic little power trip fantasy.
I dont know how legit was the research methodology, but I did read a paper somewhere that even asymptomatic covid decreased peoples QI for a measurable ammount.
I kinda wish they had gone for an actor of middle eastern descent, or perhaps even immigrant status, to portray Supes. For no reason other than to piss off the bigots.
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 was adopt him.
He was brought to (or rather, fired at) Earth as a baby. Arguably he should be first in line to be a DACA recipient.
He also spends his spare time literally fighting a billionaire, so there's that...
Fired at earth because his planet was literally going to be destroyed. His parents sent him there because it was his best chance at surviving.
Boomer has boomer opinion, next at 11.
Ignoranus n. Someone who is both ignorant and an asshole.
He's litterally an alien.
An Illegal alien at that. He can't even claim Birthright Citizenship, if we still followed the Constitution I mean.
He’s literally an illegal alien. Like, according to every definition of the words.
Wait can someone explain since when is superman not an immigrant? Bro literally fell from the sky or some shit from an alien planet. How the fuck is he not an immigrant? Oh right hes white.
Acrtion Comics #1 ...Lets see:
"When did Superman become so WOOOooooOOOke????"
They didn't go woke Dean, you aged to be a shitty person.
Welp. All I have to say about that is: fuck Dean Cain.
He & Sorbo need to have themselves a bro down, together. My money is on Cain being first nut out.
Another chance to post this...
From a 1949 book cover distributed to schools by DC.
Superman was always woke you dummy.
The very notion of superman is woke. With his powers, he could rule earth. Instead he helps kids and little old ladies with nothing to gain for himself. The guy is empathy incarnate.
Dean Cain and Kevin Sorbo - two people who would get their asses kicked by the characters they played.
Ex-Superman Dean Cain can fuck off
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.
I'm going to guess that James Gunn isn't going to take career advice from...checks notes...Dean fucking Cain.
Every once in a while I'm reminded of what an absolute dipshit one of my fondly remembered actors from childhood is
What else would superman be? Are you gonna change the lore so Krypton is a small town in Kansas?
I'm super disappointed. I had sympathy for the guy, the superman of my childhood. Anyway
Dean Cain was in one of the 'God's not Dead" movies. That tells you all you need to know about him.
Die in a fire, Dean.
Superman as an immigrant's story is one of the oldest and most obvious analyses of the character. It's barely even subtext; it's just text. Imagine how he'll react when he finds out Superman was originally a New Deal socialist who went around smashing up corrupt capitalists' businesses for safety violations.
Superman is an All-American immigrant
I mean, he may be right that it'll hurt the box office to polarize the public, but Superman is as much an illegal alien as you can get.
Come to think of it, what is the story regarding his birth certificate, citizenship etc? Did Ma and Pa Kent claim a home birth and get him documented?
Trump's wife is an immigrant. Trump's parents were immigrants. Many people who are immigrants don't like immigrants because immigrant is code for "someone I don't like for x reason".
How is it a mistake? Kal El is literally from another planet! The term "immigrant" or "alien" could not possibly apply more.
If the only thing Cain has to whine about in 2025 is denying Superman's leftist origins written by depression era immigrants, he's really got nothing to complain about or is trying to distract from some bullshit or sell something
Sorry, I forgot you existed Dean Cain.
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.
Anyone who just read the headline needs to actually go read the article. It's not very long. Not that the headline is misleading, he absolutely said those things, but the whole thing is just the most deranged rant. Cain somehow got from being mad about changing the slogan to "truth, justice, and a better tomorrow" to immigrants want to make America into Somalia in two moves.
So this is how he tries to start relevant now? He should get a hobby.
