Superman fighting the klan didn't work because adults laughed at their hand signs and shit that were disclosed...

It's because it got a generation of kids to see the klan as the bad guys

If Superman hated you, how the fuck were you going to indoctrinate your kid into the klan?

That's why they're always bitching about media. The people doing it are ignorant, but the ones telling them what to be mad about it are picking logical targets to fufil longterm goals.

It's why fighting fascism is like losing weight, you can't reach a goal and stop giving a fuck, it's a lifestyle.

For all the right wingers who think woke, pro immigrant superman is a new concept, reminder that this is a poster from the 1950s

Propaganda is powerful. You convince your followers that some classes of people don't deserve kindness, you convince them that everything out of Hollywood is part of a leftist agenda, and once they believe both of those statements it's very easy to spin this as further proof of the narrative they've already bought into.

Probably the same idiots who thought Homelander was a hero.

Conservatives are still mad that Superman fought the kkk.

I really don't know how to convince people they should care about others.

I don't know how to teach empathy.

I like the Nathan Fillion comment during some red carpet interview when the interviewer was trying to egg him into saying something that would get rage clicks from one side or the other of the current political trash fire.

"its just a movie guys"

Superman was not a brooding edge lord until Snyder's take outside of specific story runs, and it is obvious that a lot of people don't know that.

They don't have a movie but they have a show. Homelander is the perfect 'hero' for these people. Only even the dullest dullard in the magat pile fails to recognize the character is evil but they never consider they are the baddies. Edit: fixed spell check.

Cause Americans are obsessed with Rugged Individualism.

If you are in trouble, you don't accept help, much less ask for it. You pull yourself up by your bootstraps and turn your fortunes around with grit and determination using nothing more than the loose change in your pocket.

Thats how anyone that needs help became nothing more than social parasites leeching off the rugged individualistic success of their betters.

Thats why Americans, on the whole, have all but erased empathy and good will towards others.

Its why 1/3rd of the country actively votes for weak, pathetic fascists who poorly playact as strongmen. Its why 1/3rd of the country didnt bother voting, because they have no problem with fasciatic strongmen punishing the weak and the other.

The New Religion of the American Orthodoxy is basically "Fuck you, Got Mine".

People angry that Superman represents kindness

Do these people exist? Is it just one troll, or a significant enough of a population to even give the slightest bit of thought?

zack snyder and cristopher nolan turned goofy do-gooder superheroes into unfeeling federal agents and gods we should be subservient to

I’m curious how this movie is, I’m used to the older ones and a show called Smallvile.

I did not know there was some anger about this Superman movie. Anyone could quick give me a small summary?

Though bit bummed out that they keep remaking movies and shows instead of making new ones.

The cinematic-repubLkan-universe kindness is weakness.. Good doesn't pretend to be evil. But evil does pretend to be good..ffs, 'the list is on my desk..."

I just came out of watching the new movie.

In the scene in which Clark gets interviewed, seen also in the trailer, it is transparent that Superman is with Francesca Albanese on a very current issue.

That's what they are mad about.

I guess WB/DC is gonna fall out of grace.

I'm out of the loop here. I've seen something about the most recent director or writer calling Superman an immigrant, and Dean Cain hating on that take and calling it "woke". But I haven't seen anyone expressing that Superman should not represent kindness.

FWIW if you are looking at reviews for an upcoming or recently released movies, and a lot of the comments are calling it "too political" or "woke", give it a watch and come back with your own review. Those reviews are an indicator to me that it might be somewhat thought-provoking. (or also don't watch if you have no interest in the subject)

this is what those people want.
