Honestly with the way that some people talk about James Gunn and the Upcoming Superman movie you'd think that Zack Snyder invented the character or something, as if it's the only version that's allowed to exist

We live in a society where its "cool" to hate everything. Nobody likes anything anymore and its weird. Nobody gives films a chance anymore. Watching the negative reactions to Superman has enlightened me to see just how many people haven't read an actual Superman comic 😂. Superman inspires hope, he uplifts you, he is a figure that people can aspire to be. And I see that in the little we've seen of Gunn's Superman so far. This is coming from someone who loved Man of Steel btw. Wanting to see things fail has become popular, especially with modern day superhero movies.

So…I’m an assistant manager at a movie theater in LV and my favorite thing as of late has been going into the theaters as the sneak peek is playing and watching everyone—adults, teens, young children—locked TF in as it plays. It’s the best. Bulging eyes. Mouths slight agape. Big goofy smiles. I’m exaggerating a bit but you get what I’m saying. This film is going to do great and be EXCEPTIONAL. The small pocket of the internet that has expressed their hate for this film before seeing will regret allowing their preconceived biases to make them miss out. But that’s on them.

So incredibly excited for this movie! Really seems like everyone hating on this movie has never read any Superman comics like For All Seasons and All Star. It’s very sad, but that’s why I’m starting a podcast at my school to try and get more people into reading and the importance of it in the modern day!

I have watched Reeve-Superman, Superboy on TV, Lois & Clark, The Animated Series, Smallville, Superman Returns, Cavil-Supes, Supergirl, Superman & Lois and My Adventures with Superman. I find something to like in every incarnation. Love a lot ofthings and dońt like some of it. I also read a lot of Superman in Comics. Gunns Superman looks and feels like a version of the character I was waiting for a live adaptation my whole life. I am so ready for a story about a powerful person who does not want to abuse that power. The wholesomeness of Superman is needed. You just have to open your heart to it.

The whole point of Superman is that even he has weakness. That’s why Kryptonite exists. That’s why people say “this is my Kryptonite” when talking about their weakness, It literally comes from this. He’s not One-Punch Man. What makes Superman great is that he also struggles, he gets hurt, he needs help sometimes. That’s what makes him feel more human and relatable. Since when having a dog or getting hurt is emasculating??? I mean bro, we need a plot, there's no movie without obstacles... I’m so glad I don't use Twitter. This is so ridiculous.

The fact that this needs to be a conversation is in itself holistically troublesome.
