Superman, spoilers
Superman thoughts
- it was pretty good
- it's a Dog Movie which is cool
- no origin story it gets right into it, thank fuck
- co-opting the image of Superman into a pro-palestinian one was very surprising
- the emotional beats hit
- after years of terrible action in marvel movies it was refreshing to see competent action in a big-budget superhero movie
- I have never heard of Mr Terrific before but now I am his biggest fan
re: Superman, spoilers
OH and supergirl's cameo was a top-tier superhero cameo, looking forward to that movie now
re: Superman, spoilers
I had heard that Superman was metaphorically pro-palestinian in this movie but I didn't expect it to be so unsubtle about it
re: Superman, spoilers
@wallhackio May I get a summary of the plot? I don't really watch movies, but I am curious what they said about Palestine and why U.S. media establishment allowed to it to get made anyway
re: Superman, spoilers
@vaporeon_ In the film, the fictional country of Boravia, an ally of the United States, wants to destroy the neighboring fictional country of Jarhanpur. Superman stops the invasion and personally threatens the president of Boravia and it becomes a political maelstrom
The film portrays Boravia as unambiguously evil and the people of Jarhanpur celebrate Superman and make a flag with his symbol and hold it high against the forces of Boravia when they invade a second time in the film's climax
