"PBS didn't go woke, you grew up to be a shitty person."

Currious also, I think a lot of people are forgetting... in 1946, the superman radio show actually had a 16 episode plot called "the clan of the firey cross", in which superman is protecting a Chinese american family, from a clan of evil doers in white hoods. Not only was the group an unsubtle reference to the KKK, but thanks to a mole in the KKK named Stetson Kennedy, it even used real world up to date for the time secret code words from the actual KKK.

You know your society is psychologically burnt to a crisp when positive values and empathy can't even be "pushed" through fiction, lol.

Fucking James Gunn filled the new Superman with so much woke crap it broke the space-time continuum!

What changed is that right-wingers managed to convince people that Lex Luthor is not a villain but an aspirational figure.

Same reason they like Homelander.

Just saw it, it was a really solid Superman movie. Superman did Superman things against Lex Luthor and acted as Superman acts since his inception.

Somehow this has people upset.

I went in expecting it to be awful, but it might be my new favorite Superman movie. I really enjoyed it.

I think the only issue was it was just 2 hours so all the things could only be touched on. But for those 2hrs I'd say it was executed quite well.

what exactly is upsetting people about Superman?

[-] d00phy@lemmy.world 25 points 2 weeks ago

From what I can tell, that he’s a decent person.

[-] III@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

MAGA takes issue that Superman's Homelander rating is 0 out of 10.

[-] Lumidaub@feddit.org 20 points 2 weeks ago

excellent crop ä/10

I enjoyed the movie.

If being kind to others is too woke, so be it. But the people who believe that can fuck right off.

I look forward to a day when I can stare one of them in the face, have them ask me for some sort of help or support, and then I tell them to fuck off.

Because I'm not Superman.
