    Talk about a misrepresentation of the Superman story. There is next
    to no focus on his immigration status.

    I think Gunn is doing a great job tanking the movie.

    | In the Man of Steel's early years, his real-world foes were
    | much more formidable than The Five. On April 24, 1940, the
    | United Press ran a story that was syndicated in newspapers
    | across the country: "'Superman' Poisoning American
    | Children, Irate Nazis Claim," was the headline that
    | accompanied the report in the Springfield Leader and Press.

    | MAGA's tantrum over "woke" Superman is nastier than their
    | usual whining
    |
    | Lying about the character's legacy is part of the larger
    | right-wing project to rewrite history
    | ...
    | This is all very dumb, but what was striking was how
    | brazenly dishonest it was. If there is one thing that
    | everybody knows about Superman, it's that he's an alien who
    | was smuggled to Earth. Being a refugee is as central to the
    | character as the cheek dimples and the broad chest. It
    | would be one thing if the Fox hosts were disputing the
    | values of the movie. In the age of Department of Homeland
    | Security Secretary Kristi "Puppy Killer" Noem, we get that
    | "be nice to dogs" is an ideology that MAGA loathes. No,
    | what makes this next-level evil is they were denying a
    | centerpiece of the character's history as well-known as the
    | date of Independence Day and the colors of the American
    | flag.
