I mean he was literally created by Jews during the time of Hitler as an inversion of the Nazi ideal of a "super man" who would go around beating up Nazis. His origin story is basically just space Moses, and his Kryptonian name "Kal-El" is formatted like the name of an angel, containing the name "El" meaning "God" (compare MichaEL, GabriEL etc.) Superman has been anti-fascist and pro-minority since his inception.
Nobody cares about objective reality anymore. Once we started letting people live in their own worlds of "feel facts" without consequence, lest someone throw stones at our own escapism cognitive biases, we ceded control of the world to the loudest and most hateful people.
There is no convincing people of anything anymore because they can just close their ears and go somewhere more comfortable. If they face no repercussions and can not only get praise for being hateful but even raise money and become celebrities, what do we really think is going to result from explaining things anymore?
I mean... He's literally an alien that came here illegally.
Is MAGA stupid? Don't answer that, it was rhetorical.
Asmongold. Enough said. Also, most conservative men are opposed to bathing. Something something washing assholes is gay.
They are stupid, useless, and gross.
You mean the guy who lives like a pig and has cockroaches climbing on his shirt while live streaming his newest rage fit should not be listened to?
Seriously, what is wrong with his viewers? The content is shit brought to them by someone living in his own literal shit.
I thought you were exaggerating so I googled it and what the fuck man.
I don't understand why anybody watches a dude who lives in filth and go, "Ah yeah this guy has good opinions on things!"
Those people usually see him and think "He's just like me!"
Bible: "Jesus says to love your neighbor."
MAGA: "Why do you have to make it political?!"
From a 1949 book cover distributed to schools by DC.
MAGA is basically opposed to truth, justice, and the American way, aren't they?
America has two souls battling and it always has. It's Paine and Franklin vs the southern founders. It's Jefferson vs himself. One soul says we're a nation built on the idea that all people are created equal, with fundamental rights, and that government should be more controlled than the citizens. The other soul looks at a nation founded by genocide and slavery, with early settlers being the puritans after they lost power in the UK and think that's what they think America should be.
Each side considers the other un-American because we want different Americas
“We don’t go to the movie theater to be lectured to and to have somebody throw their ideology onto us.” Jesse Watters added
People like him is why AI slop movies are going to be successful. They just want to watch pretty pictures and see the American flag waving at the end, not be intellectually challenged and entertained.
How could someone take umbrage there? Like... read his origin story. He was born on Krypton. He got dropped on Earth. He was adopted by folks in Kansas. If I told people I found a child who drifted across the Rio Grande and adopted him as my own, we'd all agree he was probably from Mexico and not a native born citizen. But apparently him drifting in from SPACE changes the narrative?
Hmm, an endangered child's parents send him in a craft to be found and adopted by others, assuring his safety. You'd think that would resonate with MAGA Evangelicals, who should recognize the story of Moses.
Bold of you to think they read any part of the bible except the ones they can twist for the sake of hatred.
Dude is from another planet but magat get upset he is called an immigrant.
zack Snyder has made people forget that superman is supposed to be likeable and do good things for the sake of it
All these things haven't suddenly become woke, YOU JUST BECAME A RACIST BIGOTED XENOPHOBIC ASSHOLE!!! AKA MAGA.
Well, Superman is an illegal immigrant. I don't think they have a US consulate in Kypton.
I don't think they have much on Krypton anymore.
Does that make him a refugee?
Only if he actually applies for refugee status.
How can you not know Superman's origin story? Apart from the comics its been retold in every major movie version too. He literally is and always was (weird retcons aside) an immigrant.
Excuse me ~~Jesus~~Superman is white, therefore American!
A literal alien.
I hate the director for deciding to associate a fictional character with societal issues.
Has there been any movie where fictional characters aren't associated with societal issues? I ask because I'm pretty sure every single movie does this.
Edit: OP Deleted their comment.
Superman got into the action 85 years ago.

Superman is woke and also "antifa".
{shudders, and clutches pearls harder}
Show me a piece of fiction which has nothing to say about societal issues and I'll show you a fucking boring piece of fiction.
How dare we suggest that Superman doesn't reflect the full Aryan image? Sorry, I misspelled MAGA
MAGA Outrage Over Director Saying Superman Is an Immigrant
(We're about a decade too late, and our engorged trolls are now our leaders, but still...)
Party of "fuck your feelings" huh? MAGA biggest cry babies out there. Guess it makes sense.
They really do live in their own little bubble huh? Like dude is a literal alien, and they think he is a home grown hero.
I have more than a few things to say to the face of those people.
Wasn't there a comic where Superman renounces his US citizenship ?
The Man of Steel’s declaration, “I’m tired of having my actions construed as instruments of U.S. policy,” follows accusations that he caused an international incident in Tehran. Superman flew to the country during a huge protest, where he stood silent for one day, to show his support for the demonstrators. The 24 hours pass with a mix of appreciation (flowers and flags) and fear (hurled Molotov cocktails). But the government of Iran sees Superman as an agent of the United States and feels his action is an act of war. “Truth, justice and the American way – it’s not enough anymore,” Superman tells the president’s national security adviser. “The world’s too small. Too connected.” He then makes the decision to go before the United Nations and renounce his American citizenship.
DCU heads in their best J. Jonah Jameson voice:
FIND ME A SINGLE TWEET THAT MAKES A CONTROVERSY OF THIS MOVIE!! WE NEED FREE PUBLICITY DAMMIT!!! IT WORKED FOR DISNEY, IT WILL WORK FOR US!! GET ME ~~THOSE PICTURES~~ THAT TWEET!!!!
They were hoping to see a movie about the Ubermensch, not this woke comic book fake news!
Nah jk they don't read.
They don't want Superman; they want Homelander.
Lex Luthor: Make America Great Again! Krypton has not sent us their best or finest. Kryptonians are all rapists and drug dealers. Also, I am looking at stripping Bruce Wayne and Diana Prince of their citizenship because they say mean things about me.
