No, you don’t understand my point, because you think I’m talking about Superman’s “politics.” I’m talking about James Gunn’s politics and him using Superman as a mouthpiece for them. Superman doesn’t have politics in the sense I’m talking about. He’s just on the side of freedom, peace, and good. Classic moral tropes that virtually everyone supports, because without context, they’re just ideals. When you contextualize them with modern, real-world events though, they become political messaging, and that’s what I don’t like in a superhero movie.
So, how is the plot of the movie any different from one of the comic stories? How do you feel they did it wrong? What part of Sean James Gunn’s politics do you take issue with in regards to how he portrayed Superman?

The fuck do you think Superman is doing in the comics?
I can see you’re running out of juice, so I won’t press you further. Have a good night.
Answer the fucking question.
Nah, I don’t pander to pissants.
You’ve never read a Superman comic.
I’ve read plenty. You just don’t understand my criticisms of this film. Not my problem.

SeanJames Gunn’s politics do you take issue with in regards to how he portrayed Superman?The part where he makes aspects of the story clearly allegorical to real-world events. Are you seriously debating that he’s doing this?
Edit: And it’s James Gunn. Sean Gunn is only in there for a cameo.
