I have enjoyed zero of the post-Reeve Superman movies--stripping out the joy and the corniness to focus solely on Masks of God Joseph Campbell type shit is a mistake. You can do Masks of God *alongside* joy and corniness; that's the whole lesson of comics. Gunn understands, that if nothing else - ThreadSky

Well stated! I think/hope Gunn gets it as far as what most fans wanna see in a Superman movie

A glimpse into a world filled with people all around the earth along with science-fiction wonders, weird concepts, emotion and colorful cinematography. I can understand why James Gunn quoted All star Superman as an influence for his film, it looks wonderful.

Superman isn’t our savior; he’s the best version of ourselves. He’s an immigrant who wants to give back, to be part of the American story, to help. The version of Superman we need now isn’t one who stands above us but one who stands among us.

I looked like the Cheshire cat when Krytpo showed up.

He is a dude who put on a bunch of primary colors to fight oppression and stand up for ordinary people because we're worth it. Literally everything about him is secondary to that.

semsu.bsky.social•71 days ago

This requires, by the way, something resembling actual oppression. 1930's Superman fought dudes who were diluting children's medicine or building structurally unsafe stadiums. That's gotten lost, but 2025 Superman definitely needs to be wrecking crypto scammers & fascist sheriffs, etc.

Yes! The core of who Superman is a guy who was raised as an everyman who identifies with little guys even as he is physically the most powerful person on the planet. I’m so excited.

It's spelled "Corenswet"

THIS WAS A JOKE.

I did enjoy the previous version but it needed some levity in the mix. This version feels more like a comic book.

harshguy.bsky.social•71 days ago

True, Thank God Gunn make superman smile profusely in that trailer with funny tone

steveramage.bsky.social•71 days ago

Yes to all that. And did you see all that daylight??

antigoneinthebes.bsky.social•71 days ago

Superman - biggest comic character I could never connect with. Didn't see any movie. Might watch this one.

donnyg.bsky.social•71 days ago

I’m the same as you. I would highly recommend All-Star Superman. It made me realize Superman wasn’t an out of date irrelevant superhero.

denniskdraws.bsky.social•71 days ago

Seconding, All Star Superman is what made me fall in love with Superman

jeffemeral.bsky.social•71 days ago

Their pick of any moment to punctuate the trailer and they chose to end on a tender embrace.

Inject every FRAME of this into my soul please!

Have you watched #SupermanandLois show on Max? Check that show out for the joyful good superman as he is in the comics👍

This is perfect. It gives me the vibe of wanting to grab people on the street, say "Have you heard this" and show them this post.

The champion of the oppressed, as the original tag line goes.

angryoldgeek.bsky.social•71 days ago

Hoping he has not forgotten what made his other Superhero movies good.

doldrums.bsky.social•71 days ago

I’ve enjoyed bits and pieces: there was heart/corniness with Routh and a moment here and there with Cavil. But I overall agree and think Gunn will make an enjoyable film even if it’s not perfect.

Rachel Brosnahan looks picture perfect as LL though.

I think I am one of the only folks I know who enjoyed Man of Steel as a stand alone.

I dont think it was great and I hate what they did w Jon it makes no sense, but other than that I liked it & thought Zod was very Zod-y.

0 interest in watching more. (Shazam 1 was good tho havent seen 2).

There's a reason why Kevin Feige watches the Reeve movie before every movie in Marvel Studios.
