Craziest thing about people saying superman is woke now is that the movie doesn’t even have a minor plot point of anything “woke”. He’s just nice. He’s just a good fucking person like he always has been. Nothing has changed about his character.

Arguably, the best part of Superman for me was how direct it was in what they were trying to say, especially right now.

It is more than just "good vs. evil", there is literally *zero* defense for the evil. The main villain is the CEO of a weapons company operating privately with multiple governments, and his entire rationale for doing what he does is because he's so insanely xenophobic that he'd rather see the world burn than see Superman simply exist. The country he's funding is literally invading another country under the guise of "saving them" where in reality, the president explicitly says he wants them all dead. And the US is allied with them for no other reason in that they help line their pockets. God, how I've missed villains like that, especially ones who reflect the ones we see in real life.

And on the good side of things, Superman simply wants people to live freely and happily, including himself. That's it. There's no "secret fucked up moral" that he has, nor is there a "secret good side" to Lex. It's just "here is a good person, and here is a bad person", and it has still managed to immensely piss a certain group of people off.

Overall, I think this film's message succeeds and does it well. And it just feels even more worthwhile when the main character is quite literally an "immigrant alien" himself. I really hope James Gunn gets to lead more superhero projects in the future, because I've been enjoying all of them so much.

But yeah. Go watch this film. Nicholas Hoult the actor that you are.

It is so important to me that it is JOURNALISM and good journalism that ultimately puts Lex away. As an aspiring journalist, I hear a lot about how the industry is dying and won't be around and why it's not important anymore. I also have very real issues with media and newspapers as they exist today and how they sensationalize news, particularly sensitive news. HOWEVER, this movie said, despite all that, despite fake news and AI and today's media landscape, journalism is important. Journalism that calls out the people in power and operates from a thirst for truth and knowledge is important and has very real power to change things, and that means a lot to me (even if the rest of the movie didn't already)

Something I really loved in the new Superman that I haven’t seen anyone mention:

When that building is falling down over the bridge, Superman is saving one woman in a car. Usually in superhero movies or TV procedurals with emergency services, if it’s a woman in a car she also has a child or a crying baby to “raise the stakes” and make you care. But for this Superman, and in the context of this movie, it’s enough to just be a woman alone in a shitty car that won’t start right. She doesn’t need to be a mother for the stakes to be high enough that Superman uses his body to stop an entire skyscraper.

It was small, but it felt really powerful to me the moment I saw it.

Absolutely LOVE the fact that unlike most superhero movies, Superman didn’t do everything.

It was set up as “oh no Metropolis and Jarhanpur are in trouble! He needs to quickly finish one and then help the other!” But no. Instead he just called his friends and they stepped in where he couldn’t. Even at Metro, he had Mr. Terrific’s help.

This is not a one-god-army kinda Superman. This is a I-could-try-to-do-it-all-or-I-can-ask-others-to-step-in-when-needed and isn’t that the crux of humanity right now? All of us may not be able to go where the problems are happening but we can help those who are there. We can also face the problems happening in our neighbourhood with people who can’t be close but can help in whatever way they can.

Because, sure, Superman could do it all himself. But that inevitably leads to a Superman who is stretched too thin and getting increasingly weary. But having people he knows he can rely on? Well isn’t that the best power anyone can have…
