Krypton, you fucking magaloons.

I don’t get the whole thing about the right wing
complaint about being “lectured to“ it seems like that’s their worst fear. To them getting sick and poor is OK as long as they don’t get “lectured to“

They are sick and tired of it.

They are also composed of a higher percentage of economic losers. They have been particularly taken advantage of by billionaires, but are generally too stupid to realize it. So they revere them. They are also sure that the goobermint is the reason they have not done better economically, that it is the only reason they are not millionaires.

They generally work as hard as the other 50% because Americans in general do work hard. But they have outsized ideas of their own abilities and of the power of red states. They think they live in producer states and Democrats live in "taker" states whereas the truth is the other way around.

That certainly hit the nail on the head!

are and it doesn't match with their idea that they are the "good guys" when, in fact, they are the villains....their Idol TACO is a movie villain that would never be used because it would be "too over the top evil".

They say they're the good guys, these MAGAts, but they can't look too closely at the things they do or say, because deep down they know that they are not the good guys and it makes them angry.

BTW, Jesus was a refugee.

And don’t you dare correct them!

They like simple stories like the confederacy was right and Columbus was a good guy who found America.

Were conservatives, if they had been we would be taking our tea in the afternoons and watching Keeping up Appearances on the BBC…..

And angry over shit. Literally it is impossible to make something they can't lose their shit over. Without the need to feel oppressed by a system, they are empty inside. They have nothing else in their core being.

That’s what it about I think.i heard some chatter about how bad it was on talk radio. Its woke. 🙄


Superman is Jewish. I’ll add the AI overview below (which is accurate). He drops in the middle of Kansas, can’t let anyone know what he is, and feels like he has to be better-always. He has to show that he’s of good character (truth and justice).


*suggest - like they’d ever use that word. Everything is definitive

While Superman himself isn't explicitly Jewish in the comics, his creation and backstory are deeply influenced by the Jewish heritage of his creators, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.
Here's why many see Superman as a Jewish allegory:
Jewish creators: Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, who created Superman, were both Jewish and sons of immigrants from Eastern Europe fleeing antisemitism. Their experiences likely shaped many aspects of the character.
Immigrant narrative: Superman's story of being sent from a dying world (Krypton) to a new land (Earth) and assimilating while retaining his true identity resonates with the immigrant experience, particularly that of Jewish immigrants to the United States. His alter-ego, Clark Kent, hiding his true identity can be seen as mirroring the assimilation process.
Biblical parallels:
Moses: Superman's origin story of being sent away in a vessel to escape destruction before being raised by another family is reminiscent of the story of Moses.
Samson: His immense strength and fighting for justice echo the biblical figure of Samson.

The narration in the opening credits describes him as a "strange being from another planet".
They go through life looking for things to be outraged about. Just grievance collectors.

probably will enjoy it too...

Then they'll go on their platforms and cry about it more.

where du u think he came from and guess what ,, u have been sovingg your idology and "religon" on us for years

....many of the early mythology of Superman is easily identifiable with the Jewish experience. Oh, well, they may not be the ones who will "freak out".

My apologies. Behind a paywall.

And why does Watters scoff at it? What a jerk.

We live in the worst script Hollywood ever wrote.

The movie will be either good or not. GOD FORBID there are messages of civility and humanity in it. If that's not your bag then I am sure you can get over it.

You don't goto the movies to be "preached to" or have ideology advanced, but the very moment some movie comes out with a "right wing" bend they don't say the same thing.

My view is art should do art. NO boundries. It can be left wing or right wing and let the chips fall where they may.

If the shit is good I'll like it. I mean I think Merle Haggard's song Okie From Musgokee is a good song, I love it. I don't really agree with the point he's trying to make, but he's honest and the delivery is excellent. I am able to listen to stuff or even see stuff I may not agree with.

How about "Sweet Home Alabama". It showed the Liberal as a stuffy bunch of assholes and the country people as wonderful salt of the earth people who even EMBRACED their gay friend. Is that more of what you want KellyAnne? I mean except for the gay part.

… fights the never-ending battle for Truth, Justice, and the American Way.

I was a small kid watching Superman on our B/W TV, and I just drank that up. I grew up believing that Truth, Justice, and the American Way were good things — not bad as part of an ethical guide for life.

What the hell is wrong with people today?

with no documentation who came through the open border of outer space. How would Trump build a wall to keep such space aliens out I wonder. I'm not sure the masked ICE offices would want to arrest him though.

... things to yell about.

And from a young age, was doing farm labor in Kansas.

Oh, and he had a Jewish name, Kal-El.

No wonder the reich-wingers are getting their rope belts in such a twist...

Those RW whinings won't have an iota of impact of the box office receipts for this movie.

Gunn is trying to save his box office receipts after having marginal reviews.

Don't we have enough IRL instances of injustice to expose? Does arguing over a cartoon character catalyze the conversation?

I would argue that it minimalizes it.

propagated by the same sociopathic mentalities who turn a Black Star Wars stormtrooper, a little mermaid, and anything else contrary to their myopic throwback world view, or that stirs their pathetic sense of VICTIMHOOD into yet another "culture war."

But then again, these are the same mentalities who, for more than two seasons, hadn't realized Homelander (The Boyz) was a sick fk sociopath.

(which should tell us something)

So the 'argument' isn't over fictional characters, but about ideals, ideologies, and principles..

about who rejects them, and WHY.

It really hadn’t occurred to me before.

That simple fact colors every comic, movie, cartoon, or TV series in which the character's ever appeared. It's as important to his identity as wealthy-orphan is to Batman's. Numerous movies have depicted his illegal arrival in the USA, and somehow none ever ran into this bullshit ideology until now. How far we have fallen...

...Look at books/comics/movies/etc and come up with themes, or say the story is really about X -- and I kinda just roll my eyes (for instance one of my professors in college who argued forcefully that Jaws was really about the Vietnam War). But the theme of Superman being an immigrant is obvious and has been from the 1930s. Maybe not an illegal immigrant per se, but definitely not from here, and his adoption of our values to help save us, is strikingly obvious.

Lessens the chance I'll be sitting in proximity of the morons when I go see it.

He was totally undocumented.

It’s an important part of his backstory that both of his parents were killed in the explosion of Krypton.

As an aside, Superman was also an anchor for Supergirl and Superdog.

WTF can ICE do to him?
