Superule

Motherfuckers really grow up watching these plots and then side with the same shitheads as the bad guys in those.

Oh god yes.
And don't get me started on right-wing X-Men fans.
- It’s wild to me that they’ve adopted The Punisher logo as a right wing symbol.

Watching all the trailers for this film and I'm so "meh" about it. It doesn't feel like it's going to be a successful movie, and I think because there's no public appetite for more super hero throwaway shit due to the tension the current political climate is fostering.

It is much harder to stomach the whole "truth, justice and the American way" bullshit when it's been so nakedly exposed to be a huge lie.
- That's why I appreciated Sinners so much.
  Give me more monologues like that.
  These are the stories I've been waiting my whole life for. I've found them in dark, private spaces till now. But writ large by major directors? Ah that feels good.
- Part of why I enjoyed The Winter Soldier so much
  Oh, the government agency has been taken over by nazis? How topical…
- Plus, it's superman. Its a boring premise that's been beaten to death at this point. Nobody gives a crap about it; at least with spiderman they've done unique villains every time they reboot it. Superman's rogues gallery is kinda crap for variety.
It is James Gunn so if you liked Guardians of the Galaxy and/or The Suicide Squad (the good one without Will Smith) then I'm guessing it will be fun as there is a lot going on in the trailers and it includes things from the comics that are normally excluded from superhero movies for being too 'weird' like a super powered dog.
It might not be as popular with general audiences as other versions for the reasons you mention whether it is good or not.
I only watched the first trailer that came out for it but it left me kind of excited for it which more than I can say about any other trailer I've seen recently. The tone of it certainly seemed more upbeat than the other superhero stuff that's come out which is refreshing. Me and my friend are using it as a reason to go hang out this weekend which is about the only thing I have so look forward to right now so I'll appreciate it for that if nothing else

What if we ruined their lawns and cars with paint, or... maybe some delegitimizing posters, fliers.. and even better, what if we gave them a (completely voluntary and widespread organized) incompetent work force!

there's many ways to ruin the plans (or the pants haha) of a billionaire, but remember the safety of the people is more important. Off topic, but i love strawberries, that's all! :)

If you can get into their gated communities and properties, have at it.
- Reports of lost clothes caught on fences have risen.. and missing car batteries?
  Clearly paranormal activity 🤷‍♀️

how was kal el illegal? there were no laws against extraterrestrial beings, were there?

He came to America without a visa as an unaccompanied minor, and his "parents" falsified records to claim him as their own.
- Going to need that comic book where ICE arrests Superman and he punches a ICE's facemask off to reveal a KKK hood.
- Actually, and this may not apply to the current/new Superman but likely would the original Superman, based on the Nationality Act of 1940 Superman could be considered a child found in the United States with unknown parentage.
He wasn't born in the US, he just landed there.
If he is a citizen, then Ma and Pa Kent knowingly forged the paperwork and his citizenship is invalid.
- an arctic tern isn't a birth citizen. a canadian goose isn't a birth citizen. they just lands there in winter en route to warmer climes.
  it's not illegal for them to do so.
  kal el was as human as ET. laws made for man should not apply to him.
If they aren't a birth citizen they're an immigrant by default, and generally speaking you need permission to cross a border, even from the sky.
- that logic would make all migratory birds illegal. imaginary lines drawn by men do not have legal significance in such cases (except for smuggling scenarios, which kal el's was not).
