In the movie, Superman is frustrated by social media backlash, with the hashtag #SuperShit being mentioned several times as really getting under his skin. Meanwhile, in Lex’s interdimensional world, hundreds of mutant monkeys are shown typing furiously at keyboards, flooding social media with hate against Superman.

370 million flop

I’m sorry that you made your daughter kill herself?

Super man can rape anyone he wants and you wouldn't even know. He needs to go back #supershit

Why doesn't Superman stop Trump? That's really fucking sus they don't even address the idea or just fucking do it. #supershit is right

social media

And just like that, I no longer care.

superman gets trolled online

is this really the best they could come up with

lmao based Lex

Kino

It's over superman! I have depicted you as a söyjack and myself as a chad!

Stop trying to "modernise" Superman. For FUCK'S sake...

For morally bankrupt moral relativists the idea of an inherently good character is a problem. That’s why they keep trying to make Superman into something he’s not. Superman’s most important trait isn’t his powers it’s the fact that he is always 100% certain about doing the right thing. He’s not (or shouldn’t be) morally conflicted.

Gunn needs to get the fuck off twitter for real.

They just discovered that the movie is written and directed by James Gunn? Welp.

Superman's subplot is about social media rage

Lex Luthor plans to defeat Superman by trolling him on social media until he kills himself

Pretty smart

There's a plot point in the movie where Superman takes a shit, flushes it, and the entire sewer system blows up. That's where the hashtag comes from. Yes, this is really in the movie.

MCU Spider-Man gets cancelled, loses everyone he loves for the greater good

sovl

DCEU Superman gets cancelled, obvious "allegory" for Gunn being called out for being a pedo

sovlless

we know youre going to hate this so we addressed that before it was released

That's the kind of thing Gunn would do if you took out his collar. The fact that Warner trusts this man with the whole DCU is pretty funny to me, I can't wait to see this new Superman make Batman & Robin look good.

Superman toy reveals that he will rip the monsters gut during their fight and get covered in goo

Really classy Mr. Gunn

Assuming that's even true,

Writing in an online Superman hate campaign so when people inevitably rip on the movie you could try to twist it into advertising

Didn't the female Ghostbusters tried something similar or am I remembering wrong? That shit was so fucking awful

they started doing this because millennials and zoomers started calling the first 2 boring and now they only enjoy "superman is evil"

We need him more than ever.

The fact that Warner trusts this man with

They have no choice. Just about everything since Nolan's batman trilogy from decades ago has flopped out. Who else can they try? Capeshit audiences want light hearted superhero vibes..

Capeshit audiences want light hearted superhero vibes..

That's what they've done ever since Weadon's JL.

How about an actually good director?

The cinematic universe is dead. Only Marvel got it to work but now nobody cares about them anymore. They should just cut their losses and go back to doing non stop Batman movies.

We have reached cringe levels we never thought possible

mutant monkeys

bit racist.

Gotta love how the makers of this kind of "Gotcha!" comics always resort to made-up quotes to make sure the side they don't like is evil and wrong.

They have no choice

8 billion people in the world, lets trust the Troma's guy. Nah, they had better choices, Gunn was one of the worst

Yeah.
The last pic was created by Grant Morrison for the 2011 reboot, the same guy that wrote All-Star Superman, the book every Superman fan proclaim to love and use as an example of Superman done right or the best Superman there is.
It was also Morrison attempt to bring Superman back to his roots as a folk hero and social champion, trying to fight for the oppressed and going after the corrupt.
The shirt was an attempt to humanize him as a regular guy, salt of the earth, and Morrison even gave him common farmer jeans and working boots.
You can say that Morrison made an error in his attempt to modernize the look, but the idea was all designed to bring the character back to his 30s roots.

The shirt was an attempt to humanize him as a regular guy, salt of the earth, and Morrison even gave him common farmer jeans and working boots.

This could've helped endear the character to the mainstream. Him being just a guy who happens to have powers and wants to do good with them can go a long way.

That's exactly what Grant Morrison attempt to do.
He's essentially wearing common farmer attire, with a Superman shirt his mom made for him, and the blanket he came with as a baby as a cape. He's pretty much a redneck moving to the big city and trying to help everyone with his powers, and getting enraged by the senseless violence and corruption of the big city.

Of course, eventually the editors and other writers forced Morrison's hand, to give him a new high-tech kryptonian suit, full of random lines and such, the same design that Gunn's Superman based their costume on. But before that you had redneck Superman out to save everyone.

I didn't like the comic that much, nor the idea of reboot at all, but to try and twist everything into some "edgy" redesign is just nonsense.

You mean cause current comics and films are woke? Cause no reason for classic Superman to stop him

Man of Steel!

hate campaign

So copying BvS while its supposed to be the "course correction"?

Gunn dont work when he has free hands, then its just goofy aestetics and poop jokes
The first Guardians film worked cause he had to restrain himself and follow certain guidelines and an aestetic

To this day I appreciate Morrison's effort but that book simply doesn't work. Morrison didn't wrote anything interesting in the last 10 years or so, maybe he should go back to drugs, but then again Moore, Ellis and Ennis are on the same boat. Maybe they are just old after all.

Snyder is a an amazing director he just needs actual screenwriters and cinematographer other than himself

he was always shit, he comes of as masturbatory since he tries so hard to be "clever" rather than entertaining
Hes also a cringe "they/them" anda troon enabler

and storyboarders
which leaves him with nothing because he also can't direct actors

Man of Steel and Snyder Cut had good writing, its BvS that stod out with its shit writing
Iron Man 2 wasnt that great either, it was all build up for the MCU, but people didnt call for cancelling the MCU cause of it

Huh.
I actually think BvS is better than MoS and ZSJL.
