Superman isn't woke. You're just so evil that you see a man doing acts of kindness and you think it's a targeted political agenda

[otakuvampyre]

This but for people this post is talking about. 🤣

Get peer reviewed, bitch.

This is important because Superman is a subversion of the ideal of the ubermensch (which he is named for) that was popular in the time he was created

The basic idea of the ubermensch was that of a man who bowed to no one and did things their own way, unconstrained by the rest of humanity

Naturally the nazis ran with this as "the superior race (aryans) shall dominate the lesser races because it is natural that those of greater power shall rule as they please"

And thus Superman-a creation of Jews-turning around and using their power for good kindness and the betterment of humanity, was a spit in the nazis face, all while using the literal translation of ubermensch as his name, to the point that the term is more linked with the character than its original (or the nazis interpretation) meaning in the popular consciousness

lighthearted movies with black characters in them because we deserve movies that aren't about slavery, racism, police brutality, and the lik

“Every film is political. Most political of all are those that pretend not to be: 'entertainment' movies. They are the most political films there are because they dismiss the possibility of change. In every frame they tell you everything's fine the way it is. They are a continual advertisement for things as they are.” — Wim Wenders

[macbethz]

"It is, in fact, peculiarly difficult to take [entertainment films] seriously. The films themselves set up a deliberate resistance: they are so insistently not serious, so knowing about their own escapist fantasy/pure entertainment nature, and they consistently invite the audience’s complicity in this. To raise serious objections to them is to run the risk of looking a fool (they’re “just entertainment,” after all) or, worse, a spoilsport (they’re “such fun”). Pleasure is indeed an important issue."
