look even tho i absolutely hate the season of sequels/reboots we're in, i'm so excited for the superman movie. i think it was so needed bc we just hadn't found our superman yet. marvel has had massive success by essentially creating the marvel characters irl, casting each person carefully and adjusting the tone of each movie to fit that respective character. the justice league movies didn't have that same feeling. it felt a lot more like a-list actors playing these roles rather than bringing the comic book chrs to life. that's why i'm so excited for this new superman. james gunn seems to have brought new life into the DCU and captured the lighter, more hopeful, and sillier side of superman that DC so desperately needed. don't get me wrong, i absolutely adore henry cavil, but i think the writing for his character was trying wayyyyy too hard to be dark and edgy and cool. this superman is a cute, bumbling, awkward alien doing his best to fit in on earth while saving the city from a wild collection of villains. that's it. that's all we needed. this superman is fun. he's romantic. he's heroic. he's saving little kids and lifting buildings and walking through fire unscathed. that's superman.
