Superman (Legacy)- Summer 2025

I saw this today. I was very disappointed by the anti-immigrant message.

If not for the insane (and successful?) gaslighting in the film, I might talk about the figurative neck snap moment. Or tried to overlook it entirely and focus on the fact it's otherwise pretty fun. But bang, zoom, antisemitism in a Superman movie. I didn't think it was even possible.

Nathan Fillion confirmed via a talk show that he, ahem, “kept” Guy Gardner’s Green Lantern ring from the film.

And the gold tooth.

As long as he brings both back in the Lanterns series, I don't mind.

Comic book movies have been trying to be grounded more and more for a long time and I support that. It is actually my preference. But it was fun to watch this total comic book movie not at all interested in grounding. Lex is already full-on comic book villain here. They don't mind being silly at all.

One more pass on the scenes that are supposed to be touching could have given them a lot more weight, but I'm not sure Gunn wanted the weight. The little speech in the last confrontation with Lex just doesn't work for me. The talk with Pa Kent almost gets there, but I would have just changed it a little. They do a thing with Lois where she is just looking around realizing something and it is just enough, but I would have had some dialog on it.

Hawk Girl, who is apparently just a normal human with a magic outfit, screams like a hawk throughout fights and it is really weird.
