Just remember; when someone says “don’t make it political,” that’s a statement with a political agenda.

Call them out on that bullshit.

Remember when Dean Cain and Kristy Swanson starred in an "exposé" about Obamagate?

[–] WiseScorpio@lemmy.world 21 points 2 weeks ago

Everyone this movie matters to already understands Superman enough not to be bothered by the comments of some has-been actor who clearly never understood the character he portrayed.

Check out Model Minority by Cory Doctorow.
It's about an unnamed superhero (who wears a red cape, and a spandex suit with a big S on it, and is engaged to a journalist named Lois, and his best friend/rival is named Bruce (who has a bat-themed alter ego)... anyway) who realizes that the cops are just beating people up and hiding it, so he makes a stand, but isn't quite sure about how to do so.

Cory Doctorow is a writer who I want to love, i like the plot descriptions of his work and he seems like a really smart and with it person, but his writing style just doesn't spark joy. It feels like work. IDK how to describe it, I just can't get in the flow with his writing.

What an ignorant bitch.

He couldn't be possibly have been created by Immigrants /s

Looks up Joe Shuster birth place... Toronto, Ontario, Canada with his mother being from Ukraine

Looks up Jerry Siegel parents were from Lithuania

Hell looking up their parents if superman couldn't be an Immigrant he would be a Soviet.

Also Dean Cain has always been a has been loser for a long time now.

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago

We're still getting Dean Cain's opinion on things? Whoever wrote this article could have avoided all the torture by ignoring that Christofascist xenophobe like the rest of us.

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 weeks ago

Ah yes, Superman. The all American hero... Created by a Canadian.

[–] Apeman42@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago

Dollar Store Jerry O'Connell is still around? Figured he'd have drank himself to death about 10 years after Lois and Clark ended.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago

Sorry, I forgot you existed Dean Cain.

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 weeks ago

I'm going to guess that James Gunn isn't going to take career advice from...checks notes...Dean fucking Cain.

[–] Octavio@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

Welp. All I have to say about that is: fuck Dean Cain.

[–] Theoriginalthon@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah he made a mistake, superman isn't a immigrant, he's a refugee

[–] MyBrainHurts@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't think everyone has to have read the original source material to enjoy something made from that material.

But if you're going to complain about it being faithful to the source material? Naw, that's in no way legit.

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 14 points 2 weeks ago (17 children)

Plus... Like, definitionally, Superman was not born on US soil or to American parents. He doesn't have birthright citizenship

He's a literal alien with a fake identity, at the very least he's an immigrant, in every canon

I kinda wish they had gone for an actor of middle eastern descent, or perhaps even immigrant status, to portray Supes. For no reason other than to piss off the bigots.

[–] Bubbaonthebeach@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 weeks ago

Trump's wife is an immigrant. Trump's parents were immigrants. Many people who are immigrants don't like immigrants because immigrant is code for "someone I don't like for x reason".

[–] herseycokguzelolacak@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Dean Cain is a "has been". He hasn't been on anything important in decades.

I've never cared about anything superman related because it is just the most boring premise of a character to me. what's the best way not get lumped in with idiots like this?
