They say that escapism media tends to be a response to the particular anxieties of an era. Probably pretty telling that this looks like it's going to be a multi-lateral, consensus-building, hope-inspiring take on Superman.
Truth, Justice, and [what we were sold as children should be] the American Way.
Also, KRYPTO! Dyno-Mutt and Blue Falcon movie when???
Didn't actually watch the trailer to see if they use the old "American Way" slogan, but they changed it a few years back to "Truth, Justice, and a Better Tomorrow" which I quite like
That is better, even just as a calculated marketing notion. The trailer didn't actually have the slogan, just very traditionally wholesome Superman imagery, stuff like Supes being saved by a happy superdog, taking a big hit to save a child, hanging out on the Smallville porch with Pa Kent, that sort of thing. There are also at least two costumes in the trailer, and one of them is very old-timey with square-cut trunks.
Seems like Gunn has been tasked with channeling the Christopher Reeve movies and rebooting the Justice League (hopefully not entirely in in a single movie again), and doing all of it with more heart than the Snyderverse take on DC. Tall order, but he has shown he knows how to deliver the Superhero goods that the studios want while playing around on the edges enough to keep the formula fresh, so I might actually watch this one.
We still need a Solo BatFleck movie but he's too old now
Why not use the old cartoon version. "Truth, Justice, and Peace."
Forgot that Krypto was in this
Sharing my comment[0] from !dcstudios@lemmy.world:
I loved the teaser, but the thought that kept running through my head was that, aside from the style, colour palette, and a more varied supporting cast, this iteration feels very similar to the previous one: We still have a serious, bruised Superman enduring the public’s ire.
I find it ironic, given that the main critique of the character over the past decade was precisely this portrayal.
Perhaps the full trailer will distinguish the themes better.
Either way, I look forward to the movie.
This looks genuinely cool.
Looks pretty good (please dont suck please don't suck)
Seeing Nathan Fillion with a bowl cut really throws me off. I think he would have been a better Hal Jordan.
Looks pretty dope. Too bad my mom won’t let me watch DC movies after how bad Batman v Superman was.
Is your mother's name MARTHA?
I cringed so hard
this trailer tells me nothing. my only interaction with superman is some comics from the 60s, so i know krypto the wonder-dog, but since when is "there is a dog" something that you put triumphant music over?
since when is “there is a dog” something that you put triumphant music over
Since today, LOL.
The general vibe here is that this Suprman is good and kind, and the trailer is directly tying that notion to triumph. We'll see if the movie bears that out (and if it's just generally any good). Watching the trailer, I assume there's going to be a part either at the beginning or in the middle where a set-piece in the more muted Snyder-y action-y suit is going to go very wrong and provoke a period of reflection, but I assume he'll accept his inherent cheesy goodness by the last act.
the vibe i got is that he's angry and stressed...
this trailer tells me nothing
In the day and age where trailer seems to be oversharing info in multiple trailers, this is good news to me. And as always i'll stop watching any trailer after this.
I was expecting to hear “Do You Wanna Taste It” start playing during that closeup of Supe’s bloody mouth.
I'm glad this seems to be a comic book Superman and not another standalone origin story. IMO "Man of Steel" was pretty much the perfect solo superman origin story movie.
Not impressed, tbh , henry was a great superman, this one looks weak unfortunately
The costume looks like shit lol
