Superman

So unbelievably jealous of the kid behind me having David Corenswet as his Superman and Robert Pattinson as his Batman.  THIS IS WHAT A SUPERMAN MOVIE IS SUPPOSED TO BE. HE’S SUPPOSED TO LOVE HUMANITY AND EARTH AND THAT’S WHY HE SAVES PEOPLE. NOT BECAUSE HE HAS TO.  Can’t contain my excitement about how hope-filled I am right now. James Gunn cannot miss for superhero movies for me.  David Corenswet is what I wanted from Superman. He will be who I picture when I think of Superman.  Rachel Brosnahan does not miss a fucking BEAT as Lois Lane, and the interview scene proves it.  Nicholas Hoult proves he’s one of the greatest actors working today by being the perfect sniveling brat who’s also the smartest person the workd has seen.  I could go on and on about how perfect this cast is, but I’ll talk about one last casting choice…. MA AND PA KENT LOOKING LIKE YOUR AVERAGE MIDWEST FARMERS AND NOT RICH ASS PEOPLE UGGHHHH. Can’t believe how many houses I’ve seen like that in the delta, and how many married couples who are just like Ma and Pa Kent.  I’m filled with so much hope and love for humanity and Earth after that movie, and that’s how you’re supposed to feel with Superman. He’s not boring. If you think Superman is boring then you think humanity itself is boring.  I love that I got to see this with my really good friend Ashton. He’s an absolute nerd about this stuff and he feels he can share that with me. He makes me want to read comics now. Insane.  There’s a shot right after Superman saves a woman from a building that reminds me of what Zach Snyder wanted to do with his Superman, and it just exceeds it SO much more than anything Snyder did. Sorry to compare.  I loved this movie. I teared up/cried three times. I will be seeing it again with Ashton soon, and I can’t wait.  The world needs this kind of movie so much. Some might say that the undertones of what Gunn wrote might be woke, but to that I say you truly do not understand what comic books were and are to this day. Superman is to show that all of humanity is good. The X-Men were made as an allegory to the Civil Rights Movement. To now call comic books movies or superheroes in general is ignorant, and a complete misunderstanding of the art form and arts in general. Sorry, I just had to get that off my chest.
