Superman

they really got the casting right with david corenswet because he DOES look like he’d have a bisexual son and be super embarrassingly supportive about it (james gunn i am patiently waiting for live action jon kent adaptation)  ok now that my jokey letterboxd review is out of the way, THIS IS MY SUPERMAN!!! WHAT THE HAY DUDE!!!! david corenswet you have bewitched me, body and soul. this was fun and campy and sweet and earnest and silly and inspiring and heartwarming and cheesy and hopeful like i think all superhero movies, especially a superman movie, should be. KRYPTO THE SUPERDOG FUCKING RULES!! a criticism often leveled against superman is that he’s “boring.” i think that this film completely dispels that. he’s not infallible, he’s vibrantly human and has all of the baggage that comes along with it. he’s an alien sent to earth who protects the very humanity that he can never truly relate to. in my opinion, the best bit of characterization in the movie was superman taking the time to save a SQUIRREL from getting crushed under a falling building. he wants to save a skyscraper sized monster and send it to a “galactic zoo” instead of killing it. he’s kind and hopeful and sees the best in people (very nearly to a fault). i cant say how happy i am to finally see the TRUE superman on the big screen.  if james gunn treats the batfam with this level of reverence and level of comic book silliness i will owe him my life. WE WANT SUPERBAT!!!!! JAMES GUNN GIVE US SUPERMAN/BATMAN BESTFRIENDISM AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!! (i really want superbat boyfriendism but ik that’s unfortunately out of the question).  the side characters also banged!! hawk girl, green lantern, and mr terrific were so fun. i cant wait to see other dc characters represented in this universe.
