Superman has gone woke. That is the message that we're getting out of this latest maga meltdown. right, And that as James Gunn, the writer and director of the new Superman movies, is having to defend himself from a wave of right wing backlash after saying that Superman’s story is an immigrant story. and You know, I should explain that The whole thing, It started over the weekend when The Times of London published an interview with Gunn where he said, “I mean, Superman is the story of America, an immigrant that came from other places and populated the country. But for me, it is mostly a story that says basic human kindness is a value and is something we have lost.” right, And all of this as, I don't know how many people out there have like, no working knowledge about Superman, but I mean, he is he's a literal alien. right, if he's an immigrant crossing the border, he crossed the border into Earth. But still, despite all that context, the usual suspects reacted in the usual ways. And you know, when Fox News covered James Gunn's comments, they put the phrase “super woke” on the chryon and said things like, well, I Think that I'm at no risk of, hurting my 22 year streak of not going to the movie theater. I got to look at the script, and, he's from Uganda, and there's a love scene with Batman and Robin. We don't go to the movie theater to be lectured to, and to have somebody throw their ideology onto us. I wonder if it be successful. You know what it says on his cape? Ms13.
