The gay son thing is a new thing resulting from far left activists basically dominating comics.

As far as Jewish creators go, do you think Jews are incapable, or even less capable, of writing a conservative protagonist? Please think before you answer.



Comic writers and artists in general tend to be more left leaning. That's not new. Nor is Superman being supportive of gay characters. His son being bi is fairly recent but he's been a friend and supporter of Maggie Sawyer since the late 80's.

Of course Jewish people are capable of creating conservative characters. I was referencing specifically Siegel and Shuster being Jewish and the children of immigrants as to why they wouldn't have created a conservative Superman. They were both left leaning progressives.

The creator's intent is kind of irrelevant. Superman today is seen and interpreted as a conservative

Also progressive didn't mean the same thing in their time

Cavill is no dummy. He knows he can make that bag - again.

supporting immigrants


Remind me how that's my problem? Or has been the problem for the USA? We've got a history of shutting the doors to all sorts of people, and not just 'immigrants', but hordes of illegals as well. Until recently.

But twice Gunn's DC chose to dump on "..the American way" slogan. First with Superman, then with Supergirl, 'whatever".

And we're talking about the STORY and LORE of Superman, not those who made him up.

Try and keep up.

Francis Lawrence says he is “more hopeful” that ‘CONSTANTINE 2’ will happen now that James Gunn & Peter Safran have left DC Studios.

“Not that I want anybody to lose their jobs… We have a script, we’ve been wanting to make it, and the people that were at DC were an impediment to us making it.

So, we are now more hopeful as of yesterday’s news that maybe now there will be another opportunity.”

The one with Keanu that's been in development? That's very interesting

I'm guessing Abdy and DeLuca were interested but Gunn wasn't

Well Gunn and Safran reported directly to Zsalav so I don't think Abdie/deluca would've been able to approve it anyway. they were on equal footing.

I bring it up because I'm listening to Campea melt about that reporting structure and them being let go right now

Rush Limbaugh and Elton John are friends

Dave Ruben and Ben Shapiro are buddies.

Plenty of conservatives support gay marriage.

That's a reach

so legal immigrants, or their children, are unlikely to create conservative protagonists?

This is getting silly.

Do you think "conservative" means far-right? Maybe that is where you are getting confused.

Now was Superman anti-Nazi? Yes

He was also anti-Commie. The same old book with him going after Hitler, he also nabbed Stalin.

By today's standard, he would have been considered a center-right populist with extremely conservative-coding.

Well when the opposing side is literally “The Anti-Life Equation” everything that isn’t in the cult is deemed conservative.

An example of class? Didn't Gunn post one time about how he likes little boys touching his junk?

Grillo is his personal friend so of course he’s going to take up for him. Nothing wrong with him having his buddy’s back but again, watch the podcast, you’ll wonder how Gunn ever made it past middle school.

You see, there are different rules for people with certain political leanings.

Based on the site on which this discussion is taking place, yes I did kind of assume that most posters meant far right when saying conservative.

Make those racial jokes (or jokes about gays or jokes about Muslims or damn near anything except white men) instead of kiddie jokes and he never works in Hollywood, so I guess we know what offends them more.

I thought it was just 1 or 2 tweets. That's a sick fricker and so is anybody who thought he should make movies for kids. I thought some of the vitriol towards him was weird but I get it now.
