re: James Gunn Says ‘Superman’ Is An “Immigrant” Story About “Basic Human Kindness”

You can discuss celebrities discussing politics on the poli board....

Posts like this really have nothing to do with this movie

You've got idiots protesting illegal immigrants being deported yet wave the flag of another country.

gun calling Superman an immigrant shouldn't have needed a thread. it isn't even controversial. But people see the word immigrant and have to go on their political soap box

I DO find it humorous that we are actually discussing the legal documentation status of a make believe comic book character in terms of US immigration law.

There's always one or two on every board who think they are. Simultaneously saying we should ignore what Gunn said while not taking their own advice and ignoring this thread

Lol, this is funny. Superman base on his kindess message is as far as being from woke as it is. I believe Disney Marvel has a hand in this in an effort to hurt Superman Box office sales.

Anyone that knows superman, KNOWS he is the best kind of Immigrant the so call MAGA and Conservative crowd like. For one he loves the country he lives in and is proud to be an AMerican. Two, he isn't sucking on the Welfare of the state but instead got a job and paying taxes. Three, when he found out he could technically be conistute as an Illegal Immigrant, in his SUperman guise he went and got himself naturalized saying his oath with the rest of the common man.

Superman has adopted assimilation after learning about his hertigage. He does not force KRypton culture down people throat and when people hates him for whatever reason, he doesn't start destorying public property. He understands why cause he's an outsider.

This little line in particular:

When asked how the blockbuster may be perceived in predominantly red versus blue states, especially amid prevailing anti-immigrant and refugee sentiment, Gunn responded, “Yes, it plays differently,

Is right, because Red states has no problem with Immigrants. They have a problem with Illegal immigrants. Big distinction. For those that come over to america the legal way and go into the process with USCIS, conservative welcome them. Those that come here illegally, breaks the law and need to go right to the back of that fricking line that the GOOD immigrants are standing in right now.

Gunn is right that Superman is the Story of America, Superman didn't force his culture onto America. He adopted American culture as his own and by extension, the World. Superman is the GOLDEN STANDARD of what an Immigrant should be and more importantly how they behave.

HE is a guest on our world, we owe him nothing, yet he's behaving himself.

Now you have me confused. Superman didn't go through legal process to get here. He came across the border illegally, and then was adopted after he arrived. Your "GOLDEN STANDARD" is people entering the country illegally as long as afterwards someone lies to get them the appropriate paperwork and then they assimilate?

Or do you, as I do, think the golden standard should be to go through the correct avenues and obtain permission before you enter the country in the first place?

James Gunn doesn't post here

and the snow white entitled girl doesn't post here either but that doesn't change the reality of what continues to happen and they don't learn from their mistakes.


It's a simple formula to follow but they refuse and makes everyone hate the movie and tv industry now when all of this could have been avoided.

Oh, I know... but it's still humorous.

"Well... here's our make believe comic book character. Now... HERE'S HOW WE SHOULD APPLY OUR REAL IMMIGRATION LAWS AND FEELS to our made up comic book character, and why you suck if you don't."

Now... some have ability to say "Yeah, whatever, wanker... just make a good movie." Others are "REEEEEEEEEEEEE.... how dare you. Your movie must fail." Of course, balanced by the "If you don't support our movie, you are quite obviously a bigoted scum of the earth cretin."

It's humorous from both sides.
