DC's Superman: My Thoughts

[@michaelhorning6014]

Krypto is the one thing that makes me hopeful for this movie. His inclusion means this might actually be a comic book movie that is not ashamed of comic books.

[@jackielogan9104]

what's surprising to me about this movie is that my Mom has never been more excited for a superhero movie unlike what came before.

GREAT NERDWORD JAMES GUNN SUPERMAN MOVIE.

[@samueljennings4809]

@AppMaker728 based on what? Honestly I think this movie will surprise a lot of people in a good way.

[@krpyton7368]

The Superman 2025 isn’t an origin story it’s gonna be more like a year or two like a second year as a superhero, and James gun made a clear that this franchise will focus on heroes. We already established as heroes so there won’t be any like formulatic origin story

[@PassanCat]

After seeing the kid, my cynicism left for a moment. I am really hopeful about this movie. It does not have to be a masterpiece. No cringe or edgy writing, no unfunny marvel humor and it should take it self serious. This is all we need. I want this to be the Frieren of super hero movies.

[@Theworthlessopinion]

I agree with you so much in the humor! I really don’t need Superman commenting about how stupid it is having a superset. You can play this straight without taking it too seriously. I want this movie to be earnest.

[@TheRadioAteMyTV]

A positive review here? Now that gives me hope. Christmas miracles do happen!

[@P.Whitestrake]

0:54 Have to disagree right there. As someone who followed the whole fandom thing since 2016, I say the DCEU Superman was always symbolising hope & actually brought hope for other characters in the cinematic universe. The whole theme of Superman in DCEU was hope. Just because the portayal was somber & the world was "dark" with a lot of people died, doesn't mean it wasn't hopeful. Superman actually saved US soldiers who hated him in MoS & destroyed Zod's terraforming engines even though he knew it could weaken him. Don't forget his self-sacrifice to kill Doomsday in BvS. If that didn't bring hope, I don't know what is. Batman who was shown to be world-weary & losing faith in humanity after fighting criminals for 20 years non-stop, changed back to his heroic ways after seeing Superman sacrificing himself to kill Doomsday. The Flash in that universe was inspired by Superman. Wonder Woman got out of hiding after losing Steve Trevor & tired of seeing men never stop killing each other in wars. Snyder had a plan that the whole story was gonna be the darkest before the dawn. It was meant to have a build up from grim to hopeful. He made Superman to feel pain & sorrow to learn how to be hopeful. To show him get beaten up both physically & mentally, so he has a learning process through it. To see hope behind the darkness around him & become the beacon of hope as he should be. Unfortunately, I think some people had no patience for such build-up & too quick to judge, & then WB panicked. In my opinion, it's the constant change in WB's management & their inability to handle the critics made the cinematic universe looked like it had nowhere to go after 2017's Justice League flop. They also tried to catch up with MCU, hoping for MCU money. They literally changed leadership 3 times before Gunn took over. From Chris Nolan & Zack Snyder, to Geoff Johns, to Walter Hamada.

[@MarvinPowell1]

A Snyder Bro, seen in the wild, still pushing their delusions onto everyone else.

[@woodrowgodshyne1654]

Guardians 3 is my favorite MCU film. If I have a bad day, I throw it on, and it makes me happy. It's dark. It's broken. It's also light. Gunn has amazing taste in music... This comes from a former strip club DJ.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

The palette was closer to the original 1978 movie despite the more muted colors in the cape and tights.

[@BrandonScott-mi5pz]

EXCELLENT NERDWORD WORK.

[@srksii]

Love you Nerdess!

[@ryanbentley8475]

Idk morally grey is always more interesting to me.Having to kill Zod was amazing to me.Black & white is 9/10 boring in any other property so why would superman feel any different.Not putting him in situations that require hard decisions that blurr lines can easily feel forced because that's not realistic.

[@furtalance_x]

Good video, I dont like the new superman suit. But lets see what he does. For me Cavil was THE superman. This new guy has very very big shoes to fill.

[@Mangolorian-je3eo]

Nailed it. I don’t want a woke sermon or a Bold New Take or rainbow red flag planting. I want to see the comics I know on screen, something I didn’t even see in 1978. I see it here. Along with dads and gingers being permitted to exist, black characters instead of blackwashed characters, a man and a woman actually loving each other, and a picture of the daily planet staff where I could recognise and name them all without a single line of dialogue.

[@Tony_ATP]

The shot we see of Lex seething with anger at the mere sight of Superman is comic book Lex. The character will be taken back to his mad scientist roots, and with Mr. Terrific also in the movie science will seem a lot like magic.

[@littlebilly8747]

Say what you want about the rest of the Snyder movies, I personally loved Man of Steel. I’m optimistic about the new movie, but it probably won’t top MOS in my eyes

[@abhinandannandan3863]

U put it perfectly I genuinely was smiling ear to ear watching the trailer.

[@PK-MegaLolCaT]

4:55 That is a complete misunderstanding of Snyder's superman...Snyder's superman not a God.. he Is a regular guy feeling alienated and uncomfortable because the rest of the world putting him on a god like Pedestal .

[@KingG3244]

That’s not Superman bud

[@bofawhatsbofa4593]

@@KingG3244that’s LITERALLY Superman bud. You need to read more of his comics and not rely on reeves film. Hell Smallville tackled it the same way

[@MarvinPowell1]

I seriously hate Snyder Bros... His movies were shit and he didn't understand Superman. Just stop already.

[@bofawhatsbofa4593]

@ they’re not as bad as the Gunncucks, the DC purist, and Reeve Fangirls. They were insufferable for 11 years and STILL are bitching and crying. Even in threads that have ZERO to do with Snyder they bring him up. I swear they talk more about him than his fans

[@Theworthlessopinion]

@@MarvinPowell1frfr. Superman SHOULDNT feel alienated from humanity. He’s connected to humanity because of his upbringing. Zack Snyder’s cynical deconstruction of characters work in an alternative superhero work because you’re comparing it to the primary depiction. When it comes to Superman, this shouldn’t be the alternative! It should be the primary depiction that everyone aspires to.

[@MarvinPowell1]

I personally don't think this trailer looks any good. Kind of like inverse with Henry Cavill, the tone looks right, but the actor and the suit look so wrong. He really doesn't look like Superman and that suit is the ugliest Superman costume I've ever seen (and yes, I know what it's based off of; they still shouldn't have used it.) Plus, all the cameos in this tells me it's not going to be a Superman movie, but an ad for the extended DC Gunn-verse. I'm already uninterested and I'm someone who hated everything about Snyder's DCEU.

[@RagtimeBluedream]

Thank you for another outstanding video. I really value your channel. I was wondering if you'd ever thought about getting on Open Bar or maybe one of Echo Chamberlain's live streams? :)

[@dtmistheone]

My first thoughts were: "there are too many characters and action sequences being shown during this trailer for a 2.5 - 3 hr movie"

[@Unrealizedthoughts0]

I enjoyed it. My problem isn't just the Snyderverse, but cynicism I see from writers when it comes to Superheroes. The audience as well. I think DC's Injustice games truly started the evil superhero trend. There SO MUCH to unpack like Batman's No kill rule.

[@ChannalWatcher]

My thoughts are: I am looking forward to seeing it, but I'm more interested in seeing Metamorpho in action above anything else, I'm glad that we are getting more lesser known characters who never had been on the big screen yet, judging by the trailer it looks more like another Justice League film than a Superman film but we have had a Captain America with most of the Avengers including Spiderman so that's ok, I want to more of Superman's villains because they aren't well-known to me and I know we are having Lex Luthor in this movie but I think they giving him the side character treatment for now so he's not the main villain this time again that's ok, my 2 only complaints are this new Superman is wearing those shorts which I find ridiculous and we are having Guy Gardner Green Lantern in this movie I don't know anything about this character but I don't think he's interesting enough for me to care I would rather see John Stewart or Jessica Cruz I find those 2 cool that's it

[@fercuscuelalopez9454]

I really didn’t like the trailer… he’s bleeding, not being able to get up… not healing in daylight… getting rescued by the dog?… they already made him a little B&atch… I mean that’s the first shot we get so see of him… And people hating on him… being $h!tty again, humanity is absolutely terrible… I know but… come on, Superman is supposed to be widely beloved, the “they hate him because he’s different” plot is so boring at this point… I hope I’m wrong, I have faith in Gunn but this trailer… idk man… weird stuff imo

[@franklinfernandes5593]

These are out of context little snippets from the film, we don't know what Interfered with his power, and why some people don't like him Even so, we see him being a beacon of hope for people, and we know he is mighty powerful, showing him vulnerable Once is not bad

[@fercuscuelalopez9454]

@ Yeap, not saying it’ll be bad at all… I hope it’ll be a great movie, and I even said I have faith in Gunn… 🤷🏻 I’m just saying I really really really didn’t like the trailer,

[@harbour08]

People forgot how bad the Snyderverse was because of one good film. Superman is not Jesus, he is lesser and he is a regular guy at his core symbolizing hope

[@P.Whitestrake]

The point of BvS was THAT. It's said in the movie. People saw him as a Christ-like saviour, but he was actually just a guy trying to do the right thing.

[@bofawhatsbofa4593]

@@P.Whitestrakeright. They act like the film wasn’t about hope also. It was literally the point

[@MarvinPowell1]

@harbour08 What was the "good film?" Wonder Woman or Shazam? Cause _there were_ no good films leading up to the Justice League. Snyder's DCEU is almost as bad as woke MCU post-phase 3.

[@bofawhatsbofa4593]

@ lol literally nothing you said was remotely accurate or factual. Just conjecture and subjective opinion

[@thel1355]

Deconstructionism has been slowly been eating everything and replacing it with nothing.

[@Theworthlessopinion]

Hopefully they make a real movie. hopefully it tells a well rounded, well written Superman story with a nice beginning-middle-end. Instead of spending its 2.5 hr time telling us that “booster gold, supergirl, lanterns, brave and the bold, and swamp thing are coming! You need to go see that!” It doesn’t have that modern ADHD pacing so the audience can have time to think about what’s happening and let things resonate. It doesn’t have that modern self referential humor reminding you how stupid all this is. It has better cinematography than just a sitcom in front of a green screen. Hopefully it’s more earnest and respectful of the audience. If it does that I think it’ll be an okay movie.

[@AppMaker728]

[@darktenor4967]

A trailer that starts with a bloody and battered superman plunging to his doom and shows a crowd clearly angry at him, where the director has mentioned "previous fascistic fantasies", as takes on the character, and speaks of the film countering "dark and destructive voices." Yes, we could get a positive, upbeat Superman, but there are also the marks of this being superman confronts Maga and has a good dose of humiliation along the way. In the end we'll see, and it's nice someone is viewing this trailer positively, but for myself I'll not be opening my wallet until I have a little more evidence that Hollywood really are ditching the nihilism, the misandry and "the message!"

[@Amidreamingnow]

i don't see any of that in this trailer . i really doubt im going to like the movie, my radar tells me so. Temu superman. that's it
