Superman is Finally GOOD Again? New Trailer Breakdown & Big Theories

[@mathiaswalker350]

Jimmy Olsen being that giant Kaiju would actually bode well for him: Because it would be increasingly difficult to shoot him in the head in his first appearance that way.

“A nice movie about a nice guy doing nice things.” Sounds like a dream.

[@arthur.m2528]

I'm loving the color grading here, it pops, it's shiny, it contrasts, truly tremendous

[@MichaelSangregorio]

What intrigues me the most about the apparent plot is that Gunn was inspired by “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.” If that’s the case, we’re going to be seeing an idealistic individual fighting against a corrupt system of the public perception of superheroes, setting an example for those that exist and for those that are to come into the new DCU. I really love that approach.

[@aubreypressley1450]

It would serve as the perfect pushback against edginess. Just a really nice, caring hero putting all these people down for losing sight of themselves and what's good. "Dreams save us. Dreams lift us up and transform us. And on my soul, I swear... until my dream of a world where dignity, honor and justice becomes the reality we all share -- I'll never stop fighting." - Superman

"That's Krypto or whateva" - James' kid, presumably

[@jslberto]

Also regarding Jonathan Kent, I was thinking he looked kind of sickly sitting on that front porch, so I'm wondering if maybe he's got some terminal disease that Superman can't stop, making it a kind of similar thing to Donner's Jonathan Kent.

[@LittleGalaxyBoy]

10:31 Martha Kent should still be alive in this film, especially since Clark has a sticky note on his board at the Daily Planet that says "Call Ma." That pretty much confirms she’s still around. I’m guessing we’ll get to see both Kents as part of Clark’s life as an adult, Like the Post Crisis, Superman: Animated Series, and recently in My Adventures with Superman.

[@TheWarmestFuzzy]

I'm betting Krypto takes him to Kansas. That's his real home.

Greg Miller (KindaFunny) had a theory that Luthor sabotaged The Fortress of Solitude and set creatures loose, which is why we see creatures and angry civilians. But hopefully he’s wrong and it’s Jimmy Olsen 😂

[@thescottishaccent]

The Sunshine score is absolutely incredible - didn't realise it was Murphy doing this one too.

[@gruwidge]

In toy leaks, the kaiju was named "baby kaiju" which makes me think that clark realises that its just a child and refuses to kill it, which results in what Maso basically describes.

[@brian5771]

That won't matter. People will watch Superman over Jurassic and F4.

[@Mirakulus9]

That last jurassic reboot was awful. Can't say I expected or wanted another one so soon.

[@TheRealRodent]

The robot we see is Kelex, a robotic servant of Jor El who comes to Earth with Kal El. From the comics, Kelex is pretty much destroyed and gets rebuilt by Superman to help fight Brainiac.

[@official.ajclaveria]

2:20 I can already see it happening Guy Gardener talking to Superman like “They trunks, cheer up!” 😂

[@claytonandres1194]

Now I’m gonna be genuinely sad when it turns out to kaiju isn’t Jimmy. It would make such a great cold open to set the tone for a less self-serious Superman movie that’s still full of heart

[@dynaguy3]

I would be extremely disappointed if Lois already knows Clark’s secret at the start of the movie. Ideally, she doesn’t know until at least the sequel. But at the minimum, she finds out during the first movie not before. There’s so much story to be explored if Lois doesn’t know.

[@liloiax22]

Krpto is all CGI in the _'Superman'_ trailer? No way bro, that can't be... bc if it really is, then that might be _THEE BEST CGI_ that I've ever seen before!!!

I am really excited for this film and I don’t really know why. Because I certainly have not been for any of them since Superman 78. It’s the same feelings i had when I was a little 6 year old kid back then. It’s a nice feeling. Especially since I’ve been so jaded for so long with these kinds of projects.

[@djsejwal2]

Kaiju was either a in a miniature cell and suddenly dropped in middle of city or someone eats something. Because the girl superman saves has no idea there's a big monster in city

[@daschwah]

That the various trailers alone have six villains/monsters and five other superheroes/ancillary characters isn’t really putting my concerns to rest that Gunn can’t write a story about a single, central protagonist and their journey. I love the look and vibe, but this needs to be Iron Man in terms of scope and reach, not DCEU 2.0.

[@tybo8377]

Moson does love the rookie. I can see how he'd get the rookie and guy gardner from superman confused

Does no one know what frozen orange juice looks like anymore? That guy hit Superman in the back of the head with a can of frozen orange juice, and that would hurt a lot if you weren't Superman.

I’m cautiously optimistic. Superman a should be the perfect superhero, not a conflicted MARVEL hero. Superman should be LOVED by everybody, not hated. He should NOT be bloodied unless he’s fighting a Kryptonian OR magic-being OR doomsday (kryptonian etc).

[@Andrew-Bastin]

Superman has never been a “perfect” hero, he has constantly struggles with how much he should interfere with mankind and whether or not he’s doing to right thing. And he’s always had his detractors and has run into issues with his public image from time to time. And there are plenty of beings in the DC universe that can challenge him physically, outside of magic or other kryptonians.

@ just remember, Superman is NOT a MARVEL character.

[@ecmelton8633]

I hope the teaser trailer is a good representation of the movie. I was one of the people who stopped caring about Marvel pretty early on but still loved Guardians, however this movie needs to have a different tone and different character writing than those movies. I hope he can pull it off and resist the urge to fall back on cringey vulgar jokes. The inclusion of Guy Gardner, a famously annoying character is already a little bit of a red flag. I do like Fillion though, so who knows at this point. Everything is still up in the air.

[@williamsimkulet7832]

I like James Gunn & his work, but this really doesn't seem like a Superman story... let alone the first Superman story you'd tell after a reboot. Take Krypto; how special is Superman if this dog just has super powers? STAS made it so Kal & Brainiac were dual survivors of Krypton, but Gunn's like "Kal gets a puppy" because someone's more interested in picking something obscure (well... he literally has an animated movie, so not that obscure...) rather than keeping the symbolism on point.

[@cteal2018]

I don't get the hype. Yea Superman looks good, and Guy Gardner is a spot on recreation of the comicbook, but Krypto? Krypto is when I tuned out for a bit. Combined with the fact that the last 3 thing I've seen of Gunn was mid meh at best (fell asleep to GotG3, couldn't watch all of suicide squad, and Peacmaker was uneven) I don't see this as a slam dunk for being good, but I will hope.

It kinda looks like it's coming from the side instead of out of its mouth. Unfinished effect ? I hope so because right at the start for 2 second when Superman crashes in the snow he looks like a stiff shiny little plastic toy. Which I think it might actually be. I've ran it many many times and I'm 97.7% sure that's what it is. One more thing. Everyone keeps saying ooh he's hurt so it's good where finally getting to see some vulnerability in him. Literally every single iterations of Superman movie since Superman 2 has had a scene where he fights despite being bloody and powerless. Trump won. Life sucks we're all doomed.
