Three days into Pride month and we still haven’t gotten casting confirmation? I don’t know, feels pretty homophobic to me.
Think of the optics, James.
truth justice and pride
They're freaking out cause a Protect Trans Kids graffiti appears in a Spider-Man movie.God, imagine how much the MAGAt crowd would lose their minds if Superman said this in his new movie. Dean Cain would probably lead a protest outside Warner Brothers.
Please for the love of God, let it happen.
Now I hope that Jimmy Olsen is trans.Sorry. But I don't want any of it in a superman film. Not from the right or from the left.
I just want to be entertained. We have enough of the arguing in the real world.
Superman has to stand for something. He’s the “Champion of the Oppressed” after all. Defending the working class and marginalized, standing up against bigotry and hateful propaganda, it’s been inherent to the character’s DNA from the beginning. They’d better not toss it out now.Sorry. But I don't want any of it in a superman film. Not from the right or from the left.

This is why I love Clark Kent. Not his superpowers (who doesn't want to fly), not his suit (none is better), not his looks (he is an all time smoke show). It's his heart, that continues to grow for the better.
This would be wonderful.Now I hope that Jimmy Olsen is trans.

I don't know what your politics are, nor do I particularly care. But when you compare "bible thumping, flag waving, etc." to folk fighting for basic human rights, you're going to rub a lot of marginalized people and their supporters the wrong way.Oh I'm not offended, don't misunderstand me, my daughter and stepdaughter both are gay.
I don’t want any rah rah from the right brought into it either, ie, Bible thumping, flag waving, etc etc.

I don't want to sit down to watch escapism and have real world problems brought into the theater with me..
I get enough of that on a daily basis working EMS.
I hope that makes sense. I mean no offense to anyone. Far from it.

Still waiting for Carol to reveal her and Monica's mom were more than just friends.I don't know what your politics are, nor do I particularly care.

The Batman, Logan, Black Panther, Iron Man, and TDKT are considered some of the better superhero flicks ever made. They dealt with political and police corruption, immigrantion, stochastic terroism, white supremacy, the military industrial complex, among other things. These are real, political problems we are dealing with in the here and now. Escapism at the theater is tied up in real world present day issues, all the time. John Wick is a critque of captialsm, Dune is a manifesto against white colonalism, and Star Wars is a tale of opposing fascism.
In the current landscape, it's hard to not notice that when LGBTQIA+ people's existence even comes up, things are suddenly considered "political". Same with women (hi Captain Marvel!). So in a world where a lot of terrible people are going to get mad that a character happens to simple be gay or trans, **** that noise.
@Sithborg , Lily calls to you!Still waiting for Carol to reveal her and Monica's mom were more than just friends.

Having LGBTQIA+ characters is virtue signalling? Using this logic Jon Kent, Alan Scott, Kate Kane, Poison Ivy, and Harley Quinn shouldn't exist, let alone be adapted. I'm not sure a lot of other LGBTQIA+ folk would agree with that...As an LGBT person myself, I also want none of this in Superman. I hate virtue signalling, and at times it can be just as offensive as out-right prejudice.

Aiming to make a "safe" movie is the surest recipe for disaster in the business.I think Gunn is going to make a safe Superman movie. A film that will try to hit on all 4 quadrants. He kinda needs to hit a homerun his first time to bat. Superman has that baggage now for better or worse.
Now I hope that Jimmy Olsen is trans.
