Can the new Superman movie be the Kryptonite to Donald Trump?

Superman has long stood as a symbol of kindness and friendship in my life, as he has for millions across the country.

YouTuber Jesterbell, whose opinions on film tend to mirror my own, has ripped “Superman” apart in a review posted today:

...and the HUMAN way...

Now, that is a really low bar. The Human Way brings all sorts or mayhem, murder, and destruction. Just take a glance at history.

Superman is fantasy. Trump is real.

Too bad Leftists like Gunn don't practice what they preach, and boy, do they like to preach. Superman is just another avatar for shoving the Left's political opinions down the viewers' throats.

Kindness and friendship? This guy gay? Superman used to be about kicking ass for America. I have no idea what he stands for now because Hollywood f’s up everything it touches.

I haven’t been to a movie theater in 25+ years. Cell phones and non stop talking morons ended it for me.

Transgender is not, and never shall be, a real thing, It is merely a few transvestites, posing and acting out a very confused form of cosplay.

IK loved watching the “Superman” TV show, but I outgrew it at around 10. Too bad mental midgets like the one who wrote this piece have not grown up.

This new movie's tagline should be:

YOU'LL BELIEVE A MAN CAN CRY!

These movies are so diluted and the superhero market so saturated now…. Reboots and wokeness….. none of these have any cultural or political value.

I saw Superman this morning. As a movie it is great. As a political statement you would really have to look hard to find it if it even exists.

The “client list” has little bearing at the moment. The victim list is what is important. It will lead to the client list

[The Louiswu]

A comic book character, nothing more.

[fr_freak]

The “client list” has little bearing at the moment.

The client list is THE most important thing of all, because the clients are most likely people in very high positions of government and business who are being blackmailed by people who do not have our best interests at heart. If those evil people control our decision makers, then very little else that we try to do will matter.

[Beowulf9]

It’s Kryptonite at the box office.

[higgmeister]

True.

We know several of Epstein’s victims. We haven’t got the names of the clients yet, so one didn’t necessarily lead to the other.

But isn’t this supposed to be about the superguy movie?

[skimbell]

[Flaming Conservative]

Really.

[Flaming Conservative]

Yeah, let’s see how long that lasts. To turn a profit, they need over $500,000,000.

We’ll see.

[higgmeister]

No. But Epstein? Possibly.

I say give it a rest.

Way too many are only interested in salacious gossip and the dirty details.
