He & Sorbo need to have themselves a bro down, together. My money is on Cain being first nut out.
That's literally his backstory. He's a refugee from another planet that's like the whole point.
Imagine being this goddamn stupid.
Well, Ackchyually...
The "Superman isn't an immigrant" is a bad faith argument... but I think it's technically correct.
Being an immigrant implies intent of moving from one country to another, which Superman didn't have. Especially since he came to earth as a baby and has no ties to krypton. I wouldn't call someone who was born in another country and was adopted as a baby into another country and immigrant.
Superman does explore themes of immigration from its conception. Though it's worth noting that if viewed from this perspective, it's a very old fashion American model of immigration, that might be viewed negatively today - he adopts his American upbringing in every meaningful way, especially his values, while his own culture is abandoned (nearly?) completely.
Supergirl, on the other hand, is an immigrant.
Superman is an immigrant created by two sons of immigrants.
His parents sent him to Earth to have a better life (any life at all really). Something similar happens in reality where parents in Central and South America send their children, alone, to the US.
Also happens with babies adopted from other countries. You may not consider them immigrants, but the government sure as hell does. There's quite a bit of immigration paperwork that needs to get filed in order for one of those adoptions to go through.
Welp. All I have to say about that is: fuck Dean Cain.
So this is how he tries to start relevant now? He should get a hobby.
Ignoranus n. Someone who is both ignorant and an asshole.
This is peak absurdity. You have a being from another planet, the being is sent from another planet because his planet was about to explode. In a last ditch attempt he was sent to earth by his parents. It surely sounds like a person who could be identified as an immigrant, illegal alien or asylum seeker.
Did Covid make dumb people even dumber? Ignorance certainly is bliss..
These people want to be evil but hate being told that they're evil, so anything with an anti-evil message must be "woke".
Funny thing is I've been calling Superman an illegal immigrant for decades. All of the sudden it's not a joke anymore. It's a friggin comic book hero for crying out loud.
Did COVID make dumb people even dumber?
No, they were always that dumb. They probably just projected themselves onto Superman because he's a strong white man and clearly strong white people cannot be illegal immigrants because that breaks their pathetic little power trip fantasy.
This is specifically comments by Dean Cain, a man who once played Superman, but didn't seem to actually pay attention to any of the scripts, because he became a right wing grifter.
I dont know how legit was the research methodology, but I did read a paper somewhere that even asymptomatic covid decreased peoples QI for a measurable ammount.
They didn't go woke Dean, you aged to be a shitty person.
I'm going to guess that James Gunn isn't going to take career advice from...checks notes...Dean fucking Cain.
DUDE! In the 1940s they called Superman an immigrant... HE IS A FUCKING ALIEN!
Also he was an ILLEGAL alien! His escape pod landed outside some childless couple's farm house in the mid-west, and bless their hearts the first thing they did was adopt him.
Trump's wife is an immigrant. Trump's parents were immigrants. Many people who are immigrants don't like immigrants because immigrant is code for "someone I don't like for x reason".
Anyone who just read the headline needs to actually go read the article. It's not very long. Not that the headline is misleading, he absolutely said those things, but the whole thing is just the most deranged rant. Cain somehow got from being mad about changing the slogan to "truth, justice, and a better tomorrow" to immigrants want to make America into Somalia in two moves.
Remember when they had to define woke for some court case? The definition was something like acknowledging that there are inequalities in society. Superman's whole schtick is that he's morally good and has a ton of power but doesn't resort to authoritarianism. That seems pretty "woke" to me, too.
He’s literally an illegal alien. Like, according to every definition of the words.
Ex-Superman Dean Cain can fuck off
whoever that is made a mistake of opening his mug.
He's the Ripley's believe it or not guy, and had a superman series that didn't do well for like 3 or 4 seasons. He's super right wing and super douchey sorta like the dude that ruined Andromeda Kevin sorbo.
Like Sorbo, Cain is a fraud who only turned into an ultra-right God-botherer because it was a convenient way to hand-wave away a tanking career and find a new one being a (washed up) celebrity mouthpiece for a messianic death cult.
No, Hollywood didn't stop calling because you're a walking meme about corny 90s television. Its because they're all woke homosexual Satanists and who hate real American conservative Christians who tuck-in their t shirts and have missionary-only sex with their wife.
It's shitty because I liked Andromeda but it was Kevin sorbo that killed the storyline and made it... whatever it was that last season.
Sorry, I forgot you existed Dean Cain.
Dean Cain and Kevin Sorbo - two people who would get their asses kicked by the characters they played.
I mean, literally all people would get their asses kicked if they got into a fight with either super man or hercules
Lucy Lawless could probably take down Hercules.

Acrtion Comics #1 ...Lets see:
- Superman persuades the Governor to stay the execution of an innocent death-row inmate (p. 3-4)
- Beats up an abusive husband (p. 6-7)
- Dumps some rich sex-pests out of their car (p. 9-10)
- Intervenes in a corrupt lobbyist bribing a DC Senator (p. 11-end)
"When did Superman become so WOOOooooOOOke????"
thank you, at least we have a definitive answer now: literally in the first comic book that he appeared in.
Every once in a while I'm reminded of what an absolute dipshit one of my fondly remembered actors from childhood is
it's one thing seeing these idiots, but even more disappointing to see so-called liberals supporting genocide.
