Just remember; when someone says “don’t make it political,” that’s a statement with a political agenda.
Call them out on that bullshit.

I kinda wish they had gone for an actor of middle eastern descent, or perhaps even immigrant status, to portray Supes. For no reason other than to piss off the bigots.
Boomer has boomer opinion, next at 11.
That's literally his backstory. He's a refugee from another planet that's like the whole point.
Imagine being this goddamn stupid.
Umm, wasn't he actually an immigrant? LOL
What a garbage take, this isn't Nazi Germany(yet) and we don't need everything to be government propaganda.
Then Mr. Ex-Superman blatantly ignores the canon origins of the character he played.
I've not seen any Superman movie - did the version Dean Cain was in contain the origin story?
Superman is an All-American immigrant
He & Sorbo need to have themselves a bro down, together. My money is on Cain being first nut out.
They did, they're called God's Not Dead 1-58
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..
Maybe actually. They figured out what caused the loss of smell: brain damage
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.
These people want to be evil but hate being told that they're evil, so anything with an anti-evil message must be "woke".
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.
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.
Ignoranus n. Someone who is both ignorant and an asshole.
I'm super disappointed. I had sympathy for the guy, the superman of my childhood. Anyway
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.
He was brought to (or rather, fired at) Earth as a baby. Arguably he should be first in line to be a DACA recipient.
He also spends his spare time literally fighting a billionaire, so there's that...
Welp. All I have to say about that is: fuck Dean Cain.
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.
He’s literally an illegal alien. Like, according to every definition of the words.
So this is how he tries to start relevant now? He should get a hobby.
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.
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".
Acrtion Comics #1 ...Lets see:
"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.
Ex-Superman Dean Cain can fuck off
Dean Cain and Kevin Sorbo - two people who would get their asses kicked by the characters they played.
Every once in a while I'm reminded of what an absolute dipshit one of my fondly remembered actors from childhood is
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.
The US of course having nothing to do with Somalias messed up 20th and 21th century history...
What else would superman be? Are you gonna change the lore so Krypton is a small town in Kansas?
