Exactly, Superman is supposed to be the upbeat boy scout and Gunn really needs to focus on the heartfelt message. Especially now that the world is turning to ****.

 

It kinda reminds me of how people currently criticize Disney's Snow White, but when it came out it was a box office smash, mainly because people needed the escapism from the great depression

Superman isn't "supposed" to be anything. It's 2025, you can do something different with a character.

They already tried that and turned out terrible. Sometimes staying true to what people love about a particular character is simply the way to go. There's a reason the teaser trailer has been so well received. The real world is already bleak enough.

Also is there not a thread for Supergirl? Cause I can't find it. Filming for that begins in a couple of weeks and they're adapting the best comic book series of the last 20 years. Should I make one?

There are certain core tenets you have to abide by, especially for a character with such deep lore and passionate fans. Trying to turn Superman into Batman was a disaster. Same with the Garfield Spiderman films, they didn't stay true to the identity of the character.
