I’m tired of seeing discourse around the new Superman Trailer about fighting between Snyder fans and James Gunn fans, from both sides.
Going off this trailer I personally expect Gunn’s movie to be my favorite Superman movie so far, the closest any Live Action film has come to what I personally would make.
But I'm not a hater of Snyder’s Superman, go through the history of this Blog and you’ll see what a long time Snyder apologist I’ve been. Yes there was a time after Batman V Superman first game out when I was sometimes down on that film but the more I rewatched it the more I came to appreciate it.
The Snyder haters keep accusing those being negative about this trailer of being “stuck in the past” but so are you that can’t praise something you like without dwelling on some decade old films you still have a grudge against. Calling “Cultists” anyone who liked Snyder’s take and wanted more of it is absurd.
There is one Live Action Superman movie I have no fondness for (and a couple Animated ones) and would even at one time have said I Hated, and there was a time when I was young and immature and in my 20s when I wouldn't shut about it. But then I grew up, now I prefer to just pretend that movie doesn't exist. I don’t feel the need to complain about the takes on Superman I don't like everytime I express excitement for the many I do.
But to Snyder fans, everytime you hate on every little detail of this movie that isn’t out yet you are being the same as the 2013 people who hated everything about Man of Steel simply for not being exactly like Richard Donner’s Superman or STAS or whatever Comics they were Nostalgic for.
Snyder got a full Trilogy which is more than many MCU directors got, he’s happily moved on to his Rebel Moon project which I have very much enjoyed.
And if you honestly are genuinely upset at this new movie not having the Darker Depressing tone of Snyder’s movies, congratulations you are everything I was trying to convince people Snyder fans were not.
