it is white savorism.
https://thenerdsofcolor.org/2021/09/03/is-dune-truly-a-white-savior-story/
denis has its view of it we agree to disagree
the entire story of dune is subverting middle eastern culture and replacing it with white people same as star wars did
if that hurts your feelings that fine its just reality
"you are ignorant it isnt white savorism"
it is literally taking middle eastern culture replacing everythign with white people
him eventually turning evil or the attack on title style or anakin level flip isnt relevant nor is it the first time we see it
this is the issue you think you are right and you are speaking over a black person opinion over A WHITE LEAD STORY WRITTEN BY A WHITE MAN WITH A WHITE LEAD CAST STEALING FROM MIDDLE EASTERN STORIES
AND TELLING ME HOW TO FEEL ABOUT IT.
There are plenty who will like asmongold say Palestinian genocide good but love dune
s*** there are those who loved oppenheimer but be like "nagasaki and hiroshima were necessary "
and worship THE WHITE MAN AT THE CENTER EVEN IF CONFLICTED
BREAKING BAD MY FAVORITE SHOW THE SAME WAY
SO SHUT THE F*** UP FOR A MOMENT AND RECOGNIZE MY OPINION IS MY OWN
if you dont have the self awareness ot see you as a white man shouldnt tell me how to feel about a story then you are a f***ing idiot
Granted he does smile when he's saving the girl in that very scene but I agree. The highlight isn't the actual saving part it's the larger than life part you mentioned. Shame is we don't even see him doing the rescue.
superheroes should rescue people in superhero movies tbh. We never really get that. At most its 10 seconds
i kno superman is a childrens character and james gunn is making a childrens movie which is fine thats great.... but none of my little cousins give a f*** about superman ive only seen a bunch of man children excited for krypto the superdog and superman smiling saving kittens in his red undies
I know a few kids and my cousin who is 17 loves man of steel to my surprise but you're right.
It's spiderman, black panthers and skibbidi toilet. And sonic.
I've seen people on Twitter UPSET when you mention any negative feeling towards the casting of krypto
On twitter and reddit, Snyderverse so hated(rightfully) that you can't give it any praise without prefacing it with something bad first.
On the flipside you can't say anything bad about Gunn or this movie
@SUPERMAN they're talking about u in this thread
Ok I'm slowly catching up. Speed reading 😤
Damn. So this thread no longer a safe place for anticipation
Personally I think you can do both. Cause niggas be upset when you point out a dislike, claim you haven't seen the movie yet while simultaneously doing a lot of "classic incoming" ya know?
I'm not speaking on this thread specifically I mean in general even outside of ktt
Lol Dune and A24 threads is what inspired my statement
Don’t James Gunn movies have a good track record?
I don't like any of his movies that I've seen. I liked scooby doo as a child.
People seem to really like his stuff granted them people typically like aspects of his movies that I dont
i dont think this movie gonna suck but i do think yall going to overrate it on here
Like the way public D*** EATS & COCK MUNCHES My Adventures With Superman simply because it's "fun" or whatever the f***. Glossing over weak spots because of meme worthy moments
peak to the point of HAVE TIMMS WHO IS VERY ALIVE OVER SEE THE UNIVERSE RATHER THAN A F***ING MARVEL DIRECTOR WHO GOT FIRED AND REHIRED THEN LEFT DISNEY AGAIN FOR DC
we dont want the same recycled vibes
This what I wanted
i think you're focusing on the wrong things here.
this is clark at work. I'm talking about clark on the farm, hanging out with wonder woman and saying call me clark type s***.
Like yes he should make the physical slouch/transformation work.
But what I'm talking about is clark/superman in casual settings. that's where i feel the comics really shine. We get to see him a more holistic picture of superman without having to deal with rigid binary weirdness like is his suit too big
I been feeling this too. Cause people say Clark vs Superman when to me it's really:
Clark(actual him) vs clark(metropolis ass nigga)
Like the way public D*** EATS & COCK MUNCHES My Adventures With Superman simply because it's "fun" or whatever the f***. Glossing over weak spots because of meme worthy moments
couple episodes i saw were cool but yeah people like it cause its on some cute s***
Bro the state of teaching cracked out. This gotta be my last year. Love the kids but I'm there from 7:30 to 3 but I only teach art for an 1½ hour a day. They have me doing so much other s*** that I do not give a f*** about
feel like all the joker stans are gonna switch to this movie when it drops
This is crazy hard the better use of space this is infinitely better than the image they droped
That's what I said. I liked this
Matt Vaughn
Brad Bird
Rian Johnson
some directors like them I just love
My wish was Brad Bird. I thought maybe it was too much to ask for... then we got Gunn of ALL directors in the world. Maybe I'm wrong and SS vol2 vol3 are good but I just don't like gotg 1 that much that I wasn't interested in seeing anything else he made. I could write an essay but we beyond the event horizon now unfortunately
Did they nuke condomeyes again
It just feels dishonest on so many levels. He left Twitter cause he hates Elon but pops back on to do calculated tweets of "really random coincedences"
Like "wb just let me rewrite the script cause I got a dog and it changed the way we view dogs". Like what are we even doing right now. I wasnt the biggest fan of snyder but coming off how they talked to Snyder and Lana Wachowski this idea that James Gunn who got fired from disney hired by DC then went back disney then now back to DC gets free reign when Lana and Snyder got 0 "I had a edgy phase joking about pedophilia" is just kind of insulting. Yes James Gunn is a more commercially succesful director as of recent but him being entire free creative freedom of an entire universe DOWN TO THE GAMES but others had to beg for basic s*** as WB oversight forced things is ridiculous
Its like if suddenly a new director came into sony and got full live action freedom on Spider Man
No honestly. And I expect oddness from behind the scenes but the d*** eating from fans when you say it looks bloated like BvS did they chalk it up to Gunn knows what he's doing.
Which could be the case. He might. But d*** eating is wild cause snyder ain't the only snyder. MAWS makes people feel good cause it's cute and not serious but the villains are trash. Mfs want moments
Superhero fatigue is partially because they keep doing the same exact beats with the same exact fans eating it up rather than seeking something different. Which is partially the power fantasy. Without any sort of focus on secret identity or normal life which some of you find "boring" when really that is what separates us from just watching a childs dream or playing with action figures and also saves money on effects to humanize the character.
Secret Identies are a HUGE PART OF DC
fine marvel you want to say they dont need them
they matter in DC so you cant just be like "oh yeah just keep showing him as superman"
Obviously trailer coming but I dont expect it at all before election everyone art wise wants to see the vibes after the election so now is just line everything up to be ready to go
Going to the secret identity I was kinda put off on how Starfire in Titans (I love the actress) but she can just blend in. Beast boy too. You missing key dynamics that make it fun and interesting
I am not necessarily worried about Krypto I just want to see some human beings other than superman a villain or krypto in images and metropolis more than space or a random building
I want to feel the world building a bit more but I get it will take til a trailer
Yeah same. I get they're using the other heroes to establish this is a super hero rich world we live in but in but I hope the plot hits
superheroes should rescue people in superhero movies tbh. We never really get that. At most its 10 seconds
How cool would have been to see Superman go in the burning building or fly in to catch the missile and even pull the boat out
But we got batman branding people and asking Superman does he get periods and JL set up and so on
couple episodes i saw were cool but yeah people like it cause its on some cute s***
Not a single person I saw praising the show is talking about some plot. I hate that lol.
People knew I like Superman would say Batman and Marvel are better/more popular. I didn't care enough to argue because my opinion as a consumer was law. And I was enjoying it.
I'm getting a Superman show and a Superman movie and now I'm marginally intrigued. When s*** I like starts getting high reviews I get worried
