They aren’t just name dropping Superman to rhyme with “Yo B****”

I can’t believe this is this hard for you to concede to. Nigga it’s squints Superman lmao

When spider man 1 dropped I wasnt like "well the cartoon good but we havent had a great spider man movie"

they made GREAT CONTENT

MAKE GREAT CONTENT NOT GREAT EXCUSES

Nothing and Soulja Boy still thought of him first for that song

Why? Lmao

spider man 3 was popular because we saw 1 and 2

If you get that. Im confused on your issue with the inspiration theme ? Yea he inspire them but at their core they still got different ethics than superman

BRO STOP THESE F***ING EXCUSES MAN

SMALLVILLE

I genuinely don't think you're grasping what I'm saying

Everything you're mentioning is icongraphy, which I've already agreed that Superman is extremely iconic

He is nowhere near as popular as Batman or Spider-Man in the 21st Century

I guess Soulja Boy determines what's popular then

Matrix trilogy I recongnize the sequels were rushed and issues but end of the day they still tried to do something. They made a movie. Them s***s closer to a good superman movie than anything and how you should excecute it.

smallville was popular and ran countless seasons

heroes had a superman
matrix superman
goku superman
invincible
the boys

Wayne Em Big Boi too

Again I’m waiting on the long list of rap songs about Spiderman and Batman

In some ways Spiderman and Batman only exist because of Superman twin lol

Niggas said Smallville I'm crying man

So Spider-Man and Batman both have billion dollar film franchises and Superman has Smallville and shows that he wasn't even in

you have to acknowledget that superman 2025 simply wasnt even regardless of box office the smash hit superman story it needed to be for people to be like "NAH THIS CRAZY YOU CANT FIRE GUNN"

outside of fanboys

fanboys are upset at this even though he still making a movie for them

but this isnt it for many man. The general audience wont be like "oh no we lost gunn "

Is popularity measured solely by namedrops in rap songs to you?

people are superman fans they just want a good superman movie. It doesnt have to come from james gunn it doesnt have to come from zack snyder

when zack snyder man of steel failed at least the snyder fans recongnized he took a risk not "superman returns is why " "there is a great conspiracy against us"

Superman before man of steel hadnt even had a reasonable movie in half a century what are we talking about

I said that pages ago and you called it an excuse

man of steel was liked by some and rated poorly but the reviews over hated

before that when was the last even reasonable superman movie?

The reason Superman can’t ever be as popular as Batman is cuz his fanbase is eternally split into 2 bases, the ones that want wholesome Boy Scout dork Superman and the ones who want brooding edgy walking weapon of destruction Superman and you can’t have your cake and eat it too

I am saying if you are using that excuse for the superman 2025 its even more applicable for man of steel which you act like is terrible

the movies that came before man of steel for dc are astronomically worse than the snyder verse which some of you act like absolute dogshit when gunn has had FULL CREATIVE FREEDOM

It’s a huge symptom of popularity to have people who generally don’t give a f*** about your medium constantly refer to you

With people under 25 what you’re saying is probably true because of the lack of solid Superman media since 2000 vs the 1970’s films and Bruce Timm but overall if you asked people to name superheroes they are naming Superman as much as if not more than Spiderman and Batman in spite of that lol

To take it back to the main topic DC absolutely should expect a Superman movie to be as big as MCU Spiderman or The Batman 2021 moving forward, this whole convo kinda started from them tryna fix what you saying

Why did Kevin Costner refuse to let Clark save him btw

wtf is this lol
