He's literally an alien from another planet. He was sent here because he lost his home planet. He's always been an immigrant/refugee. Do these people have a single brain cell between all of them?

I say this a lot, but conservatives either have very poor media literacy, or are happily lying to further their agenda. Sometimes both.
I had one guy try to tell me he was probably legal.
Yeah I bet he routinely reports to the Kryptonian embassy...

The story's only been around 86 years. Relax.
No, they squished that brain cell when it caused them pain.
Yeah but he's nice. And their president told them that immigrants are rapists and killer

The word woke is badge of honour at this point.
Always was.
I love "insults" that are really complements
You're smart, haha nerd!
You're capable of empathy, haha woke!

I’ve slowly distanced myself from political communities so now I see nonsense like this and wonder what’s going on out there.
The new Superman movie basically had the message of "Don't be a shit person"; people are outraged.
lol, you could have said this at any point in the last 50 years and I would have believed you completely
Well you see, the movie's message was "Don't be a shit person, including to brown people". You can probably tell what got conservatives so outraged.

James Gunn said Superman is an immigrant, which he of course is.
But I guess some people thought he was born in the USA.
Once upon a time the slogan used to be “truth, justice, and the American way”. Guess which part people wanted to keep, which parts they wanted to throw out the window.
It used to be Truth, Justice, and Peace. That is until the US went into marketing mode and recruited all superheroes into 'the American way' for WW2 propaganda.
You prompted me to look up an article, and it's an interesting history. Apparently, "the American way" didn't actually appear in a comic until 1991. It's almost exclusively a phrase for radio and television.

lol, like every Superman media ever? Superman is super, man. He's always stood up for the little guy, the underdog, the (dare I say) immigrant.
Superman is literally a Christ figure. He's basically a god, he loves humanity, and he constantly sacrifices himself to save us. Naturally, the religious right hates him.

The bad guys have a military to gun down brown unmarked families to take over a neighboring country.
Zionists: and I took that personally.
If the US ever wants to become a normal country it will have to ban fox news and all like it
No, news organizations shouldn't be allowed to lie to you, yet fox news literally sued (and won) for the ability to do just this
At this point, fox news is far enough that it should be labelled a terrorist organization and anyone working there should be arrested and jailed for life for trying to destroy US democracy

I'm a 6'3" man weighing 230lbs. I couldn't hold back tears with that little kid (who obviously represented Palestine) holding the Superman flag in the face of tanks and an army.
Like, fuck me dude. I have been looking for some level of solidarity after 2 years of hearing a death count repeated every morning from Amy Goodman.
It's just a film. It's not going to change anything about our garbage world. But if anything it made me feel a little less alone when contrasting my time spent at protests with my time spent having to listen to idiot coworkers.
It’s chilling just how accurate that is.
If you showed that image to people in the 80s and 90s, I guess essentially pre-9/11 america, when I was young and taught america was called “the melting pot,” it would feel like a joke rather than a warning.
America has never been a melting pot. Every new group of immigrants to this country have been horribly abused and hate crimed. Not just brown people either.

Superman ... who is a literal alien immigrant ... is probably immigrant? Really!?! No wonder the Superman writers dumped using "Truth, Justice, and the American way"

Looks like a headline from a fictional news segment in The Boys
That's the one that conservatives thought the villain was the good guy, right? I'm not sure if that's a thing that really happened or just a satire of conservatives famously poor media literacy.
In the show, the conservative population eats it up.
If conservatives IRL don't get that The Boys is making fun of conservatives not understanding satire that's a bonus.

As a non-American it just surprises me so much that Fox News can fool so many people, especially when "critical thinking" is touted as one of the things kids learn in school, as pictured in popular media like TV shows and movies. 🤷♂️ It's just so obviously propaganda. You can tell by just the way they behave. You barely even have to listen to what they say. 😆 (But doing so surely makes it all the more crystal clear.)

Yeah, conservatives found out long ago that the more education a person gets, the less likely they are to support conservative politicians. So they have literally sabotaged their own future by gutting education, and we're now reaping the rewards.

Is it really fooling anyone if the people watching Fox News already follow that hateful ideology before they even turn on the TV. It’s just confirmation bias and Fox News is happy to provide it. They watch it to feel righteous and not to learn anything.

I wish it actually had been super woke since it's getting so much flak for literally just being Superman.
Fantastic movie though.
At this point anything that doesn't literally praise ~~Hitler~~ Trump is considered woke, so Superman was super woke.

They all know that Trump would deport superman ya? He literally is an illegal alien.
He can try. Superman isn't a fan of Nazis.
Really shows how the US truly is a backwards country.
An alien form outer fucking space being called an immigrant is apparently bad in the minds of brainwashed crazy people and the ghouls brainwashing then.
They don't want to be woke. Ergo, they wish to remain sleepy sheep.
The thing I find funny, is the "twist" with his parents sending him to Earth to conquer it is something conservatives could jump on to help their anti immigrant stance. But whatever. It's not like they have a set of values they fall back on to make sure their ship is headed in the right direction.
