Yes, Superman has always been an immigrant story. However, just saying stupid shit about it and making it more political is dumb shit. Sean Gunn isn't doing any favors here either.

Ah, yes. Superman is indeed quite the immigrant story. Why, just this past weekend, I was talking to Consuela - my Ecuadorian maid - about how she first came to America:

"Ohh, Meestar Aylix - I come to America when Ecuador explodo! My Papi, he put me in the spaceship and he fly me to America! Nice family from Kansas, they adopt Consuela when they find me in the corn fields! Now Consuela is the fastest housecleaner on the East Coast - except for that puta Lupita Luthor! She use radioactive fragments of Ecuador to sap Consuela's power to clean real good! Aye Caramba!"

I guess these Hollywood types really DO know what it means to be a real American.

Border Customs Agents smashing all the alien tech looking for space drugs. Better explain those crystals, son, and Phantom Zone sounds like a hallucinogen.

To be fair, ET deserved it. That was his "Magic" finger he was waving in the kids faces.

A story about a man in tights flying around punching monsters and bald people is the perfect vehicle for your artistic commentary on the immigration issue.

I wasn’t going to watch this before but now I am going to not watch it even harder.

And despite that, Peacemaker was pretty hilarious and had a very funny, racist Dad.

You guys are the reverse AOC, "EVERYTHING IS RACIST AND YOU HAVE TO POINT IT ALL OUT!"

Peacemaker was dumb and the overdone caricature of evil racist whitey was absolutely retarded. I haven't seen a funny racist since Clayton Bigsby.

Supergirl Writer Confirms Milly Alcock Won’t Be Like Superman: “She watched Krypton completely be destroyed”​

Supergirl screenwriter couldn't imagine Milly Alcock's Supergirl being similar to Clark Kent because of her trauma.

While James Gunn‘s Superman took the DC icon back to its roots, Milly Alcock‘s Supergirl will not be as cheerful as her cousin. Ana Nogueira, who served as the screenwriter for the upcoming movie, told Variety that she couldn’t imagine Kara as sunny as Clark, given that she witnessed the destruction of Krypton first-hand.

Even though not a regular comic reader, the writer, who admitted to being a big superhero fan, was given a collection of Tom King‘s run on Kara. That’s when she discovered King’s “rougher and grittier and edgier and funnier” version of Kara in Woman of Tomorrow, which served as the main inspiration for her Supergirl screenplay.

Despite being cousins, Kara underwent some severe trauma following Krypton’s death, whereas Clark was raised by loving parents on Earth.


During the initial announcement of the DCU’s slate for Chapter 1, Gods and Monsters, Gunn highlighted this aspect of her character from Woman of Tomorrow, stressing that she’ll be much more jaded when compared to Clark.

"Superman is a guy sent to Earth and raised by loving parents, where Supergirl in this story, she is a character raised on a chunk of Krypton. She watched everybody around her perish in some terrible way, so she’s a much more jaded character."

This further explains her state in the Superman cameo, as resorting to booze to numb the pain from the traumatic memories seems pretty on brand for this version of Kara, who’s deeply damaged, unlike Clark Kent.

I love Supergirl in the more recent animated shows. This seems like the exact opposite of everything I liked about her. And the actress looks like she has downs. Or fetal alcohol syndrome, maybe. Why not both?
