    Snyder makes a great cinematographer. He really knows how to visualize a scene. As a director, or a storyteller, not so much. Rebel Moon solidified this reality.

      Definitely. I respect his visual talent. I felt in movies like 300 and Dawn of the Dead it fit the style he was going for. But as far as storytelling and character, I feel he's a bit "Michael Bay but with slow-mo instead of just explosions"

    I'm a big, big comic book fan (Hal Jordan is my favourite character), and I loved Snyder's Universe for what it was. It was always shaping up to be an Injustice take and I accepted it for what it was... An Elseworlds story and a really cool one at that.
    I'm even more excited for the "Gunnverse" because it's the first time we get to explore the Supers' world, where they've been active for decades, and not have them coming into ours. I'm gutted that Hal isn't going to be the main Lantern of that universe, but so much else is looking positive, that I say bring it on!!!

    Yes, you are right that most of the fans (or at least the ones who have been doing reaction videos to this trailer) always repeat the word 'Hope'. Over and over again. While as a kid I also loved Superman very much, when I grew up I became much more critical about the character and what it really represents. Yes, the naive and well-intentioned fandom thinks he represents Hope. And Gunn himself says that Superman represents the ideals of freedom and the 'American way of life'. Really? Don't you remember how turned out the wars on terror in Afghanistan (2001-2021) and Iraq (2003-2008), or the 'Responsability To Protect' in Lybia in 2011, where supposedly USA invaded those countries to bring them hope, freedom and a portion of the American way of life but ended up leaving them devastated and sometimes transformed into failed states? I hear the fandom to say 'Superman means Hope to the World', and of course they naively think that USA is a beacon of Hope for the World too. I don't see how much Hope really Superman (USA) represented for the Iraqis, Afghans and Lybians, or how much Hope represent for the Palestinean women and childrens, who are murdered in Gaza every single day for the dozens or hundreds by US-made missiles and bombs used by the State of israel. Hope? Come on, boys, wake up!! The world sucks! And much of this 'suck' is because of this naive American mindset of believing themselves 'Superman' (savors of the world). Iraq, Afghnaistan and Lybia are very gratefull of you being their saviors... (Sarcasm). Please, don't save anybody else, let the World alone, we will be much better without you. Do you want to really save the World? Stop selling weapons to Israel, that would help a lot...

    • @mythosinmedia
      @mythosinmedia  6 часов назад

      I think Gunn was just quoting the old phrase of "truth, justice, and the American way" which was tied to the character, pointing to the fact he wants a more classic Superman. I think you might be taking it a bit too literally and taking it far into spaces the movie and the character aren't meant to address. It's your take and I respect it, but not everything needs to be that seriously political.
