I mean, he may be right that it'll hurt the box office to polarize the public, but Superman is as much an illegal alien as you can get.

Come to think of it, what is the story regarding his birth certificate, citizenship etc? Did Ma and Pa Kent claim a home birth and get him documented?

This is peak absurdity. You have a being from another planet, the being is sent from another planet because his planet was about to explode. In a last ditch attempt he was sent to earth by his parents. It surely sounds like a person who could be identified as an immigrant, illegal alien or asylum seeker.

Did Covid make dumb people even dumber? Ignorance certainly is bliss..

Dean Cain is a fat jackass with MAGA brain rot.hes also the worst of the superman actors

[–] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 50 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Cain voted for Bill Clinton twice, and voted for Al Gore in the 2000 United States presidential election, the latter of which he later said he regretted.[21] He supported John McCain in the 2008 election, and supported Rick Perry in the 2012 election.[30] In 2016 and 2020, he endorsed and voted for Donald Trump.[31][32] He also endorsed him for the 2024 election.[33]

In 2018, Cain was elected to the board of directors of the National Rifle Association of America.[34][35]

It's like you can track his slow backslide into the racist Republican pipeline.

Well, Superman wasn't born in the U.S.A to parents in the U.S.A..

He travelled as an unaccompanied minor to the USA. I hate to say it but it seems pretty obvious to me he's not from 'round here with the whole flying and laser eyes thing too.

DUDE! In the 1940s they called Superman an immigrant... HE IS A FUCKING ALIEN!

Also he was an ILLEGAL alien! His escape pod landed outside some childless couple's farm house in the mid-west, and bless their hearts the first thing they did was adopt him.

Acrtion Comics #1 ...Lets see:

  • Superman persuades the Governor to stay the execution of an innocent death-row inmate (p. 3-4)
  • Beats up an abusive husband (p. 6-7)
  • Dumps some rich sex-pests out of their car (p. 9-10)
  • Intervenes in a corrupt lobbyist bribing a DC Senator (p. 11-end)

"When did Superman become so WOOOooooOOOke????"

Dean Cain can lick a sweaty nutsack. An embarrassment in the history of Superman casting.

Him and Kevin Sorbo can lick boots together while they swap stories about how they used to play strong guys on TV but now spend their time being weak-willed sheep IRL.

He’s literally an illegal alien. Like, according to every definition of the words.

Dean Cain was in one of the 'God's not Dead" movies. That tells you all you need to know about him.

Dean Cain and Kevin Sorbo - two people who would get their asses kicked by the characters they played.

It's almost like these people have no clue about the source material at all. Reminds me of religious folks 😂

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 32 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Dean Cain was absolute shit as 'Murica's favorite mascot — regardless of the unavoidable fact that the character came from another world in every single iteration across all mediums ...so far. 😶

Fuck you and your fetid career, you dumbass, Dean. 🖕🏼🤣

Well, you can fuck off Dean Cain.

Superman is an assimilated Jewish diaspora immigrant.

"Name?"

"Kal-El"

"Clark Kent, got it."

The argument that "I like immigrants, but don't let them change our culture" has been around for a long time. They'd say that about Italians, and now I can find a pizza place all over town. Seems like they can change it for the better to me.

Remember when they had to define woke for some court case? The definition was something like acknowledging that there are inequalities in society. Superman's whole schtick is that he's morally good and has a ton of power but doesn't resort to authoritarianism. That seems pretty "woke" to me, too.

Everyone this movie matters to already understands Superman enough not to be bothered by the comments of some has-been actor who clearly never understood the character he portrayed.

Check out Model Minority by Cory Doctorow.
It's about an unnamed superhero (who wears a red cape, and a spandex suit with a big S on it, and is engaged to a journalist named Lois, and his best friend/rival is named Bruce (who has a bat-themed alter ego)... anyway) who realizes that the cops are just beating people up and hiding it, so he makes a stand, but isn't quite sure about how to do so.
