That's so goddamn funny. This is the kind of funny that ruins your day because nothing will approach this level of elation. I will try to joke, and I will just think back to this and I will cease, knowing nothing I say will be as funny as this.
James Gunn showed that he knows Superman by showing how much Superman fucking loves spin attacks. If the next movie has him eating random rocks and weapons it'll be the truest adaptation of the character we've seen yet.
I don't think Gunn was actually trying to attack the Snyder movies. First of all, they are friends and have worked on films together. Second, I don't think it's all Snyder's fault. Some of it is, certainly, but I think a big problem for Man of Steel and the Snyderverse was the success of the Dark Knight trilogy. I'm pretty sure execs at WB pushed on Snyder to make it dark and gritty to match those movies. If anything it's a response to them.
I think what Superman 2025 does is reject the idea of 'everything is morally gray so it's okay to not do anything to make the world a better place' that is endemic not just to the Snyderverse, but also Marvel, and movies in general.
Second, that last tweet is a fucking bongcloud of an argument. He could see the opponents side of the board and he still played himself. Google en pissant you has-been.
