Dear Fox News,
Why did you have to go and polticize this movie? Directer/producer/writer James Gunn talked about Superman being an immigrant in an interview. Predictably, Fox News immediately responded by claiming the movie was “woke”.
Yeah, Superman is basically an undocumented immigrant. Lex Luthor thinks the world should fear and question his intentions. The theme and message is there. But it is not in your face. This is not an overly political movie that should be devisive or keep anyone from going.
Ultimately, this movie is about being a good person, helping others, and making the world a better place. I cannot think of a better or more appropriate message to share at this point in time.
Despite the current political climate, this is a movie any of us can go to, use your imagination, disappear in this new universe and just have fun with it.
