What an ignorant bitch.
nazis crying that their ubermensch is also a mensch
Ah yes, Superman. The all American hero... Created by a Canadian.
I don't think everyone has to have read the original source material to enjoy something made from that material.
But if you're going to complain about it being faithful to the source material? Naw, that's in no way legit.
Plus... Like, definitionally, Superman was not born on US soil or to American parents. He doesn't have birthright citizenship
He's a literal alien with a fake identity, at the very least he's an immigrant, in every canon

He couldn't be possibly have been created by Immigrants /s
Looks up Joe Shuster birth place... Toronto, Ontario, Canada with his mother being from Ukraine
Looks up Jerry Siegel parents were from Lithuania
Hell looking up their parents if superman couldn't be an Immigrant he would be a Soviet.
Also Dean Cain has always been a has been loser for a long time now.
We're still getting Dean Cain's opinion on things? Whoever wrote this article could have avoided all the torture by ignoring that Christofascist xenophobe like the rest of us.
I've never cared about anything superman related because it is just the most boring premise of a character to me. what's the best way not get lumped in with idiots like this?
If the premise of a superman story is "strong guy fight strong guy," then yeah, not very interesting. What I'd prefer to see is a story that explores what having superheroes around does to humanity. What happens when a kid copies Superman and jumps off a building, and doesn't get caught? What happens when police expect a superhero to do their job for them? At what point does Superman decide to step away because he thinks he's causing more harm than good?
What I'd prefer to see is a story that explores what having superheroes around does to humanity.
The Boys, basically.
Maybe my memory is tainted because I tried to read the comic version of The Boys somewhat recently, but Watchmen is a much more mature exploration of the same topics.

Red Son is the only correct version of Superman.
Everything else is bourgeois revisionism.
A good movie is going to do well. This is just called marketing! Like the fight between elon and trump it’s all an illusion to grab your attention.
Kal-El is an anchor baby!!! lol
Umm, wasn't he actually an immigrant? LOL
What a garbage take, this isn't Nazi Germany(yet) and we don't need everything to be government propaganda.
Then Mr. Ex-Superman blatantly ignores the canon origins of the character he played.
I've not seen any Superman movie - did the version Dean Cain was in contain the origin story?
Well, the migratory status isn't really been the issue with migrants, legal or not. Ethnicity in other hand...
Dean Cain is a "has been". He hasn't been on anything important in decades.
