After watching this trailer, I can honestly say that the true essence of Superman is back. According to James Gunn, this Superman will be more optimistic, while living in a dark world, and he will try to make that world better. I really like that because that's who Superman is. He believes there's good in everybody, no matter who they are. And that seems to be what James Gunn is giving us. Christopher Reeve would be so proud.
We did not get that in Man of Steel nor Superman Returns. In Man of Steel we got a dark Superman trying to fit into a more realistic world. In Superman Returns, we got a Superman who was trying to fit in a a world that doesn't need Superman. What James Gunn is doing is completely different. This Superman will be bright and optimistic, while living in a dark world, trying to make that world a better place. That's more comic book Superman and that's what James Gunn is giving us.
I am still confused as to why all the hate from ppl for Gunn as well as some fans wanting failure. Someone pls explain. James has been doing an excellent job, look on the massive success of the GOG franchise.
I enjoyed the Snyder/DCEU take on the character but it's exciting to finally get a version of Superman that's... pure? He's not being deconstructed and broken down, he's not being made fun of, he's not being twisted into an evil despotic ruler, he's just "a guy that can save the cat" like you said. And online, I've seen more interest and love for this trailer and the character than I had even expected. I'm not the biggest fan overall, I'm still not 100% sold on loving it but I'm very positive.
ye the "modernization" of Superman, should be the modernization of all his cheesy, goofy and whimsical elements from his 50+ years of history, not getting rid of everything not realistic like cat saving, or the S curl and trunks or the bright colors. none of the first MCU movies were as divisive or controversial as Man of steel because its about having quality content that is true and inclusive to the character and their rich history
Superman has that mythic quality, which makes it ideal for telling great humanistic stories about right and wrong without it feeling to ‘on the nose’ or preachy. James Gunn clearly understands that, and wants to tell a story about a good man who embodies hope. I think that is part of why the trailer really resonated with so many people. We live in such cynical, often dark times. Superman is my favourite superhero as well, so I fervently hope he succeeds! Great video, by the way. 👍
Really enjoyed this video. As always, your passion on the topic you’re speaking about is palpable and the vibes are comfy. I’m also looking forward to this film and I didn’t feel any type of way about it until I watched the trailer and could all of a sudden see myself buying a ticket for it in the summer.
11:24 my thing with this point is that…when you read a superman comic or any comic youll see other heroes but that doesn’t take away from the fact that you’re reading that character’s comic. When you watch john Wick do all of the cameos and other super assassins take you out of the movie? Or does your brain know you’re watching John Wick
MOS was incredible, I was born in the early 80s, I was raised on Reeves and Keaton but superman never felt real just a comic book on screen, MOS grounded the character and made him feel real it was an amazing movie. WB then refused to allow MOS2 to be made as they wanted Batman included as soon as possible. BVS Ultimate Edition was also a really good movie, and then with WW and Zack Synder Justice League we could of had something very very special but for some reason the studio decided to get involved and destroy what we could of had. I personally won’t give Gunn a penny as his comments on kids turned me off him for life, but I hope others enjoy his vision and the DCU to come. 👍David will no doubt crush it as Superman best of luck to him. Really hope people enjoy it 👍
MOS and BVS were made for mature grown adults, both Movies along with JL showed what would happen if Superman went bad, Witch made those movies more interesting for me. Superman Returns also showed this in small scenes too , Always felt that the DCU should be dark and gritty where Marvel is light hearted and fun with positivity, seems Gunn as gone the marvel way with his take of this movie , when I saw the dog in the trailer I burst out laughing. This movie will be good due to it being overhyped and marketed to those who still want to be kids again even if it's bad it will be good as those who have hyped it up wont be able to back down.
@@orinorio1 Bright and optimistic isn’t the “Marvel way” it’s the comic book way with some exceptions. Gunn will include both brighter fantastical stories and darker grounded stories, because both Marvel and DC have included a variety over the decades of their existence, otherwise fans would’ve been bored with it a long time ago. Btw the Snyderverse was pretentious, boring, and sloppily written throughout with very little to set the characters apart and make them interesting. DC deserves better.
nah. mos was ass. bvs even more so. gunn made a talking tree and a raccoon into household names, snyder was given 2 iconic A-listers in batman and superman and he ruined both. he was given THREE films with superman and he couldnt make the character soar. good riddance. have you seen rebel moon? yea.. keep him the f away from dc.
there's nothing mature or adult about mos. that's the thing about snyder fanboys... they cant distinguish between a grown up stuff and what a teenager thinks as the grown up stuff. snyder's idea of 'mature' is trying to make everything edgy and dark, while underneath it there's no subtance or anything worth saying.
I found MOS a yawn fest - tried watching it multiple times and have always clocked out early. He felt mangled to me. And after finding out more about Snyder it made sense. I’ve watched enough Snyder to realise he doesn’t understand character development at all. He’s an edgelord who never got past a pubescent understanding of manliness . He has the most vapid understanding of masculinity that the complexity of superman masculinity, a masculinity that is not self centred and is creative rather than destructive, beyond him. Snyder is basically “man punch man shows manliness”. Ugh. James Gunn is so much better at character so I think he will get superman better.
I really hope Superman is not only good but successful to kickstart the DCU. I love Marvel and DC but will admit the MCU has not been the best lately so healthy competition will be beneficial for everyone.
This Superman looks like a warm emotional take of Superman. It will be the same all all Superman before it dealing with the same concepts. Only thing different this movie is done for those who dressed up as Superman when they were a kid and jumped of the sofa , if they had a dog they would but a towel around the dog and run around,
I appreciate your optimism but I'm not there yet. So far the movie does look like a remix of Donner, Snyder and Gunn which signals to me this incarnation doesn't have an identity of its own and more likely than not will feel like a greatest hits film. I loved MoS but I agree with all your points. I grew up with Reeves but those films are dated and a relic of the past. I want something new because there's so much lore to mine. Corenswet does look good but his hair dye looks messy and artificial. I want the film to be great but I'm super nervous.
Superman is supposed to be fun, that doesn’t mean that there shouldn’t be drama and peril. But fun and wonder should be the main theme. When it is you get Supes at his best.
YOU KNOW WHAT WE NEED? Re-grading the original MoS negatives (because it was shot on film) to preserve the naturalism of the original footage instead of looking “dark and desaturated”. MAN OF STEEL 4K RE-GRADED SPECIAL EDITION ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
It's great to see a positive take on Gunns Superman. I have 0 patience for the anti woke grifters who have a financial interest in hating this version of Superman. They can't like this because they've built their whole brand on not liking things.
What is it about the UA-cam commentary community that you all have to hand it to Zack Snyder for some reason? No no you do not it's terrible. Let It Go. A tiny tiny cult liked that it was a terrible failure.
James gunn is my all time favourite director. The suicide squad peacemaker and creature commandos are pure peak. Man of steel aand sll zack snyder films were absolutely garbage especially as a dc fan it was baffling. Finally we got the real dcu
The snyderverse was garbage. The DCU is going to make the snyderverse look like a literal mistake. An embarrassment to the brand. The way they WASTED Henry cavills talents on this horrible adaptation of “Superman” who was extremely depressed, not hopeful at all, didn’t believe the world deserved him, and the way he was portrayed as a GOD…. Which he should not be…. Snyder doesn’t even understand Superman OR Batman.
yeah I'm glad hack snyder is gone, david and gunn's superman is shown brooding, depressed and coughing up blood truly the hopeful interpretation real dc fans deserve
hey your handsome too dude, and I'm a dude too, a straight one, david may be superman but you're still goodlooking, even to me... a dude... a straight dude... I think?
Just like we all know you’re still bitter about the Snyderverse being a relic of the past. But keep trying to whine and bully your way back to the top. Won’t happen, but I wish you all the best anyway. 🤡😂
Be an adult. Recognize james gunn patterns. He does not know superman. He called him a big ol galoot and says suoetman is in conflict with his heritage. Like what? This wont the superman everyone thinks it will be and ego will cloud your judgement
Like you? Someone who struggles to write coherently? Why is it that all the man babies of the world are always the first ones to cry about people not behaving like adults? What is YOUR definition of an adult? If you think that’s you then you really need to do some soul searching
Those to things are correct Superman is a regular guy at heart with powers Clark is a goof. Superman did struggle between his human and kyrptionian heritage for a time. Get snyders meat of your breath and get over it sounds like you don’t really like superman
@ClarkorSuperman he's a Kansas boy at heart anyone who knows superman knows. Yeah he learns but always end up choosing being a Kent. If you take the chance and see Clark was initially a regular guy and Christopher Reeves made the Clark that way his own. If Snyder's open a BBQ spot I'd def not keep his meat out my mouth.
I’m hoping that James Gun’s Superman movie can make a billion dollars but I know it’s unlikely to happen. Because the Zack Snyder and Henry Cavill fan will be boy cotton the movie, Disney and Marvel will be using the tag line” we’re back on top top”, and the critics will be bashing the movie to kingdom come.
@@ClarkorSuperman i feel its all over the place... Also i only like one movie James Gunn have made so i am sceptical. But as i said i am worried, i am not dismisive... i will give it a chans.
@@pse2020 I don’t think so, it’s a Superman universe with other hero’s from the golden age. Can’t make the mistake of Superman returns and not have anything going on. Gun said this movie will revolve around Superman/clark with other characters being supporting cast
Romance was one of the things that worked best in the first Guardians movie so I think Gunn might pull off the Clark Lois thing.
ye the gamora and quil romance was pretty good, in terms of their dynamic, how it grew throughout the films was a bit inconsistent
I feel like it’s setting Superman up to be “the one” in the DCU and that’s why I love all the different characters.
