The most realistic part of Superman James Gunn is not superheroes

Warning: This article contains the spoilers of James Gan “Superman”.

Directly from the first scenes from James Gon’s new movie “Superman”, We know what the villain is in the movie, Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult). Of course, Luther Superman (David Cornsuin) was hated, and he used a cadre of computer experts, Supervillas, and a convincing dirty on his own to hit the steel man on the ground. Luteor, before the start of the movie, knows the secrets of the crepetum, carefully studied Superman, which allowed him the best in hand fighting (through the Ultraman villain that controls it remotely).

Lex Luthor was also photographed as a technological billionaire and depth in the world in the world. There is a brief montage in “Superman”, which shows critics who are parroted the Superman anti -angler rhetoric on the Twitter social media site. Luteor does not necessarily have social media, but it is easy to see the similarities that Gunn draws between Luteor and Elon Musk. According to The World Gunn, The Daily Planet is one of the remaining few news outlets that are interested in the honest and honest press. It is still without touched by the Luteor effect.

This corresponds to a subcontractor about Louis Lane (Rachel Brussanan) and its daily power, the planet who achieves Luther’s mysterious participation with a war on the verge of going out between the imaginary countries in Bouravia and Jarahrafur. Although it is still unclear how, Luteor definitely addresses the conflict for its own benefit. Superman’s ability to stop wars flow with one of Luther’s numerous plans. By the end of the movie, Lewis and her colleagues will reveal the truth, and the villain will be brought in Luteor. Luther is ashamed after that, and his evils now explained naked to see the whole world.

Unfortunately, it is the least realistic part of “Superman”. This is a movie with a green lantern in it. As we all know since the past fifteen years, the use of the truth in shame that the evil billionaire has almost no effect.

Gunn borrows from the traditions of long script writing about the strength of the truth in an unintended world. One may remember the excitement of Philip Noyer in 1994 “a clear and present danger”, “a clear danger”, ” Jack Ryan II movie to achieve Harrison Ford star. In this film, Ryan discovered that President (Donald Moufat), without knowledge of the public, participated in the drug war in the shadow in South America. The plot reflected many scandals that destroyed the Ronald Reagan administration. A “clear and present danger” with Jack Ryan discovered the truth and confronting the president. Initially, he is defensive: “How dare to bark in my face! I’m the President of the United States!” Jack Ryan, a firm moral man, shoots “How dare YouSir!

The undeclared result is that the truth is very distinctive, very terrible, which cannot be fully repaired, so that the president must apologize for, and admitted a shame on this issue. Perhaps it will change his ways, or resign in a shame. This is the same inclusion that Gon tends to “Superman”. If the evil Luteor is highlighted by the press, he will have to recognize his explanation, express actual shame, and return to the shadow.

Of course, this type of development only works in a world with shame. Thanks to the lies, criminal acts, and delightful evils of a specific administration, their name must go, now we know that shame no longer exists. When crimes are committed in the open, no press disclosure of the bad will stop. We live in a world that the president can only say that a negative story, no matter how honest, is “fake news”. He may also say, in addition, the story is correct, but whatever, he did so, and will not apologize.

If Gunn wanted to tell a more accurate story about the modern media scene, he will know that Lex Luthor would have obtained the ability to manipulate stories in his favor. Or, at least, Daily Planet LED was buried in a sea of BS via the Internet, or perhaps more accurately, he says that the story was correct, but it was in fact, and this is what the American people want to do. One can see this dynamic play every day with Elon Musk, who bought Twitter.com and turned into a haven for extreme right -wing. One may know how chatbot of artificial intelligence, Grok, recently praised Hitler His ideas for genocide. Musk has not faced any consequences for this type of things, and he would not like it.

One may remember the story of Jared Yates Sixon, a journalist who was looking at the Russian influence in the 2016 Donald Trump campaign, which was denied by the Trump camp. Sixon looked at the secret meetings between the Trump team and the Russian castles for a year, and began finding actual communication. Then, one morning, Donald Trump Junior publicly admitted to Twitter that they were, yes, they were meeting with the Russians. Was the conflict of interests? Of course, Trump did not care. It would only be corrupt. Sixon wrote: “I worked on this story for a year … and … it’s just … he tweeted it.”

These days, the imagination that a journalist can attack and disarm the villain in reality, feels heavy and dated. James Gon’s “Superman” may be a ridiculous fantasPocket dimensions, giant monsters, and flying dogs, but the most west imagination is that modern journalism will get the ability to remove an evil like luteor. It is a comfortable imagination, of course, but it makes “Superman” feel like it comes from a more innocent era. We may want journalists to have the ability to download the powerful, but this type of things only works in the world of cartoon.
