I didn’t hate ZSJL, but that was always Elseworlds Superman, and pretending the main popular version of Superman from the last 75+ years wasn’t usually a selfless and heroic guy who saves the cat is just wild to me.
Zack Snyder’s Justice League. A movie that wasn’t…good, but I actually mostly enjoyed, even if including the ending that set up a sequel that was already never coming was a wildly bad idea for future discourse.
Yeah. And at this point it has been 20 years since even a pale copy of that version was on the big screen. It’s due. At a certain point you need to actually have the construct again to deconstruct the narrative.
Often more or less agree with your media takes, but this one puts the cart before the horse IMHO. the 20th century was the time for Superman Classic/Real and the 21st was always going to involve the very slightly different set of anxieties that naturally pull Beware The Superman out of the setting
frankly i’d say the mere existence of the 90s internet (even pre WWW) made it basically inevitable that TNAS would devolve into a Bewarefest just like DS9 was always going to end a mile up cyberpunk’s glistening hole
