So now portions of MAGAWorld are turning on Superman as an immigrant who embodies WOKE values of “truth, justice snd the American way.”
Helping the underdog? Damned commie rat bastard.
Don’t be a bully? I’ll bet he’s a sissy homo.
In fact, Superman was birthed by Jewish writers during the Nazi era as a way to counter the Nazi propaganda that was flooding into our country.
Superman, more than any comic hero, helped win Ww2.
German propaganda even placed a column in an S.S state organ , “Das Schwarz Korps denouncing Superman and his horrible influence on American children:
"The clever creator of
"Superman' is a Colorado
beetle who works in dark. Incomprehensl- ble ways. He appeals to the ideals
of American children under the cry,
"Strength. courage. justice.'
Instead of taking wise advantage of the opportunity really to further serious virtues. he sows hate, dis-
sension, Injustice,laziness
and
crime in your hearts. Jerry
'Seal- Ing Wax' (Siegallack) stinks. It Is pitiful that American children
who must live In this atmosphere of the
west don't even recognize
the polson they dally swallow."
The piece was rumored to have been written by Josef Goebbels himself and his words have been echoed in recent days by prominent voices in America’s right wing echosphere:
Kellyanne Conway: "We don't go to the movie theater to be lectured to and to have somebody throw their ideology on to us."
Jesse Watters: "You know what it says on his cape? MS-13."
Said the co-authors of Superman: The Definitive History:
Superman has faced attacks like this before. For nearly 90 years, he’s been a symbol of decency and righteousness—and for just as long, that has caused backlash and pushback. “I’m sorry to break this to Fox, but he was an immigrant since 1938,” says Edward Gross, coauthor of Superman: The Definitive History. “Now that word has become a third rail,” adds Robert Greenberger, the other author of the book. “And Fox just leapt on it because it was red meat to them.”
Nazis have been attacking Superman for over eighty years.
Fuck these Nazis.

James Gunn, the director, summed it up best: "This movie is about kindness."
And of course MAGA hates it.
If kindness makes you angry, you may not be a good person.

Not too long ago Club 401K was *happy* that Superman did NOT say "the American way" and mocked those of us who took umbrage at the omission.

Why would that make him a full citizen?
Entering the country as a minor doesn't confer citizenship (which is why we have DACA in the first place). Being adopted by U.S. citizens doesn't confer citizenship either, though it does open up pathways to naturalization.
Supes' origin story has been retold and retold countless times, but my recollection of the comics from my misspent youth is that the Kents pretended that Martha had been pregnant and had a "surprise" baby. They never legally adopted Kal-El/Clark.

No, they never did that. Was Martha supposed to hide her pregnancy?
Superman's origin story is that the Kents found him, adopted him, and raised him as their own. There are no parallels to today's illegal immigrants.

It was winter. On a farm. In the 1930s.
They brought him to town in the spring. Nobody had reason to question whether Martha had given birth to little Clark.

That’s only one of the origin stories. No mention of an adoption. Just that they raised him.
Stephen Miller would see through it, especially given Superman’s later career of not showing a preference for white people and treating everyone as an equal.
Even if Superman was a natural born citizen, that would be no protection…. Just look at Rosie.

Yes. Canonically, the Kents discovered the baby, and then their very rural area was hit by a massive blizzard that kept them isolated for six months. So they decided to just say that Martha got pregnant and pretend that Clark was their natural-born child.
Superman's origin story is that the Kents found him, adopted him, and raised him as their own. There are no parallels to today's illegal immigrants.
Except for the fact that this makes Superman an illegal immigrant. True, very few of today's illegal immigrants are literal aliens that arrive by spacecraft from an exo-solar planet. But his story does parallel theirs in that he is a non-naturalized person who is present in the contrary in violation of our immigration laws.
BTW, my family went and saw the movie this weekend - and I think many conservatives are largely missing an opportunity in getting upset over this point, rather than fully embracing the film as advancing their preferred framing of immigration. That discussion involves spoilers, so maybe we'll return to it in a few weeks when more folks have seen it.

Ehhh. Not really. I don't recall Superman swimming the Rio Grande, trashing somebody's border ranch and settling into some town where he goes on to rack up DUIs and other assorted criminal charges. Don't think he stole anyone's identity either.

To the extent that "conservatives are getting upset" it's more about one of the Gunns saying something about "It's not the American way, it's the Human way" or equivalent thing. I've never been a DC comics guy - Spider Man was my hero - so I'll likely wait until it gets to Prime Video.
DC comic movies with the exception of the first Wonder Woman have been...not so hot. Glad you enjoyed this one.

Really? Nothing in the Superman canon involves having a false identity, where an illegal immigrant falsely assumes the persona of another individual in order to pretend that they were born in the United States? Hmmmm....I think you're missing something there....
Clark Kent's entire existence is based on a falsehood. In the current canon, it's the falsehood that he is Martha Kent's natural born child. In prior versions of the canon (yes, I looked it up), it's based on a misrepresentation that he is of terrestrial origin (being an alien disqualifies him from the one potential path of legal status).

That's a plot gloss. No one is interested in the adoption details - it doesn't move the story along. There are plenty of immigrant kids adopted in the US. Kal-El was white, so of course he could be a citizen. Prior to 1940, a kid of unknown origin found in the United States was deemed to be a US citizen by birthright. There was an act in 1940 that clarified and restated the law. I'm not sure is this presumption exists today.

Sorry, albaby. I think you’re losing a step.
Allow me to retort.
1) Superman did not cross any borders. He literally fell out of the sky.
2) Martha, who was ahead of her time, had a home birth. Her husband confirmed the story. There were no witnesses to contradict their story.
3) Further, the irrefutable proof that Superman is a U.S. citizen is the fact that he’s white.
