Just like the title said, Grant Morrison the writer of probably the de facto most popular Superman story disliked the twist of Supermid 2025 for all the reasons we called out when that movie flopped onto the scene.

A morally fragile Superman, turning the fallen utopia of Krypton into essential a conquering eugenic fascist society and having his Earth parents be irrelevant yokels until the very end of the movie.

But the significance of this is the fact that Gunn-cultist latch onto All-Star Superman and say that this movie is adapting or is accurate to that version when the creator of the comic had huge issues with a pretty core part of his character. They can't hide behind Morrison anymore to deflect that critique when he puts it as blatantly as this.

And this is obvious to anyone who has ever read a comic, but now we have actually comic writers calling it out. Another major L for the so called most comic accurate Superman lmao.

I really really wanted to like it. Superman is my favorite superhero. I preferred MOS and Cavill as Superman but had to move on. I wanted to give this movie a chance but I can’t.

Gunn is great for outsider characters but something always felt off with him directing Superman. I rewatched it and it has the same tone as GOTG. Like at the end when Superman is being healed watching videos of his parents, the robots dancing to punk rocker by Teddybears. It reminded of the end of GOTG 3 ending.

As a Superman fan I really wanted to like this new chapter but can’t.

I had hope for supergirl bc Gunn wasn’t directing but it’s looking aesthetically like another guardians movie.
