He couldn't be possibly have been created by Immigrants /s

Looks up Joe Shuster birth place... Toronto, Ontario, Canada with his mother being from Ukraine

Looks up Jerry Siegel parents were from Lithuania

Hell looking up their parents if superman couldn't be an Immigrant he would be a Soviet.

Also Dean Cain has always been a has been loser for a long time now.

nazis crying that their ubermensch is also a mensch

Ah yes, Superman. The all American hero... Created by a Canadian.

Dollar Store Jerry O'Connell is still around? Figured he'd have drank himself to death about 10 years after Lois and Clark ended.

What an ignorant bitch.

[–] Theoriginalthon@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

Yeah he made a mistake, superman isn't a immigrant, he's a refugee

I don't think everyone has to have read the original source material to enjoy something made from that material.

But if you're going to complain about it being faithful to the source material? Naw, that's in no way legit.

Plus... Like, definitionally, Superman was not born on US soil or to American parents. He doesn't have birthright citizenship

He's a literal alien with a fake identity, at the very least he's an immigrant, in every canon

[–] Blumpkinhead@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (15 children)

Technically, wouldn't he be an illegal immigrant?

Dean Cain is a "has been". He hasn't been on anything important in decades.

I've never cared about anything superman related because it is just the most boring premise of a character to me. what's the best way not get lumped in with idiots like this?

[–] blockheadjt@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 week ago (7 children)

If the premise of a superman story is "strong guy fight strong guy," then yeah, not very interesting. What I'd prefer to see is a story that explores what having superheroes around does to humanity. What happens when a kid copies Superman and jumps off a building, and doesn't get caught? What happens when police expect a superhero to do their job for them? At what point does Superman decide to step away because he thinks he's causing more harm than good?

The Boys, basically.

[–] chemikyle@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Maybe my memory is tainted because I tried to read the comic version of The Boys somewhat recently, but Watchmen is a much more mature exploration of the same topics.

Go see the movie just to spite Dean Cain.

[–] RevolverSly@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

Well, the migratory status isn't really been the issue with migrants, legal or not. Ethnicity in other hand...

[–] mostNONheinous@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Yeah well I’m calling Dean Cain a little bitch.

[–] NastyNative@mander.xyz 7 points 1 week ago

A good movie is going to do well. This is just called marketing! Like the fight between elon and trump it’s all an illusion to grab your attention.

[–] lostoncalantha@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

I’m sorry who is Dean Cain? Next.

[–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago

Wait 'til they find out that Joe Shuster was an immigrant too.
