James Gunn, Nathan Fillion and more on MAGA outrage over director saying Superman is an immigrant: ‘I don’t have anything to say to anybody’ spreading hate
James Gunn is responding to the backlash surrounding his comments about Superman being an immigrant.
The team behind “Superman” is responding to the backlash after director James Gunn said the DC tentpole is the story of “an immigrant that came from other places.”
When asked about the reaction to his comments, James Gunn explained that the movie is for “everyone” and that he doesn’t have “anything to say to anybody” spreading negativity around “Superman.”
“I’m not here to judge people,” he told Variety at Monday night’s “Superman” premiere at Hollywood’s TCL Chinese Theatre. “I think this is a movie about kindness and I think that’s something everyone can relate to.”
You're viewing a single thread.
I mean... He's literally an alien that came here illegally.
Is MAGA stupid? Don't answer that, it was rhetorical.
Asmongold. Enough said. Also, most conservative men are opposed to bathing. Something something washing assholes is gay.
They are stupid, useless, and gross.
This can’t be true. Please say this isn’t true. Blech
You mean the guy who lives like a pig and has cockroaches climbing on his shirt while live streaming his newest rage fit should not be listened to?
Seriously, what is wrong with his viewers? The content is shit brought to them by someone living in his own literal shit.
I thought you were exaggerating so I googled it and what the fuck man.
Did you read about where the dried blood on the wall by his bed came from?
Jesus Christ, who the fuck gets bleeding gums as recurring thing.
Somebody who doesn't take
properany care of their teeth.People with severe gingivitis. Like if this guy wasn't doing something with moderate effort on a regular basis I'd assume severe depression because cleaning and oral hygiene are things that can fall to the wayside while struggling with depression. But also Jesus man, have some shame.
what is wrong with his viewers?
They identify with an unhygenic hateful asshole.
I don't understand why anybody watches a dude who lives in filth and go, "Ah yeah this guy has good opinions on things!"
Those people usually see him and think "He's just like me!"
I had to block all the channels related to this guy a few years back because he is nothing but a garbage take factory.
Hey, assholes are important!
Bible: "Jesus says to love your neighbor."
MAGA: "Why do you have to make it political?!"
Technically he was "born" in the US in most versions going back a few decades. His pod was retconned from one they put a whole living baby into in earlier stories, to an artificial womb "birthing matrix" that combined DNA. Was even a storyline that dealt with if he was eligible to be President based on that (may have even been the reason for the retcon, can't remember). So he'd be an "anchor baby" to use their racist term, and someone Donald wants to invalidate an amendment with an executive order for
Wow, I have literally never heard that version of the story.
Nah, that was true from 1986 through 2009, but it went back to him being born on Krypton in "Secret Origin." The standard born-on-dying-Krypton story has persisted through New 52 and Rebirth.
Is thst still canon? I know it was officially changed at least by New 52 to be baby Kal-El in the ship from Krypton again. And then Post-Crisis canon was merged with New 52 Canon with Rebirth and Doomsday Clock, but I haven't read a comic in years now. No idea what they settled on as his new origin. Either way though, non-lawful entry or born here with non-citizen birth parents, he would be considered an illegal or stateless immigrant under the current government. There is no getting around that Republicans.
Poor Supes has been retconned since he first appeared. For a while he could shapeshift and turn invisible.
He can't fly, but he can leap over tall buildings in a single bound.

1940 animated version using rotoscopes. One of my favorite versions of the Man Of Steel.
Man got in a fistfight with electricity
And won!
I watched Young Justice when I was a kid, I remember the one in the black t-shirt only being able to do that. I think he was Superman's nephew? Idk lol
The superboy in YJ was a government created half human half kryptonian. He was grown to teenager in a vat essentially.
In some versions he's almost literally Supes and Lex's son as Lex was the human half of the mix.
So, Supes is an illegal and he had a kid with another guy?
Also, the kid is dating Miss Martian, who is also an illegal alien and a shapeshifter who can become a boy if she wants to...
Get me my Bat-Shark Repellent!
No, not since 2009.

https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Kryptonian_Birthing_Matrix https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Armageddon_2001 Though I suppose it's possible it could have been retconned back at some point, and there could be continuities that just don't show the relevant bits so could be either origin as canon for that continuity. So may be more accurate to say for most just it's inconclusive
Well he's an Alien who is an American citizen more than likely.
Foundlings aren't directly mentioned in the laws but if a child is found in the U.S. and you can't find the parents, it is assumed to have been born here. And thereby a citizen by the 14th Amendment.
Unless someone could prove who his parents were and where they were born, until that time I don't think they would have grounds to revoke the citizenship
Pfft, you think the Trump administration would give him the benefit of the doubt.
When Superman came to earth Trump wasn't born yet right? He had FDR
AFAIK, current Supes is perpetually 28ish. So, he was born/arrived under Bill Clinton's administration. But Trump is trying to denaturalize people who have birthright citizenship without citizen parentage, so i dont think it matters.
In a few years he'll have been born under Bush!
There is proof of his origin, that hologram of his father that explained it to him
So you believe some people who found a baby in the middle of no where and decided to raise/adopt him picked up a hologram made of alien tech unlike anything seen on earth before and were going to bring that to the government to say we know who his parents are? Kid would go to a gov facility for infinite tests and the Kent's would be institutionalized or disappeared because everyone would have thought they were nuts in the psych ward. No way they'd know the kid was going to fly, shoot laser beams and be impervious to weapons.
I'm saying that when he's an adult, his origin is provable. In some of the films, Lex Luthor finds the proof
Yeah....but...MURCA!
