always thinking about how many people were hyping up gunn's superman as this favorable allegory for palestinian oppression and he couldn't even be quiet and take credit. specifically went out of his WAY to be like "absolutely not" lmfao
saying the film lacked pop culture impact when this song was everywhere the entire summer and there was a massive wave of hope around the world is insane
In both of these he kills someone out of necessity but in only one of them does he show despair and regret... and the narrative actually forces you to consider the cost of his action, instead of abstracting it and moving on
Now guess which one people were mad about
James Gunn confirms that the Boravia-Jarhanpur conflict in Superman (2025) was an allegory for the Israel-Palestine conflict.
"Everyone was right, but I don't know why they assumed Boravia was the one that represented Israel"
