Again, the the benevolent god-figure Jor-El who sends his only son to Earth to be a beacon of inspiration was an invention of the Donner movie and was done to both make the Superman movie appeal to general audiences in America at the time, as well as a way to convince Brando to be Jor-El (since he'd basically be playing God).
Prior to the Donner movie, Kryptonian society in the comics evolved into a very strictly and arrogant scientific society that refused to listen to Jor-El's warnings about the planet's core about to explode. Jor-El simply sent Kal-El to Earth to save him from the destruction of the planet; the whole "light to show the way" BS was invented by the Donner movie.
Superman's goodness came not from Jor-El sending him to be a beacon, but because he was raised by two kind farmers in Kansas. Gunn's Superman understood that better than any Superman movie before it, and people are mad because it didn't follow the Christ metaphor that Donner invented fifty years ago.
Love saying "Okie Babyline needs her baba or she's gonna have a menty b." to tell my coworkers I am going out for a smoke
They are no longer shocked by faggicisms
The gay agenda wins again
The replies, woof-
I love Jimmy as much as next person- but if you find him "likeable" you are a mark, and he'd have you thanking him for taking your pocket money.
Embarrassingly bad discernment. If u were one of the last humans you'd be desperately waiting to get assimilated.
#Pluribus star #RheaSeehorn questions why fans complain that Carol Sturka is unlikable:
“Nobody asked that about Walter White,” she tells #BryanCranston. “Nobody asked that about Jimmy McGill: ‘What’s up with them being so unlikable?’ They were behaving in an honest way to the situation they were in.”
Cranston asks, “You think it’s a gender issue?”
Seehorn responds: “I don’t know. When people are like, ‘She’s so unlikable,’ I’m like, her wife’s dead; they killed her. Career’s done, might not ever be back. You may very well die alone and never speak to anybody again on a couch eating a frozen meal, watching ‘Golden Girls.’ There are no friends anymore, there’s no family and the world is saying, ‘We’re just waiting around until we can take your brain away.’ And she’s not polite about it.”

@An_Aria_Blooms Have you ever read/heard of Ada Palmer's "Terra Ignota" books?
Gay, bloody sci fi reimagining of The Odyssey by a renessaince historian who does for the renessaince what Emily Wilson did for the odyssey
Everything you post/read makes me p sure you'd love "Too Like The Lightning"
@buggirl Jefferson Mays is my GOAT for this. He builds characterization thru nuance without doing gender at all. His high, reedy voice helps to not sound automatically male- but he puts clear intention into it.
Also the king of emotional delivery while mainting volume levels.
mercymorn is one of those rare characters where she is canonically in a situationship with multiple people at the same time and each situationship causes me significant psychic damage
