Superman

Americans are kinda dicks. Superman does all this work to try to save everybody and they all just stand around and throw shit at him. There’s no gravitas here. There’s no opera. He’s just an ordinary schlub busting his ass all the time, while he tries to take care of his dumb cousin’s pain-in-the-ass dog. He might as well be Ralph Kramden. Is the message deeper? Are filmmakers trying to compare Supes to the immigrant population? The janitors and farm-workers? Doing the stuff nobody else wants to do? Is it just a coincidence that Ma and Pa Kent are farmers? The righties sure are pissed off about something, supposedly. They probably want less Superman and more Homelander. But Homelander could never land a spark-plug like Lois Lane, so Superman must be doing something right.
