This writer confesses she was really looking forward to seeing James Gunn's 'Superman' in theaters. She loves Superman, enjoys movies, and has a particular fondness for eating popcorn.
Alas, James Gunn and his brother, Sean, along with the media, seem determined to deter her from spending the money on a ticket.
Why?
Because they're politicizing the movie.
WATCH:
No, it's not.
It's a superhero movie and an adoption story, where Kal-El is sent to Earth, adopted by the Kents, and raised in Kansas.
The post continues:
He never needed taxpayer-funded housing.
He never needed taxpayer-funded medical care.
He never joined violent gangs.
He never trafficked drugs, guns, or children.
He never stole jobs from Americans.
And most importantly, he never voted fraudulently in any elections.
Does this clear things up for you, Sean Gunn?
It will not.
Heh.
With super strength, x-ray vision, and the ability to fly.
Really sad to watch.
And they're not afraid to remind you of that. Repeatedly.
You're not alone.
They're doing a great job of that.
No one knows this better than Nick.
This.
Exactly this.
How does this writer know this? Well, check out what director James Gunn said:
The rule of thumb has always been a movie is profitable when it makes back three times its budget. The reported budget for 'Superman' is $225 million, which means it must gross over $675 million to be considered a success. This isn't a rumor, this is basic math.
