I'm a construction worker and it's exactly what came to mind immediately

Just your average Amazon employee back to the warehouse for some modern, recreational serfdom

He's pulling himself up by his bootstraps

I don't think construction work is the the low of the low, do some actual research or please stop.

one can almost listen to "f*ck", as he finally wears the boots, then a second "f*ck", when he tries to standup, a fina F8cuk when he finallly stand up.

This. The last thing I want to see is yet another GrimDark, Zach Snyder Superman, who doesn't give a crap about anything.

In that pile of garbage that was the Justice League movie, there was a glimpse of what could've been. It was definitely not something that came from Snyder. For all his flaws, Joss Whedon could've given us a Superman that brings hope. In the wrong hands, even diamonds turn to sht.

Hollywood? They might suck, but Snyder is the asshat that didn’t understand the character. Pretty sure after people told him, he doubled down and continued to bastardize Superman out of spite.

He did. I mean, in his first flight, in MoS, he was almost crying he was so happy. He was also cracking wise, later in the film. In BvS, after he saved the girl from the fire, he smiled at her parents. Those are just a few examples. There were others.

I don't think I ever saw a live-action superhero like that, other than the Christopher Reeves movies and the (glorious) Batman tv series. You can only have either broody and miserable or sardonic douche cracking jokes.

If you think he was let go for saying that you’re lost in the sauce.

@@user-xr7fi6dy1w Of course not, but look what's coming.

@@user-xr7fi6dy1w as someone with zero interest in these films I don’t get the impression jimmerhardy is actually saying that is the reason but it’s perfectly reasonable to suggest a correlation between the two incidents.

@@hotpotato4027 I like movies, this channel just hates on movies. That’s how he drives clicks. People should check out redlettermedia. They don’t do audience capture.

​@@hotpotato4027that's a load of nonsense

Perhaps. But given that it's an in-between-takes photo it's the actor that looks that way. In that moment he's not playing Superman, he's just a guy with an acting job.

@@justinm2697 That context doesn't come across in the photo. He's not sitting in a "backstage" environment, or with other staff, or next to filming equipment, or anything to break the illusion. Releasing this specific photo for PR was foolish.

@@Hypershell What's foolish is people negatively judging one picture that isn't even bad.

@@CorruptDemocratsJ6 The background is bad. It creates a bad synergy. If the actor was sitting in front of a black curtain, I might have agreed with you.

Discount Cavill

Tbf Cavill hasn’t been in anything decent himself since Man From Uncle

It looks like an AI trained on Cavill.

@@firstlast9846 Fans like him though. He isn't in things because of his stance on how brands should stick to it's lore and be authentic. He represents fandom.

The stunt double is cheaper. I would do the same. Ahah

that what I think this is too. this film will be yet another American hero that will be another "ho hum maybe my time is done, I should step aside for this stronk independent wahmen/brown person, and just go die somewhere" type of movie.

If you knew the shit show that you were heading into, you would to. Lol.

Dude I am so...white... i am sorry I have to be here...sigh lmao

The Thousand Island Stare.

He's just putting his boots on

The sad truth is that anything in life can feel tedious once it becomes a routine; even saving the world.

its just a set photo lmao

Wasn't that literally Cavill's Superman, though? He took his heroism as some sort of burden he sulked about all the time.

@@jacksonlogger Exactly. It's just to show the costume and the actor. These streamers really did milk this one.

Thats literally just 1 photo lmao

He wasn't perfect. He looked the part but in DC movies his acting is lackluster aside from a scene or 2.

Get over it.

@@timneptune198 Henry Cavill is a good actor though, so if he seems bad in the DC movies it's probably down to bad directing or some other factor.

@@timneptune198 THIS.

Mate, he had like 3 or 4 chances, and he blew it every time. He cannot act.

How does Snyder act like a teen?

​@@scottbarbour9745 because he's like the Dane Cook of filmmaking.

@@scottbarbour9745just look at him? dude dresses like a teen, all tatted up and heavy on the Just-For-Men hair dye. 😂

Superman probably hates parts of his job

Womp womp

Probably AI did a better job

When I saw the thumbnail I thought it was AI 😳

Yep, not just an AI image, but an AI image of Cavill's Witcher character as Superman, just moments after he dropped the iconic F bomb.

It really does look like an AI pic

​@@JustapErsonWhat does an AI photo look like exactly? How does this compare?

Maybe it was the LED volume behind him, and that's just what was cued up on the screen at that time?

"ANOTHER space laser? Come on Luthor! It's 5am gosh darn it! Guess I'll have to say Metroplis AGAIN. "

It's tough times my friend.

Prob gonna be relatable then

False. He looks like he's been in a big battle yet still has a tinge of levity on his face despite the circumstances.

Maybe his only son died in Vietnam and his wife left him and he's an alcoholic and nobody respects him as an archeology professor. Maybe he just got a visit from his "god daughter" that's never been seen or mentioned before just now. Maybe he just wants some of that tasty green space cow milk straight from the teet. So many possibilities.

David is literally bigger tho at 6’6 and 240lbs

@@esaahmed786 hes 6'4

There is pictures of him being buff go look that up

David's muscles are natural.

Nah he worked out, it just looks Ike the suit was too big for him and not properly tacos him.

Sounds like One Punch Man where Saitama is disappointed that he has no real challenge. The villain can always be defeated with one punch.

Why??? Tell me why??? Give me good arguments

@@tomgu2285 DC fans like serious and adult, but uplifting and heroic. James Gunn does goofy and funny with moments of sorrow and depression. I don’t think his style will mesh well with these heroes.

Yes, I think you got it. It's just Gunn trying to make a joke at Supe's expense. Not gonna work. Not watching, not even in the high seas.

Nah

Even if comedy was appropriate, Gunn has lost his creativity. He's a yes man now.

On the contrary I think Gunn is exactly the right guy they needed 10 years ago to helm the DCU. But its too little an too late now I think. the DCU reboot is dead on arrival

I personally like James Gunn's weird/cruel humor and even I think he's in the completely wrong movie here. Very prideful (or greedy) of him to take over the project instead of delegating it.

Actually he's a serious character, but in a light hearted tone unlike batman.

@@rommelbengaliI think that’s a better description of him. He’s a man where in any situation he tries to be positive and who understands the full seriousness of the situation but does so with a positive attitude.

He's serious, but he's also an optimist and he possesses pretty much every one of the classical virtues. The only internal conflict he struggles with is the fact that he always has to pull his punches.

@@alexvesper7820nah read some more comics, he also struggles with the burden of being Superman, the pressure of perfection and the ideal of Superman. Pulling his punches isn’t the only internal struggles he has, that would make him boring and not relatable

@thegotspod the point is that he's not an antihero, he's a hero. Modern studios have forgotten how to do heroes.

Or his sock got bunched up in his boot and needs to fix it right away.

The look of a FOXConn factory worker when they realize that new suicide nets were just installed 😂

This is what an Amazon warehouse worker looks like when he has to pretend to fiddle with his boot to disguise the fact that he's peeing in a bottle.

Ouch, good point.

Yeah, sad.

Gunn has always had an issue with taste. He has niche humor to put it lightly and often his tastes are not what the general audience likes. GotG is an outlier because of Disney/Marvel Studios reigning him in. I thought his The Suicide Squad, without oversight, had significant issues with the humor and characterization of many characters. Gunn unchecked is not good in my opinion and having him in charge of DC is a ticking time bomb, especially with popular characters like Superman and Batman.

This is a chronic case of not reading the room.

@@tristandevlin6667That is a big problem of WB. They are VERY director-friendly and seem to let the directors do what they want unchecked. That works for directors with a crystal clear vision. But some directors. Synder, Gunn, Taika. Need to be kept on a short leash.

Yeah it's weird. If they hate the director or whatever, fine, but Supes is my favorite hero, he's OG. Hopefully the acting, writing, and directing are top notch.

I don't see it. It looks better than henry cavill suit which was god awful

Dude. It's a photograph. Relax.

Gunn suit looks brighter, Is more interesting looking Trunks

​@@spenser9908 Dude I am relaxed. Still doesn't change the fact the suit looks very cheap.

@@mariobadia4553 I see it. Looks definitely worse than Henry Cavill's suit. Heck i'd pick the Superman from the CW over this.

If I were rich, you’d be making this movie. ONLY studio demand, the Dickie’s Killer Klowns theme plays at least three times.

I would LOVE if they had Superman vs the Killer Klowns! That would be perfect for Gunn and soo absurd that it might have worked!

Nobody: NO. GOODBYE HENRY CAVILL AFTER BAD MOVIE HENRY CAVILL 2024

Then the witcher turns away and gives out a frustrated....f......uuuu......cccckkkkkk.

"Hold on, I need two hands to pull my boots up. They always get stuck around the heels, it's a real issue in my life."

I didn't like The Batman. I think I turned it off after about 15 minutes.

When it comes to DC movies, lots of people thought Keaton's Batman would suck, Heath ledger would not be convincing as Joker and no one will ever top Jack Nicholson as the best live action J (until that infamous first picture dropped and everyone got excited), and who else... I know that Nolan's Bane became a biiiit of a meme these last few years (his treatment in the Harley Quinn show was a nice way to get in the joke so to speak), but he's still been a pretty liked character for years... more than expected when Tom Hardy was announced. Everyone expected a huge dude, I mean obviously Tom is pretty damn big but it's still Bane we're talking about. i thought they made a better Bane in the show *Gotham* 5th's season, played by Shane West. Definitely worth a watch, that last season is kinda controversial in the fandom but no one can deny that it's an entertaining one.

Why didn’t you like it?

​@@aldunlop4622 because you want duh CGI an duh big boom noizes!

@@TheGoldenCapstone not me man, I’m the opposite. I like good stories and likeable characters. CGI is great if’s done well, but it’s no replacement for story. In fact most of the movies I like have great practical effects. CGI should only be used if it’s impractical or if it enhances the story.

Superman is optimism and idealism in its best form.

He*

This is a candid set photo, not part of the movie. You're reading a lot more into it than necessary.

@@ShakerSilver No it isn't. Candid set photos don't have special effects.

​@ShakerSilver You mean with the candid pink laser firing off in the sky behind him?🤣

I think this would look one hundred percent better if they left out the giant laser in the background...

This would be funny if James Gunn's Superman didn't have a reported budget of 270+ Million. Bigger than both MoS and BvS.

​@@kingkiller5325these budgets are out of control.

It's all money laundering

​@@MrJJDIZZLE23 lol right. I don't understand that as a criticism. Superman has a look and Cavill fit that look just like every other actor that played the character

@@seregagerassimov4864 looks like somberman to me. Jp

Yep. He's fumbling around in his boot hoping he's left a bottle of Jack Daniels in there.

Thats 3 movies. Thats a decent enough run. But honestly no they could have gotten much more than that, it just would require good writers who knew how to evolve and age the Character.

I’m confused, isn’t this suit supposed to be made by his mom, like in the comics?

I don't think Mauler can take that kind of criticism

Cavil isn't superman anymore shut up and get over it

honestly, i prefer this over "spandex", which may look good in comics but not much on live action

@@Spillow-C agreed

Seriously, you see this shit all the time in nerd culture. People get one screenshot and think they have the whole fucking plot figured out. Everyone needs to calm the hell down and at least wait until we get something actually substantial before they call the movie shit.

​@@tylertheguy3160agreed. And you know, this is actually genious marketing. Every reactionary person like Critical Drinker who likes to milk the recent news/events is talking about this suit. That generates attention, because negativity is always more valuable on the Internet. We don't even have a normal and clear look on the suit, and people are already talking about it.

lol

What do you mean? The suit fits him.

He had the impression that he was given a suit three sizes larger than it should be.

You know they edit it to fit after shootibg

There’s a shot of Christopher Reeve as Superman flying over Earth, smiling as he looks at the audience. That’s the sort of moment I would have liked to see, not this depressed dad working to pay child support.

​@@tonyclements1147yeah, they shouldve releases a image where he is in the sky and looks down and gives a gentle smile or they shouldve released an image where he rips his shirt open to suit up if they wanted to be abit serious.

@@vineetdesai6396 Exactly, the symbol showing under the shirt as he pulls the shirt away could have sold it better even if it is a strange decision to use the Kingdom Come suit when this is supposedly a younger Superman.

@@tonyclements1147 Rumor has it that it's going to be reverse kingdom come or perhaps they are building to Kingdom Come as a Endgame like event. Looking at the plot synopsis:- He is the embodiment of truth justice and the American way, guided by human Kindness in a world that sees kindness as old fashion. Kingdom come delved into these themes similar to the plot synopsis of what this movie is claiming to be.

Cliche is not always a bad thing

Gunn is simply lying. There's too much post-production in the image. There's no way it was just a random on-set shot....

Captain America had some lame or cringey suits and all his movies did good.

@@timneptune198 no he didn’t. They started off with the most admired and well known version of the suit and it developed from there naturally throughout the story. Plus that’s Marvel. No one wants a marvel style suit for Superman. Gunn should’ve gone the Captain America route if anything. Start with the most well known and beloved version of the suit and of the character and build off of that. Don’t just jump straight into this iteration with 0 context.. it doesn’t matter if the movie winds up being good, cause you’re killing any anticipation you might have had for it

​@@_XR40_the suit is taken just like That, The background is edited

Yeah, because all "candid on set photos" have giant space laser eyeball thingies in the background...

I thought that's was Zack Snyder thing.

My experience with gun on superheroes is very different than yours. I find that he is a massive fan of the characters and his respectful of their history.

@@Jackfromshack Having unlimited power would make anyone depressed. Imagine being able to fix most of the issues in life for others, and having almost none of them yourself! Much sadness. He's probably listening to My Chemical Romance.

Looks like a giant space abortion to me.

At least this one is horizontal instead of vertical. What a depressing straw to cling on to.

@@taudvore259 lol. I didn't notice that. It's completely different because the laser is going horizontal! Not like in Avengers when it goes up or Suicide Squad when it goes down. Seriously, what would Hollywood writers do if sky lasers weren't a thing?

Easing us into the future when the actual beam from Earth beams up into the sky!

'All publicity is good publicity' just doesn't apply anymore. People are talking about it, but for all the wrong reasons. Yes, it's just a single photo, but it's also the audience's first impression. And it's not a good one.

Heath Ledger in TDK is UNMATCHED, IMO

Honestly, that'd be kind of fun as a plot device. Superman does actually sleep, and it'd be fun for him to wake up at 4:00 am to the sound of space lasers and mumble about it. "God... I didn't even get to bed until 1:00 am. What the heck, man?"
