There was a time when superman was underrated, but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. Anyway, I still like Spiderman, or more niche Baymax (or *even more* niche ̴M̴e̴g̴a̴ ̴G̴i̴r̴l̴ Alison Green) more, however Superman is still cool.
> His Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy for the MCU had not only all the action and excitement of the best superhero films, but they also had real emotional and moral texture that is rare in most films, not just genre ones.
*Spoilers for GotG 3* I got teary eyed watching them rescue the animals. It's so common for heroes, even of the "purely good" and "super" variety to not give a shit about animals. Apathy towards animal suffering seems to be woven into the fabric of our society itself. If I became superman one of the first things I would do is release all the animals from factory farms. I saw superman rescue a dog in the trailer so it appears Gunn is once again extending his empathy to non-humans too, god bless that man.
I won't spoil anything, but if you haven't seen the Superman, I really recommend it for the animal bit.
For me and the GotG trilogy, its vol. 2 that really hits me. I had a terribly abusive father and developed a "found family" in response to such a bad home life. Guardians vol. 2 really hits on these, and it gets me in the feels every time.
Just saw it. It's not just pro *animal* welfare, but pro 'monster' welfare. Plus a whole bunch of other lefty stuff I can't believe Gunn got away with (those were definitely palestinians that were about to be genocided right?)
