That's literally his backstory. He's a refugee from another planet that's like the whole point.

Imagine being this goddamn stupid.

Just remember; when someone says “don’t make it political,” that’s a statement with a political agenda.

Call them out on that bullshit.

This is peak absurdity. You have a being from another planet, the being is sent from another planet because his planet was about to explode. In a last ditch attempt he was sent to earth by his parents. It surely sounds like a person who could be identified as an immigrant, illegal alien or asylum seeker.

Did Covid make dumb people even dumber? Ignorance certainly is bliss..

DUDE! In the 1940s they called Superman an immigrant... HE IS A FUCKING ALIEN!

Also he was an ILLEGAL alien! His escape pod landed outside some childless couple's farm house in the mid-west, and bless their hearts the first thing they did was adopt him.

He's litterally an alien.

I kinda wish they had gone for an actor of middle eastern descent, or perhaps even immigrant status, to portray Supes. For no reason other than to piss off the bigots.

Another chance to post this...

From a 1949 book cover distributed to schools by DC.

Superman was always woke you dummy.

Wait can someone explain since when is superman not an immigrant? Bro literally fell from the sky or some shit from an alien planet. How the fuck is he not an immigrant? Oh right hes white.

Ignoranus n. Someone who is both ignorant and an asshole.

He’s literally an illegal alien. Like, according to every definition of the words.

Acrtion Comics #1 ...Lets see:

• Superman persuades the Governor to stay the execution of an innocent death-row inmate (p. 3-4)
• Beats up an abusive husband (p. 6-7)
• Dumps some rich sex-pests out of their car (p. 9-10)
• Intervenes in a corrupt lobbyist bribing a DC Senator (p. 11-end)

"When did Superman become so WOOOooooOOOke????"

Dean Cain and Kevin Sorbo - two people who would get their asses kicked by the characters they played.

Ex-Superman Dean Cain can fuck off

Dean Cain is an idiot. So there's that.

Boomer has boomer opinion, next at 11.

They didn't go woke Dean, you aged to be a shitty person.

Superman as an immigrant's story is one of the oldest and most obvious analyses of the character. It's barely even subtext; it's just text. Imagine how he'll react when he finds out Superman was originally a New Deal socialist who went around smashing up corrupt capitalists' businesses for safety violations.

Remember when they had to define woke for some court case? The definition was something like acknowledging that there are inequalities in society. Superman's whole schtick is that he's morally good and has a ton of power but doesn't resort to authoritarianism. That seems pretty "woke" to me, too.

Welp. All I have to say about that is: fuck Dean Cain.

What else would superman be? Are you gonna change the lore so Krypton is a small town in Kansas?

Every once in a while I'm reminded of what an absolute dipshit one of my fondly remembered actors from childhood is

I mean, he may be right that it'll hurt the box office to polarize the public, but Superman is as much an illegal alien as you can get.

Come to think of it, what is the story regarding his birth certificate, citizenship etc? Did Ma and Pa Kent claim a home birth and get him documented?

How is it a mistake? Kal El is literally from another planet! The term "immigrant" or "alien" could not possibly apply more.

I'm going to guess that James Gunn isn't going to take career advice from...checks notes...Dean fucking Cain.

Die in a fire, Dean.

Dean Cain was in one of the 'God's not Dead" movies. That tells you all you need to know about him.

He & Sorbo need to have themselves a bro down, together. My money is on Cain being first nut out.

If the only thing Cain has to whine about in 2025 is denying Superman's leftist origins written by depression era immigrants, he's really got nothing to complain about or is trying to distract from some bullshit or sell something

He's litteraly immigrant. It's objective fact. What he's talking about? He think calling Wonder Woman a woman is "making her woke"?

Cain voted for Bill Clinton twice, and voted for Al Gore in the 2000 United States presidential election, the latter of which he later said he regretted.[21] He supported John McCain in the 2008 election, and supported Rick Perry in the 2012 election.[30] In 2016 and 2020, he endorsed and voted for Donald Trump.[31][32] He also endorsed him for the 2024 election.[33]

In 2018, Cain was elected to the board of directors of the National Rifle Association of America.[34][35]

-Wikipedia

Trump's wife is an immigrant. Trump's parents were immigrants. Many people who are immigrants don't like immigrants because immigrant is code for "someone I don't like for x reason".

I mean technically Superman is a refugee

Sorry, I forgot you existed Dean Cain.

Everyone this movie matters to already understands Superman enough not to be bothered by the comments of some has-been actor who clearly never understood the character he portrayed.

Dean Cain is a fat jackass with MAGA brain rot.hes also the worst of the superman actors

Superman isn't just an immigrant. He's a refugee when his home was destroyed by civil war. He came to the USA and made it better because he's an immigrant.

I'm super disappointed. I had sympathy for the guy, the superman of my childhood. Anyway
