She’s not wrong, though. A freshman creative writing student can tell you that interesting characters have strengths and weaknesses. Superman is literally indestructible except for one specific rock that isn’t even found on planet earth. That is, by almost any teacher’s rubric, stupid and boring.
What doesn’t make sense about Superman is why a piece of rock from his home planet could kill him. I could understand it making him mortal since he was mortal while living on his home planet, but not it virtually killing him.
My idea is that he is so used to the power of the sun enhancing him that his body can not adapt to being mortal so the strain on his body morphing back is strong enough to kill him
I grew up watcjing DC and Marvel cartoons and wished they would some day make a live action movies about the cartoon series. I had to wait a long time. An now that they’re making them it has to be ruined by spoiled little brats that can’t get there way. What James gunn has done with every movie that he’s been a part of DC or Marvel has been on point. I always imagined what if he had Kevin Fiege position. An now that he has that same position in DC, I think DC is in the best of hands. DC will now have a timeline and everymovie will be build up for next one coming up. An DC is more violent then Marvel, I hope they don’t turn it into PG 13 movies like Marvel movies. An it looks like Henry Cavill had been working on get a role in Warhammer, and is been his game as a child so I sure he’s good with the departure. Spoil little fans get over it.
You have been watching PG-13 movies this whole time; Man of Steel, The Batman, Dawn of Justice, Justice League, Wonder Woman[1 and 2], Aquaman, Shazam, Suicide Squad, even all 3 films of the Bale trilogy are all PG-13…. Only The Suicide Squad and that awful Joker film are R-rated.
The model will change… Gunn has to change it. DC realizes their first model wasn’t working and that’s why they brought Gunn on board. But, don’t expect the change to be that they get darker and everything becomes R-rated. It’s
a business and that model will fail to produce big money because it will limit the target audience.
So, expect the tone to get lighter, expect running jokes, expect them to continue making PG-13 films as they always have. But, most importantly, expect the films to tie in to one a other and feel more intertwined with fewer plotholes.
A Ten Year plan!
The point of comics is for kids and kids will rewatch movies, fixate on them and buy the toys. If you make the movies too “violent” kids won’t see them and youblose the merch.
Yeah you know you could have made a argument had you not been the spoiled child yourself. Don’t tell people how to feel about something, especially when it has to do with pop culture icons such as Superman. Is DC better off for having Gunn probably.. Do i want to throat punch him if he’s the reason why he isn’t Superman anymore? Absolutely! Facts I only watched the hot garbage that is DC movies just to see him and him only. Superman wasn’t even on life support before Henry stepped in on Man Of Steel he was full blown dead. He portrayed the character so well in Man Of Steel it’s just him now. Now i gotta wonder if we lost Geralt for nothing now to? Also a Character he nailed so well the shoes simply can’t be filled now. So to end the rant here this is the thoughts of this “spoiled person”. Who are you to tell me otherwise!!?? I think Gunn screwed the pooch here cause I don’t want to see another Superman and clearly other people don’t either (a LOT of others).
I’m 43 and I agree. Not since Christopher Reeves has there been a superman I have cared to watch. Until Cavill. Saying he is ok with the AX is B.S. He didn’t just leave the witcher part for his health. He thought he had a superman movie/part coming up. Yet the little felony Flash Ezra is still going strong…why is he still in DC? Great Role Model for the kitties…But they are they/them…Fk that!!!
I wholeheartedly agree with you! Silly people think they know what’s going on behind the scenes better than the ones actually behind them LOL and they also feel like they know how to create movies better than the professionals and it’s beyond ridiculous! I will surely be watching anything that Gunn puts out.. I’m not missing it just because a fan doesn’t agree with every little creative decision that Gunn has made in creating these movies. I’m sure Cavill is fine and honestly he probably isn’t even worried about it like these people are. For all they know he could be wanting to steer his career in another direction and they decided to put him in a end scene just for memories sake. All I know is that I truly know nothing about why they chose to make the decision to switch actors but I have faith that Gunn knows what he is doing and has made the proper decision for the movie and everyone involved. I don’t understand why so many people would miss possibly the most incredible movies just on a hunch that they have and how the feel – SMH on a MF wall! Why can’t people just decide not to watch a movie because it actually sucks rather than not watching a movie because their feelings were hurt. Alas, I guess at the end of the day they will be the bozos missing out and I will be sitting in a theater munching on popcorn and enjoying tf out of a nostalgic yet modern and exciting Marvel/Gunn masterpiece. I love my SciFi and Fantasy movies far too much to allow a guy who is just butthurt to ruin it for me! Anyways.. like I said I agree with this last comment and think this is just petty bratty behavior on the instigators part.
Thank you so much. I think he is the best Superman since Christopher Reeve and he plays the part and makes a believable. All of these people who have never picked up a comic book in their lives are trying to tell other people who have been following them for 4 years or more how it’s supposed to go. I think people really need to just enjoy the movie and mind their business and not try to have a part in every movie TV show actors lives. Get your own life
Kryptonite are pieces of Kypton’s core, which Kryptinianas harvested for energy to the point the core became unstable, resulting in the planet’s destruction.
It’s called radiation. That is why it can kill him. It makes sense that if the radiation from our sun can give him super powers, something that is completely ridiculous, that it can make a rock from his world into something that is deadly to him.
Rely. Stand next to uranium and see what it does to you. The rock has properties that are deadly to his physiology. Just like lead or other minerals here are to us.
The yellow sun gives superman his powers. The krytonite kills him because on his planet the sun was different. The radiation from our son when combined with kryptonite kills him.
Okay then why does he have adverse reactions to think four different kinds of kryptonite red green orange and yellow I know red kryptonite makes them psychotic and deranged green makes them weak and could kill them thank yellow makes him lose his mind and able to be controlled
Blue kryptonite Makes him Mortal when in his presents and exposure to gold kryptonite makes him human permanently.
There are more types of kryptonite in DC than there are lantern organizations.
The prevailing theory in geekdom is that kryptonite can kill Superman because it disrupts his solar panel-like energy absorption. Without energy from the Sun, he weakens and eventually dies. Though kryptonite is a fictional mineral, the way it interferes makes sense
Really? Does it make sense that a radioactive rock (uranium) can kill humans? You think Kryptonite was a common rock just lying around on the ground like the common rocks you see around you? It was in mineral deposits deep underground released when the planet was destroyed
Kryptonite or The Rock as you call it is radio active. On one story lex keep a rock of it on his pocket and over time it gives him cancer. it’s possible the same phenomenon that makes him super on earth increases his vulnerability to that radiation. However it’s just a comic book so there is no true right or wrong answer.
Krptonite can’t kill him…it weakens him with it’s radiation. He is allergic to it because of where he came from. Others can kill him when it weakemshim. It’s extremely simple. Different types of kryptonite effect him in different ways…different allergic reactions. He is also not invulnerable despite whether he has kryptonite infront of him or not.
It can kill him because the rock is giving off radiation if our bodies are exposed to Radiation we can die if the levels are lethal the level of radiation that is coming off of kryptonite is high enough to kill any kryptonian
All superheroes have the same weakness no matter the level of power that they have granted Superman is the most powerful being on the planet very little can physically hurt him but his vulnerability is that he cares for humanity as well as the ones he loves personally and his enemies always use that against him
It’s not plain and simply just a rock from his own planet. It’s a completely different mineral that he is no longer adjusted to. Same thing as the way he was normal on Krypton but on Earth he was unusually close to the sun and absorbing it’s rays is what energized him and made him the being the world knows. And at the same time our dramatically opposite atmosphere radiated partial shards of Krypton making them harmful to his newly
aquired physiology.
The pieces of crypton that fell to earth were radioactive by cryptonian standard due to whatever caused the explosion of the planet….. I say whatever because I don’t remember the cause of the explosion
Because when his planet exploded the remnants were irradiated from the sun that went supernova. The reason they lived mortal lives on their planet was because of the radiation from their sun. It’s in the comics and lore. We get atan from our sun but if you was standing on venus with no protection you would be vaporized
Superman is the greatest hero of all time, every character has a weakness, but he is special, if u love marvel and DC u would understand how precious superman is the same as Batman, or wonder woman.
Ever heard of poison? Can’t that kill you? How come something from YOUR home planet can kill you, but it doesn’t make sense for a character in a story?
Use your brain if you hav3 one… there’s lots of stuff from earth that could kill you….soo why is it weird there’s stuff from his planet that could do the same? Lol give your head a shake
Because our gravity is a lot lighter than krypton and he’s spent his entire life here. His planets gravity can crush him without getting used to it. Like divers coming up too fast get the bends.
It’s the sudden change in his physiology, our yellow sun gives him his powers so think of him like a living machine running off of solar energy, take away that solar energy or block that energy by using something that blocks yellow sun radiation (Kryptonite, red sun energy) and supes is drained of his strength, which would be physically jarring as he is being sapped of his strength
It does. Not kill him, it’s stated many times it just takes away all his power, and since he is habituated having these powers he feels extremely weak…. What’s not to understand, it never killed him untill or unless it is used as bullet or spear to penetrate
What doesn’t make sense about Soencer is why a piece of metal from his home planet could kill him. I could understand it making him mortal since he was mortal while living on his home planet, but not it virtually killing him. After all, Radium seems like a harmless little piece of material.
Kryptonite isnt just a rock from his home planet, it is pieces of his home planet irradiated by the explosion of their red sun. So it not only weakens him to human levels, it is radiologically toxic to him.
Superman is literally part of American culture and heritage. Without Superman, there would have been no superhero ANYTHING, or any 20th Century comic book industry. So quit sounding like a know-nothing.
Why comment back to people who think they know writing so superman being strong automatically means he’s boring they obviously haven’t read none of superman just look at all-star superman one of the best character study pieces ever Superman coming to terms with cancer
I’m not a comic book fan but love movies. I love the MCU cuz even with 8 spiderman movies in 3 series they never reworked anything to death. DC keeps going over the same material with their big IPs…Superman and Batman. Now we dump a solid superman to go over his younger years…AGAIN. Not that excited about. But not boycotting MCU’s GOTG3.
Thank you for saying that. People need to do their research better. Not too mention DC came before Marvel and still doesn’t get the attention or proper love it’s owed.
I love how people who have never followed comics until the marvel movies think they are experts. Watching marvel movies does not make you a comic book fan
Superman is boring bc the network are writing that way. Henry is a great image for Superman but the management isn’t concentrating on his depth. Lets demand more of them rather than act like children and blame the victim.
All fictional characters are indestructible… that’s why they usually get resurrected. It’s about the struggle not the character. All of these characters have a struggle that exposes their humanity even Superman
Many fictional characters are destructible and die. Have you ever seen The Wizard of Oz? Remember when the house landed on the witch and killed her? She definitely wasn’t resurrected.
And there you have it folks. 1 out of 215 comments actually responds to the boycott issue, and then it’s totally ignored in favour of discussing superman’s strengths and weak eases, because true fans dare about the character, not the person playing them.
Just as well really, or people might have considered boycotting future cavill h films as retaliation for him leaving the Witcher series…..
And anyway, there are six months before gotg3 releases. Nobody will even remember planning to boycott it by then.
More imaginative writers I deratand that Superman might be physically indestructible, but he’s not infinitely present, not is he all knowing. He’s also got a particular moral compass. Those are all weaknesses. But I’m glad you think physical power is everything, for some reason.
If you think that then you know nothing about his struggles. Could you imagine maintaining a relationship with anyone you love knowing that you can crush them into a paste if you aren’t always careful? Knowing that you will out live everyone you know by hundreds of years? And superman has been killed. Multiple times. And he is seemingly the last of his kind besides his cousin.
Batman is one of.the greatest minds in the history of dc. He is right up there with lex luthor whose many power is his intelligence. He has taken out se of the worst villains with some gadgets and his witts alone. No powers
Kryptonite could be located in other parts of the galaxy or just be creative like Bruce Wayne was in Batman v Superman. C’mon people use your imaginations.
We are seriously debating over Superman here?. Its comics we are talking about even Marvel has some ridiculously strong characters way more powerful than superman, If you think superman is powerful lookup Sentry, Dr Manhattan, Silver Surfer, Galactus, Quantum Superman(Who’s not superman by any means just by name on parallel earth and held ultraman like an action figure)
What makes Superman special is not his powers or weakness but his story arc, his foes, character being older than any of us the amount of time and details invested into Superman
Superman is not just a comic character but an icon, If it weren’t for Superman you wouldn’t have Thanos today, Jim Starlin himself admitted that he was inspired by Darkseid so much that they decided to create a character like him so the created Thanos 3 years after Darkseid’s first appearance as a Superman foe , as for him being powerful what makes Superman unique is that he’s always facing foes much more stronger than him, the likes of Darkseid, Braniac, Doomsday
On the contrary I don’t care for Cavils return though, I think it was a right move by James Gunn opting for a change, fans while keep on whining, they did so too when Daniel Craig was cast as new Bond or when they saw Ruffalo instead of Norton for Hulk, casting Superman wont be easy though, since Reeves iconing portrayal but if they get it right DC while rise again, never liked Snyder bs only okay movie he pulled was Man of Steel even then the character was portrayed differently
Think about it though. His body has adapted to earth’s atmosphere and mineral/chemical makeup. A radioactive rock from a foreign planet would probably f..ck most of us up. Watch the Andromeda Strain movie
What rock have you been living under? (Pun intended) Kryptonite is readily available on Earth and can even be synthesized. He is also vulnerable to magic and red solar energy spectrum. He can be depowered with red solar lamps. He can be injured or killed with laser type weapons that operate in that spectrum and harmed with kryptonite enhanced weapons and various alien weapons.
She’s very wrong. Billy Batson — aka Shazam Can kill Kal-El (Superman) and Black Adam. There’s a few others but these two are good for now, so no it’s not just a rock that you can’t find on earth…
You obviously don’t understand the character. Even if you take away his powers, he’s still Superman. He also has a flat character arc, which can be frustrating for new and experienced writers alike.
I think superman’s character shines the strongest not when we explore his mostly non existent physical weaknesses but rather the fact that he has a very human mind.
Break his mind not his body
You are incorrect Padawan, super man is weak to kyptonite and completely helpless to magic. He is only empowered near yellow suns and is one of the most inspirational characters of DCU. His story is very in depth. You’re also sounding like one of those people who like Batman too and think he her Binks was talented
Not a fan of boycotting. It is a product of people who it doesn’t effect their own bank account. I tend to think of all the people who earn their paycheck when making the move. Like all the supporting staff. Not so much for the actors but all the other people.
Superman does have strengths and weaknesses. Krypton ite is his most well known weakness but his greatest ‘weakness’ that his villains take advantage of is his compassion for all living creatures. Of course, what they don’t know is that it is also his greatest strength and what makes Superman really interesting. It’s not just his powers that define him, which is what his villains and fake fans who know basic information about Superman think. For all his godlike powers and his extraterrestrial nature, he is more human than most other humans (Lex Luthor etc.)
Superman has many vulnerabilities! Some of them being the people he cares about. How do you hurt a man of steel? Harm the people of flesh around him. Good story writing could destroy an indestructible character.
This is a fundamental misunderstanding of Superman and why the character has good writing
First, his villains ALL beat him first and he has to overcome them: sometimes with smarts alone so clearly he isn’t invincible or perfect, he’s even died before.
Finally, Superman is about home vs heritage, fitting in, finding your purpose in life, a story of how a God learns to adapt to live amongst men, to be part of a whole even if you’re different.
And magic and radiaton of red sun and who knows what else (depends on writer).
I am not a huge fan of Superman as I find boring as well, but Cavill was spot on for the role
Superman’s two greatest weakness are Lois and the people of earth. Without the love for humanity he would rule the planet. But it is still not a reason to boycott guardians of the Galaxy 3.
If that were true, the character wouldn’t be popular and certainly wouldn’t have endured for over 80 years. I think you probably realise that your statement flies in the face of that established and immutable fact.
A freshman creative writing student can also tell you that the best Superman stories aren’t the ones where he’s fighting physical forces. They’re when he has to deal with things he can’t stop. Such as the time when he absorbs too much solar radiation and is dying. He now has to grapple with spending his last days with Lois and his son or spend his days saving people.
But then you probably didn’t bother looking past the “Superman can’t be hurt” part to actually figure out how to write a good story.
You’re absolutely incorrect in thinking that Superman’s only weakness is kryptonite. Additionally, the character of Superman is far more complex than I see you have warranted.
The fact that he’s indestructible doesn’t mean he doesn’t have any weaknesses. Sure he’s vulnerable to rocks and magic or whatever, but that’s not the point. The point is that despite his power he’s just like the rest of us, and almost more than that he’s good to a fault. His moral code is admirable, but it can’t be denied that it is a soft that can be exploited just like kryptonite and magic. He can’t always use his crazy power when that would mean the death of innocents. He needs to be more careful and responsible than any other hero.
Kryptonite can kill him and make him very weak easily. Zack Snyder is a terrible filmmaker and has no idea how to create a character that is remotely likable. Don’t confuse the newest movies with Superman as a character. Superman 1 and 2 by Richard Donner were excellent
The reasons the mcu and DC are flopping because they directors lack vision they don’t know how to channel their inner child who reads the comic like omg read a bunch of comics before u make a movie interview fans on what we want to see and make it happen
Let me, a person from Generation X, tell you why you are all barking up the wrong tree… Superman’s weakness is not anything Superman. It’s Clark Kent, and the relationship he has with others, which makes him vulnerable. And which the current film version of Superman films fails to explore.
If you watch the original 2 Superman’s with Christopher Reeves those stories delved into this very well and it’s why those movies were so entertaining.
This was also a problem with Superman Returns movie from about 15 years ago. Clark Kent was hardly even in that movie, and his relationship with other not explored at all.
If you want superman to be interesting, you ha e to put Clark on an equal level in the film as Superman. Which hasn’t been done in about 40 years.
She is wrong as you both miss the point of the character. One which was actually revealed in the movies. The internal struggle of being nigh invulnerable and not succumbing to the lure of simply taking over because you can. Furthermore, it isn’t just a rock that isn’t even found on earth to which superman is vulnerable as there have been other non earth villains that pose a threat.
Superman’s biggest enemy, and the bulk of his more serious comic struggles are due to his inability to understand and anticipate the baser tendencies of mankind. Countless enemies get away with their criminal behavior through deceipt and maniacally planned misanthropy.
Lex didn’t always have a lunchbox of kryptonite in reserve, yet bested him many many times.
I would love to ever see Superman portayed on the big screen with that much faith in humanity despite of all the despicable acts we do in our most craven moments. But the film writers always ignorantly call for “green rocks” at the end of act 2 because they are ignorant of Superman’s far more crippling vulnerability; his unflappable conviction that humanity is as good as he believes.
Makes me sad thinking about how much we always seem to let him down. And sadder still that he will always give us more lattitude to continue to try.
There’s a far more thought provoking story to Superman that has so far not been tapped. One where he is still quick to smile, even when his eyes hold a vague sadness that he is always needed to save humanity from itself.
And that just goes to show that you don’t read anything about Superman, just know his basic backstory, and are talking trash without understand all the facts.
So I see your knowledge of writing is at a freshman level. Interesting characters can be strong, look at Invincible and the god immortal Kirby. A good writer knows to focus on why Superman isn’t super because of his powers, but because he’s a super MAN who stands up for truth justice and the American way. Freaking kids
Another millennial “J” Superman also possesses few weaknesses. kryptonite and red solar energy as well superman is still vulnerable to powerful psychics especially those with Telepathy and he’s vulnerable to pure magic.
That’s why good Superman stories are not about his powers. It’s about the inherent flaw of humans. For every power Superman has, he was raised a human. He lives, breathes and acts like one. He is a hero because he wants to be one. He wants to help people. He is a good person who would help as many as he can. That is the core of a Superman story. The fact that you don’t know this tells me more about your lack of Superman knowledge and good writing.
As a freshman creative writing student, you’d be smart enough to know it takes real characters like Superman to be well rounded to stand the test of time. Challenge you to write something that will
stay in the zeitgeist for a century.
You Just lack perspective, Superman is not indestructible, he has more than one weakness, it’s his everyday struggle to keep his power in check, in opening doors, typing everyday stuff which is easy for us, he has to control himself all the time, it’s a story about a god living with humans, and he still has villains which can take him down and not with kryptonite, Brainiac, mongrel, lobo, parasite, doomsday never used kryptonite…
And still are worthy opponent .. i am sorry that your knowledge of Superman is only limited to the few movies you have watched and made up your mind, which is ignorant But if you had done your research you would not say this… Superman is not boring, he is misunderstood
Both of you are missing the complexities of Superman. For instance, with all his power, he couldn’t save his father from dying in his arms. He has all this power but does not use it for evil, even though he could. Lincoln once said, most men perform under adversity, but if you really want to test a man’s character, give him power.
There’s characters just as OP as Sups in many ways yet ppl only complain when it’s sups. It’s no problem with being the strongest in the universe. The problem is the creators thinking earthlings can stop a damn near God level character. When they need to be producing more Villains on the same power scale if not stronger than sups. Let Superman protect the universe instead of just Earth. Allow weaker heroes to become stronger while the Op heroes fight elsewhere. IMO
Superman is also vulnerable to magic, which hasn’t been excluded at this point.
However, the best Superman stories take advantage of Kal-el’s humanity. His depthless kindness, empathy (despite being an alien), and fundamental humanity. It’s not about the power set or how difficult the enemy is to overcome. It’s about his emotional and psychological weaknesses.
You obviously don’t understand the character well. He is vulnerable to many things, not just kryptonite. He gets weaker away from the sun, has to recharge, is vulnerable to magic. What makes him so interesting is his emotional state. He’s a godlike figure that yearns for the human experience.
Not boring at all.
I’m just hoping that Gunn’s new and improved version of Superman crashes and burns so badly that WB goes bankrupt and Gunn ends up in a back alley turning tricks for food.
I’m pretty sad that Cavill is leaving. I loved his run and it does seem f@cked up how all this negative publicity of Ezra and Amber, legal issues might I add. Whatever, i’m probably still going to watch GOTGV3 but i’m definitely upset about this loss.
Superman has been a boring load of papshy smapshy since the 1950s. The Perfect Boy Scout might be a good role model but he’s a terrible character.
And by the way? DEFINITELY not a millennial, here, and DEFINITELY not clueless when I’ve got a couple thousand dollars worth of comic books from the 1950s and 1960s in my attic.
I am a huge fan of Cavil’s Superman and am extremely disappointed that they are not going forward with his Superman. Having said that it is a business decision and fans should try and understand that. I have been very happy with just about everything that James Gunn has done. This outrage is totally ridiculous. The fans sound like a bunch of petulant children, grow up. They are trying to build and plan a universe that will work. Let’s give it a chance.
I beg to differ. First there was that character that could bring the dead back to life, make the blind see, and create an institution so powerful it could have a magic city outside the reach of any governments.
Actually, you’re wrong about who was the first super hero.
It was Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze.
but, both he and Superman both debuted in 1933. Doc Savage in March (first), Superman – April 18th.
Doc #1
Soops #2
Research!!
DCU has made plenty of mistakes and how they handled Henry’s situation was less than what he deserved but GOTG is an established storyline that deserves a proper ending and I believe Gunn will give it that. I will definitely go and see it.
Thank you. I frankly don’t give half a crap about them recasting Superman. How many times have they done Batman now?
GoTG has nothing to do with any of that.
I am not interested in non of James Gunn direction when it comes to movies. And when it comes to Superman, he doesn’t have the passion enough to make a good script.
Pick your battles people. Boycotting for this reason is ridiculous. This is just artistic content love it or hate it and companies will always make moves you don’t like but has nothing to do with your entertainment experience with another movie unassociated with it. I say grow up for anyone who has a problem with Superman not being your Superman
Really think it’s a mistake
Cavil has played and looked the part of superman better then anyone to date
The history of superman is a purely American story
And literally the greatest superhero ever created
And Cavil filled the roll perfectly
I love galaxy of gurdins because I hear the announcers saying to play that movie for 2023 that’s the year I graduate that year thank you for being fans
I Couldn’t Agree More with you if I Tried. As a Superman fan since the age of 4, I was Extremely disappointed at James Gunns’ decision. Though I am intrigued as to who he might cast as a Younger Clark Kent/Superman.
Emily, you’re stupid and boring and no one would watch you. However Henry Cavill was excellent in the part. As good or better the Christopher Reeeves. He should have had another shot at the role.
Well said Jeff. I strongly agree with you. Henry is excellent as superman. Now that Gunn removed him, I will no longer be watching guns movies. He made a Big mistake in removing Henry. Henry is young still to make more movies as superman. Gunn could wait with his stupid changes. It will not hurt him at all because we the fans love Henry as superman no one else. Gunn could wait until Henry retired as superman. Gunn is going to see a Big Numbers drop in box office because of his ignorance mistake to Henry.
While I agree with you in part, that Henry Cavill played and equally amazing Superman. I’d still have to give it to Christopher Reeves overall though. His bumbling portrayal of Clark made a very noticeable difference between Clark and Superman. The way he walked and talked you’d never think he was Superman. Till he was. With Henry unfortunately as much as I love the guy as an actor, when he was Clark Kent, he was still Superman to me for the most part.
Emily, firstly, you spelled his name wrong. Secondly, Superman is the oldest of the most famous comic book superheroes. Just because he doesn’t apply to you doesn’t mean he is stupid or boring.
Thirdly, Henry Cavill has been a fresh change to the Superman legacy, something we haven’t seen since Smallville so if you’re going to make a point, bring some knowledge with you please.
Superhero movies keep getting worse. It’s been all downhill since phase 1 of the MCU finished. Everything is woke and it seems that DC is following suit. I have no interest in a Gunn written movie. GOTG2 wasn’t good and the Christmas special was a joke. Also, both suicide squads sucked.
It’s the MODERN AGE!!! Nobody wants to see a punk azz 20’s somethin kid playing him these DC’S & MARVEL movies are for Grown folks now. This ain’t no Childs Play GTFOH!!!
Emily’s a GenZ brainless. Found out earlier. You should see their social media…Lame. Trying to be relevant in the world. Then save people instead of joining the cult as we now know it.
You obviously know nothing about his character and only what you’ve heard from others. Superman is far from boring, and his only weakness isn’t just some rock.
Deep down Superman is one of the best hero’s BECAUSE of how powerful he is. One of my favorite encounters he had was a fight with Darkseid. Before fighting him he explained how he feels as though he lives in a world made of cardboard. He has to literally focus all his strength both mentally and physically even when he simply gives someone a hug or a handshake, as to not squeeze too hard and kill or seriously injure them.
Superman’s compassion for everyone is a true beacon of light, he sees the good in everyone regardless of their past and tries to help them, instead of always just resorting to killing or brute force.
Superman may seem boring to you because again you don’t know enough about him as a character, his morals and beliefs are what make him one of my fav characters, not his powers…..those change too much depending on who’s writing him. But the original Superman, was perfect. His personality hasn’t changed, and that’s one of his biggest powers.
I’d say you’re boring if you think a character as deep as Superman is boring.
Lastly to those that said he only has one weakness, lol. Aside from Kryptonite, magic can hurt him too. But his biggest weakness, and also strength, is his love and compassion for mankind.
Boycotting Guardians 3 doesn’t affect Gunn at all. He’s already been paid and cashed the check. It doesn’t affect Cavill in any way either. If you believe boycotting Guardians 3 will result in Gunn and/or DC hiring Cavil again for the 17th time, then you’re delusional. It will do nothing to Gunn, SC, nor Cavill. If you’re going to boycott anything (not that it will affect that specific project), boycott the Flash movie, Aquapac 3, Gunn’s DC movies. Doing that may cause DC to rethink their writer/director/actor choices. Boycotting Marvel Films will not.
Of course “Emily”, who was likely born AFTER 2002, would say that superman is boring…. Emily should stick to watching “My Little Pony” instead and not comment on classical Characters they know nothing about.
It was just uncool the way it was handled. They new this was going to happen coming in. So it should have been done immediately. Can’t stand Gunn, Guardians 2 sucked. But I will watch 3 just to finish out the trilogy. Then never watch anything Gunn does again.😉
You are correct about that but they need someone recognize to bring together the whole franchise like the MCU did. Superman and Batman are the only two most recognizable characters. Batman is too dark though.
Superman was dead after Christopher Reeves died. There never should’ve been any attempt at a new one. Keeping Amber is what will keep me away from the DCU though.
Lol! Yes, I agree with the second part. He could be in the most boring movie of all time (like the Lord of the Rings) and I’d still be glued to the screen! 😍
Sorry that you are stuck in victim blaming. Henry makes a great Superman but the Studio management is using him as eye candy for the wmn rather than giving him better scripts with depth. Why don’t you turn your anger or dissatisfaction towards them. Then you will get the Superman that you expect.
I bet you watch it though but you criticize but you watch the other ones right all the other superheroes that I bet too something like your brains not too strong
Well, you know what they say about opinions?? Anyway, lots of people do like Superman and Henry Cavill was the BEST! That’s ok, he will do well in his upcoming projects. Who needs DC!
What do mean by that exactly?You didn’t say anything particularly negative about Henry Cawill himself(little mad nyself towards,due to his sudddn exists here and there ,almost at oncr and out of the blue..But,still,that’s just him as an actor,how express his characters AND MOST IMPORTANTLY how he looks,which isn’t to debate, LIKE AT ALL..An IDEAL MAN LOOK OF ALL MAN LOOKS there’s what we say,or the non-myopic rational majority would say..Good that’s settled down now and clarified..🙃👍)though,so I would pro-contra argue or discuss with you for eternity, if I have to .One of the biggest endurances of writing out there,if needed,you see🤷😉
Finally,you did however rather belittle the otherwise exceptional character being Superman,instead.Kinda acceptable,but that’s due to his concept,or what?Care to elaborate now, gurll?😅🙃👍💎🌈
Good for u I guess. Superman is iconic. He is one of the biggest names in comics. While, u are entitled to an opinion, millions of fans disagree. Many also cared about Cavill’s portrayal. I am sure they could care less about your thoughts. I know I don’t…
Yeah, sure, because one rando on the Internet has a tantrum, Hollywood is just going to shrivel up and die. Suuuuure.
Honey, it ain’t “woke” when an actual child predator is still making millions. The Cavill situation has nothing whatever to DO with “woke,” it’s just YOU being a moron and throwing out “woke” as an insult to anything you don’t like.
Im my opinion . its the writing amd the casting. Bit mostly the writing. Batman vs Superman exteneded cut was an amazing movie. More please…..the casting innthat movie was spot on. Too many changes in actors playing characters jas damaged DCU. Comsitancy and story lines need to be improved….Superman meeds an upgrade to modern times but not a new actor. Henry Cavell is one great actor and its Supelrman….not Superboy. Let him play the role
The Disrespect to Cavill is just sickening… Couldn’t Agree more when The Rock said that Cavill is this Generation Superman Hands Down. Was so Exited when I finally got to see his face come out of the shadows on Black Adam and so exited to know that I would get to see Cavill Dawn the Red Cape again… Lets ALL Fans come together and make them feel the hurt by just NOT suporting The Gardians 3…
Cavill is one of the best actors to play Superman in a while. Why do they always want to screw up something that works. If you want to change something get rid of Miller in Flash. He’s useless.
….okay, so what about the disrespect to Christopher Reeves that they hired Cavill in the first place? Being this hung up on who plays a character that’s had at LEAST eleven different actors so far is what’s sickening!
I’m still waiting on a good DC movie to come out so I am quite keen to see what Gunn is planning. GOTG3, I will be there just as I have been for every other Marvel film.
I’m sorry but what does boycotting GotG3 have to do with Cavill not playing Superman again? So you want to hurt all the actors and crew that put in a lot of work on a movie because Gunn has something to do with it. I’m sorry but that the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. I will be going to see GotG3 and I hope Cavill will come back as Superman. He’s the best Superman we’ve had since Christopher Reeve.
The fact that you think ANYONE who supports Gunn who is a child pedo is ok is sick!! Yes everyone should boycott Gunn! His a$$ belongs in prison!! Anyone who supports him and Hollywood for money over children is what’s wrong with this world!!! Done with people ignoring pedophile!!! NOT OK!
Stephanie I will not be seeing any film by James Gunn. There is not a single movie I like or own that he was involved with. If actors are worried about being out of work then my guess is they aren’t very good at their job. I hope everyone boycotts all of Gunn’s works.
Jeff, you’re crying about Superman on a Disney website. I wouldn’t lean too heavily into the trash talk, your father is probably disappointed in his son enough as it is.
I have other reasons to avoid watching any future movie written and directed by James Gunn – namely “Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2” and “The Suicide Squad”. Both movies were solely written by Gunn. I thought “GotG 2” had a badly written plot, despite strong characterizations. And I though “The Suicide Squad” was an utter mess. But after learning what happened to Henry Cavill, I’m inclined to miss out on “GotG3”. I’ve lost a great deal of respect toward Gunn as a filmmaker in the past five-and-a-half years.
Firing is the first step, then the rest of the twitts that thought it was a good idea as well. Won’t be any reaso to see movies in theater anytime soon
I’m failing to understand what Cavill has to do with Gaurdians of the Galaxy? Oh, because it’s the same director? Boo-hoo! The Guardians movies are some of the best of the MCU. Which still has nothing to do with Henry Cavill (and I’m a big fan of his just fyi). People find any reason for a boycott these days, they’re starting to loose their effect.
I agree, the only thing I was excited about, as far as DC movies are concerned, was Henry Cavill returning as Superman. I don’t know who’s decision it was giving James Gunn control over anything but I’m baffled as to why.
Wars. Poverty. Child abuse. Domestic violence. Murders. Etc etc and people losing their crap protesting over some actor not playing a part anymore. Human race has truly lost its way
People complain DC is stagnant doing same thing over and over again. New faces with a proven track record come in and want to change things up. So people complain that they aren’t doing the same thing as before. People just love to complain. How about wait and see how things go.
I personally love the GoTG movie’s and the holiday special. They make me happy and tied to great memories in my life. I even named my dog after rockets soulmate Lylla who’s finally showing up. I’m not boycotting a movie I’m excited over simply because of choices in another franchise that in all honesty wasn’t even my cup of tea. But that’s my Opinion Opinion and choice and we are allowed to have different views and choices 😉 😏
I would have loved to see Henry Cavill as Superman once again, but I can kind of understand why Gunn wants a younger guy picking up the reins. And I will definitely not be boycotting GOTG 3 as they are some of my favorites!
Henry Cavil said he was not going to do another Superman movie, it was his decision, not the studios or the Director’s, you guys are just throwing toddler fits over something that was not going to happen…
He was in the end credits scene in Black Adam and then he posted a statement and video on his social media announcing his return as Superman. Then a few weeks later Hamada quit as DC Films head and Safner and Gunn were announced as the new heads of DC Films. They decided to scrap all the current projects. Cavill just a few days ago announced he was told he would not return as Superman. People are just upset about all the quick changes that are happening. In time people will change their mind.
Good job guun you are going to be hated in both franchises now I won’t be seeing GOTG 3 st all and your downfall will be your own fault for rebooting DCU enjoy your painful downfall you screwed up. #boycottgotg3.
Of course I’ll see the movie , soon as it comes out on streaming, just like every other movie. This so called boycott is only going to make more people go see it.
There’s no such thing as bad advertising even bad advertising is good advertising.
I feel like it’s sad to remove Henry Cavil as Superman considering how good he is as him, but I also feel it’s slightly necessary to try to start from I clean slate, if they want to make a connected universe like marvel. Especially since around 50% of the connected DCEU was pretty trash, even if it had good actors. Also you have a whole flash movie they can’t release, which is a huge money waste, considering they won’t be getting that money back. James Gunn is walking into a barely stable trash fire, and is trying reform it, so if some of trash is the greatest trash ever, it still can’t be excluded from the rest of the fire.
DCU has been an unwatchable mess since they started. Clean house and try again (if they have the cash to throw at it). Cavil was fine, but far from perfect. Let them start from scratch, it certainly can’t be worse. And the absolute winners on here calling it “woke” are just worried about living in a world where they aren’t the privileged main character anymore and others get to co-star. I hope introspection is a skill you can learn… Otherwise I’m sorry for all of the manufactured pain you must be in.
Amazes me how stupid people can be. WB absolutely destroys the DCEU over the years. Finally conceding that it is a dumpster fire, they hire two people to rebuild it. It is completely unreasonable to think that someone like Gunn was going to come in and continue a universe that was destroyed by WB, but was already on the path to failure with Snyder. Look at BvS, people. LOOK AT IT. It’s the whole reason WB started getting too involved in the first place.
There was only one way to do this and that was from the ground up. They have the perfect movie to reset everything in The Flash as well. There was no saving the Snyderverse and it wouldn’t have been something worth saving anyways. It was already beginning to nosedive ON THE SECOND MOVIE.
Warner Brothers ruined the DCU not James Gunn. They did a horrible job with Justice League. Flash is not the flash. Black hair, acts like a kid. He was a CSI science wiz, not some goofy spin off of spider man. DCU was having problems before James Gun. Shazam teased Superman, Black Adam teased Super Man. They are so behind, Flash Point might be re titled Flash Back. Why would we punish myself from watching Guardians of the Galaxy?
No! The two are completely unrelated why would I not see a mcu movie because of this idiot. The man he’s upset about is making a DIFFERENT movie. This is REDICULOUS.
ok just to set the record straight on the whole superman thing, it’s not about his physical weaknesses. It’s about a man with the power to do anything striving for good and battling hubris. What’s admirable is his ability to do good with the capability of so much evil that may seem right, and doing the right thing anyway. I’m no enemy really a Superman fan but tbh I thought this bit was obvious 😅
If you don’t care about Superman why are you running your mouth that’s the first question I would ask you Jay now to point out a fact it’s not one Tiny Stone it’s several variations of a mineral that was only found on Krypton they are different colors and have different effects not all or detrimental you clearly do not enjoy the Superman comic universe and therefore you’re not an Enthusiast so you obviously don’t know all that much about Superman so I don’t understand why you were even voicing an opinion except to troll in the comment section and make a lot of people angry so what I’m going to say is this well Superman isn’t indestructible he was killed by Doomsday for one there are multiple other superheroes who are as strong as Superman or as fast as Superman and who actually surpass Superman and various ways what makes Superman so super is his Humanity the fact that he will sacrifice himself for the greater good of even one life a life form that by all human standards does not equal his own but then I guess that sentiments lost on someone who’s sole purpose in the comment section is dark grievances so I say to you title off to Twitter somewhere there’s a bridge missing its troll
FFS, gunns actions now ( whether you like them or not) have nothing to do with guardians movie. Grow up entitled snowflakes. Crying when things don’t go your way is supposed to end when you’re 5.
I won’t be watching any more DC work trash far as that goes I’m going to be watching any more Marvel garbage either to be quite Frank about it all these people injecting their personal beliefs into a story that is shared by all is disgusting and it’s pathetic and it is not in the spirit of the individuals who created these beloved characters or universes and to be honest no one cares about a young Superman. Not one person that I have heard or know wants to see a big screen adaptation of Smallville Smallville was great in its time as it was and it launched the careers of a few people but to be honest with you after several seasons of Smallville not really interested what are the fans of Superman and America want is a return to something recognizable we want Superman to be Superman not to be some injected hormonally challenged teenager who can’t decide whether they want to be a boy or a girl today we want Superman to be Superman we want Superman with the American values that made him who he was he was raised on a real farm with regular American values and that’s what made Superman awesome everyone’s sick of this woke canceled culture bull crap you’re destroying the stuff that we grew up loving you’re wrecking our nostalgia and we’re done with that we should rise against you keep our wallets in our back pockets our debit cards in our wallets and let you and the only way you won’t fail is if you get an injection of dirty Washington money through your CIA handlers because this is a stop being ran against our people and our country by people who seek to destroy us from within what should do is sell off all the stock in these companies that practice all this woke ideology and let you collapse or people with enough money buy all the stock until you own 51% of these companies and then fire all these people with no severance then pull their internal slack messages and expose them so that they can’t get work anywhere due to them what they’re doing to us after we expose them then we can push them out it’s called a clean sweep it’s kind of like a colon cleanse you just strain really hard until there’s nothing bad left inside all these people that are ruining all these things that is spouse American values kind of makes me wonder whose values they’re pushing sort of seems like China’s values to me I mean people are still going to Disney World and still spending money on Disney stuff even though they know Disney literally suppressed the black actor who played Finn on the cover art and poster art for Star Wars even though Finn was one of if not the best character in the movie to be honest with you I was only able to stomach the first movie Finn was the best character in the whole damn movie he was the character I hope would wind up with the lightsaber and being the Jedi but no it got forked over to a Mary Sue who was garbage whose sole purpose was to destroy the inherent Legacy of Star Wars simply because it did what movies and TV and media and everything else at that time did reflect that eras social values it don’t mean you have to agree with it but if that’s what your focused on I bet you have huge college debt because you probably went to school for gender studies or critical race Theory which I don’t understand all you critical race theorists because y’all should be the first people pissed off at Disney over them suppressing a black man just to sell tickets and movies in a foreign country but hey maybe that’s just my American values showing through again dirty filthy American I am expecting people making movies in my country to a spouse my country’s values rather than a spousing the values of a nation state that locks its people inside buildings and then burns them because of their zero covid policy the same country that during the beginning of the pandemic was dragging living people outside of hospitals zipped in body bags tossing them into an incinerator in the parking lot of the building and burning them alive but hey that’s who we’re making movies for right Disney
Henry Cavill isn’t bad, but Christopher Reeves was the best Superman ever. It’s really hard for me to accept anyone else in his role. I grew up with Reeves Superman and he will remain the best forever ❤️. I can’t be the only one who feels this way.
I could care less about the DCPEEU and what they do with their heroes. MARVEL has passed that sinking ship, so good riddance to bad rubbish. I am MARVEL all the way and can’t wait for GOTG v.3.
OMG why can’t we have peace in the world but yet people have to find something to cry about. First it’s the changing of the name of the Washington redskins because that jack ass Obama said it should happen to removing the Indian on the butter now this. Just be happy that they’re still movies we can still watch to get us away from this bs. What’s next, the avatar movie should not have blue people but more plaid get a life losers
I see we have mindless robot people in the house. Yes there is a change in the direction WB/DC is taking is it a good thing we do not know let’s wait and see. I can’t say I enjoy movies about one here over and over and again DC has so many characters to add to a line up ,and yes GOTG characters like other marvel movie are changing why hate on it ? Again people I think siperman,wonder woman, and other will come back in some form
Just WOW! Seems like everybody got their panties in a twist. Hollywood is Hollywood. They’re going to do what they want no matter what. Either go with it or not. There are a lot of things I’m not happy with with the DC and Marvel industry but I’m not going to sit here and boohoo about it like a bunch of 5th graders.
I for one love them all. I don’t sit there and nitpick and point out all the little indifferences and things they should change. I do kind of agree about the guardians of the Galaxy Christmas thing. It was a little weird. But I absolutely love those movies. They make me laugh my butt off. Chris Pratt is hilarious.. so with that being said I hope you guys all have a wonderful day and find something better to do with your time. Merry Christmas, Feliz Navidad or whatever makes your boat float. Peace out 😁
“I don’t like this decision so I’m going to boycott something!” I’ve never seen so many adult temper tantrums in my life. I love Henry Cavill too, but the last 10 years of DC films are mediocre at best. Grow. Up. wjen will people stop acting like 3 year olds whenever a decision or opinion isn’t completely aligned with your wants or beliefs? Ridiculous.
I’m 64 yrs old, an has grown up with Marvel an DC. I’ve watch the super hero’s transform from comic to television. With the many many different actor as Superman, Batman, Spiderman, an many other, the studio’s have finally got the right actors to play the roles. Other then Christopher Reeves. Henry Cavill is the best Superman ever in my opinion. Mr Gunn why are you trying to fix something that’s not broken. We are really tired of all the different Superheroes.
First Off, leave Marvel out of DC/WB mess with James Gunn. Why? because Gunn chose violence, he chose anger instead of the choice of finishing off what was already established with Gal Gadot, Henry, Aquaman then using Flash/Flashpoint to reset the DC universe to his liking. So you avoid this backlash and everyone gets what they want. Boycott DC, leave Marvel alone. I know I’m done with DC, good luck to you DC fans because I smell flops coming and I’ll be laughing. DC will never compete with Marvel.
Actors and roles get recast all the time, children. Just like in sports, getting fired is part of the biz people signed up for. See the movie, don’t see the movie, but boycotting won’t change anything.
We love guardians of the galaxy, but it took ppl long enough to get over Christopher Reeves an to except Henry Cavil as superman an now we do y’all would be fools to replace Henry Cavil.
So DC fans want Marvel fans to boycott a Marvel movie (with a genius comic action director) so they’ll fire the DC director (the same genius)? Did I get that right?
I never have cared for the DC univers I HAVE been very disappointed in all of the phase 4 marvel movies and streaming shows I am also sick of the woke bs in the movies
No, this isn’t going to affect GotG 3. The only people who will attempt to boycott(by not going to watch) GotG 3 are Henry Cavill fans, and most if not all of them don’t watch Marvel anyways. Empty threats.
Boycotting GotG3 to spite James Gunn is just ludicrous. The movie has already been sealed for release (meaning completed & edited) and Gunn has been paid in full for his work (producers/directors DON’T receive royalties).
Therefore, boycotting a franchise film because of something the writer/director/producer does to ANOTHER franchise AFTER leaving Marvel, is a pitiful cry for attention that is NOT worthy of a TRUE movie lover.
Superman is DC and Warner Brothers where as the Guardians of the Galaxy are Marvel and Disney. Therefore, one has absolutely nothing to do with the other.
Well. I loved the first Guardians of the Galaxy films. But to me the Gunn’s suicide squad was any better than the first movie. I not sure he is the answer to DCU movie problems.
I’m not an expert on DC, Marvel or any other comics. However, I do know that the original comics created the canon of each characters history and basis of existence. So why are so many people arguing about Superman and Kryptonite? Do you hear yourselves? I think Henry is one of the most talented actors of the superhero and fantasy genre. Carbon, Man of Steel and The Witcher… All top notch. It was a long held belief that every supe had at least one weakness. It was a matter of it being revealed. Do you not want to watch and enjoy these movies? Sounds like a bunch of entitled poopy pants toddlers who always got their way and then went to go work as Twotterphiles. Welcome to the real world, you sniveling little twots!!! Wimpy-ass pricks.
So everyone is mad cuz of a change in Superman?? But how many times has Batman changed?!?!?! It’s OK Marvel movie r better anyways and always have been🤷♀️🤷♀️
I boycotted dc movies long back when they replaced christian bale as batman… I instead watch dc movies through pirated sites… Hurt them where it hurts the most ;p
Honestly i love guardians of the galaxy way too much to boycott it over some dude firing the old superman (who i dont even care for in the first place). If you wana boycott the superman movies go ahead but why mess with a great series like guardians? I always want as many people supporting good entertainment as possible in hopes that there will be more. Ill never get tired of them lovable psychos
I’m with you! And also, what sense does it make to boycott Guardians, a Marvel asset, over trouble at the DC house? The whole thing has me scratching my head
I will still see Guardians Of The Galaxy 3. I was never a fan of Henry Cavels Surperman. I will always only recognize Christopher Reeves as the best Superman ever ❤️!
I can guarantee 99% of the Twitter chumps saying to “boycott” GoG3 have never been laid. I like the MCU movies and DC movies just as much as the next guy, but
If you’re big moment in life is the time you got so passionate that you’re legit trying to start a revolution ….. about a make believe flying alien in spandex based on a childrens book…. I can assure you that you will no longer feel that strongly about it if you had boobs in your face.
And you can switch Boobs out with whatever body part and whatever gender applies to your situation. I just said boobs because I had a pair hitting me in the face like 5 minutes ago.
You know Cavil is probably making more money from his new Warhammer series that he is making that he was probably going to get from Superman anyway? Leaving DC was a good thing for him.
What DC did to Henry Cavill is absolutely wrong. Their decision to change actor after he was previewed at the end credits of Black Adam is unbelievable. I will band all future DC movies for myself and family. And encourage others to do so as well.
I will not boycott GotG 3!!!
James Gunn is a brilliant director but terrible CEO..
Boycotting would punish MCU… Think who would be harmed by a boycott.
This is Gunn’s final MCU project so he can watch his successful franchise soar while DC burns to the ground.
He has nothing to build on at DC and he is not Kevin Feige… Good luck with that…
Henry did good as Superman and while he loved it. Let someone else take on. You don’t see people fussing on the Batman role. He can use his talents elsewhere and probably succeed more. Never know if he may be asked back. I say stop whining and acting like you are spoon fed.
Oh come on!
Really? Boycott GOTG3? We are so lucky to live in world where this art even exists. Let alone studios willing to invest billions of dollars on what are in truth comics. Just saying chill a bit ok?
I’ve followed the MCU from the first film, I will not boycott any Marvel movies. DC movies have zero effect on my movie going choices. DC movies are awful.
Marvel movies work because they always got the same actors back for each movie. Ironman was always Robert Downey Jr, Captain America was always Chris Evans, etc. DC could learn a thing or two from that formula. It’s pathetic to get rid of Henry Cavill. He is Superman now. It’s almost like DC wants to fail and is sabotaging itself. I personally will not boycott GOTG3 though. I’m never a fan of boycotts. You just end up missing out on stuff.
I’m not boycotting. James Gunn has brought NOTHING but perfection to the screen with Gaurdians and Suicide Squad. His Kingdom Come movie if he decides to do that will be perfect as well, and so will his recasting of supes.
No worries about it affecting me, as far as seeing the new marvel movie. Hadn’t planned on seeing but anyway. The last few marvel movies have all been predictable turds. Either way, as it turns out, I’m not that invested in superhero movies, to let them influence my day today life. honestly, the only people who should care that much to let it affect their lives, are the ones who have to get a ride to the theater because they just got their learner’s permit.
I will not boycott Guardian 3 simply because I have been waiting for it. With that said I will not go and see another Superman. I personally love Calvin plus I’m tired of the movie franchises replacing actors as well as actresses just because the have gotten older.
Cavill or anyone being fired is just a part of literally any job, plus with information regarding wildly inappropriate workplace behavior and the aggressive misogyny, it seems much deserved. The boycott is incredibly childish and unecessary in every context imo. Hope Gunn continues without issue in the future.
How ever will Marvel’s historically triumphant box office take survive without the patronage of all the Snyderverse fans? “There are t̶h̶o̶u̶s̶a̶n̶d̶s̶ dozens of us! DOZENS!”
Boycotting a movie because the director who has the enormous task ahead of spearheading a new iteration of a notoriously problematic franchise with some of the most ruthless “fans” would rather start with a clean slate than try and put pearls on that piggy and constantly have his work forever tethered and compared to the blunders of the past instead of being adults and realizing your precious movie universe isn’t going to get jealous if you let yourself get excited to see what a brilliant director can do with a fresh set of colors.
I liked Cavill as Superman. He looked the part and I’m sure he would be able to portray Superman perfectly if they had ever let him.
It sucks that the snyderverse wrote Sups as a petulant demigod who lets everyone down, and then comes back “surprisingly” to defeat everything almost on a whim in the third act, instead of as a good hearted and optimistic hero who cannot understand the darkness people hold in their hearts and believes in humanity far more than our consistently poor track record deserves.
I would have loved to see Henry portray a well written Superman who is good natured to just beyond a fault instead of being given scripts where he had to be some weirdly brooding and reluctant “SuperBatman” type anti-hero as he was made to portray.
Sad to see you go before you could truly shine as the Sups I’m sure you could be, Henry. Best to you in all your future works!
Maybe it’s because Henry Cavill has already been cast as the new James Bond ? , and his schedule didn’t fit in with what James Gunn wanted , so fired him
I’m not boycotting anything because I’m not a crybaby fan boy. I’m excited to see what’s coming next because Henry Cavill is a boring jar of mayonnaise. All these whiny “fans” can sit around and cry all day long but guess what? James Gunn is still going to cash his check. Get over it.
The thing I have a problem with isn’t Henry carville as Superman it’s how they tried to make Black Adam and anti-hero like Deadpool when Black Adam killed Shazam a little boy and never show the amount of remorse so he can’t be an antihero the premise of an anti-hero is a hero who kills but still feels morality in the peacekeeper John Cena struggles with morality when he’s told to kill a mother and children and he can’t do it you see that’s an anti-hero Black Adam is just a villain not a hero
I don’t know why there is hate for super man. They can still write stories for the character. In the comics of the past (I’m not sure about now I don’t read them) they had a lot of depth and had a Superman that was as very vulnerable emotionally and physically to many elements in the stories. Very r well rounded, interesting and developed Superman character. Modern film makers need to go to those comics for inspiration. We can reinvent Superman movies and make them more relatable and deep. But I’ve always seen Superman movies as enjoyable and relatable though. Especially the Christopher reeves movies. They were fun. Plus Henry Cavill is the best looking Superman of our era. Besides Christopher reeves. It’s a shame they are not using him.
Idk how this turned into a bash superman thread but I’ll join that bandwagon…in his defense 😆
U dont have to like him or respect him but please understand him:
1. He’s ONLY powerful because of the yellow sun which means naturally Kryptonians weren’t “super human” strong…n other stars like red n blue causes different powers to present
2. He has plenty weaknesses given he’s almost always bested by a human Lex Luthor via some creative manipulation with kryptonite
3. He’s a fictional character whose powers are no more outlandish than any other “super hero”…so can we discuss the guardian boycott now
Oh yeah
4. I saw someon attacking millennials…umm i was bornt in 1987 dont group me with them 95 bornt ppl whose influences were very different n thus views are oftentimes very different. Now seriously can we talk about the guardians boycott😆
I appreciate Dwayne Johnson supporting a fellow actor’s career and fans wanting to keep Henry Cavil as Superman but I don’t think we should make the actors and crew of Guardians suffer for the decision. Boycott new superman movies. Makes more sense.
The comments are hilarious. Are these folks mature enough to just move on? They could show the January 6th committee how that works before they wipe out any more taxpayer money.
I sure as hell will NOT boycott GoG v.3 over some DC stuff… the universe is wac anyways, the only thing keeping it alive was the actors. Let it reboot, shut up have a coke and a smile.. p.s. no real Marvel fan would boycott
“Will the recasting of Superman make you skip Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3?”
No it has no affect on me seeing GotGv3 at all. And I will go see the new Superman if or when it comes out no matter who is playing Supeman.
Because I go to enjoy movies. Not make them my life. I have seen so many Supermen in my life. They all had thier own angle on the character. Sure I like one over the other but I am not going to go running home crying about it.
With all the issues in the world right now. Not going to a movie because of another movie? That just us not the actions of a true adult.
Why am I not surprised? For all these people saying that Superman is boring not interesting. We live in a society where we want our superheroes to be complex more relatable and forget the fact that they are superheroes!! Superman is indestructible but that’s what makes him super he is literally the definition of a superhero. Hawkeye is not a superhero that man is not a superhero!! If I’m the last person left on Earth who loves Superman for being virtuous trustworthy and one of the last good guys left in the world of superheroes then so be it. You all suck and disgust me but what can I say this is a sign of the times we hate what is good and love what is bad.
What goes on in DC should have nothing to do with this movie! Grow up people!! You know what…just don’t show up at movie premiere night, might as well get some good seats this time around then….better for me….
Listen well….ur voice won’t be heard….and DC world….they obviously don’t care about yall.
And nothing yall do or post will change that ….you’re wasting your time.
What an absolute waste of energy! Not enough ppl will actually boycott the movie to make any difference at all. And why would you? Who cares even if they do. Maybe 15 ppl total will participate in the boycott?
Ppl just do not stick together in order to pull off anything like a boycott.
Even if, by some miracle, there were a significant amount of ppl whom participated, what difference would it ultimately make anyway? Hollywood has made some gigantic flops, which wasted countless millions of dollars, and no one cares. At the end of the day, they have some seriously deep pockets.
Regardless of any of that….. last time i checked in with Henry, he didn’t really care all that much about any of you. You think he’s going to forego his 64 ounce slurpy, and boycott 7-11 because one of you got canned for rocking the slurpy machine? Probably not.
Is this the 1st time theyve replaced, superman, batman, the hulk, spiderman etc etc
Maybe most of you should focus your attention and energy on doing something about uncle sam continuing to infringe on, and take away your rights as Americans.
The things that are important to the people in this country anymore have become seriously laughable, and at the same time, extremely disappointing.
This country has become pathetic. It’s dominated by sheep. Ultra-sensitive, petty, freeloading, selfish, grossly obese, lazy, cowardly, dependent, entitled, useless TURDS! It is most definitely, an enormous insult, to the average turd, to be compared to those of whom i reference.
You know who you are….floating aimlessly about your porcelain pool. Blaming everyone and anything for any problems you experience. Waiting for your next stimulus check. Expecting the government to pay your student loans. Get a job and pay your debt! Oh my god, it’s just so unfair, i bought a house, and now they expect me to pay for it. I should get a bail out.
Reality TV dominates programming because the sheep failing to live their own lives, live vicariously through others.
Social media, your 2000 facebook friends, your gaming profile as a kickass soldier or whatever, gives you a feeling of success.
Stop blaming everyone for your failures. Walk out the door and go do something with your life. Make it happen!
Stop sitting around waiting for someone to give you something. Stop blowing your money on scratch-offs and powerball tickets and the 1000 other useless things you waste money on.
Success in life takes effort. You get out what you put in.
Ahhh, forget it…Superman is way more important than anything else. You go out there and show them what happens when they mess with your good buddy Henry.
Well to fair James Gunn’s ass shoulda been booted out the door for those tweets and comments from years back and instead of getting the boot he got a promotion in DC gosh help us and the future of DC film universe if he is in charge, considering how Guardians of the Galaxy films turned out makes me worry for future of the DC films if those are anything to go by, those and Endgame.
Comments for Fans Declare ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’ Boycott After Drastic Change Shatters Franchise
Emily
I don’t care about Henry Cavil, Superman is stupid and boring.
Steve
You couldn’t sound more like a clueless millenial if you tried.
J
She’s not wrong, though. A freshman creative writing student can tell you that interesting characters have strengths and weaknesses. Superman is literally indestructible except for one specific rock that isn’t even found on planet earth. That is, by almost any teacher’s rubric, stupid and boring.
Grant
Superman is vulnerable to magic, & the rock is found on earth, seems like it’s everywhere.
Soencer
What doesn’t make sense about Superman is why a piece of rock from his home planet could kill him. I could understand it making him mortal since he was mortal while living on his home planet, but not it virtually killing him.
Michael
My idea is that he is so used to the power of the sun enhancing him that his body can not adapt to being mortal so the strain on his body morphing back is strong enough to kill him

I grew up watcjing DC and Marvel cartoons and wished they would some day make a live action movies about the cartoon series. I had to wait a long time. An now that they’re making them it has to be ruined by spoiled little brats that can’t get there way. What James gunn has done with every movie that he’s been a part of DC or Marvel has been on point. I always imagined what if he had Kevin Fiege position. An now that he has that same position in DC, I think DC is in the best of hands. DC will now have a timeline and everymovie will be build up for next one coming up. An DC is more violent then Marvel, I hope they don’t turn it into PG 13 movies like Marvel movies. An it looks like Henry Cavill had been working on get a role in Warhammer, and is been his game as a child so I sure he’s good with the departure. Spoil little fans get over it.
Ed
You have been watching PG-13 movies this whole time; Man of Steel, The Batman, Dawn of Justice, Justice League, Wonder Woman[1 and 2], Aquaman, Shazam, Suicide Squad, even all 3 films of the Bale trilogy are all PG-13…. Only The Suicide Squad and that awful Joker film are R-rated.
The model will change… Gunn has to change it. DC realizes their first model wasn’t working and that’s why they brought Gunn on board. But, don’t expect the change to be that they get darker and everything becomes R-rated. It’s
a business and that model will fail to produce big money because it will limit the target audience.
So, expect the tone to get lighter, expect running jokes, expect them to continue making PG-13 films as they always have. But, most importantly, expect the films to tie in to one a other and feel more intertwined with fewer plotholes.
A Ten Year plan!
Fatedoc
WRONG. There is an R version of Justice League. Nitwit
Fidgets808
Awful Joker film? Hahahaha. You’re a troll for sure!
Sam
I agree. With everything you said , I’m 47 and yep whinny brats everything you said I wanted to say to a lot of these brats
J W
The point of comics is for kids and kids will rewatch movies, fixate on them and buy the toys. If you make the movies too “violent” kids won’t see them and youblose the merch.
James
As you whine about whiney brats…
CancelYourself
Yeah you know you could have made a argument had you not been the spoiled child yourself. Don’t tell people how to feel about something, especially when it has to do with pop culture icons such as Superman. Is DC better off for having Gunn probably.. Do i want to throat punch him if he’s the reason why he isn’t Superman anymore? Absolutely! Facts I only watched the hot garbage that is DC movies just to see him and him only. Superman wasn’t even on life support before Henry stepped in on Man Of Steel he was full blown dead. He portrayed the character so well in Man Of Steel it’s just him now. Now i gotta wonder if we lost Geralt for nothing now to? Also a Character he nailed so well the shoes simply can’t be filled now. So to end the rant here this is the thoughts of this “spoiled person”. Who are you to tell me otherwise!!?? I think Gunn screwed the pooch here cause I don’t want to see another Superman and clearly other people don’t either (a LOT of others).
BiPolarChica
I’m 43 and I agree. Not since Christopher Reeves has there been a superman I have cared to watch. Until Cavill. Saying he is ok with the AX is B.S. He didn’t just leave the witcher part for his health. He thought he had a superman movie/part coming up. Yet the little felony Flash Ezra is still going strong…why is he still in DC? Great Role Model for the kitties…But they are they/them…Fk that!!!
Chris Saunders
agreed
BiPolarChica
But as I said you cancelyourself are 100% correct IMHO.
Cor Star
I wholeheartedly agree with you! Silly people think they know what’s going on behind the scenes better than the ones actually behind them LOL and they also feel like they know how to create movies better than the professionals and it’s beyond ridiculous! I will surely be watching anything that Gunn puts out.. I’m not missing it just because a fan doesn’t agree with every little creative decision that Gunn has made in creating these movies. I’m sure Cavill is fine and honestly he probably isn’t even worried about it like these people are. For all they know he could be wanting to steer his career in another direction and they decided to put him in a end scene just for memories sake. All I know is that I truly know nothing about why they chose to make the decision to switch actors but I have faith that Gunn knows what he is doing and has made the proper decision for the movie and everyone involved. I don’t understand why so many people would miss possibly the most incredible movies just on a hunch that they have and how the feel – SMH on a MF wall! Why can’t people just decide not to watch a movie because it actually sucks rather than not watching a movie because their feelings were hurt. Alas, I guess at the end of the day they will be the bozos missing out and I will be sitting in a theater munching on popcorn and enjoying tf out of a nostalgic yet modern and exciting Marvel/Gunn masterpiece. I love my SciFi and Fantasy movies far too much to allow a guy who is just butthurt to ruin it for me! Anyways.. like I said I agree with this last comment and think this is just petty bratty behavior on the instigators part.
Me
Dude you making a comment or writing a novel?
Jess
Someone forgot to put the baby to bed. Poor guy is grumpy.
Monie
Thank you so much. I think he is the best Superman since Christopher Reeve and he plays the part and makes a believable. All of these people who have never picked up a comic book in their lives are trying to tell other people who have been following them for 4 years or more how it’s supposed to go. I think people really need to just enjoy the movie and mind their business and not try to have a part in every movie TV show actors lives. Get your own life
rh68
Highly radioactive to him. Doesn’t bother us like one of our radioactive stones will kill us.
FrecklesUSA
I like this one.
Matt
Well it a radioactive pieces of his planet that only effect him in a harmful way and gives humans powers
Laurent
Kryptonite are pieces of Kypton’s core, which Kryptinianas harvested for energy to the point the core became unstable, resulting in the planet’s destruction.
Dean
It was irradiated due to the destruction of the plant. It’s not just a rock, it’s literally poison.
Michael Mikei
He was born under a RED SUN, Earth has a YELLOW SUN which changed his biology at the molecular level.
Chris
It’s called radiation. That is why it can kill him. It makes sense that if the radiation from our sun can give him super powers, something that is completely ridiculous, that it can make a rock from his world into something that is deadly to him.
Nash
Rely. Stand next to uranium and see what it does to you. The rock has properties that are deadly to his physiology. Just like lead or other minerals here are to us.
Christian
The yellow sun gives superman his powers. The krytonite kills him because on his planet the sun was different. The radiation from our son when combined with kryptonite kills him.
fsociety
Couldnt agree more, it makes no sense it would kill him.
Eric
Okay then why does he have adverse reactions to think four different kinds of kryptonite red green orange and yellow I know red kryptonite makes them psychotic and deranged green makes them weak and could kill them thank yellow makes him lose his mind and able to be controlled
Ed
Blue kryptonite Makes him Mortal when in his presents and exposure to gold kryptonite makes him human permanently.
There are more types of kryptonite in DC than there are lantern organizations.
Kent
It’s called the molecular structure of the yellow sun remember Krypton had a red Sun…..
C
It’s the equivalent to radioactive material to him its not just some rock if I remember correctly its found towards the core of his planet
Craig
When the planet blew up, it became radioactive and deadly to kryptonians
DJ
It’s because it is radiated that’s why it hurts him
Brian
The rock doesn’t kill him the specific radiation from the rock kills him. Get a clue or at least read a few of the comics before bashing it…
T El
The prevailing theory in geekdom is that kryptonite can kill Superman because it disrupts his solar panel-like energy absorption. Without energy from the Sun, he weakens and eventually dies. Though kryptonite is a fictional mineral, the way it interferes makes sense
B
It was irradiated during the destruction of his home world, it’s that radiation that hurts, and can kill him.
Ben Marcum
Really? Does it make sense that a radioactive rock (uranium) can kill humans? You think Kryptonite was a common rock just lying around on the ground like the common rocks you see around you? It was in mineral deposits deep underground released when the planet was destroyed
Anthony
It’s not just some random rock it’s radioactive.
Kind of like people getting weaker and eventually dying when exposed to a bunch of uranium or polonium or plutonium etc.
Todd R Hudson
It will only kill him if its ingested plus its affected by our yellow sun like he is
Dale
Kryptonite or The Rock as you call it is radio active. On one story lex keep a rock of it on his pocket and over time it gives him cancer. it’s possible the same phenomenon that makes him super on earth increases his vulnerability to that radiation. However it’s just a comic book so there is no true right or wrong answer.
Winston
It’s like the inhibitor that neutralizes powers. It’s a ass-pull.
Teri
The rock from his home planet is toxic to him, because it was irradiated when the planet blew up. That is why it makes him vulnerable.
Glen
The rock doesn’t kill him, it takes away his power allowing others to kill him.
Joe
Plutonium is from our planet and it kills us.
Xavier Michaels
Krptonite can’t kill him…it weakens him with it’s radiation. He is allergic to it because of where he came from. Others can kill him when it weakemshim. It’s extremely simple. Different types of kryptonite effect him in different ways…different allergic reactions. He is also not invulnerable despite whether he has kryptonite infront of him or not.
Jay
It can kill him because the rock is giving off radiation if our bodies are exposed to Radiation we can die if the levels are lethal the level of radiation that is coming off of kryptonite is high enough to kill any kryptonian
Jay
All superheroes have the same weakness no matter the level of power that they have granted Superman is the most powerful being on the planet very little can physically hurt him but his vulnerability is that he cares for humanity as well as the ones he loves personally and his enemies always use that against him
Baracksamson
It was irradiated by the planet’s explosion. The radiation is what can kill him.
Chico
It’s not plain and simply just a rock from his own planet. It’s a completely different mineral that he is no longer adjusted to. Same thing as the way he was normal on Krypton but on Earth he was unusually close to the sun and absorbing it’s rays is what energized him and made him the being the world knows. And at the same time our dramatically opposite atmosphere radiated partial shards of Krypton making them harmful to his newly
aquired physiology.
Danny lewis
Earth’s yellow sun is what gives superman his powers, at the same time the sun makes peices of his planet toxic to kryptonians
Session85
The pieces of crypton that fell to earth were radioactive by cryptonian standard due to whatever caused the explosion of the planet….. I say whatever because I don’t remember the cause of the explosion
Jere Jeremy Surgeon
Because when his planet exploded the remnants were irradiated from the sun that went supernova. The reason they lived mortal lives on their planet was because of the radiation from their sun. It’s in the comics and lore. We get atan from our sun but if you was standing on venus with no protection you would be vaporized
Sam
It doesn’t kill him. It basically does make him mortal. The ability to inflict pain
Gaspard Brumaire
Superman is the greatest hero of all time, every character has a weakness, but he is special, if u love marvel and DC u would understand how precious superman is the same as Batman, or wonder woman.
R
It makes him weak and sick. There’s literally dozens of types of “rocks” on earth that will do the same to you right now
Bomer
Ever heard of poison? Can’t that kill you? How come something from YOUR home planet can kill you, but it doesn’t make sense for a character in a story?
Tyler
Use your brain if you hav3 one… there’s lots of stuff from earth that could kill you….soo why is it weird there’s stuff from his planet that could do the same? Lol give your head a shake
James
It doesn’t kill him…it makes him normal.
Dana
Because our gravity is a lot lighter than krypton and he’s spent his entire life here. His planets gravity can crush him without getting used to it. Like divers coming up too fast get the bends.
Rick
I believe kryptonite is radioactive and not ordinary rock
Luke
It’s the sudden change in his physiology, our yellow sun gives him his powers so think of him like a living machine running off of solar energy, take away that solar energy or block that energy by using something that blocks yellow sun radiation (Kryptonite, red sun energy) and supes is drained of his strength, which would be physically jarring as he is being sapped of his strength
Balbir
It does. Not kill him, it’s stated many times it just takes away all his power, and since he is habituated having these powers he feels extremely weak…. What’s not to understand, it never killed him untill or unless it is used as bullet or spear to penetrate
Zoltan
Kryptonite is radioactive meteorite from his home planet. Like us humans getting too close to radioactive material, it can hurt us and/or kill us too.
Ryan
What doesn’t make sense about Soencer is why a piece of metal from his home planet could kill him. I could understand it making him mortal since he was mortal while living on his home planet, but not it virtually killing him. After all, Radium seems like a harmless little piece of material.
DW
Don’t we have poisonous things on our planet that kill us?
Nate
Kryptonite isnt just a rock from his home planet, it is pieces of his home planet irradiated by the explosion of their red sun. So it not only weakens him to human levels, it is radiologically toxic to him.
Billy
And his love for his girlfriend makes him the most vulnerable
Jeremy
Was going to say the same thing. For being a rock from outer space it sure seems like everyone has it.
Amren
Rock from outer space that crash landed in earth. How much more ignorant could you be
Grant2
Yes he’s indestructible, but the people around him are not. You are so shallow.
Paul Hughes
Superman got killed by a Gunn!
Michael
Superman is literally part of American culture and heritage. Without Superman, there would have been no superhero ANYTHING, or any 20th Century comic book industry. So quit sounding like a know-nothing.
Larry
Exactly! SMH. They have no clue. He’s not indestructible
WaveGof
Why comment back to people who think they know writing so superman being strong automatically means he’s boring they obviously haven’t read none of superman just look at all-star superman one of the best character study pieces ever Superman coming to terms with cancer
KIM
Would never skip something in the MCU just because DC has NOT been good since the Saturday morning cartoons of the 70s
Diane
You do realize this is fantasy “right”?
Grammy
I’m not a comic book fan but love movies. I love the MCU cuz even with 8 spiderman movies in 3 series they never reworked anything to death. DC keeps going over the same material with their big IPs…Superman and Batman. Now we dump a solid superman to go over his younger years…AGAIN. Not that excited about. But not boycotting MCU’s GOTG3.
Joseph
Thank you for saying that. People need to do their research better. Not too mention DC came before Marvel and still doesn’t get the attention or proper love it’s owed.
Jill
Cavill or no one. He has played the best Superman ever. If it isn’t broken then why the hell try to fix it!!!!
kevins
Black magic. An he gets his ass kicked quite a bit.
Saša
I have some cryptonite left in my fridge though, if you want it
Lad
Not only kriptonite but he is also susceptible to magic
Warborg
Since you don’t even seem to really know much about the subject, it kind of invalidates your opinion on it.
Christian
I love how people who have never followed comics until the marvel movies think they are experts. Watching marvel movies does not make you a comic book fan
Brd
Seriously get a life expert. My brain just rotted while reading this. And yes superman is boring get over it
Chasing fools
Superman is boring bc the network are writing that way. Henry is a great image for Superman but the management isn’t concentrating on his depth. Lets demand more of them rather than act like children and blame the victim.
Paul Hughes
They are mostly kids/teenagers/man-child
Marvel full of jokes because they crave the REAL JOKER!
William
All fictional characters are indestructible… that’s why they usually get resurrected. It’s about the struggle not the character. All of these characters have a struggle that exposes their humanity even Superman
D.C.
Many fictional characters are destructible and die. Have you ever seen The Wizard of Oz? Remember when the house landed on the witch and killed her? She definitely wasn’t resurrected.
CJ
The older superman’s weekness was also caring for people. Many villains usedthis.
Christian
One of the most iconic comics is the death of Superman.
Tammi
And there you have it folks. 1 out of 215 comments actually responds to the boycott issue, and then it’s totally ignored in favour of discussing superman’s strengths and weak eases, because true fans dare about the character, not the person playing them.
Just as well really, or people might have considered boycotting future cavill h films as retaliation for him leaving the Witcher series…..
And anyway, there are six months before gotg3 releases. Nobody will even remember planning to boycott it by then.
C
Superman is more entertaining as a villain.
Dean
Supman’s main vulnerability has always been the humans in his life he loves and cares for.
Kevin
More imaginative writers I deratand that Superman might be physically indestructible, but he’s not infinitely present, not is he all knowing. He’s also got a particular moral compass. Those are all weaknesses. But I’m glad you think physical power is everything, for some reason.
David
If you think that then you know nothing about his struggles. Could you imagine maintaining a relationship with anyone you love knowing that you can crush them into a paste if you aren’t always careful? Knowing that you will out live everyone you know by hundreds of years? And superman has been killed. Multiple times. And he is seemingly the last of his kind besides his cousin.
James
and any smart rich person can beat Superman. Batman proved that.
Christian
Batman is one of.the greatest minds in the history of dc. He is right up there with lex luthor whose many power is his intelligence. He has taken out se of the worst villains with some gadgets and his witts alone. No powers
Ray
Not as boring as this comment
Stephen
Kryptonite could be located in other parts of the galaxy or just be creative like Bruce Wayne was in Batman v Superman. C’mon people use your imaginations.
Char
ITS A MOVIE!!!!FOR GODS SAKE!
They’ve been entertaining us for decades!!!
Dustin
The original version of superman had no weakness but the man who did the radio show needed a day off. They made a weakness.
Dave
And magic, but they haven’t showcased that weakness hasn’t been brought up in a while.
C
And that’s only dependent on the version of superman they use, he gets even more boring when he becomes “immune” to his only weakness.
Heather
It’s nit about the writing, it’s about the story. I’m sorry that youre unable to understand the difference 🙁
Abbas
We are seriously debating over Superman here?. Its comics we are talking about even Marvel has some ridiculously strong characters way more powerful than superman, If you think superman is powerful lookup Sentry, Dr Manhattan, Silver Surfer, Galactus, Quantum Superman(Who’s not superman by any means just by name on parallel earth and held ultraman like an action figure)
What makes Superman special is not his powers or weakness but his story arc, his foes, character being older than any of us the amount of time and details invested into Superman
Superman is not just a comic character but an icon, If it weren’t for Superman you wouldn’t have Thanos today, Jim Starlin himself admitted that he was inspired by Darkseid so much that they decided to create a character like him so the created Thanos 3 years after Darkseid’s first appearance as a Superman foe , as for him being powerful what makes Superman unique is that he’s always facing foes much more stronger than him, the likes of Darkseid, Braniac, Doomsday
On the contrary I don’t care for Cavils return though, I think it was a right move by James Gunn opting for a change, fans while keep on whining, they did so too when Daniel Craig was cast as new Bond or when they saw Ruffalo instead of Norton for Hulk, casting Superman wont be easy though, since Reeves iconing portrayal but if they get it right DC while rise again, never liked Snyder bs only okay movie he pulled was Man of Steel even then the character was portrayed differently
Stephen
Actually, Superman has no defense against magic.
Dude
Think about it though. His body has adapted to earth’s atmosphere and mineral/chemical makeup. A radioactive rock from a foreign planet would probably f..ck most of us up. Watch the Andromeda Strain movie
Ben Marcum
What rock have you been living under? (Pun intended) Kryptonite is readily available on Earth and can even be synthesized. He is also vulnerable to magic and red solar energy spectrum. He can be depowered with red solar lamps. He can be injured or killed with laser type weapons that operate in that spectrum and harmed with kryptonite enhanced weapons and various alien weapons.
Ghettodude
He’s vulnerable to magic
Errrbitsh
Sooo mutants and space cowboys and spiderman all sound realistic lol.
Stewart
She’s very wrong. Billy Batson — aka Shazam Can kill Kal-El (Superman) and Black Adam. There’s a few others but these two are good for now, so no it’s not just a rock that you can’t find on earth…
Karlezeth
You obviously don’t understand the character. Even if you take away his powers, he’s still Superman. He also has a flat character arc, which can be frustrating for new and experienced writers alike.
Baja
Then how did lex luthor find it in a field????
Scott
You know he also has a weakness to magic right? That’s why doctor fate and zatanna always had one up on him.
Todd R Hudson
But its not his only weakness he can be mind controlled also magik can hurt him along with his mind
R
Bahahaha wow you really told everyone you have no idea what your talking about lol
John
I think superman’s character shines the strongest not when we explore his mostly non existent physical weaknesses but rather the fact that he has a very human mind.
Break his mind not his body
Daniel
You are incorrect Padawan, super man is weak to kyptonite and completely helpless to magic. He is only empowered near yellow suns and is one of the most inspirational characters of DCU. His story is very in depth. You’re also sounding like one of those people who like Batman too and think he her Binks was talented
Reynard
I respectfully disagree; next to Kryptonite, Superman ‘s greatest weakness is Lois Lane.
Dale
Not exactly true either. He’s vulnerable to magic among other things.
Donn
Not a fan of boycotting. It is a product of people who it doesn’t effect their own bank account. I tend to think of all the people who earn their paycheck when making the move. Like all the supporting staff. Not so much for the actors but all the other people.
Isaac
Superman does have strengths and weaknesses. Krypton ite is his most well known weakness but his greatest ‘weakness’ that his villains take advantage of is his compassion for all living creatures. Of course, what they don’t know is that it is also his greatest strength and what makes Superman really interesting. It’s not just his powers that define him, which is what his villains and fake fans who know basic information about Superman think. For all his godlike powers and his extraterrestrial nature, he is more human than most other humans (Lex Luthor etc.)
Roland
Didn’t know doomsday used kryptonite to mill superman. Didn’t know superman was weak to magic. Stick to marvel.
Chad
You’re wrong on every account.
Tony
Superman has many vulnerabilities! Some of them being the people he cares about. How do you hurt a man of steel? Harm the people of flesh around him. Good story writing could destroy an indestructible character.
AB
This is a fundamental misunderstanding of Superman and why the character has good writing
First, his villains ALL beat him first and he has to overcome them: sometimes with smarts alone so clearly he isn’t invincible or perfect, he’s even died before.
Finally, Superman is about home vs heritage, fitting in, finding your purpose in life, a story of how a God learns to adapt to live amongst men, to be part of a whole even if you’re different.
Try reading a comic book.
Tony
Kryptonyte red sun
Magic
Pepipapa
And magic and radiaton of red sun and who knows what else (depends on writer).
I am not a huge fan of Superman as I find boring as well, but Cavill was spot on for the role
JAMES
Well put!
Joe
Superman’s two greatest weakness are Lois and the people of earth. Without the love for humanity he would rule the planet. But it is still not a reason to boycott guardians of the Galaxy 3.
MF DOOM
you’re not right, you obviously don’t know enough about the character..
Neil
If that were true, the character wouldn’t be popular and certainly wouldn’t have endured for over 80 years. I think you probably realise that your statement flies in the face of that established and immutable fact.
KingStink69
Superman’s true weakness is his struggle with being all powerful, while trying to understand humanity.
Crow
A freshman creative writing student can also tell you that the best Superman stories aren’t the ones where he’s fighting physical forces. They’re when he has to deal with things he can’t stop. Such as the time when he absorbs too much solar radiation and is dying. He now has to grapple with spending his last days with Lois and his son or spend his days saving people.
But then you probably didn’t bother looking past the “Superman can’t be hurt” part to actually figure out how to write a good story.
Glen
Anything as strong as Superman can beat him. Doomsday, Darkseid, even Batman built a suit to fight Superman.
Victor
And has personal Vulnerabilities such as his love for people and his inability to Murder. Supes is more complex than people realize.
skillz
pay attention to supermans emotional struggles, and how with all that temptation of power he maintains a good character.
Zongo
And that is why Captain Marvel is also boring as hell
BDivine
Actually, kryptonite is a real rock on earth- first found in England
Julio
You’re absolutely incorrect in thinking that Superman’s only weakness is kryptonite. Additionally, the character of Superman is far more complex than I see you have warranted.
Braden
The fact that he’s indestructible doesn’t mean he doesn’t have any weaknesses. Sure he’s vulnerable to rocks and magic or whatever, but that’s not the point. The point is that despite his power he’s just like the rest of us, and almost more than that he’s good to a fault. His moral code is admirable, but it can’t be denied that it is a soft that can be exploited just like kryptonite and magic. He can’t always use his crazy power when that would mean the death of innocents. He needs to be more careful and responsible than any other hero.
jamie
Kryptonite can kill him and make him very weak easily. Zack Snyder is a terrible filmmaker and has no idea how to create a character that is remotely likable. Don’t confuse the newest movies with Superman as a character. Superman 1 and 2 by Richard Donner were excellent
mars
not every weakness had to be physical lmao.
Dan
Talk about having your head up your arse J
James
That freshman creative writing student doesn’t get Superman then
Jonathan Miller
The reasons the mcu and DC are flopping because they directors lack vision they don’t know how to channel their inner child who reads the comic like omg read a bunch of comics before u make a movie interview fans on what we want to see and make it happen
Greg
In the comics, Doomsday beat him to death.
John D
Let me, a person from Generation X, tell you why you are all barking up the wrong tree… Superman’s weakness is not anything Superman. It’s Clark Kent, and the relationship he has with others, which makes him vulnerable. And which the current film version of Superman films fails to explore.
If you watch the original 2 Superman’s with Christopher Reeves those stories delved into this very well and it’s why those movies were so entertaining.
This was also a problem with Superman Returns movie from about 15 years ago. Clark Kent was hardly even in that movie, and his relationship with other not explored at all.
If you want superman to be interesting, you ha e to put Clark on an equal level in the film as Superman. Which hasn’t been done in about 40 years.
Kevin
She is wrong as you both miss the point of the character. One which was actually revealed in the movies. The internal struggle of being nigh invulnerable and not succumbing to the lure of simply taking over because you can. Furthermore, it isn’t just a rock that isn’t even found on earth to which superman is vulnerable as there have been other non earth villains that pose a threat.
Barian
Superman’s biggest enemy, and the bulk of his more serious comic struggles are due to his inability to understand and anticipate the baser tendencies of mankind. Countless enemies get away with their criminal behavior through deceipt and maniacally planned misanthropy.
Lex didn’t always have a lunchbox of kryptonite in reserve, yet bested him many many times.
I would love to ever see Superman portayed on the big screen with that much faith in humanity despite of all the despicable acts we do in our most craven moments. But the film writers always ignorantly call for “green rocks” at the end of act 2 because they are ignorant of Superman’s far more crippling vulnerability; his unflappable conviction that humanity is as good as he believes.
Makes me sad thinking about how much we always seem to let him down. And sadder still that he will always give us more lattitude to continue to try.
There’s a far more thought provoking story to Superman that has so far not been tapped. One where he is still quick to smile, even when his eyes hold a vague sadness that he is always needed to save humanity from itself.
L
Very wrong it doesn’t take much to see Superman isn’t boring watch Superman TAS or read all star superman
Mike
Superman has weakness to magic.
KaiserMichael
And that just goes to show that you don’t read anything about Superman, just know his basic backstory, and are talking trash without understand all the facts.
John Sullivan
Superman has weaknesses though. Wtf are you talking about? 😂
Kord
So I see your knowledge of writing is at a freshman level. Interesting characters can be strong, look at Invincible and the god immortal Kirby. A good writer knows to focus on why Superman isn’t super because of his powers, but because he’s a super MAN who stands up for truth justice and the American way. Freaking kids
Stephen
she’s not wrong. you both are…
Catherine
Wonder woman had to beat Superman up at least three times.
2TonTone
Another millennial “J” Superman also possesses few weaknesses. kryptonite and red solar energy as well superman is still vulnerable to powerful psychics especially those with Telepathy and he’s vulnerable to pure magic.
John
That’s why good Superman stories are not about his powers. It’s about the inherent flaw of humans. For every power Superman has, he was raised a human. He lives, breathes and acts like one. He is a hero because he wants to be one. He wants to help people. He is a good person who would help as many as he can. That is the core of a Superman story. The fact that you don’t know this tells me more about your lack of Superman knowledge and good writing.
Aaron
He does have more weaknesses actually
Jjt
She’s not your right
Josh
As a freshman creative writing student, you’d be smart enough to know it takes real characters like Superman to be well rounded to stand the test of time. Challenge you to write something that will
stay in the zeitgeist for a century.
Ryan
Kryptonite didn’t kill Superman, Doomsday did.
Alexy
No, she is wrong. A freshman creative writing student would tellyou that because they dont know jack about writing hood and fleshed put characters.
Balbir
You Just lack perspective, Superman is not indestructible, he has more than one weakness, it’s his everyday struggle to keep his power in check, in opening doors, typing everyday stuff which is easy for us, he has to control himself all the time, it’s a story about a god living with humans, and he still has villains which can take him down and not with kryptonite, Brainiac, mongrel, lobo, parasite, doomsday never used kryptonite…
And still are worthy opponent .. i am sorry that your knowledge of Superman is only limited to the few movies you have watched and made up your mind, which is ignorant But if you had done your research you would not say this… Superman is not boring, he is misunderstood
LordKwll
Then the Hulk is also stops and boring because there isn’t even a rock. On this planet or otherwise.
Míke
Any published fiction writer will tell you the same. Superman’s creators had to create friends and kryptonite to make him vulnerable
JaFi
Both of you are missing the complexities of Superman. For instance, with all his power, he couldn’t save his father from dying in his arms. He has all this power but does not use it for evil, even though he could. Lincoln once said, most men perform under adversity, but if you really want to test a man’s character, give him power.
Tae
There’s characters just as OP as Sups in many ways yet ppl only complain when it’s sups. It’s no problem with being the strongest in the universe. The problem is the creators thinking earthlings can stop a damn near God level character. When they need to be producing more Villains on the same power scale if not stronger than sups. Let Superman protect the universe instead of just Earth. Allow weaker heroes to become stronger while the Op heroes fight elsewhere. IMO
Le
Superman is also vulnerable to magic, which hasn’t been excluded at this point.
However, the best Superman stories take advantage of Kal-el’s humanity. His depthless kindness, empathy (despite being an alien), and fundamental humanity. It’s not about the power set or how difficult the enemy is to overcome. It’s about his emotional and psychological weaknesses.
JB
You obviously don’t understand the character well. He is vulnerable to many things, not just kryptonite. He gets weaker away from the sun, has to recharge, is vulnerable to magic. What makes him so interesting is his emotional state. He’s a godlike figure that yearns for the human experience.
Not boring at all.
Jayne1955
I’m 67 and I’ve seen almost a dozen Supermen and he’s the absolute worst.
Robert
I’m just hoping that Gunn’s new and improved version of Superman crashes and burns so badly that WB goes bankrupt and Gunn ends up in a back alley turning tricks for food.
Joe
Why do you want that
Alixander
I’m pretty sad that Cavill is leaving. I loved his run and it does seem f@cked up how all this negative publicity of Ezra and Amber, legal issues might I add. Whatever, i’m probably still going to watch GOTGV3 but i’m definitely upset about this loss.
Heather
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😁 wow, that harshes my mellow
Stewart
I agree .what on earth is wrong with Kal-El. Henry Cavill does a great job. Of being him.
Christian
Come on man did you forget about Roth for Superman returns.
Ben Marcum
I take it you have never seen a Christopher Reeve movie.
Stewart
Which other one did you Prefer?
VLM
Superman has been a boring load of papshy smapshy since the 1950s. The Perfect Boy Scout might be a good role model but he’s a terrible character.
And by the way? DEFINITELY not a millennial, here, and DEFINITELY not clueless when I’ve got a couple thousand dollars worth of comic books from the 1950s and 1960s in my attic.
Jeff
Ok you’re not a millennial, but storing thousands of dollars worth of comics in your attic means you’re not a genius either.
D
This is what we call a troll 👏
@yahoo.com caputo hellgate8@yahoo.com
I am a huge fan of Cavil’s Superman and am extremely disappointed that they are not going forward with his Superman. Having said that it is a business decision and fans should try and understand that. I have been very happy with just about everything that James Gunn has done. This outrage is totally ridiculous. The fans sound like a bunch of petulant children, grow up. They are trying to build and plan a universe that will work. Let’s give it a chance.
Stewart Harvey-Wilson
Maybe call the studio and share some of your comics DC need a lot of help
Scott
But Henry Cavill’s superman was not a boy scout he killed zod.
Grant
Superman was the first. There was no such thing as a Superhero before him.
Mike
I beg to differ. First there was that character that could bring the dead back to life, make the blind see, and create an institution so powerful it could have a magic city outside the reach of any governments.
Sumadeez
Definitely fiction
MikeJoncho
Thanos?
Christopher Lichowicz
Actually, you’re wrong about who was the first super hero.
It was Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze.
but, both he and Superman both debuted in 1933. Doc Savage in March (first), Superman – April 18th.
Doc #1
Soops #2
Research!!
Michael
DCU has made plenty of mistakes and how they handled Henry’s situation was less than what he deserved but GOTG is an established storyline that deserves a proper ending and I believe Gunn will give it that. I will definitely go and see it.
Christopher Poole
Thank you. I frankly don’t give half a crap about them recasting Superman. How many times have they done Batman now?
GoTG has nothing to do with any of that.
Isaac
I am not interested in non of James Gunn direction when it comes to movies. And when it comes to Superman, he doesn’t have the passion enough to make a good script.
Philip
Pick your battles people. Boycotting for this reason is ridiculous. This is just artistic content love it or hate it and companies will always make moves you don’t like but has nothing to do with your entertainment experience with another movie unassociated with it. I say grow up for anyone who has a problem with Superman not being your Superman
Joe
Really think it’s a mistake
Cavil has played and looked the part of superman better then anyone to date
The history of superman is a purely American story
And literally the greatest superhero ever created
And Cavil filled the roll perfectly
Jason
You actually think this person, with the personality of a rock, was better than Christopher Reeves? WTF
Elizabeth
I think letting Henry Cavill go was dirty move. He gave up Witcher for the role of Superman.Not going to any of Gunn or Safran movies.
Elliott
I love galaxy of gurdins because I hear the announcers saying to play that movie for 2023 that’s the year I graduate that year thank you for being fans
Bradley
To be fair, when Man Of Steel first came out everyone before Generation Z was initially buying it lol

I hope James Gunn messes up for firing Henry Cavill.

Seconded…✊🏼
Redleg17
What makes Emily “clueless?”. Some of people take this crap way too seriously. Just a character in a movie, not some sort of demi-god.
James
Yep superman is entirely.pointless and op
Mike
I go to the movies to be entertained. I don’t have time for the drama between millionaires and billionaires.
As it is, the super hero movies have waned in quality since Endgame.
Black Adam was awful. Wakanda was slightly better, but couldn’t hold a candle to Black Panther.
Dr Strange was …. Strange. A very long movie about a misguided mother with powers to destroy everything and everyone. Odd, indeed.
To answer the question posed, I will absolutely go see GOTG. Hopefully, I’ll be entertained.
Mark
I will boycott,whT they did was shifty after he gave up his role on the series The Witcher. Pretty dirty to me so I’m done with them and their movies.
J2
You know millennials are mostly in their 30s and 40s right. So you are in the wrong generation pal.
Bad Kitty No Milk Tonight
Boycotting a movie is the surest way to guarantee lines around the block.
TRiK
I Couldn’t Agree More with you if I Tried. As a Superman fan since the age of 4, I was Extremely disappointed at James Gunns’ decision. Though I am intrigued as to who he might cast as a Younger Clark Kent/Superman.
Person
Oh, Superman is one of the most boring characters, and his stories are boring. No matter who plays him
Person
I’m 40+, and I wholeheartedly agree. Superman is even more boring than Batman
Casualplayer
Accurate.
Jane
Steve, you’re now in my Will.

Henry Cavil is Superman! Shame on you Disney!

Making too much out of a small deal. I hope they find a better Superman.
Rose
I totally agree!

Rocket rules, Superman drools!

I concur
Heather
I am not a millennial. Far from that. Superman needs to go
to DC Comics and stay away from Marvel.
wolfbaneane
Don’t confuse millenials with GenZ, their the crazy ones. Also not really wrong about Superman
ARTHUR J HYATT
Agreed
Jeff
Emily, you’re stupid and boring and no one would watch you. However Henry Cavill was excellent in the part. As good or better the Christopher Reeeves. He should have had another shot at the role.
Gloria
Well said Jeff. I strongly agree with you. Henry is excellent as superman. Now that Gunn removed him, I will no longer be watching guns movies. He made a Big mistake in removing Henry. Henry is young still to make more movies as superman. Gunn could wait with his stupid changes. It will not hurt him at all because we the fans love Henry as superman no one else. Gunn could wait until Henry retired as superman. Gunn is going to see a Big Numbers drop in box office because of his ignorance mistake to Henry.
G
He’s ok but definitely no Christopher Reeves
TomKalEl
While I agree with you in part, that Henry Cavill played and equally amazing Superman. I’d still have to give it to Christopher Reeves overall though. His bumbling portrayal of Clark made a very noticeable difference between Clark and Superman. The way he walked and talked you’d never think he was Superman. Till he was. With Henry unfortunately as much as I love the guy as an actor, when he was Clark Kent, he was still Superman to me for the most part.
Mr. Everybody
Emily, firstly, you spelled his name wrong. Secondly, Superman is the oldest of the most famous comic book superheroes. Just because he doesn’t apply to you doesn’t mean he is stupid or boring.
Thirdly, Henry Cavill has been a fresh change to the Superman legacy, something we haven’t seen since Smallville so if you’re going to make a point, bring some knowledge with you please.
Matt
Superhero movies keep getting worse. It’s been all downhill since phase 1 of the MCU finished. Everything is woke and it seems that DC is following suit. I have no interest in a Gunn written movie. GOTG2 wasn’t good and the Christmas special was a joke. Also, both suicide squads sucked.
Bob
Peacemaker was fantastic! Ok carry on!
Jon Ty
Never support John Xiana. Anyone who kowtows to the CCP should be ignored.

It’s the MODERN AGE!!! Nobody wants to see a punk azz 20’s somethin kid playing him these DC’S & MARVEL movies are for Grown folks now. This ain’t no Childs Play GTFOH!!!

You are entitled to your opinion, but I could not disagree more.
For me Superman was the first big budget superhero franchise.
Rj
It’s Cavill…..moron

Cavill Moron? Hmm
Trevor
Good argument 🤣
Clark
Emily’s a GenZ brainless. Found out earlier. You should see their social media…Lame. Trying to be relevant in the world. Then save people instead of joining the cult as we now know it.
Volksson
Superman would vitchsmack those coward weaklings
James
I thought the article is about guardians of the galaxy.
TomKalEl
You obviously know nothing about his character and only what you’ve heard from others. Superman is far from boring, and his only weakness isn’t just some rock.
Deep down Superman is one of the best hero’s BECAUSE of how powerful he is. One of my favorite encounters he had was a fight with Darkseid. Before fighting him he explained how he feels as though he lives in a world made of cardboard. He has to literally focus all his strength both mentally and physically even when he simply gives someone a hug or a handshake, as to not squeeze too hard and kill or seriously injure them.
Superman’s compassion for everyone is a true beacon of light, he sees the good in everyone regardless of their past and tries to help them, instead of always just resorting to killing or brute force.
Superman may seem boring to you because again you don’t know enough about him as a character, his morals and beliefs are what make him one of my fav characters, not his powers…..those change too much depending on who’s writing him. But the original Superman, was perfect. His personality hasn’t changed, and that’s one of his biggest powers.
I’d say you’re boring if you think a character as deep as Superman is boring.
Lastly to those that said he only has one weakness, lol. Aside from Kryptonite, magic can hurt him too. But his biggest weakness, and also strength, is his love and compassion for mankind.
FrecklesUSA
Good one.
Me
Just like your opinions…..dunce
Tony L
Boycotting Guardians 3 doesn’t affect Gunn at all. He’s already been paid and cashed the check. It doesn’t affect Cavill in any way either. If you believe boycotting Guardians 3 will result in Gunn and/or DC hiring Cavil again for the 17th time, then you’re delusional. It will do nothing to Gunn, SC, nor Cavill. If you’re going to boycott anything (not that it will affect that specific project), boycott the Flash movie, Aquapac 3, Gunn’s DC movies. Doing that may cause DC to rethink their writer/director/actor choices. Boycotting Marvel Films will not.
Tiffany
Agreed 1,010%!
CWIRTW
Of course “Emily”, who was likely born AFTER 2002, would say that superman is boring…. Emily should stick to watching “My Little Pony” instead and not comment on classical Characters they know nothing about.

Superman is THEE Superhero that put Superheros on the map and big screen.
SEE THIS IS THE PROBLEM RIGHT HERE! This is GUNNS AUDIENCE!
Eric
So happy that you got that unimportant comment out of your system lol
Sandy
It was just uncool the way it was handled. They new this was going to happen coming in. So it should have been done immediately. Can’t stand Gunn, Guardians 2 sucked. But I will watch 3 just to finish out the trilogy. Then never watch anything Gunn does again.😉
J
Superman is DC though. Guardians is Marvel.
DCU Dan
You are correct about that but they need someone recognize to bring together the whole franchise like the MCU did. Superman and Batman are the only two most recognizable characters. Batman is too dark though.
Duke
And you obviously don’t like guys… You’re probably one of those people out of the street corner was signs telling people how much you hate men
Jeremiah
Well it’s a good thing nobody respects your opinion Karen.

Superman was dead after Christopher Reeves died. There never should’ve been any attempt at a new one. Keeping Amber is what will keep me away from the DCU though.

Lol! Yes, I agree with the second part. He could be in the most boring movie of all time (like the Lord of the Rings) and I’d still be glued to the screen! 😍
Seronica
I agree with you
Chasing fools
Sorry that you are stuck in victim blaming. Henry makes a great Superman but the Studio management is using him as eye candy for the wmn rather than giving him better scripts with depth. Why don’t you turn your anger or dissatisfaction towards them. Then you will get the Superman that you expect.
John Cavington
James Gunn knows what he’s doing. These fanboys need to take a seat so they can heal from the butt hurt.

A bit to much story for you perhaps. Best you stick with cartoons.
Rose
Well, you know what they say about opinions?? Anyway, lots of people do like Superman and Henry Cavill was the BEST! That’s ok, he will do well in his upcoming projects. Who needs DC!
Emil Atik
What do mean by that exactly?You didn’t say anything particularly negative about Henry Cawill himself(little mad nyself towards,due to his sudddn exists here and there ,almost at oncr and out of the blue..But,still,that’s just him as an actor,how express his characters AND MOST IMPORTANTLY how he looks,which isn’t to debate, LIKE AT ALL..An IDEAL MAN LOOK OF ALL MAN LOOKS there’s what we say,or the non-myopic rational majority would say..Good that’s settled down now and clarified..🙃👍)though,so I would pro-contra argue or discuss with you for eternity, if I have to .One of the biggest endurances of writing out there,if needed,you see🤷😉
Finally,you did however rather belittle the otherwise exceptional character being Superman,instead.Kinda acceptable,but that’s due to his concept,or what?Care to elaborate now, gurll?😅🙃👍💎🌈

Nobody cares how you feel about Cavill or Superman. How did you imagine differently?
Aj
An so is your life… stop hating
P
Good for u I guess. Superman is iconic. He is one of the biggest names in comics. While, u are entitled to an opinion, millions of fans disagree. Many also cared about Cavill’s portrayal. I am sure they could care less about your thoughts. I know I don’t…
Daniel
Superman is awesome
John
Yea, I agree, no Cavil as Superman, I’m out too.
Finn
Caring about their fans is about as far removed as shooting their movies in actual space. Nameless younger actors to save money.
Joe
Money that will no doubt go to Gunn and Sarner
Jason
“Clark Kent Actor”?!
REALLY?!
DeLaunhardt
It seems like WOKE Hollywood just WILL NOT give fans what they want…in ANY franchise.
…hence their need to get rid of Henry Cavil….and their soon to come RUIN!
Hollywood RIP……
VLM
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Yeah, sure, because one rando on the Internet has a tantrum, Hollywood is just going to shrivel up and die. Suuuuure.
Honey, it ain’t “woke” when an actual child predator is still making millions. The Cavill situation has nothing whatever to DO with “woke,” it’s just YOU being a moron and throwing out “woke” as an insult to anything you don’t like.
D
And you are probably the president of the “woke” club…moron!
Tim
Im my opinion . its the writing amd the casting. Bit mostly the writing. Batman vs Superman exteneded cut was an amazing movie. More please…..the casting innthat movie was spot on. Too many changes in actors playing characters jas damaged DCU. Comsitancy and story lines need to be improved….Superman meeds an upgrade to modern times but not a new actor. Henry Cavell is one great actor and its Supelrman….not Superboy. Let him play the role
Carlos
The Disrespect to Cavill is just sickening… Couldn’t Agree more when The Rock said that Cavill is this Generation Superman Hands Down. Was so Exited when I finally got to see his face come out of the shadows on Black Adam and so exited to know that I would get to see Cavill Dawn the Red Cape again… Lets ALL Fans come together and make them feel the hurt by just NOT suporting The Gardians 3…
Jayne1955
But he’s SO bad. I’m 67 and I’ve seen an awful lot of Supermen. He’s the absolute worst. It’s worse than his Lone Ranger.
Kontra 0mnia
Hey Einstein, Henry Cavill wasn’t in Lone Ranger.
Lawrence Nicks
WOW you actually thought Henry Cavill was in the Lone Ranger your age finally caught up with you.
Don
Cavill is one of the best actors to play Superman in a while. Why do they always want to screw up something that works. If you want to change something get rid of Miller in Flash. He’s useless.
VLM
….okay, so what about the disrespect to Christopher Reeves that they hired Cavill in the first place? Being this hung up on who plays a character that’s had at LEAST eleven different actors so far is what’s sickening!
N
Curious, but what does Mr. Reeves (who passed in 2004) have to do with the casting of Superman in Man of Steel (2013), Henry Cavill or not?
Mon
I’m still waiting on a good DC movie to come out so I am quite keen to see what Gunn is planning. GOTG3, I will be there just as I have been for every other Marvel film.
Stephanie
I’m sorry but what does boycotting GotG3 have to do with Cavill not playing Superman again? So you want to hurt all the actors and crew that put in a lot of work on a movie because Gunn has something to do with it. I’m sorry but that the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. I will be going to see GotG3 and I hope Cavill will come back as Superman. He’s the best Superman we’ve had since Christopher Reeve.
daysparrow
This.☝️
Dan
The fact that you think ANYONE who supports Gunn who is a child pedo is ok is sick!! Yes everyone should boycott Gunn! His a$$ belongs in prison!! Anyone who supports him and Hollywood for money over children is what’s wrong with this world!!! Done with people ignoring pedophile!!! NOT OK!
Trevor
Stephanie I will not be seeing any film by James Gunn. There is not a single movie I like or own that he was involved with. If actors are worried about being out of work then my guess is they aren’t very good at their job. I hope everyone boycotts all of Gunn’s works.
PooWindu
*don
Jayne1955
Cavill stunk. I’m not surprised he’s not going on.
Jeff
Jayne1955, 67 years is a long time to be a moron. Cavill is a good actor and the only thing that stinks is your cheap Walmart perfume.
Hefe
Jeff, you’re crying about Superman on a Disney website. I wouldn’t lean too heavily into the trash talk, your father is probably disappointed in his son enough as it is.
Dee Rush
I have other reasons to avoid watching any future movie written and directed by James Gunn – namely “Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2” and “The Suicide Squad”. Both movies were solely written by Gunn. I thought “GotG 2” had a badly written plot, despite strong characterizations. And I though “The Suicide Squad” was an utter mess. But after learning what happened to Henry Cavill, I’m inclined to miss out on “GotG3”. I’ve lost a great deal of respect toward Gunn as a filmmaker in the past five-and-a-half years.
Rob
Firing is the first step, then the rest of the twitts that thought it was a good idea as well. Won’t be any reaso to see movies in theater anytime soon
Dave
Lol doesn’t bother me none to much, I’m still gonna pirate it when I can.
Jess W.
I’m failing to understand what Cavill has to do with Gaurdians of the Galaxy? Oh, because it’s the same director? Boo-hoo! The Guardians movies are some of the best of the MCU. Which still has nothing to do with Henry Cavill (and I’m a big fan of his just fyi). People find any reason for a boycott these days, they’re starting to loose their effect.
Kontra 0mnia
GotG 2 is a a drawn out episode of 7th Heaven starring Marvel characters.
Beast
I agree, the only thing I was excited about, as far as DC movies are concerned, was Henry Cavill returning as Superman. I don’t know who’s decision it was giving James Gunn control over anything but I’m baffled as to why.
Mrtin
Wars. Poverty. Child abuse. Domestic violence. Murders. Etc etc and people losing their crap protesting over some actor not playing a part anymore. Human race has truly lost its way
Rich
Fed up with the DC studio’s crap. Am not bothering with GotG3. The holiday special was terrible!
Jimmy
Bet you end up watching it. You watched the holiday special that was obviously going to be lame
Jimmy
People complain DC is stagnant doing same thing over and over again. New faces with a proven track record come in and want to change things up. So people complain that they aren’t doing the same thing as before. People just love to complain. How about wait and see how things go.
Merp the great
I personally love the GoTG movie’s and the holiday special. They make me happy and tied to great memories in my life. I even named my dog after rockets soulmate Lylla who’s finally showing up. I’m not boycotting a movie I’m excited over simply because of choices in another franchise that in all honesty wasn’t even my cup of tea. But that’s my Opinion Opinion and choice and we are allowed to have different views and choices 😉 😏
Wolf Knutson
I would have loved to see Henry Cavill as Superman once again, but I can kind of understand why Gunn wants a younger guy picking up the reins. And I will definitely not be boycotting GOTG 3 as they are some of my favorites!
Vinny
Henry Cavil said he was not going to do another Superman movie, it was his decision, not the studios or the Director’s, you guys are just throwing toddler fits over something that was not going to happen…
Bob
He was in the end credits scene in Black Adam and then he posted a statement and video on his social media announcing his return as Superman. Then a few weeks later Hamada quit as DC Films head and Safner and Gunn were announced as the new heads of DC Films. They decided to scrap all the current projects. Cavill just a few days ago announced he was told he would not return as Superman. People are just upset about all the quick changes that are happening. In time people will change their mind.
Jeremy
Superman has at least three weaknesses:
Kryptonite
Magic
Boyscout morality
I hope James Gun blows it. The only reason that he is firing these actors is because he lacks humility.
He’s just like Joss Whedon with a more childish brand of humor.
Sean Golden
If this is ALL it takes to make any fan ,ANY REAL FAN, boycot Gardians then you are a Lemming and U need real help.
Warren
Henry Cavill was an excellent Superman. When you look at this guy you simply see Superman! This is truly disappointing.
Ed
Agreed
Troll Destroyer
Boycott this Marvel movie, says DC fans. Nice try tho…
The nightwing
Good job guun you are going to be hated in both franchises now I won’t be seeing GOTG 3 st all and your downfall will be your own fault for rebooting DCU enjoy your painful downfall you screwed up. #boycottgotg3.
Michael Michalovich
Of course I’ll see the movie , soon as it comes out on streaming, just like every other movie. This so called boycott is only going to make more people go see it.
There’s no such thing as bad advertising even bad advertising is good advertising.
Jonathan King
I feel like it’s sad to remove Henry Cavil as Superman considering how good he is as him, but I also feel it’s slightly necessary to try to start from I clean slate, if they want to make a connected universe like marvel. Especially since around 50% of the connected DCEU was pretty trash, even if it had good actors. Also you have a whole flash movie they can’t release, which is a huge money waste, considering they won’t be getting that money back. James Gunn is walking into a barely stable trash fire, and is trying reform it, so if some of trash is the greatest trash ever, it still can’t be excluded from the rest of the fire.
Mike
DCU has been an unwatchable mess since they started. Clean house and try again (if they have the cash to throw at it). Cavil was fine, but far from perfect. Let them start from scratch, it certainly can’t be worse. And the absolute winners on here calling it “woke” are just worried about living in a world where they aren’t the privileged main character anymore and others get to co-star. I hope introspection is a skill you can learn… Otherwise I’m sorry for all of the manufactured pain you must be in.
Joe
You idiots ruin everything.
Voice of Reason
Amazes me how stupid people can be. WB absolutely destroys the DCEU over the years. Finally conceding that it is a dumpster fire, they hire two people to rebuild it. It is completely unreasonable to think that someone like Gunn was going to come in and continue a universe that was destroyed by WB, but was already on the path to failure with Snyder. Look at BvS, people. LOOK AT IT. It’s the whole reason WB started getting too involved in the first place.
There was only one way to do this and that was from the ground up. They have the perfect movie to reset everything in The Flash as well. There was no saving the Snyderverse and it wouldn’t have been something worth saving anyways. It was already beginning to nosedive ON THE SECOND MOVIE.
Graham Gledhill
I’ll not be boycotting it.
Von
Y’all are really arguing about Superman. SMH. I wonder how many of you voted for Brandon..
DJ Marathon
Warner Brothers ruined the DCU not James Gunn. They did a horrible job with Justice League. Flash is not the flash. Black hair, acts like a kid. He was a CSI science wiz, not some goofy spin off of spider man. DCU was having problems before James Gun. Shazam teased Superman, Black Adam teased Super Man. They are so behind, Flash Point might be re titled Flash Back. Why would we punish myself from watching Guardians of the Galaxy?
Cheri Cook
No! The two are completely unrelated why would I not see a mcu movie because of this idiot. The man he’s upset about is making a DIFFERENT movie. This is REDICULOUS.
Seth
ok just to set the record straight on the whole superman thing, it’s not about his physical weaknesses. It’s about a man with the power to do anything striving for good and battling hubris. What’s admirable is his ability to do good with the capability of so much evil that may seem right, and doing the right thing anyway. I’m no enemy really a Superman fan but tbh I thought this bit was obvious 😅

If you don’t care about Superman why are you running your mouth that’s the first question I would ask you Jay now to point out a fact it’s not one Tiny Stone it’s several variations of a mineral that was only found on Krypton they are different colors and have different effects not all or detrimental you clearly do not enjoy the Superman comic universe and therefore you’re not an Enthusiast so you obviously don’t know all that much about Superman so I don’t understand why you were even voicing an opinion except to troll in the comment section and make a lot of people angry so what I’m going to say is this well Superman isn’t indestructible he was killed by Doomsday for one there are multiple other superheroes who are as strong as Superman or as fast as Superman and who actually surpass Superman and various ways what makes Superman so super is his Humanity the fact that he will sacrifice himself for the greater good of even one life a life form that by all human standards does not equal his own but then I guess that sentiments lost on someone who’s sole purpose in the comment section is dark grievances so I say to you title off to Twitter somewhere there’s a bridge missing its troll
S
FFS, gunns actions now ( whether you like them or not) have nothing to do with guardians movie. Grow up entitled snowflakes. Crying when things don’t go your way is supposed to end when you’re 5.

I won’t be watching any more DC work trash far as that goes I’m going to be watching any more Marvel garbage either to be quite Frank about it all these people injecting their personal beliefs into a story that is shared by all is disgusting and it’s pathetic and it is not in the spirit of the individuals who created these beloved characters or universes and to be honest no one cares about a young Superman. Not one person that I have heard or know wants to see a big screen adaptation of Smallville Smallville was great in its time as it was and it launched the careers of a few people but to be honest with you after several seasons of Smallville not really interested what are the fans of Superman and America want is a return to something recognizable we want Superman to be Superman not to be some injected hormonally challenged teenager who can’t decide whether they want to be a boy or a girl today we want Superman to be Superman we want Superman with the American values that made him who he was he was raised on a real farm with regular American values and that’s what made Superman awesome everyone’s sick of this woke canceled culture bull crap you’re destroying the stuff that we grew up loving you’re wrecking our nostalgia and we’re done with that we should rise against you keep our wallets in our back pockets our debit cards in our wallets and let you and the only way you won’t fail is if you get an injection of dirty Washington money through your CIA handlers because this is a stop being ran against our people and our country by people who seek to destroy us from within what should do is sell off all the stock in these companies that practice all this woke ideology and let you collapse or people with enough money buy all the stock until you own 51% of these companies and then fire all these people with no severance then pull their internal slack messages and expose them so that they can’t get work anywhere due to them what they’re doing to us after we expose them then we can push them out it’s called a clean sweep it’s kind of like a colon cleanse you just strain really hard until there’s nothing bad left inside all these people that are ruining all these things that is spouse American values kind of makes me wonder whose values they’re pushing sort of seems like China’s values to me I mean people are still going to Disney World and still spending money on Disney stuff even though they know Disney literally suppressed the black actor who played Finn on the cover art and poster art for Star Wars even though Finn was one of if not the best character in the movie to be honest with you I was only able to stomach the first movie Finn was the best character in the whole damn movie he was the character I hope would wind up with the lightsaber and being the Jedi but no it got forked over to a Mary Sue who was garbage whose sole purpose was to destroy the inherent Legacy of Star Wars simply because it did what movies and TV and media and everything else at that time did reflect that eras social values it don’t mean you have to agree with it but if that’s what your focused on I bet you have huge college debt because you probably went to school for gender studies or critical race Theory which I don’t understand all you critical race theorists because y’all should be the first people pissed off at Disney over them suppressing a black man just to sell tickets and movies in a foreign country but hey maybe that’s just my American values showing through again dirty filthy American I am expecting people making movies in my country to a spouse my country’s values rather than a spousing the values of a nation state that locks its people inside buildings and then burns them because of their zero covid policy the same country that during the beginning of the pandemic was dragging living people outside of hospitals zipped in body bags tossing them into an incinerator in the parking lot of the building and burning them alive but hey that’s who we’re making movies for right Disney
Mike
Superman is the purest form of superhero and Henry is the best Superman.
Stephanie
Henry Cavill isn’t bad, but Christopher Reeves was the best Superman ever. It’s really hard for me to accept anyone else in his role. I grew up with Reeves Superman and he will remain the best forever ❤️. I can’t be the only one who feels this way.
Kekelstvo
if DC need something is hard restart
Im upset because Henry is not Geralt anymore
but nobody care about superman
LaMonte
I could care less about the DCPEEU and what they do with their heroes. MARVEL has passed that sinking ship, so good riddance to bad rubbish. I am MARVEL all the way and can’t wait for GOTG v.3.
Bob
People must be leading pretty good lives when their concern is who is cast to play Superman.
P
Why boycott a Marvel movie for what is going on at DC? It is DC’s problem.
Bobby
OMG why can’t we have peace in the world but yet people have to find something to cry about. First it’s the changing of the name of the Washington redskins because that jack ass Obama said it should happen to removing the Indian on the butter now this. Just be happy that they’re still movies we can still watch to get us away from this bs. What’s next, the avatar movie should not have blue people but more plaid get a life losers
Donald
Get bent, cry baby bigot loser.
Stymie
I see we have mindless robot people in the house. Yes there is a change in the direction WB/DC is taking is it a good thing we do not know let’s wait and see. I can’t say I enjoy movies about one here over and over and again DC has so many characters to add to a line up ,and yes GOTG characters like other marvel movie are changing why hate on it ? Again people I think siperman,wonder woman, and other will come back in some form
Rene'e
Just WOW! Seems like everybody got their panties in a twist. Hollywood is Hollywood. They’re going to do what they want no matter what. Either go with it or not. There are a lot of things I’m not happy with with the DC and Marvel industry but I’m not going to sit here and boohoo about it like a bunch of 5th graders.
I for one love them all. I don’t sit there and nitpick and point out all the little indifferences and things they should change. I do kind of agree about the guardians of the Galaxy Christmas thing. It was a little weird. But I absolutely love those movies. They make me laugh my butt off. Chris Pratt is hilarious.. so with that being said I hope you guys all have a wonderful day and find something better to do with your time. Merry Christmas, Feliz Navidad or whatever makes your boat float. Peace out 😁
Ryan
Not real fans, just a couple internet children.
Josie
“I don’t like this decision so I’m going to boycott something!” I’ve never seen so many adult temper tantrums in my life. I love Henry Cavill too, but the last 10 years of DC films are mediocre at best. Grow. Up. wjen will people stop acting like 3 year olds whenever a decision or opinion isn’t completely aligned with your wants or beliefs? Ridiculous.
Ray
Not as boring as your comment
D
I just want a good doomsday movie that’s gory ,violent,and incredibly destructive…🤷🏽♂️
Stephanie Strickland
I’m 64 yrs old, an has grown up with Marvel an DC. I’ve watch the super hero’s transform from comic to television. With the many many different actor as Superman, Batman, Spiderman, an many other, the studio’s have finally got the right actors to play the roles. Other then Christopher Reeves. Henry Cavill is the best Superman ever in my opinion. Mr Gunn why are you trying to fix something that’s not broken. We are really tired of all the different Superheroes.
Ilene
STUDIOS SHOULD LISTEN TO FANS! WITHOUT MOVIE WATCHERS, THERE IS NO STUDIO!!
Earl
Good luck getting people to boycott GOTG3. Not gonna happen.
Brittney
First Off, leave Marvel out of DC/WB mess with James Gunn. Why? because Gunn chose violence, he chose anger instead of the choice of finishing off what was already established with Gal Gadot, Henry, Aquaman then using Flash/Flashpoint to reset the DC universe to his liking. So you avoid this backlash and everyone gets what they want. Boycott DC, leave Marvel alone. I know I’m done with DC, good luck to you DC fans because I smell flops coming and I’ll be laughing. DC will never compete with Marvel.
Paul Hughes
If Superman can be killed by a Gunn, what chance does the DC Universe have?
#FireJamesGunn
TexasDavif
Actors and roles get recast all the time, children. Just like in sports, getting fired is part of the biz people signed up for. See the movie, don’t see the movie, but boycotting won’t change anything.
Waldogator
Haven’t seen a DC movie since original Iron Man.
No desire to see another one.
Boring, Boring, Boring !
Jason
We love guardians of the galaxy, but it took ppl long enough to get over Christopher Reeves an to except Henry Cavil as superman an now we do y’all would be fools to replace Henry Cavil.
Cindy
WOW ….what is wrong with people now of days…where is your imagination…
That’s right now of days no one else’s opinion matters but yours…how damn selfish can this generation be!!
Just watch and keep opinions to yourself or better yet…you have nothing nice to say keep it to yourself!!!
Robert
So DC fans want Marvel fans to boycott a Marvel movie (with a genius comic action director) so they’ll fire the DC director (the same genius)? Did I get that right?
Troy
I never have cared for the DC univers I HAVE been very disappointed in all of the phase 4 marvel movies and streaming shows I am also sick of the woke bs in the movies
James
Henry Cavill was the best superman we had in a long time. He’s weak to magic and kryptonite, there is more than one color of it.
NoMane
No, this isn’t going to affect GotG 3. The only people who will attempt to boycott(by not going to watch) GotG 3 are Henry Cavill fans, and most if not all of them don’t watch Marvel anyways. Empty threats.
David Roughton
Boycotting GotG3 to spite James Gunn is just ludicrous. The movie has already been sealed for release (meaning completed & edited) and Gunn has been paid in full for his work (producers/directors DON’T receive royalties).
Therefore, boycotting a franchise film because of something the writer/director/producer does to ANOTHER franchise AFTER leaving Marvel, is a pitiful cry for attention that is NOT worthy of a TRUE movie lover.
Joe
Big ass nothing sandwich. These “boycotters” aren’t real fans.
Maureen
Superman is DC and Warner Brothers where as the Guardians of the Galaxy are Marvel and Disney. Therefore, one has absolutely nothing to do with the other.
John
You’re a moron.
David
Well. I loved the first Guardians of the Galaxy films. But to me the Gunn’s suicide squad was any better than the first movie. I not sure he is the answer to DCU movie problems.
Sam
I’m not an expert on DC, Marvel or any other comics. However, I do know that the original comics created the canon of each characters history and basis of existence. So why are so many people arguing about Superman and Kryptonite? Do you hear yourselves? I think Henry is one of the most talented actors of the superhero and fantasy genre. Carbon, Man of Steel and The Witcher… All top notch. It was a long held belief that every supe had at least one weakness. It was a matter of it being revealed. Do you not want to watch and enjoy these movies? Sounds like a bunch of entitled poopy pants toddlers who always got their way and then went to go work as Twotterphiles. Welcome to the real world, you sniveling little twots!!! Wimpy-ass pricks.
I
Hell TF No!Most Marvel fans don’t give af about DC!
Kayla
So everyone is mad cuz of a change in Superman?? But how many times has Batman changed?!?!?! It’s OK Marvel movie r better anyways and always have been🤷♀️🤷♀️
Dcac
I boycotted dc movies long back when they replaced christian bale as batman… I instead watch dc movies through pirated sites… Hurt them where it hurts the most ;p
Mx. Me
Cavill was an awful Superman. We should rejoice that he finally got the axe. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Dray
The franchise and the whole Marvel Universe died with Stan Lee. ‘Nuff Said!
Sam
Honestly i love guardians of the galaxy way too much to boycott it over some dude firing the old superman (who i dont even care for in the first place). If you wana boycott the superman movies go ahead but why mess with a great series like guardians? I always want as many people supporting good entertainment as possible in hopes that there will be more. Ill never get tired of them lovable psychos
MizHope
I’m with you! And also, what sense does it make to boycott Guardians, a Marvel asset, over trouble at the DC house? The whole thing has me scratching my head
Kat
No way,. I’m not skipping GOTG3,. Marvel shouldn’t be punished because of Gunn either. Cavill is great. It’s sad he won’t be Superman anymore.
Stephanie
I will still see Guardians Of The Galaxy 3. I was never a fan of Henry Cavels Surperman. I will always only recognize Christopher Reeves as the best Superman ever ❤️!
Bobby
I can guarantee 99% of the Twitter chumps saying to “boycott” GoG3 have never been laid. I like the MCU movies and DC movies just as much as the next guy, but
If you’re big moment in life is the time you got so passionate that you’re legit trying to start a revolution ….. about a make believe flying alien in spandex based on a childrens book…. I can assure you that you will no longer feel that strongly about it if you had boobs in your face.
Bobby
And you can switch Boobs out with whatever body part and whatever gender applies to your situation. I just said boobs because I had a pair hitting me in the face like 5 minutes ago.
Trueflight Silverwing
You know Cavil is probably making more money from his new Warhammer series that he is making that he was probably going to get from Superman anyway? Leaving DC was a good thing for him.
Xelita
I’m supposed to boycott my people playing in Guardians because of something happening over Superman? Seriously?
Yeah, I’ll do that when people boycott voting in the USA for lack of suitable candidates….
Or when they boycott politicians for being sponsored by corporations….
Or when they boycott Disney for not checking/changing suppliers selling clothes with Disney and Starwars characters with high amounts of lead….
Or they boycott Hershey for the lead found in dark chocolate….
I don’t think it’s necessary to continue the list. You get the picture.
Mario
This is poorly written. The author should be ashamed of themself.
Pattie
What DC did to Henry Cavill is absolutely wrong. Their decision to change actor after he was previewed at the end credits of Black Adam is unbelievable. I will band all future DC movies for myself and family. And encourage others to do so as well.
Jeff
ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!
I will not boycott GotG 3!!!
James Gunn is a brilliant director but terrible CEO..
Boycotting would punish MCU… Think who would be harmed by a boycott.
This is Gunn’s final MCU project so he can watch his successful franchise soar while DC burns to the ground.
He has nothing to build on at DC and he is not Kevin Feige… Good luck with that…
Jodie
Henry did good as Superman and while he loved it. Let someone else take on. You don’t see people fussing on the Batman role. He can use his talents elsewhere and probably succeed more. Never know if he may be asked back. I say stop whining and acting like you are spoon fed.
G
Ezra, Amber bad, Henry good. How is that hard to understand. Most fans are awake not “woke”. Interesting that woke and broke rhyme.
Alan
Oh come on!
Really? Boycott GOTG3? We are so lucky to live in world where this art even exists. Let alone studios willing to invest billions of dollars on what are in truth comics. Just saying chill a bit ok?
Tina
If you boycott…you are only hurting the other fine actors and that’s not fair.
Ironmom
I’ve followed the MCU from the first film, I will not boycott any Marvel movies. DC movies have zero effect on my movie going choices. DC movies are awful.
Randall Cox
Marvel movies work because they always got the same actors back for each movie. Ironman was always Robert Downey Jr, Captain America was always Chris Evans, etc. DC could learn a thing or two from that formula. It’s pathetic to get rid of Henry Cavill. He is Superman now. It’s almost like DC wants to fail and is sabotaging itself. I personally will not boycott GOTG3 though. I’m never a fan of boycotts. You just end up missing out on stuff.

Synder is a master of visuals but one of the worst story teller in Hollywood. Happy he can’t cont to mess up DC

How about a “childish” movie for a childish reason? It’s a fantasy not real life!

I’m not boycotting. James Gunn has brought NOTHING but perfection to the screen with Gaurdians and Suicide Squad. His Kingdom Come movie if he decides to do that will be perfect as well, and so will his recasting of supes.
Cake_&_Sodomy
No worries about it affecting me, as far as seeing the new marvel movie. Hadn’t planned on seeing but anyway. The last few marvel movies have all been predictable turds. Either way, as it turns out, I’m not that invested in superhero movies, to let them influence my day today life. honestly, the only people who should care that much to let it affect their lives, are the ones who have to get a ride to the theater because they just got their learner’s permit.
Sick and tired of complainers.
For God’s sake it is a movie based on children’s characters get over yourselves already!
Sick and tired of complainers.
Get over yourselves.
MECM
I will not boycott Guardian 3 simply because I have been waiting for it. With that said I will not go and see another Superman. I personally love Calvin plus I’m tired of the movie franchises replacing actors as well as actresses just because the have gotten older.
Terri
Don’t care about who plays Superman, as long as the actor IS/plays Superman!
Nothing will stop me from watching or supporting Gardians of the Galaxy!!!! Bar none by me the best series of all the comic franchises.
Jeremy
Cavill or anyone being fired is just a part of literally any job, plus with information regarding wildly inappropriate workplace behavior and the aggressive misogyny, it seems much deserved. The boycott is incredibly childish and unecessary in every context imo. Hope Gunn continues without issue in the future.
iVas
Ohhh noooooo….
How ever will Marvel’s historically triumphant box office take survive without the patronage of all the Snyderverse fans? “There are t̶h̶o̶u̶s̶a̶n̶d̶s̶ dozens of us! DOZENS!”
Boycotting a movie because the director who has the enormous task ahead of spearheading a new iteration of a notoriously problematic franchise with some of the most ruthless “fans” would rather start with a clean slate than try and put pearls on that piggy and constantly have his work forever tethered and compared to the blunders of the past instead of being adults and realizing your precious movie universe isn’t going to get jealous if you let yourself get excited to see what a brilliant director can do with a fresh set of colors.
Passion: 100% DCEU hyperfan passion.
Logic viability: Unfortunately, also 100% DCEU hyperfan

Batman kills superman. Get over it. Can’t wait to watch the next guardian’s of the galaxy.
Rocket is the real hero. He’s Infantry as F***.
Trash panda up
Michelle
Hell yeah!!!
Barian
I liked Cavill as Superman. He looked the part and I’m sure he would be able to portray Superman perfectly if they had ever let him.
It sucks that the snyderverse wrote Sups as a petulant demigod who lets everyone down, and then comes back “surprisingly” to defeat everything almost on a whim in the third act, instead of as a good hearted and optimistic hero who cannot understand the darkness people hold in their hearts and believes in humanity far more than our consistently poor track record deserves.
I would have loved to see Henry portray a well written Superman who is good natured to just beyond a fault instead of being given scripts where he had to be some weirdly brooding and reluctant “SuperBatman” type anti-hero as he was made to portray.
Sad to see you go before you could truly shine as the Sups I’m sure you could be, Henry. Best to you in all your future works!
Ryan
Superheroes are a hack trope.
Mark
Maybe it’s because Henry Cavill has already been cast as the new James Bond ? , and his schedule didn’t fit in with what James Gunn wanted , so fired him
Michelle
I’m not boycotting anything because I’m not a crybaby fan boy. I’m excited to see what’s coming next because Henry Cavill is a boring jar of mayonnaise. All these whiny “fans” can sit around and cry all day long but guess what? James Gunn is still going to cash his check. Get over it.

#BanGuardiansVol3
Yeap !!! Smart thing to do
Adam Winslow
The thing I have a problem with isn’t Henry carville as Superman it’s how they tried to make Black Adam and anti-hero like Deadpool when Black Adam killed Shazam a little boy and never show the amount of remorse so he can’t be an antihero the premise of an anti-hero is a hero who kills but still feels morality in the peacekeeper John Cena struggles with morality when he’s told to kill a mother and children and he can’t do it you see that’s an anti-hero Black Adam is just a villain not a hero
Kat strid
Superman is awesome another weakness that he has is Louis he turned the world around to save her
Naga
I don’t know why there is hate for super man. They can still write stories for the character. In the comics of the past (I’m not sure about now I don’t read them) they had a lot of depth and had a Superman that was as very vulnerable emotionally and physically to many elements in the stories. Very r well rounded, interesting and developed Superman character. Modern film makers need to go to those comics for inspiration. We can reinvent Superman movies and make them more relatable and deep. But I’ve always seen Superman movies as enjoyable and relatable though. Especially the Christopher reeves movies. They were fun. Plus Henry Cavill is the best looking Superman of our era. Besides Christopher reeves. It’s a shame they are not using him.
Blue
I’d prefer Henry to stay as Superman, but I’m nor going to punish the Guardians because of that.
Okic
Marvel universe has become woke is the reason I’m boycotting. I’m sick of movies having to have gay, women and blacks in them.
Toni Hanson
I support a boycott on all things James Gunn is involved in. I hate it will impact MCU but it is what it is.
Rob
I’m not understanding what DC turmoil has to do with a Marvel production?🤷🏻♂️
Cihollo1005
Idk how this turned into a bash superman thread but I’ll join that bandwagon…in his defense 😆
U dont have to like him or respect him but please understand him:
1. He’s ONLY powerful because of the yellow sun which means naturally Kryptonians weren’t “super human” strong…n other stars like red n blue causes different powers to present
2. He has plenty weaknesses given he’s almost always bested by a human Lex Luthor via some creative manipulation with kryptonite
3. He’s a fictional character whose powers are no more outlandish than any other “super hero”…so can we discuss the guardian boycott now
Oh yeah
4. I saw someon attacking millennials…umm i was bornt in 1987 dont group me with them 95 bornt ppl whose influences were very different n thus views are oftentimes very different. Now seriously can we talk about the guardians boycott😆
Chelsea
Yes to literally everything you just said lmao
Mary
I appreciate Dwayne Johnson supporting a fellow actor’s career and fans wanting to keep Henry Cavil as Superman but I don’t think we should make the actors and crew of Guardians suffer for the decision. Boycott new superman movies. Makes more sense.
Marilyn
The comments are hilarious. Are these folks mature enough to just move on? They could show the January 6th committee how that works before they wipe out any more taxpayer money.
TG
I’m cool with the changes…except removing him as Superman. Simple as that…that’s like recasting Iron Man after the second one
Bash
I sure as hell will NOT boycott GoG v.3 over some DC stuff… the universe is wac anyways, the only thing keeping it alive was the actors. Let it reboot, shut up have a coke and a smile.. p.s. no real Marvel fan would boycott
Chris
Nobody is boycotting.
McCanthaveanythingnice
lol a bunch of soy-huffers went on a boycott, oh no
how ever will Hollywood recover?
Keith
“Will the recasting of Superman make you skip Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3?”
No it has no affect on me seeing GotGv3 at all. And I will go see the new Superman if or when it comes out no matter who is playing Supeman.
Because I go to enjoy movies. Not make them my life. I have seen so many Supermen in my life. They all had thier own angle on the character. Sure I like one over the other but I am not going to go running home crying about it.
With all the issues in the world right now. Not going to a movie because of another movie? That just us not the actions of a true adult.
Ed
Why am I not surprised? For all these people saying that Superman is boring not interesting. We live in a society where we want our superheroes to be complex more relatable and forget the fact that they are superheroes!! Superman is indestructible but that’s what makes him super he is literally the definition of a superhero. Hawkeye is not a superhero that man is not a superhero!! If I’m the last person left on Earth who loves Superman for being virtuous trustworthy and one of the last good guys left in the world of superheroes then so be it. You all suck and disgust me but what can I say this is a sign of the times we hate what is good and love what is bad.
Dude
Henry is Superman the best ever !!!
Israel
What goes on in DC should have nothing to do with this movie! Grow up people!! You know what…just don’t show up at movie premiere night, might as well get some good seats this time around then….better for me….
Listen well….ur voice won’t be heard….and DC world….they obviously don’t care about yall.
And nothing yall do or post will change that ….you’re wasting your time.
Muerte Vudu
What an absolute waste of energy! Not enough ppl will actually boycott the movie to make any difference at all. And why would you? Who cares even if they do. Maybe 15 ppl total will participate in the boycott?
Ppl just do not stick together in order to pull off anything like a boycott.
Even if, by some miracle, there were a significant amount of ppl whom participated, what difference would it ultimately make anyway? Hollywood has made some gigantic flops, which wasted countless millions of dollars, and no one cares. At the end of the day, they have some seriously deep pockets.
Regardless of any of that….. last time i checked in with Henry, he didn’t really care all that much about any of you. You think he’s going to forego his 64 ounce slurpy, and boycott 7-11 because one of you got canned for rocking the slurpy machine? Probably not.
Is this the 1st time theyve replaced, superman, batman, the hulk, spiderman etc etc
Maybe most of you should focus your attention and energy on doing something about uncle sam continuing to infringe on, and take away your rights as Americans.
The things that are important to the people in this country anymore have become seriously laughable, and at the same time, extremely disappointing.
This country has become pathetic. It’s dominated by sheep. Ultra-sensitive, petty, freeloading, selfish, grossly obese, lazy, cowardly, dependent, entitled, useless TURDS! It is most definitely, an enormous insult, to the average turd, to be compared to those of whom i reference.
You know who you are….floating aimlessly about your porcelain pool. Blaming everyone and anything for any problems you experience. Waiting for your next stimulus check. Expecting the government to pay your student loans. Get a job and pay your debt! Oh my god, it’s just so unfair, i bought a house, and now they expect me to pay for it. I should get a bail out.
Reality TV dominates programming because the sheep failing to live their own lives, live vicariously through others.
Social media, your 2000 facebook friends, your gaming profile as a kickass soldier or whatever, gives you a feeling of success.
Stop blaming everyone for your failures. Walk out the door and go do something with your life. Make it happen!
Stop sitting around waiting for someone to give you something. Stop blowing your money on scratch-offs and powerball tickets and the 1000 other useless things you waste money on.
Success in life takes effort. You get out what you put in.
Ahhh, forget it…Superman is way more important than anything else. You go out there and show them what happens when they mess with your good buddy Henry.
Matt
Well to fair James Gunn’s ass shoulda been booted out the door for those tweets and comments from years back and instead of getting the boot he got a promotion in DC gosh help us and the future of DC film universe if he is in charge, considering how Guardians of the Galaxy films turned out makes me worry for future of the DC films if those are anything to go by, those and Endgame.
