Eternally thin-skinned and whiny MAGA has found something new to throw a foot-stomping tantrum over:

'Superman' Director Responds To Right-Wing Meltdown Over 1 Simple Word
James Gunn's comments about the Man of Steel sparked a "SUPERWOKE" debate on Fox News.

Director James Gunn’s take on his new “Superman” movie appears to be kryptonite to conservatives after he described the iconic comic book character as an “immigrant,” an analysis that Clark Kent fans are all too familiar with.

Gunn — in a Sunday feature for The Times of London — described “Superman” as the “story of America,” adding that it highlights an immigrant who “came from other places and populated the country.”

He continued, “But for me it is mostly a story that says basic human kindness is a value and is something we have lost.”

Gunn, who noted that the movie is about “politics” as well as “morality,” said he expects “jerks out there who are just not kind” and will be offended “just because it is about kindness.”

“But screw them,” he said.

The story of “Superman” has been viewed as an allegory for immigrants. The character’s creators — Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster — were the children of Jewish immigrants and its publisher DC Comics once shared that the Man of Steel was himself a “refugee.”

I didn't know that.

Gunn’s description was met with right-wing criticism on social media and was the focus of debate on Fox News’ “The Five” on Monday in a segment that featured the chyron “SUPERWOKE.” ...

... Sean Gunn, the director’s brother who plays supervillain Maxwell Lord in the film, swiftly defended his sibling.

“We support our people, you know? We love our immigrants. Yes, Superman is an immigrant and yes, the people that we support in this country are immigrants and if you don’t like that, you’re not American,” he told Variety.

“People who say no to immigrants are against the American way.”

Deep dive on the topic and what silly bitches Kellyanne, Jesse and other Faux Noise cons are:

Always the public clarion, Kellyanne has made it our patriotic duty to see the film in theaters. I wasn't really planning on it, but . . .

Always the public clarion, Kellyanne has made it our patriotic duty to see the film in theaters. I wasn't really planning on it, but . . .

I saw the new liberal 'Superman' movie and it gave me the woke mind virus For starters, there was way too much caring. This Superman cared about innocent people who don’t look exactly like me, including people in a foreign country. He cared about people believing he was a good person. At one point, he even saved an alien baby and reunited it with its parent, when he should have been taking that alien baby AWAY from its parent and putting them both behind bars surrounded by alligators.
