Part 3/12:
One of the most debated points came from Gunn's comments describing Superman as an "immigrant story." Critics argued that this framed Superman in a politically loaded context, while Gunn attempted to clarify that it was primarily a message rooted in kindness. He stated that Superman's story is about compassion and that this core trait resonates globally, not just as an immigrant narrative. However, some skeptics argued that Gunn was again seeking to sidestep responsibility for the film's underperformance in certain regions by attributing it to superficial reasons like audience familiarity or anti-American sentiment.
