Divided Universe: Superman Fans React to Controversial Plot Twist!
SUPERMAN SHOCKER! Movie Reboot Leaves Fans Divided Over Game-Changing Twist
The wait is finally over, and Superman fans have been left stunned by a jaw-dropping twist that has taken the internet by storm. The highly-anticipated reboot, starring David Corenswet as the Man of Steel and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, has hit theaters today, but it's not just the special effects and action sequences that are making headlines.
Directed by James Gunn, the movie has already been savaged by critics, but it's the unexpected plot development that has left fans of the beloved superhero franchise reeling. In a shocking turn of events, Superman is revealed to have arrived on Earth with sinister intentions - not to save humanity, but to conquer and destroy!
The twist comes as a hologram message from Superman's parents, Jor-El and Lara, is distorted and decoded by villain Lex Luthor. This revelation has sent shockwaves through the Superman fandom, with many fans taking to social media to express their outrage and disbelief.
"I love the movie, but that plot twist was just... it's not it," wrote one fan on X. "I'm really not a big fan of making the dead parents bad people." Another added, "I'm still trying to comprehend why Jor-El wanted Clark to take control of Earth and kill anyone who gets in his way??? I'm really not sure what James Gunn was thinking during that stuff."
However, not all fans are opposed to the new direction. Some have praised the bold move, saying it adds a fresh layer of complexity to the Superman character.
"#Superman made me so damn happy," wrote one enthusiastic fan. "The movie is loaded with exhilarating action set pieces and well-placed humor and levity, but the beating heart of the film is Superman's humanity, and his insistence on doing good and making the world a better place."
Variety reporter Peter Debruge got in early on the film, describing it as "no sillier than Superman and a lot more entertaining" - a nod to the movie's ability to balance action and humor.
The Sunday Times has also weighed in, declaring the film a triumph. "Superman, directed by James Gunn, is a triumph," they write. "After a long wait, this is the film the character deserves."
