BTW, satire aside, the "Superman" movie was really fantastic. I'm not traditionally a big Superman fan. More of a Marvel guy, TBH. But it's a blast, and by far the most fun and funny and generally joyful Man of Steel movie I've seen.
I wrote MAGA's review of the woke "Superman" movie for them: "Because I believe in doing my own research, I decided to venture out of my Marxism-proof bunker and drive – in a gas-powered car, as God intended – to see what the libs had done to the Man of Steel."

I listened to warnings about the new 'Superman' movie from my friends at Fox News and others in the conservative fear-o-sphere. And still, I went.
