“Fun” fact: Britain was directly involved in the establishment of Israel after WW1 by “administering” Palestine and immigrating Jewish refugees there.
By the time they left in 1948, they had helped establish the state of Israel on what was Palestinian territory.
In other words, colonialism bad.

I've always thought being an author only applied to writing novels (which I'd like to do though not exclusively), but it can be more than that.
Being an author is being the creator of an original work, whether it's textual, visual, audial, etc.
I want, and have always wanted, to be an author.

I didn't specifically want to work in game production. What I'm striving towards in games, I can also get in movies, shows, podcasts and other multimedia formats.
I was also super into the worldbuilding of franchises like Marvel, DC, W40K, FNAF, etc.
That's when it clicked: I want to be an author.

If by “woke” they mean “delves into the ways in which people dehumanise each other for sociopolitical gain”, then yeah it’s super woke.
And it is amazing nonetheless. I love the movie.
People call things “woke” as an insult or criticism, but I don’t think they even know what they mean by that.

(Don’t think I need to clarify this but I will anyway because someone will try to stump me on this: Superman is not there to destroy the world.)

This is why I decided to pursue a degree in game production. Games are awesome mediums for storytelling, apparently so now that BAFTA recognises them in their nominations and awards.
I hope to one day produce a game (or some piece of media) that delivers the same affection as these movies.

Everything I've said about the movie here is brilliantly weaved into the plot, and that is something a lot of superhero movies today miss the mark on: storytelling.
Storytelling is more than just a sequence of events. We tell stories to communicate ideas and share wisdom.

The movie provides an answer that I love.
Regardless of what it means to be human, what it means to be good or bad, we make choices. Choices have consequences, and those choices are what we're known for.
To put it simply, actions speak louder than words. We lead by example instead of testimony.

And so it begs the question: what does it mean to be human?
This question is incredibly open-ended, and the answers are super subjective. Is it biological? Is it neurological? Is it ideological? Is it even any of those things? Answers vary, and it's often the core of a lot of sociopolitical debate.

Superman may not be of Earth, but he represents virtues a lot of us strive to have: kindness, compassion, responsibility, peace, unity, and more.
People like Luthor don't care about those. They see it as weak and wasteful. The only thing that matters to them is power because that keeps you on top.

Luthor has an agenda. He kidnaps and kills in the name of his goal, and he knows Superman stands against that. So what does Luthor do?
He dehumanises Superman.
He points out that he's an alien; that he is not human; that his power is dangerously unregulated; that he is here to destroy the world.

The story of Superman in this film touches on a topic that is super important today: what does it mean to be human?
Nowadays, people are constantly dehumanised to fulfil some kind of social, economic, or political agenda. It brings about prejudice, discrimination, displacement, assault, and death.

And all those claims that it’s “woke”, total bullshit. Right-wing media commentators recognise the parallel between Trump and Luthor, and to admit Luthor is the villain would require them to recognise the same traits in Trump (which they refuse to do).
They are glaringly delusional.
