    I haven’t seen it, but I think it’s pretty apparent in the trailer. Superman is supermaning, and modern powers, both real and fictional, don’t like that.

      “Superman has somehow become the focal point of the entire world’s attention and I cannot accept that.”

      Damn, Lex Luther is even more an Elon Musk type in this movie huh?

        Saw it last night, and yes. Lex had more than one scene inspired by actual Musk actions.

        Which is a shame, because classic Luthor had extremely valid concerns about ceding ultimate power to someone you can’t take it back away from. He used to be one of the most sensible “villains” I knew of.

      I can’t actually watch videos especially trailer types with lots of movement due to a disability. So was wondering if anyone had a text based interpretation.

        The president of the USA is mad at Superman for stopping a hypermodern army from destroying brown people and stealing their land

        Saw the flick yesterday. Honestly the conflict isn’t meant to represent Israel Palestine. The invading country speaks Russian. There have been so many conflicts throughout history where a nation with substantial military power invades a neighbor that has pitiful defense capabilities. That whole part of the story has more to do with criticism of the military industrial complex than any real world conflict.

              A lot of the prominent members of terrorist paramilitaries that later formed tzahal were from r*ssian empire a lot of theorists as well, specifically from territory of modern Ukraine mostly due to “pale of settlement” policy of the empire. I think that’s what gp hinted at (don’t know what language they spoke predominantly, mostly yiddish I think).
