if they really go through with making superman black, 1) it better be a really good movie 2) im so here for the absolute coming meltdown of having *the* most iconic superhero being a black man. HERE. FOR. IT. hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-n…
me, when superman is black:
"yes hes a fictional hero from an imaginary planet with made-up powers and a secret identity that doesn't really make much sense but HE CAN'T BE BLACKKKKKK"
every black nerd when superman is black
there is canonical precedent for a black superman, but even clark kent can be black. there's no reason he can't be. superman.fandom.com/wiki/Calvin_El…
me, when someone says theyre casting a black superman
"you think the cape is your ally? you merely adopted the cape. i was born in it, molded by it."
my dogs, C.K. (rip) and Kal-El. i don't come to this superman stuff lightly.

Under #PresidentBiden, jobless claims are COLLAPSING! Americans are WORKING AGAIN, they're getting POWERFUL VACCINES and the country is OPENING UP!! Biden is STRONGLY leading America out of the economic COLLAPSE and is MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!! #maba#jobs#jerbs ⭐️⭐️⭐️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
"A strong man, powerful man, this is a big guy, very rough, ok? Very rough guy, he comes up to me and says 'Sir, I don't think the jobless claims will go down, sir.' And I looked him in the eye and I said 'it will.' And now look at it it is powerfully down."
"And now the claims are down, I mean way down, wow they've never been more down before they're saying the down is unprecedented. And this man, a strong guy okay? He comes up to me, tears streaming down his face, and he says, 'Thank you sir, we got our country back, sir.' True."
the old Superman serial w Kirk Alyn is... not great. but I’m a Superman obsessive so I’ve seen several of them. Now the old radio shows are GREAT. You can hear them on YouTube.
I used to have them on audio tape. Did I mention I’m OBSESSED w Superman? 😝
does he stand for truth? justice? then #BlackSuperman is superman. because those are the only key tenets required to be superman.
doomed planet?
sent to earth from a galaxy far away?
faster than a speeding bullet?
more powerful than a locomotive?
that is superman.
if you're upset that superman is black, then you are not a real superman fan. you don't get it. you don't understand him and what he stands for. because that is the core of superman. #BlackSuperman
other companies should adopt facebook's absurd oversight board kabuki theater
"The Council of McDonalds has decided, Bob. You CAN have extra mayo on your burger. But only medium fries and a Coke. The Council's findings are final."
"The findings of the Arby's Tribunal are as follows: We do have sufficient stores of meats."
"In the matter of Jenkins v Fries, the Wendys Court of Appeals rules in favor of the defendant."
Facebook “oversight” board is a made for media thing like the rose ceremony on the bachelor. It’s a magic trick from Zuckerberg.
And the reason Facebook is doing it is cause these magic tricks work on the mainstream media. It’s how George W Bush got his war in Iraq and how Trump killed 500k with covid. It works.
People hold on to this absurd notion that some day the press is going to get better. And it just keeps getting worse. I dunno how to wake folks up. Pollyanna Plague.
