My controversial therapist opinion is that kinks are part of human nature and you should be able to express those in an appropriate environment without shame or judgement.

Stop shaming sexuality and desire and be repressed in your own time, don’t project it onto others.

It’s true and you should say it.

For those who don’t know about Mr Terrific’s backstory (at least from comic lore) Mr Terrific is a genius who could have had an empire to rival Lexcorp but was overwhelmed by grief after the death of his wife and unborn child.

Mr Terrific might be cold and even unfriendly to most people looking on but he’s dealing with a pain that would break most people and has somehow managed to get it together enough to become a superhero.

He’s able to recognise the love of Superman and Lois because he’s felt it and lost it.

He might cover it with bravado (it’ll piss off Guy) but I like to think it’s because he’s felt deep grief didn’t want to see Lois lose the man she loves because he knows that loss.

Thinking about how Mr. Terrific says he doesn’t do other peoples’ emotions, but he’s also the only one to treat Clark with any sort of gentleness when he finds out the truth of his parents’ message and while he’s clearly done as fuck when he hears Krypto is coming along, he doesn’t tell Clark it was a bad idea and when he realizes that Lois is going to storm the base no matter what he goes along not just because, as he jokes, it would piss Guy off but also because she is a civilian, and Clark may not be part of their team but he still respects him even though he thinks he’s naïve, and he knows if they don’t do anything about Clark then Kendra might be next and also a pocket universe is a really bad idea.

Just the fact that he’s such an embodiment of a hero doing something because it’s the right thing to do, even if his “right” looks a little different from Clark’s.

This scene will never not be funny to me.

Although we have had comic book movies for decades now this is the first cbm that isn’t trying to be like wink wink, this is all very silly isn’t it?

Superman 25 just walks in and says we have nearly 90 years of comic history. Pick an issue from any run. This is us, sometimes it’s emotional, sometimes it’s all drama and action and sometimes it’s dumber than a bag of rocks but it’s fucking me.

I love it so much.

Best part of Superman 2025 is that it’s not embarrassed to be a silly comic book movie. No toned down costumes no wry “get a load of THIS stupid ass capeshit” asides to the audience they said this is completely earnest. Yes he wears the trunks yes there’s a kaiju yes he has a flying dog yes he is one hundred and fifty percent unironically a big cornball boy scout yes he will break the sound barrier to rescue a single squirrel. “but realistically that’s not how it w—” NO! this is superman bitch, you WILL believe a man can fly

Can i say something problematique for terminally online millenials and people born after that point: I think the seeming lack of ability or willingness to call one another and chat on the phone with friends unprompted or out of the blue contributes to whatever hellish loneliness everyone is talking about feeling these days. Say what you want about boomers and old people but those guys mostly knew how to keep in touch with each other. Idk man call a bitch today

I swear people need to watch Mrs Maisel as Rachel Brosnahan makes me feel all tingly and when I heard she was the new Lois Lane I was like finally, this is the pairing my bi arse has been waiting on since 99’s The Mummy.

Somehow, Corenswet actually does look like two different people when playing Clark Kent and Superman.

He has the two personas of journalist Clark Kent and that of Superman and then his real self. You can see his authentic self coming through when he is with Lois and his parents. It’s subtle but really well done.

Superman literally cockblocked himself.

Might not have been a good idea to say yes to the interview while making out...the blood was not in your brain my friend...

The reason for the "twist" in Superman 25

I've seen a lot of posts from folk upset about the twist regarding Supes birth parents who may or may not be space fash. My take is that there’s a lot of humanistic psychology under the hood in Superman 25 trying to explain what makes a person good and how that can inspire others but lets try and simplify this. The reason for the twist with Jor-El and Lara Lor Van in my view is very simple. Goodness is not genetic, its learned and the Superman we see got his "goodness" from his adoptive parents rather than his birth parents. The parents who did the heavy lifting into making Clark Kent/Superman the good man that he is despite all of the power he has was the Kents, it was not his Kryptonian parents. I don’t doubt Kal-El's birth parents loved him and wanted to protect him despite their potential failings, but they didn’t raise him to be Superman and arguably they perhaps weren't capable of doing that.

The Kent’s did, that’s why you don’t get a Brightburn or Homelander. Even if he didn't have powers, Clark Kent would be a good man thanks to the care of the Kent's and that is the point to help viewers see that things could have gone terribly wrong for the world if not for two good, kind and giving farmers from Kansas who took an orphan in.

I love that Mr Terrific’s expression tells you everything about how he feels about riding on the back of a flying dog.

Saving the city is just an average Tuesday. Riding on the back of an alien dog? Now that’s something different.

I feel that we don’t talk enough about Mr Terrific flying on Krypto's back

This had me laughing so hard! Like whoever thought, "We should definitely have Mr. Terrific ride Krypto like a rocket.", thank you. You were 100% correct.

This is the post folks. For all his powers, Superman can't be everywhere. The point is to inspire others for a better tomorrow and that can't rest on one man even if he has super powers.

SUPERMAN SPOILERS

Some people are mad that Superman didn’t show up in that scene and that we got Guy instead, and I feel like they’re missing the point a little.

It’s true, Superman couldn’t get there himself, but he inspired someone else to help where he couldn’t. He inspired someone with the power to help to help. Superman is about hope and inspiring people to do good simply because it’s good, and that is what this scene is about. A good deed that sparked the action of another.

Also, yeah it’s Guy Gardner who shows up, and I know we like to shit on Guy but he’s genuinely a good lantern, that’s like his whole thing.

Edit: Here is the link to the Guy arriving at Jarhanpur for those who want to see it.

terfs would lose their minds if they were exposed to 2000s-2010s "a girl can do anything a boy can do, including beating them at sports" messaging like why are you all acting like nobody has ever said this and that it's radical to think that women aren't inherently worse at things. open your mind. read some feminist theory. touch some grass. the most basic banal middle-class white woman feminism of the 2010s looks fucking radical and visionary compared to the misogynistic victimization complex y'all are peddling

28 Years Later's Dr Kelson

‼️‼️WARNING FOR SPOILERS BELOW‼️‼️ When Alex Garland and Danny Boyle work together, they rarely disappoint and with 28 years Later I think they have introduced one of my favourite characters in horror and modern media with 28 Years Later's Dr Kelson. He is a rare glimmer of kindness in the rage ravaged world of the UK post virus and quarantine and a subversion of the mad doctor trope we see all too often. Despite the world descending into madness around him, he remains committed to do no harm, and is still able to see the humanity and tragedy behind the rage of every infected. While others have in some ways regressed in their drive to survive quarantine and the violence of the infected, losing their empathy and humanity in the process, he is a beacon of decency in an indecent time. It would be so easy to cast aside his principles and many would argue that you would need to in order to survive, but Dr Kelson appears to be proof that even in unimaginable horror and suffering, we can and should fight to retain our empathy and humanity. It would be easy in the world of 28 Years Later to forget the people behind the dead, the lives and their stories untold infected and uninfected alike, by stepping over them and giving them no thought. In this world, all the rituals of grieving lost as the dead are left to rot where they fall. But Kelburn has dedicated himself to the thankless and unending task of remembrance and we see its horrifying scale with Kelson's Bone temple. One body at time he affords the dead what dignity he can, despite his limited means. Kelson has nothing but the remains of the dead, whether infected or uninfected, to memorialise them with, and he seems to treat it like a solemn duty. I can see others interpreting Kelson gathering the bones and creating his memorial as a form of ownership, but this belief is mistaken. The bones don't belong to Kelson; they belong to the memories of those who are gone so they can be remembered. It belongs to all those who are gone It belongs to all those who survived. It is a monument to all the pain, tragedy and suffering that both the living and the dead have had to endure in the world that we see in 28 Years Later. Even if the names, the past, and those who loved them are gone, the people who are now only bones aren't forgotten or lost to tragedy, pain and misery. Their bones are a monument that they lived, loved and were loved in return and they are remembered. In these post covid times, with so many lost, that hits hard.

um guys, I think we need to stop waiting for ‘the right time’ and just start doing the things we want whenever because the right time’s never gonna come, and if we keep waiting it’s just gonna turn into an endless cycle
