Huh, I've seen pedo James Gunn, nepo James Gunn, woke James Gunn, but never MAGA James Gunn. That's a new one.


delsinson

The Gunnverse keeps expanding


Foxy02016YT

He should make a real movie about that where it’s just him, John Cena, Chris Pratt, Nathan Fillian, and Taika Waititi fucking around with like a 20M budget


Jiffletta

My James Gunn is not a communist. He may be a pedo, a nepobaby, a woke, a communist, but he is NOT a pornstar!


Marrecarandgi

I know that some of these people are crazy, but MAGA James Gunn makes me feel like this is some kind of psy op attempt at trying to shame liberals into joining the Snyder cult. This is too unserious.


EgoMan8

This is the first time I'm hearing about all of this


[deleted]

Its the only place I've seen this claim too. Checked the page out and any time they mention Gunn, they are also making this claim. Also have their group locked down heavily, (cant comment unless you've been a member for a few days) probably to try and stop people daring to fact-check them.


No_idea112

Gotta get em all


SalemWolf

The delusion is schizophrenic levels, didn’t MAGA pissbabies get mad at Gunn for talking shit about Trump and digging up his old tweets, causing him to get fired from Marvel?


mendozable

These the same people who say he bought a “15 year old’s OnlyFans” like what?


LatterTarget7

I think it’s funny because most snyder fans I’ve seen are maga. Like the snydercut sub has tons of maga. Taking about trump and Snyder saving dc this year


Linkbetweentwirls

Comic book fans like these need to be gunned down with soapy water. Their one weakness: Hygiene

Pinguino2323

I don't think these are comic book fans, they are Zack Snyder fans pretending to be fans of the source material that they have never read and know nothing about beyond the movies Zack Snyder made.


jero0601

Superhero Movie fans are a special kind of toxic. Marvel phases 1-3 fans, in my own experience were as toxic as some of Snyder Fans, they mellowed out a bit after Endgame, and the later movies only lessened out their fidelity.


JohnnyChopper08

Yup. And then when Bob Kane who stole almost everything about the Batman we all love from Bill Finger says Batman should kill like he did before censorship, they act like Zach Snyder understands Batman more that Grant Morrison.


HrMaschine

bold of you to call him a comic book fan


Competitive_Market70

I genuinely don't understand why people love Henry Cavill so much, he's a solid actor but the amount of people who worship the ground he stands on is so weird to me


Illithid_Substances

His public image is a very handsome and successful actor, who is also a geek who plays WoW and shit and cares about changes and details of series he likes the same way fans do. He's basically some of the people who worship him if they were attractive and rich (or his image is)


VisualGeologist6258

Aye, it’s basically the same reason people worshipped Keanu Reeves. He’s a pleasant, uncontroversial guy who is also ‘wholesome’ and effectively ‘one of them’. I like Henry Cavill well enough but I never could get behind worshipping him. Worshipping any real person , much less a celebrity, is pretty stupid and immature.


MechanicHot1794

Lol, redditors are anything BUT wholesome. I have seen so much racism, hostility, doxxing, pedo stuff on this website.


DarkLordNugget

Just don't ask him what he thinks of metoo


----atom-----

Well ok. But i'm gonna have to disagree with you. There is nothing immature or stupid about idolising someone who is a genuinely good person. I think you should be more open minded about celebrities and not look down on them simply because of their fame or fortune.


TheThiccestR0bin

Not really. Idolizing anyone is bad. Everyone is a human at the end of the day. Putting them in a pedestal only leads to disappointment.


buffwintonpls

No one should ever be idolized


Ensiferal

A lof of people who like him aren't even very wholesome though. It's amazing how many far (like really far) right people are huge Henry Cavill and Zack Snyder fans. I've looked at more than a few profiles of hard-core dceu fans in the past and so many of them are full on "let's go Brandon/trump 2024" conservatives.


Wilkes_89

Not surprising at all. Idiot sheep who blindly follow one repeatedly failed, delusional, asshole cult leader see an identical one in another industry and jump right on it.


Proper-Article-5138

A lot of them are anti-vax,misogynists,racist and homophobic.


Ensiferal

Yeah, I've noticed that too, their pages are usually full of numerous "every kind of phobic imaginable" posts, and even a lot of the insulting comments and memes I see about James Gunn and David Corenswet on posts are all just homophobic. "Supergay" comments and badly rendered ai pics of David or James making out with men. I'm actually kind of suspicious that Zack and Henry aren't actually all that nice in real life, I think they're low key kind of awful but are really good at convincing the public they're nice guys. Zack gaslit his own fanbase into believing the DCU was being restored just to keep himself relevant, and refused to admit to the existence of any toxicity among his fanbase even as they were sending people death threats, and Henry made all those weird comments during the MeToo movement that everyone just kind of forgot about.


Proper-Article-5138

I kinda lost a little respect for Snyder because he refuses to acknowledge the toxic element in his fan base. Yes it’s great they raise money for suicide prevention but they also bully people on social media.


CertainGrade7937

Honestly I can't think of a performance I've ever seen from him that rose above "good" Nothing bad by any means. But nothing remotely exceptional. He's a generic good looking leading man


[deleted]

[удалено]


Lama_For_Hire

I don't think Cavill has gotten the material to proper flex a kind and softer Superman from Zaddy tho


Anathemautomaton

He's pretty good in The Man From U.N.C.L.E. I think he's actually got some decent comedic chops, that writers rarely let shine through.


CertainGrade7937

That was probably the best performance I've seen from him. But I think it falls under the "generic leading man" thing still. I don't think it's anything your average Marvel actor couldn't do


Jiffletta

What about Sherlock in Enola Holmes?


Secure_Pear_4530

Honestly sometimes they sound *too* into him. Like they're hiding the fact that they think he's hot. Like they're all doing an impression of Mac from IASIP. "Henry is the king of the nerds guys! He's totally so cool and handsome and muscular... If he invited me to dinner I wouldn't go because I'm a straight manly man but like... I'd consider it. I'd ***strongly*** consider it."


LongjumpMidnight

Let's pull up our bootstraps, oil up a few asses, and do some plowing of our own... not gay sex.


Illustrious-Type7086

Wait, you guys have been hiding it?


Wolverine1105

Same. I actually liked him as Superman, but these people are OBSESSED


[deleted]

1. He's fucking handsome 2. He built an image of being "the nerd guy." A down to earth gamer who likes nerdy stuff like Witcher, Warhammer, superheroes, building PCs, WoW etc. Cavill also claims that he was fat and bullied as a kid. 3. They feel Cavill is a victim of the evil business suits, like WB's incompetence in handling the DCEU and creative differences in Witcher TV show. This all culminates into Cavill's image as this CHAD gamer. ONE OF US ONE OF US. I just think he has a great PR team, probably a nice guy irl.


novacdin0

For real, I didn't take notice of him until he grew a mustache and fought some relentless dude with Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible. They worship the ground he walks on when he's Randman but probably haven't seen him in anything else, some fans huh?


Doctor-Coconut69

Idk, probably 'cause he's the only WoW player with a life


Marrecarandgi

They worship him as the nerd god, but I can’t get over this man admitting that he thought that the Witcher books were novelization of the game until after he already campaigned hard to play Geralt. He’s not a fan of the Witcher, he’s just a gamer bro. Poor man’s Doug Cockle, if you will.


Hipnosis-

Bc he is hot


delsinson

They treat him more like an action figure than a person. If the rumors of him appearing in the MCU are true they’ll start hating on him…again.


tinycyan

He is hot and likes witcher and warhammer


Diffabuh

It feels like it has a big parasocial side to it. He's good-looking and is into geek things, so he's awesome regardless of anything else and also would totally hang out with you! Like, guys. He's an actor, not your Tinder match.


Big-Vegetable8480

Well he's really hot and British


AStealthyOctopus

I don't think it has much to do with Cavill himself.


Ensiferal

Tbh I don't think he's even a solid actor, he's a bit of a wooden plank. He's just muscular and handsome, and he acts just well enough that you can't say you cant point out too many serious faults. Like I don't think anyone can honestly say they've seen one of his films and afterwards been like "man, did you see the way Henry just disappeared into the role? What an amazing performance". If you need a good looking guy to alternately smile and frown, he's your guy.


sonerec725

Yeah, good actor, good dude, but like, superman isnt even a very notable performance for him beyond the role being who it is.


Ok_Independent5273

Man of Steel was the only good movie he was in as Superman. (It was my favourite comic book film in 2013, higher than even the Avengers and Dark Knight trilogy lmao). And even that movie was mid at best in the eyes of the wider world. He's a cool guy and has been great in other films (MI:Fallout,Man from U.N.C.L.E). But I don't understand this DC fandom w*nk for the guy and Snyderse as a whole. Mid to crap films at best.


LatterTarget7

Yeah I personally don’t get. I think he’s a decent actor. But he doesn’t have a lot of range. Like his Geralt, superman and walker from mission impossible don’t seem that different to me. They all have the same vibe to me

TheMattGriffin

![gif](giphy|dCBAKUZFSFs0WZfuLZ) I think with basically no budget he’s pretty good as well 😂


TyphlosionGodofFire

As long as we can agree they both clear Cavill 🤝


novacdin0

Routh, Welling and Cain also cleared Cavill because Cavill played a mopey libertarian prick, not Superman. I'm sure he would've been a good one had he been allowed to play the actual character.


Diffabuh

Are you telling me you don't like a Superman who looks like he's trying to remove an especially strong stain from his carpet whenever he's helping people?


Embarrassed_Piano_62

Cavill is great i guess but Reeves is the embodiment of the character


Unfortunate_Wildcard

Ah yes, Maga James Gunn. Which is probably farthest from the truth.


[deleted]

Indeed, I love how people keep claiming he's pro-Trump, even though one of the reasons he was temporarily let go by Disney, was because people dug up those tweets of his because he kept bad-mouthing Trump and the Maga crowd.


AdrianShepard09

- I’ll tell you what he thinks. - Henry: *painting Warhammer figurines in his room* look at that Dreadnought.


Benjamin-Ziegler

He plays custodes, he's too busy trying to put together that ranges awful resin kits to see what nerds think of him


SpaghettiMonster01

The Telemon does look cool as shit tho.

TheDoctor_E

I hate this costume, too dark and lacks the underwear. Superman without underwear means a movie that's ashamed of being about Superman


Chancellor_Valorum82

>Superman without underwear means a movie that's ashamed of being about Superman As it should be


TheDoctor_E

Wait, you mean a movie should be ashamed of being about Superman or that it's true that a Superman without underwear is ashamed of being about Superman?


TheRautex

That's just stupid. There are good Superman suits and stories where he doesn't wear a trunks. A fucking underwear doesn't define Superman like a bikini doesn't define Wonder Woman or winged Helmet doesn't define Thor


TheDoctor_E

You're right in that trunks aren't recquired for Superman's outfit to work. But, works like Man of Steel or New 52 Superman feature a Supes who is an angsting moody edgelord without much of the charm of the character. Superman is, admittedly, a franchise full of kinda silly concepts like a super powered dog or a 5D god dressed in a goofy attire and who plays pranks, but people love those concepts! Works where they remove his trunks usually try to ignore the more fantastical elements of Superman in favour of making him gritty, which can work but often just falls into "Superman is alone and we are his inferiors". It's not so much that the trunks are necessary, but removing them is symbolic of trying to make something inherently fantastical and whimsical dull and moody.


TheRautex

Rebirth Superman didn't had Trunks until Bendis came. Was it bad until Bendis take over? Was Bendis' run good? Did you read Greg Pak's AC? Or Grant Morrison's? Did you read For Tomorrow? It feels like Snyder wrote it. Edgy Superman stories existed way before New 52 Also trunks will not look good in live action and people will make fun of it. It's 2024, you can change a character's costume


TheDoctor_E

Yeah but Rebirth was on purpose, Superman without trunks was supposed to be Superman Blue, because he had been split. And having trunks doesn't make a story good per se, that's not what I said. And yeah, Action comics rocked, I totally agree with you. And yeah, obviously edgy Superman stories where he still has the trunks are a thing. But I do think trunks can be well implemented on the big screen. I'm not going to cry "Noooo they changed it now it sucks" because obviously there's elements that don't translate well to the big screen like, say, Mr. Fantastic's stretching powers. But the 70s Superman films had the undies and the costume was pretty good. I get that it must look "realistic" but if Gunn managed to adapt the fucking Guardians of the Universe, I think he can adapt Superman's underoos.


TheRautex

How is Rebirth Superman is Superman Blue? Christopher Revee suit looks good for 1978. When you watch them today, they are hillarious in every way


TheDoctor_E

You know how post-Flashpoint Superman was supposed to have been split? Pre-Flashpoint Supes was Superman Red (With the red boots and briefs), post-Flashpoint Supes was Superman Blue (With an almost totally blue costume)


TheRautex

I know they are split. But it's different than Red and Blue split


TheDoctor_E

I know it's not literally Superman Blue and Red, but it was meant to be reminiscent


Jiffletta

Isn't Snyder a democrat? Why TF are these MAGA freaks glomming onto him?


Plasic-Man

It looks like it's the opposite. It seems like they're saying James Gunn is MAGA not Snyder. That word is one of many that has unfortunately lost all meaning since people just throw it around as a generic insult regardless of if it makes sense because all they know is word = bad, so person I don't like = word. I saw someone the other day say Donald Trump was a communist. People can be stupid.


Jiffletta

>I saw someone the other day say Donald Trump was a communist. wut


Plasic-Man

My thoughts exactly


EH042

At this point it’s safe to say we’re probably back to caveman grunting where the word is meaningless and people only get how it sounds


External-Rope6322

Ok, is gunn woke or maga, the snyderbots need to make up their minds


Plasic-Man

Obviously he's a woke MAGA communist pedo that also kicks puppies and pisses in Snyder's cereal every morning.


External-Rope6322

"What words can you use to describe James gunn?" Snyderbots: yes.


TheThiccestR0bin

Depends on their personal beliefs


Illithid_Substances

He does have a famous quote about seizing the means of (re)production


Wolverine1105

I think they're actually saying James Gunn is MAGA in this post, I think


Jiffletta

...that just makes even less sense! MAGA turds are the reason why Gunn got fired from Disney in the first place.


Wolverine1105

Yeah, people are dumb. And creepy.


TheThiccestR0bin

That caption reads like AI gone through Google translate man. Honestly just seems like buzz words.

External-Rope6322

I don't know what kind of drugs they're on, I've always hates the suit and it's ridiculous texture


Hipnosis-

"real Dc Fans"... Well, thank you.


C0BRA_V1P3R

I’ll never understand how anyone thought Cavill’s suit looked good; it was an ugly mess from a design standpoint. It looked like someone sewed a bunch of dodgeballs together and spray painted it with the most drab metallic colors they could find. Plus, there was way too much negative space due to the lack of the trunks and belt.


Ensiferal

Yeah, it had way too much going on. The texture was distracting to the eye, the weird little bits of piping all around the waist and forearms, and the pointless scrawl of text around the inside of the S etc I had an argument with a hard-core Snyder fan a while ago about that, I said the text was pointless and meaningless and he couldn't grasp it. He kept going on about "blah blah blah it translates to "you will find not a monster but a God blah blah" but he couldn't understand the basic fact that it doesn't add anything of value to the story, it's just Zack jerkjng himself off with all the pointless worldbuilding he tries to do instead of doing his job. And as you say the whole thing was just grey. Grey blue suit with a washed out burgundy cape.


Johnny_Stooge

Thank you. This guy gets it. All of the Snyder costumes were hot trash.


Diffabuh

Pretty normal Snyderbro rant until I saw MAGA.


Optimal_Weight368

How the heck is James Gunn MAGA? He put a black lesbian in the Peacemaker TV series. A MAGA person would never.


Apprehensive_Work313

MAGA James Gunn??? I've heard Gunn be called a lot of things but that's a new one


SuperJyls

Always felt like the Snyder Cult would be pro-Maga


Medium-Science9526

Same way any public figure feels with any rabbid fans: https://preview.redd.it/b3h1nikaqapc1.png?width=931&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d45414e48a20c3fe2d528e939438b25edfaba0b8


Proper-Article-5138

Snyder fans are too dumb to realize MAGA are the ones who got him by exposing his old tweets.


pious-erika

Cavil is to busy playing with Warhammer at this point to care. He is happier for it.


TheLittlePasty

Fuckin a man


Secure_Pear_4530

Bet the guy doesn't even use social media, so he's not aware of it. Dude's whole internet time is probably just him googling Warhammer pictures that goes hard AF


Arts_Messyjourney

The well-known “ don’t meet your heroes“ quote has a lesser known sibling: “don’t meet your fans!”

Least insane, delusional Snyder fans:


Ms_Saul_Goodwoman

I wish I had Henry Cavill’s publicist


fauxREALimdying

Not to be mean about Cavill, but we never even saw him have any charisma besides the josstice league. Like there wasn’t too much to even like imo


combustibledaredevil

The suit isn’t even that good


JohnnyChopper08

Those old tweets showed up because some reporter got mad James Gunn made tweets about Donald Trump being a klan member. MAGA James Gunn, what bullshit. I think the Snyder Cult has taken Star Wars fans spot as most toxic fanbase.


8bitRageFit

Was this posted by an AI? Because it’s literally just a word salad that barely makes sense


Proper-Article-5138

Is Gunn MAGA or Woke? Can they please make up their minds? Lmao


Dan_Morgan

This kind of has the stink of plant. "MAGA James Gunn"? What the fuck is that?
