Yeah, I hated this. I know it's not the first time a writer has gone in that direction with the Els, but I've hated it in all of those other instances as well. The sacrifice and hard decision Jor and Lara had to make when they sent their baby out on his own to Earth doesn't hit when they sent him to conquer it.

Admittedly, I have not seen the film yet but it just made me wonder if someone (Gunn himself?) liked Dragonball.

This is kind of funny to me because when I saw the movie I just went "oh the engineer manipulated it and people on earth can't tell because her / Lex Luthor's technology is that advanced". (I mean. Wouldn't it be so heavily damaged/restored also be considered editing? It's not like it's a pristine original no matter how you slice it.) So yeah it sucked that Superman's faith in his birth parents was shaken but I just figured that it was an editing thing, especially once the ending just casually tosses his cousin in (did she not get her own instructions, or were they ALSO damaged/destroyed?)

So finding out via this secret that that's apparently supposed to be what his parents ACTUALLY said is just. lmfao. that's stupid. but a lot of things about the movie were kind of dumb. a fun watch though.

A lot of fans seem to still think the footage is doctored or that the Supergirl movie will refute it, but I've read interviews from Gunn where he just seemed perplexed that some people didn't buy it. Apparently Mr. Terrific also confirming its validity is the hint to the audience that it's real.

[(Anonymous)]

Didn't he only say that "experts" examined it, not that he himself confirmed it? Like he's shown to be pretty knowledgeable in what he does, so if what he does was also verifying video, sure. When it's "these other people said it" and a big part of the movie is the media getting the wrong take on things.........I think Gunn shot himself in the foot here lol

I am a million years behind everyone else so only saw this film yesterday and this is the one part I'm not sure about. Loved the rest. Just wasn't sure about this. I mean...I like that Clark's faith in the first half of the message and Ma and Pa Kent meant that he wasn't ever going to agree with the apparent second half of the message. The rest of the film was so hopeful and lovely when it came to Superman's love for being among humans but... yeah I know the comics play around with this concept too, I just don't think it's for me.

I thought it might have been manipulated by Luthor too but I'm stunned to learn no, it's real and we were meant to see it as real!

Zod wouldn't have wanted to spare any humanity, tbf. He'd consider breeding with humans an unacceptable pollution of Krytonian genes. The Els saw some value in us, so it's not a one-for-one comparison.

However, even that might be a distinction without a difference.

So, (a) I don't care it's totally possible there was missing data/mistranslated sentiments* in play; but more interestingly (b) Krypton deserves to be taken down a peg or two and I love this approach. Like, this is a culture where Zod gained power, that might or might not have developed Brainiac, that fucked up its planet so hard it exploded, where even the best scientist and most loving parents only thought of saving their own baby (and niece, as a babysitter). Kyrpton's got some big issues, and it makes total sense to me that even good, loving, parents would have some fucked up colonialist views of the shitty little backwater planet they found for their son. I mean, gawd Jor, they don't even use *crystals*.

Also it ties too neatly with the weird behavior of the robots (stating they aren't people and don't have feelings when they clearly do) AND it's a new spin I've never seen before (I wouldn't want it to become mainstream canon, but I wouldn't hate it either) AND it was a good twist I didn't see coming AND it highlights the central theme that we are who we are by our choices and actions. Just :chef's kiss:

I'm fond of it <3
