James Gunn's #Superman is the better hangout movie. Colorful, earnest, funny, engineered to send you out of the movie theater on a sugar high. #ManofSteel is the better Superman movie, cuz it understood the one thing Gunn's film only flirted with: Superman is not a nice guy in a cape. He's a god raised by farmers, a walking identity crisis, a moral burdened with heat vision. Snyder made him consequential. Gunn made him cute.

Where Gunn built a comic book playground, Snyder built a myth with migraines. That's the difference. Man of Steel treats Superman's existence like an event that would rupture history, religion, politics & human psychology. Of course the world would be terrified. Of course he would be lonely. Becoming Superman isn't a matter of putting on a cape. It's accepting a life sentence. That film asks what it would actually cost to be a hope in a species that treats hope like a clerical error.
