00:00Yo, fellow K-Pen Cowl enthusiast. Grab your coffee, settle into that cozy cafe booth,

00:07and let's dive into Superman, 2025, like we're dissecting the latest manga drop-over lattes.

00:14Directed by James Gunn, this flick kicks off with our boy Clark Kent slash Superman,

00:19David Corinswet, oozing charm, three years into his hero gig.

00:24No origin story slog, bam, we're in Antarctica, where Supes crash-lands after a mystery metahuman

00:30whups him good. Enter Crypto the Superdog, inspired by Gunn's pup Ozu, stealing hearts with chaotic pup

00:38energy, dragging him to the Fortress of Solitude for a solar recharge. Hot on their heels is Angela

00:44Spica slash the Engineer, Maria Gabriela de Faria, a tech genius working for Lex Luthor,

00:50Nicholas Holt, serving sleek, obsessive billionaire vibes.

00:55The plot's a rollercoaster, Superman's been playing World Cop, halting Baravia's invasion

01:00of Jarhanpur and scolding their pres Vasil Gurkos, Zlatko Burek. But Lex is orchestrating a smear

01:07campaign, using fake news and staged disasters to paint Supes as a threat. Woke culture creeps in

01:14here, Lex's media machine pushes inclusivity rhetoric to mask his agenda, like calling out

01:19Superman 4, overstepping, cultural boundaries while saving lives, which feels like a sly nod

01:25to real-world social debates. A kaiju-sized distraction, think Godzilla on roids, hits

01:31Metropolis as Lex's goons raid the Fortress. Supes teams up with the, Justice Gang, bankrolled

01:38by shady Maxwell Lord, Sean Gunn's snarky guy Gardner slash Green Lantern, Nathan Fillion,

01:44rocking that bowl cut, fierce Kendra Saunders slash Hawk Girl, Isabella Merced, wings and

01:49attitude, tech-savvy Michael Holt slash Mr. Terrific, Eddie Gathagy, Gadget King, and

01:55shape-shifting Rex Mason slash Metamorpho, Anthony Kerrigan, flexing elemental powers.

02:02Big moments hit like emotional kryptonite. A corrupted message from Jor-El and Lara, Bradley

02:08Cooper and Angela Serafian, twists their words into a conquest vibe, shaking Supes' identity.

02:15He surrenders to the feds, landing in Lex's pocket universe prison, where he meets Metamorpho and

02:20saves a baby, high stakes. Lois Lane, Rachel Brosnahan, fierce as ever, grills him on ethics

02:28in a tense interview, weaving in woke talking points about power and privilege that challenge

02:32his savior complex. Jimmy Olsen, Skylar Gisando, brings levity, crushing on Lex's aide Eve Teshmacher,

02:41Sarah Sampaio, while digging up dirt. The climax? A reality rift tears Metropolis apart,

02:48Borovia invades again, and Supes faces Ultraman, his drone-controlled clone, Corn Sweat again,

02:55chillingly armored. The Justice Gang rallies, Hawk Girl makes a rogue kill, and Superman reaffirms his

03:02goodness. A teaser with a boozed-up Kara Zor-El slash Supergirl, Millie Alcock, stumbling in with

03:09crypto sets up the DCU. Vibe check. It's hope versus cynicism, like all-star Superman meets

03:16Guardians of the Galaxy's quirky energy, with a dash of social commentary. The woke influence,

03:23Lex's media tactics and Lois ethical jabs, adds a modern edge, but it's subtle enough not to derail

03:29the truth and justice core. Action's epic, emotions are raw, and crypto's antics keep it light.

03:37It's a binge-worthy comic arc come to life. Let's nerd out on the aesthetics, Gunn makes this comic

03:43book pop in live action. Shot in IMAX by Henry Braham, Guardians Vol. 3 Vibes, the film's scale is

03:51massive. Superman's new suit, trunks included, Kingdom Come style, pops with vibrant blues and

03:58reds against Metropolis' sleek skyline and the icy fortress, filmed in Norway's Svalbard for that alien

04:04chill. Stefan Seretti's VFX team nails the Kaiju rampage with practical effects from legacy effects

04:11blending into CGI, destruction feels real. Crypto's expressive animations are a highlight,

04:18that pup's mischievous grin steals every scene. John Murphy's score, remixing John Williams'

04:24classic theme, hits nostalgic and heroic notes perfectly. Woke culture shows up visually too,

04:31diverse casting, Merced, Gathagi, Defaria, reflects an inclusive Metropolis, and the Justice

04:37Gang's varied backgrounds nod to representation without feeling forced. Billboards in Metropolis

04:44flash progressive slogans, mirroring Lex's manipulative PR stunts, which adds a satirical bite.

04:50But here's the nudge, some CGI in ensemble fights feels rushed, Hawkgirl's wings clip awkwardly,

04:57and the rift in reality effect is chaotic, almost obscuring the action.

05:02Borovaya slash Jarhanpur sets lack cultural depth, feeling like generic war zones when a touch of woke

05:08inspired world building could have enriched them. The Pocket Universe prison's warped visuals are trippy,

05:14but the woke-leaning dialogue, Lois privilege lectures, occasionally feels heavy-handed,

05:20like a Tumblr post snuck into the script. Still, the hopeful, hug-worthy Superman, those hypnotic

05:27glasses, and comic-accurate art direction keep it gorgeous. Sipping that latte, I'm buzzing from

05:33Superman, 2025. Gun destroys Superman by deconstructing his godlike image, crafting a flawed, relatable hero

05:42who chooses kindness in a cynical, woke-charged world.
