Worst Superman says what?

I don't think everyone has to have read the original source material to enjoy something made from that material.

But if you're going to complain about it being faithful to the source material? Naw, that's in no way legit.

Well, the migratory status isn't really been the issue with migrants, legal or not. Ethnicity in other hand...

He couldn't be possibly have been created by Immigrants /s

Looks up Joe Shuster birth place... Toronto, Ontario, Canada with his mother being from Ukraine

Looks up Jerry Siegel parents were from Lithuania

Hell looking up their parents if superman couldn't be an Immigrant he would be a Soviet.

Also Dean Cain has always been a has been loser for a long time now.

We're still getting Dean Cain's opinion on things? Whoever wrote this article could have avoided all the torture by ignoring that Christofascist xenophobe like the rest of us.

Who? The only things I recall about that show were real, and were spectacular.

Dean Cain is a "has been". He hasn't been on anything important in decades.

Yeah well I’m calling Dean Cain a little bitch.

[–] lostoncalantha@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

I’m sorry who is Dean Cain? Next.

[–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 days ago

Wait 'til they find out that Joe Shuster was an immigrant too.
