With the release of the new Superman film, a fresh round of controversy has erupted from Trump supporters over the character's origins and message, with fans and media observers responding with mockery at their apparent ignorance of the source material.

The release of a new Superman movie has some in the Make America Great Again (Maga) movement steaming mad. This is because James Gunn, the man behind the film and the head of DC Studios, is drawing attention to immigration as one of the movie’s major themes.

Gunn courted outrage from the online (and televised) right with an interview in The Times of London. In that talk, published on Sunday, Gunn rightfully pointed out that Superman is both an immigrant and the American ideal.

It’s about human kindness and obviously there will be jerks out there who are just not kind and will take it as offensive just because it is about kindness,’ Superman director James Gunn said last week,

Yes, Superman is an immigrant and yes, the people that we support in this country are immigrants and if you don’t like that, you’re not American,” he told Variety.

James Gunn and the ‘Superman’ cast respond to Fox News’ “Superwoke” backlash, defending the film’s message of kindness and immigrant identity.
