Part 7/9:
Snyder’s Superman has been depicted rising triumphantly even against overwhelming odds; however, the reality in both Snyder’s and potential future portrayals is that Superman is not infallible. Evidence from past films shows him facing tough challenges, indicating that the new portrayals might not actually undermine the character’s traditional prowess.
Addressing Critiques and Anticipation
Much of the critique directed at Gunn’s depiction seems to hinge on a few short teaser sequences from a trailer—moments that, as Gunn himself intends, illustrate a character facing adversities. Emphasizing struggle is crucial for developing a character, especially one like Superman, where the stakes hinge on personal sacrifice and resilience instead of merely showcasing unwavering strength.
