Part 8/15:

Several panelists emphasize that Superman should emulate the tone of classic films like Captain America: The First Avenger: grounded, inspiring, and respectful of its source. Instead, Gunn’s version feels like a parody—an over-the-top, shallow western-hued mishmash that sacrifices substance for quick laughs and trendy aesthetic choices. Critics lament that the film lacks the "reverence" necessary to elevate Superman’s mythos, ending up as a fragmented series of vignettes with no real thematic throughline.
