While neither Gunn nor the cast have stated the film references Israel or Palestine, audiences have drawn their own conclusions.shit made me cry cause in real life no one is coming to save you. those poor kids in gaza being massacred with no hope in sight. I still can’t believe he made a superman movie about palestine https://t.co/ERpVGskplc

#Superman is a powerful and clear commentary on the senseless genocide towards Palestinians in Gaza and parodies the inhumanity of the world and Israel against them. Its a film about humanity and how no matter who we are, we all share humanity.

Though the film never names specific nations, Gunn has said in interviews that it tackles themes of “politics” and “morality,” and positions Superman as an immigrant, comments that have also sparked backlash from some US conservatives.I really wasn’t expecting much and chalked it up to hype, or a liberal application of the Israel analogy to any imperialist expansion war. But the movie quite clearly recreates visuals from the 2018 Gaza border protests. Superman is antizionist and leaves no room for doubt https://t.co/WeTReJ7CAA pic.twitter.com/tPApmOZpnR

So you agree? Boravia is Israel and Jarhanpur is Palestine? No wonder reviews called this film anti-Israel #Superman pic.twitter.com/d9Sy7FWzls

Just watched #Superman and it was great. It’s not just about saving the world. It’s political, it’s timely, and the Israel/Palestine parallels aren’t even trying to be subtle. Capes with a message. ? ? pic.twitter.com/qULXqLAkkP
