This isn’t just another Hollywood flop—it’s a glaring example of how injecting Marxist immigrant narratives and “kindness” lectures into beloved franchises alienates real Americans, tanking profits and proving once again that going woke means going broke. James Gunn, the far-left filmmaker behind this reboot, couldn’t resist turning Superman into a vehicle for his anti-Trump agenda. Days before release, Gunn declared the movie “about politics,” portraying the Kryptonian hero as “an immigrant that came to America as a baby.” He even told critics of this narrative to “screw off,” dismissing them as “jerks.”

Fox News commentators ripped it as a “woke joke tale of an illegal immigrant,” directly tying Gunn’s comments to the film’s failure. Even Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists drew parallels, comparing Trump to supervillain Lex Luthor for his strong immigration stance, while painting Superman as a beneficiary of “birthright citizenship.” Gunn feigned confusion over the “superwoke” label, but audiences weren’t fooled—pre-sales tanked, especially in China, where DC films already struggle under bloated budgets and anti-American vibes. The result? A humiliating bust that underscores Hollywood’s detachment from heartland values. Gunn pointed fingers at international “anti-American sentiment” during Trump’s presidency, but as the video notes, other non-woke films like “Lilo & Stitch” and “Minecraft” thrived overseas.

Other casualties include “The American Society of Magical Negroes,” a race-baiting flop earning $1.3 million, labeled the “most dangerous animal” as White people. “Charlie’s Angels” (2019) tanked with feminist lectures, “Wonder Woman 1984” disappointed with progressive pandering, and “Bros”—Hollywood’s first gay rom-com—bombed spectacularly. Even “Joker 2” was ripped as the “worst film ever” after failing, though not purely woke.
Greg Gutfeld on Fox argued “The Marvels'” disastrous opening proves “ultra-woke doesn’t sell.” Pixar’s “Elio” crashed after cutting LGBTQ elements too late, becoming their worst bomb.
Hollywood’s obsession with DEI is self-sabotage. As conservatives launch anti-woke review sites to counter Rotten Tomatoes’ bias, the message is clear: audiences crave escapism, not lectures.

Superman’s downfall should be a wake-up call—ditch the politics, or keep losing billions. Real Americans vote with their wallets, and wokeness is box office poison.
