So, we’ve been getting more and more information as of late about James Gunn’s new Superman movie. Now no longer titled “Superman: Legacy” and instead just “Superman.” And I’m getting really excited.

I think James Gunn is an incredibly talented filmmaker who brings so much love and passion to all of his projects. Superman is one of my favorite fictional characters of all time, and from the way he’s talking about this movie I think he’s going to be bringing that same level of passion to the start of this new DC Universe. Complete with characters like Guy Gardner Green Lantern, Hawkgirl, Metamorpho, Mr. Terrific, and more.

So these are 10 things that I want from “Superman: Legacy.”

Wait I mean Superman. Just... Superman.

Yeah that’s gonna take a while to get used it.

    The two things I want from the new Superman is that he's actually Superman, a happy cheerful guy who sees the best in humanity and humankind and not some super emo homelander-ish superhero cosplaying as Superman and most importantly, I agree, GIVE HIM HIS DAMN CURLY HAIR, not some swept up hair that makes him look like a damn engineer nerd from the 70s
  • @realifecacti07
    The fact that James Gunn can make you feel for a talking shark is insane. That shot of King Shark in the bus looking at a couple kissing, without any words, the eyes tell you his entire story. James is such a great storyteller.
  • @gavinboyer4634
    Compromise. The suit is made of a sci-fi material that came with the space pod, and Martha used that material to make him the suit.
  • "[the trunks] look too silly/campy" good, I like it when movies are fun to watch.
  • I think that Grant Morrison explained Superman’s suit well. He compared it to “a patriotic Scotsman wearing a kilt,” and that’s honestly a pretty great analogy for it. Who gives a shit if it looks “ridiculous” or “stupid,” it’s the clothes of his people. I imagine the Superman uniform is just something that people would wear on Krypton, similar to (circling back to Grant Morrison) how Scotsmen used to wear kilts as normal clothes. Sorry for the long comment but I really like the trunks, and that argument has actually convinced a few trunkphobes (patent pending) to switch sides.

    23:17 Not necessarily. Pa Kent doesn't always die when Clark was young and sometimes at all and I think it would be more interesting if James Gunn explored Superman with having both his parents be alive.
  • @justopher8487
    Marvel: Here's some money for your next video. Troy: Awesome! This'll be great for my Superman video! Marvel: Say sike right now.
  • What I’m really hoping for is that James Gunn utilizes Superman’s wider range of powers. I want to not only see flight and laser vision but also freeze breath and x ray vision and some of these other powers that don’t get enough screen time imo
  • maybe martha made the costume with fabrics found on the ship clark landed in, and maybe the cape is the blanket he came wrapped in
  • @josemunoz152
    With the heights Peacemaker made especially character-wise, I have no doubt James Gunn will find the pure humanity in the characters of Clark and especially Lex. I can’t wait to see how he handles these characters
  • @yash_kapoor
    Fun drinking game take a shot whenever Troy mentions the words ”Superman” I’m having a blast rn EDIT: Not fun do not try this stop immediately learn for my mistakes oh fuck it’s so bad
  • Smallville is a good example for Superman mythos: 1. Johnathan Kent is a good father, someone who gives advice to Clark about his powers while asilo fear of what would happen if the world found out what he does. While also he will go to great lengths to protect his family 2. Erica Durance is a great Lois lane, smart beautiful independent clever 3. Tom Welling embodies a young Clark Kent someone who wanted to use his powers because he’s a good person not because it’s his destiny despite what the show said 4. Michael Rosenbaum is great as Lex Luther enough said I can’t say what others had said already
  • Superman is my favorite fictional character of all time, and I feel very strongly about him. The SECOND you mentioned that the trunks are necessary and that the turtleneck collar isn't great for the costume, it reminded me to ring the notification bell for your channel. Absolutely, insanely based. đź‘Ź
  • If Kevin Feige can make Captain America, a “boring” superhero who has old school American values, into an awesome character, James Gunn can do the same with Superman.
  • @JodyGoChase
    People: “Superman is too much of a Basic Big Blue Boy Scout” Also people: “Screw the red trunks, too silly!” WHAT DO YOU WANT
  • @legofan370
    The ONE thing I wanna see in a god damn Superman movie, considering Gunn's musical tastes across GotG and Peacemaker, I wanna see Superman be a fucking Metallica fan. It is from the comics (Superboy #83 from 2001 to be exact) and it would be so great to see! I would love to see Supes blasting The Unforgiven (considering the themes of losing a parent in that song also helps for Superman as a character if Pa does die in the film). I think it would also help on a more serious note. It would help build this version of Superman and help it stand on its own two feet since we haven't gotten that it in an adaptation yet. As well as breaking the mold of what people think of metalheads. Metalheads are some of the nicest, compassionate, and wonderful people to talk to yet society views them as vagrants, degenerates, and violent. So I think it could also help that Superman, the Beacon of Hope, a man who just wants to see the world a bit better because he believes it can be, a caring, nice, and compassionate guy, likes this hard and rough music genre could maybe help sway public opinion. But that's just a dream. And we all know, dreams save us.

    The biggest thing I want from Superman is for Clark to simply have his life back. His personality, not just a bumbling disguise, Lois, Jimmy, Perry, The Planet actually being characters we care for. Not just an over focus on the Super, but a focus on the Man. Also, it'd be cool if they brought in Cat Grant, Lombard, and Ron Troupe(often forgotten).
