Cinemajames Gunn defends Superman ‘which can be won’ in the hero’s new movie

To James Gunn (Galaxy Guardians: Volume 3), DIRECTOR OF THE EVERYSHERE Supermanmake the man of steel David Corenswet (Pearl) more fragile is not a problem. It is a creative choice. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Gunn He went straight to explaining why his Superman will not be an invincible God. “I didn’t want a superman who punches planets”He said. For him,” nerfar “the hero is essential to creating stories that dialogue with the public and the new shared universe of DC.

In the universe of pop culture, especially among gamers and comics fans, the term “nerfar” became popular as slang for when a character is intentionally weakened. The term, derived from the nerf toy brand (known for its foam weapons), is often used with indignation: nervous a hero or villain can sound like mutilating his power or betraying his essence. In superhero cinema, “nerfar” became almost a capital sin-especially when it involves icons like Superman.

The director, who also runs the planning of the new DCU, spared no criticism of the recurring debates among fans about who would win hypothetical struggles between characters. “I see these things online: ‘Who would you win? Homeland or Superman? Brightburn? Adam Warlock?’ And I think: this is the stupid conversation that exists, ”he said Gunn. “If so, I can invent God Man, which destroys everything with a wink. And that’s it: I won all the fights forever.”

Second Gunnthe new Superman will be less powerful than previous versions precisely to make room for other figures of the universe being built, such as the Green Greenwoman Guy Gardner. “We are creating an entire universe now. So what will a girl with wings will do before someone who can move planets with a punch?”He provoked.“They [os heróis] They are all powerful, but within limits.”

In addressing the character’s vulnerability, the director also played at a central point for many fans: empathy. “A lot of people tell me they prefer Batman because he can be defeated. I understand that. So we now have a superman that can be won”He concluded.
