That's literally his backstory. He's a refugee from another planet that's like the whole point.
Imagine being this goddamn stupid.

Welp. All I have to say about that is: fuck Dean Cain.
Ignoranus n. Someone who is both ignorant and an asshole.
They didn't go woke Dean, you aged to be a shitty person.
I'm going to guess that James Gunn isn't going to take career advice from...checks notes...Dean fucking Cain.
This is peak absurdity. You have a being from another planet, the being is sent from another planet because his planet was about to explode. In a last ditch attempt he was sent to earth by his parents. It surely sounds like a person who could be identified as an immigrant, illegal alien or asylum seeker.
Did Covid make dumb people even dumber? Ignorance certainly is bliss..
Funny thing is I've been calling Superman an illegal immigrant for decades. All of the sudden it's not a joke anymore. It's a friggin comic book hero for crying out loud.
These people want to be evil but hate being told that they're evil, so anything with an anti-evil message must be "woke".
Did COVID make dumb people even dumber?
No, they were always that dumb. They probably just projected themselves onto Superman because he's a strong white man and clearly strong white people cannot be illegal immigrants because that breaks their pathetic little power trip fantasy.
This is specifically comments by Dean Cain, a man who once played Superman, but didn't seem to actually pay attention to any of the scripts, because he became a right wing grifter.
I dont know how legit was the research methodology, but I did read a paper somewhere that even asymptomatic covid decreased peoples QI for a measurable ammount.
Trump's wife is an immigrant. Trump's parents were immigrants. Many people who are immigrants don't like immigrants because immigrant is code for "someone I don't like for x reason".
DUDE! In the 1940s they called Superman an immigrant... HE IS A FUCKING ALIEN!
Also he was an ILLEGAL alien! His escape pod landed outside some childless couple's farm house in the mid-west, and bless their hearts the first thing they did was adopt him.
Anyone who just read the headline needs to actually go read the article. It's not very long. Not that the headline is misleading, he absolutely said those things, but the whole thing is just the most deranged rant. Cain somehow got from being mad about changing the slogan to "truth, justice, and a better tomorrow" to immigrants want to make America into Somalia in two moves.
whoever that is made a mistake of opening his mug.
He's the Ripley's believe it or not guy, and had a superman series that didn't do well for like 3 or 4 seasons. He's super right wing and super douchey sorta like the dude that ruined Andromeda Kevin sorbo.
Like Sorbo, Cain is a fraud who only turned into an ultra-right God-botherer because it was a convenient way to hand-wave away a tanking career and find a new one being a (washed up) celebrity mouthpiece for a messianic death cult.
No, Hollywood didn't stop calling because you're a walking meme about corny 90s television. Its because they're all woke homosexual Satanists and who hate real American conservative Christians who tuck-in their t shirts and have missionary-only sex with their wife.
It's shitty because I liked Andromeda but it was Kevin sorbo that killed the storyline and made it... whatever it was that last season.
Remember when they had to define woke for some court case? The definition was something like acknowledging that there are inequalities in society. Superman's whole schtick is that he's morally good and has a ton of power but doesn't resort to authoritarianism. That seems pretty "woke" to me, too.
He’s literally an illegal alien. Like, according to every definition of the words.
Ex-Superman Dean Cain can fuck off
Sorry, I forgot you existed Dean Cain.
Dean Cain and Kevin Sorbo - two people who would get their asses kicked by the characters they played.
I mean, literally all people would get their asses kicked if they got into a fight with either super man or hercules
Lucy Lawless could probably take down Hercules.
I would just pray to hera that zeus wouldnt shut up about how hercules is his favorite son and how he cheats on her constantly. I would feed superman non stop blackpill content until he just leaves the planet.
Getting myself involved in the family drama of the greek gods? I would probably rather just take my ass kicking.
Gonna be hard to black pill a super human, that is very handsome in all the conventional ways, who was raised by good parents. He would probably just try to get you into therapy.
Meddling in the affairs of Mt. Olympus is a good to get turned into animal. Or a monster. Or impregnated by Zeus.
Also Zeus would probably have minimal qualms about transing your gender so us guys aren't particularly safe either. Though that's more of a Norse thing weirdly enough since I'm pretty sure Odin, Thor, and Loki all turned into women for various reasons.
Acrtion Comics #1 ...Lets see:
- Superman persuades the Governor to stay the execution of an innocent death-row inmate (p. 3-4)
- Beats up an abusive husband (p. 6-7)
- Dumps some rich sex-pests out of their car (p. 9-10)
- Intervenes in a corrupt lobbyist bribing a DC Senator (p. 11-end)
"When did Superman become so WOOOooooOOOke????"
Every once in a while I'm reminded of what an absolute dipshit one of my fondly remembered actors from childhood is
Yeah, I kind of enjoyed Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman back then.

What else would superman be? Are you gonna change the lore so Krypton is a small town in Kansas?
And that Lex Co. is strip mining it for a rare earth mineral, now the CEO is going to run as president because of those pesky environmentalists… wait !
Red Son is the only correct version of Superman.
Everything else is bourgeois revisionism.
Everyone this movie matters to already understands Superman enough not to be bothered by the comments of some has-been actor who clearly never understood the character he portrayed.
