Social Media Interprets New Superman Movie as Allegory for Israel’s Ongoing Genocide of Palestinians
NO LOC, JUL 13 – James Gunn’s Superman film uses allegory to highlight immigrant struggles and oppression, with critics noting its clear parallels to the Israel-Gaza conflict and pro-immigrant themes.
- James Gunn directed a new Superman film starring David Corenswet that premiered last weekend featuring a conflict between Boravia and Jarhanpur.
- The plot depicts Boravia, a US-backed Eastern European country invading the impoverished Jarhanpur, which many viewers interpret as an allegory for Israel and Palestine.
- Superman stops Boravia's invasions, while Lex Luthor arms Boravia with billions in weapons, and scenes include visual symbolism recalling Gaza border protests.
- The film received polarized reactions, with some calling it the 'most obvious pro-Palestine' blockbuster and others accusing it of promoting anti-Israel messages.
- The movie raises discussions on US interventionism, the military-industrial complex, and immigrant stories, suggesting a new geopolitical framing for a classic American hero.
