I really wish the Snyder-verse died with the theatrical cut of Justice League. Instead of new beginnings WB seem content in dragging the corpse across gravel.

Final Crisis is like 13 years old and I don't even remember people being this racist and losing their shit back then.
I'm not here to both sides this because obviously these twitter reactions are gross.
But a lot of you need to be reminded of the last time there was talk about a Black Peter Parker.

Can't believe I have to do their jobs for them..heres the scowliest scowlman I could find
Grrr
>:C
edit - its a shame honestly, Cavil has a dreamy smile..let him use it more!
I love how some people in this thread complain about two posts that were made by the same person that just happens to pick Henry Cavills Superman as an example of his "point". You guys have such a hate boner for Snyder that you are willing to paint all of his fans as racist shitheads at the first opportunity cause you dont like the movies he´s making. Its ridiculous. You guys should be ashamed of yourself.
And it goes without saying that the people beeing upset about a black superman are racist shitheads, but Snyder has nothing to do with it.

I can't imagine the amount of salt they'll produce.
It is what it is. I know I'm in the minority but I love what Snyder set out to do and I'm sad he won't finish his five film plan. But I'm happy he at least got to finish JL. And I can say goodbye to his universe.
I'm ready for whatever Coates comes up with.

Even some of the ones that don't show Cavill mention him or heavily imply this is being shown as a distraction from the nonsense surrounding Ray Fisher's mistreatment at the hands of the studio. Translation: the responses are in defense of the Snyderverse.
I've argued, extensively at this point, why I don't believe Snyder is well-suited for Superman but that has nothing to do with the fact that the majority of the people that don't like the idea of a black Superman are posting Cavill as their ideal representation of the character.
This sounds like confirmation bias at this point but have at it.
Using tweets with zero engagement as proof enough to make broad assessments and generalizations is pretty dishonest.
Uh, pretty sure those "coincidence" and "suspicious" tweets are about the rumor of a black superman movie. Basically those tweets read as people who are excited/curious.

...ok
Preponderance of evidence on the one hand, correlation does not equal causation on the other... *shrug*
If this response (chosen consecutively skipping those who'd previously responded in the same fashion) is indicative of the kind of responses we'll be seeing in the future I'm not looking forward to the nonsense that will inevitably swallow up the talk around the film's release.
Even putting aside the blatant racism, why are so many of these tweets focusing specifically on Snyder and Henry Cavill?
There are multiple white men playing Clark Kent right now in media.

User Banned (1 week): inflammatory comparison
Honestly, I feel there is a increasing interception between alt-right shit and Snyder fandom.
Nah I mean twitter thread shitting is ok, in fact it's pretty cool according to him.

When all his movies contain blatant objectivist themes, that was a given.
Because they are Snyder fans, and the last time they did stuff like this worked.
*looks towards Marvel's fan base during the Captain Marvel nonsense* Both tribes have fuckwits within. Why fan the flames?
Fucking facts. People run to that Icon response because they "want their own black characters" and I get it. But know who you're asking for.
You're on your own here though. Calvin's better than either of those options.
Truth. Grant knew what they were doing. Multiversity was awesome further reading if you want more after a Final Crisis re-read.
Action Comics #8 and Multiversity were both amazing. I will say Calvin's absolutely not about to be the Superman they use. It'll just be black Clark Kent, because it's too much "work" to set up other characters.
