‘Superman’ and The Quest For Palestine

July 14, 2025July 14, 2025 Edward Hong

Over here at The Nerds Of Color, Mike Manalo has done an astounding job covering the James Gunn version of Superman and, like him, our opinions are aligned that this is a Superman film for the ages. While there were many things to nitpick, there was undeniable energy and hope that coursed through the film, driven by the excellent David Corenswet. But while watching the film, I could not help but notice that the central conflict between the fictional countries of Boravia and Jarhanpur bore a striking resemblance to that of Israel and Palestine. We’re going to talk about this allegory exclusively, so come with me on this journey!

NOC Review: James Gunn’s ‘Superman’ is Epic, Heartfelt, and Hopeful

July 8, 2025July 8, 2025 Mike Manalo

Why do we love superheroes? Yes, their powers are extraordinary, their costumes are cool, and their gadgets are incredible. The adventures they go on are exciting, and they symbolize the modern mythology of our time. However, it’s more than that. Superheroes embody the best of us. They give us hope, inspire awe, and encourage us to become better. All of this began with the original and greatest superhero of all time: Superman! And now, so too does James Gunn’s new era of the DC Universe.

Some Thoughts on Superman’s Cinematic Legacy

May 15, 2025May 15, 2025 Michel Buster

Before I begin, let me say that this is not a Snyderverse v Gunnverse argument. No, not at all. Instead, it is an observation of what I have seen up to date and hope for with respect to the portrayal of Superman. There have been many films that I have looked forward to — most all have been from Marvel — but this summer’s Superman has been on my radar for a while now.

Everybody knows Superman. Everyone has an idea of who this iconic character is, with both favorable interpretations of his inherent devotion to doing good, and unfavorable interpretations of his will to help, with all his power, being unrealistic.

NOC Review: ‘Twisters’ is a Sensational Summer Spectacle with Soul

July 15, 2024July 15, 2024 Mike Manalo

In 1996, a VHS in my VCR (a device used to play video tapes for those Gen Z-ers out there), started to warp. The film within the cassette was getting worn out from friction, because, unfortunately, I’d played it too many times. That movie was Twister.
