Superman’s Controversial Origin Retcon Was Actually the Best Possible Twist
If you’ve watched the movie, you’re aware that James Gunn made a notable adjustment to the Superman lore by modifying the motive behind his parents sending him to Earth. Instead of being sent to save humanity, they now intend for him to rule over humans. This shift in narrative has caused some fans to express their disappointment, with some speculating that it might have been a scheme engineered by Lex Luthor, despite Gunn clearly stating otherwise. However, we’re going to argue the other side and propose that Gunn’s modification to Superman’s origins was not only justified but also improved the quality of the film.
