If you can watch BvS and conclude that it’s dealing with a what if God came to earth scenario and therefore dismiss how it’s sociopolitically relevant to modern society then you didn’t understand the movie at all.

When you can seriously look at Clark standing in Lois’ and his apartment in sweatpants cooking eggs (an image directly pulled out of every romance novel ever) if you can look at something so mundane while other people talk about this person doing normal things we’ve in some form or another probably all done before, like they’re a concept and not a human being and you come to the conclusion that it’s not sociopolitically relevant then let my female fat black bisexual ass tell you it’s xenophobia.

That’s exactly how xenophobia works. When you put on your damn TV and they’re talking about “illegals, immigrants, Muslims, bad hombres, the blacks, Latinxs, Asians…” do you really think that you’re the only one seeing it? There are people who are living their everyday lives, but are talked about in media as if they were a concept. “The gays, the transgendered, the Jewish, women, the fat people….”

I know I made a pretty broad category here and that some people are missing and even if all these are identities which intersect but face vastly different problems which have to be addressed differently, we can all say that while we’re living our lives people have been talking over us and regarding us as a concept.

This is exactly the thing in the end. I know a lot of people who experience this themselves didn’t like the movie and really no one has to, but you can’t continue writing stupid essays on how the movie failed you and didn’t make sense when you continue missing the point that badly. And if you don’t identify with these themes or don’t like them then we’ll there is other media to choose from, but it’s been a year and people are still talking about gods as if it wasn’t the entire point that he didn’t regard himself as such, but was portrayed in the media as one.
