Hello Hivers and members of the CineTv community, it's another day for us to talk about some of the trending things in the movie world. If you are a movie fan, you would have known that there is an online debate going on all over social media, especially on Web2, but what fun would it be if I don't bring this debate to the best movie community on Hive?

Not many of us, but most of us grew up with superheroes like Superman, and when there is a reboot or upgrade, we all want to know what has been added or removed from our favorite superhero.
The online debate has been about, "Which Superman is better?" while some are supporting Zack Snyder's Superman, others are saying the James Gunn Superman was what Superman was meant to be. Now, let's hear my opinion on this.
The truth is that I was very excited when "Man of Steel" came out. I love the advert, and it was the first Superman reboot we got after I love time, and the person who used to play the role of Superman (Henry Cavill) was an actual Superman, when it comes to body build and all.
One thing about Zack Snyder is that he loves his movies to be dark and gloomy, talk of the likes of "300 Movie" and so on, but that doesn't mean that the Superman he gave us was bad.
I love that there were so many actions in Man of Steel, it felt as if Superman was in the real world, how would it look like, and Zack gave us the reality of having Superman in the real world.
But the thing is that Superman is fictional, and just like every fictional story, we are not expected to see something too realistic because Superman is meant for everyone, both kids and adults. I wouldn't want to watch a Superman movie with my kids and start seeing loves of destruction.
The fact was, before James Gunn's Superman came into existence, I always felt like Man of Steel was too much, but that wouldn't stop me from watching it because I love Superman.
I watched the James Gunn Superman some days ago, and I have watched it twice, not as much as I have watched Zack Snyder Superman, but I must tell you, this new Superman has a lot of space to grow. James Gunn's Superman is not the best version of Superman. I even noticed some mistakes in the movie while watching it, like Superman's toes growing longer after his dog Krpto was biting and pulling on it, the way Green Lantern's projection was looking like, and how Lois immediately understood how to fly Mr. Terrific Aircraft.
Jame Gunn's Superman was sad to be weak, but the truth is that most of the Superman animated series and movies that I have watched, I have always seen Superman bleed, and get his ass kicked until he decides to get serious, and I believe that is what James Gunn is doing to his Superman.
He wants to give his Superman room to grow because Superman just started his hero life a few years ago. We got to see other promising superheroes that might change the DCUE. Something Zack never gave to us, but with James Gunn, I believe the new Superman manchandice will go a very long way. And there might be other movies that will come out of this. In the same way the Marvel Universe grows, we are going to see the DC universe grow, too.
Anyway, these are my opinions, and some others might have something different to say, but you, reading this, what is your take on both Superman?
Thanks for reading. My name is Fashtioluwa.
