Gunn's explanation actually makes sense to me. From what I've seen so far, Corenswet's portrayal definitely reminds me more of the George Reeves, Golden Age version of Superman who wasn't so ridiculously overpowered, as opposed to the Henry Cavill or even Christopher Reeve iterations. To be honest, I'm more bothered by the fact that Krypto is fluffy, when he's typically portrayed as having sleek fur. More woke dog-breed swapping, lol!

To be fair, it was Arisia who attempted to seduce Hal, and although they were in a brief romantic relationship, I don't think they ever "consummated" before Hal realized how wrong that would be. That's quite a bit different than Slade's deliberate psychological manipulation of Terra (although it's been a lot of years, so I'm willing to it I may be ing things wrong). On the other hand, this is the same period in which Supergirl was implied to have had a relationship with her magic horse in human form, so... yeah. DC was trying to make its comics more adult oriented, and things got a little weird.

Tom Brevort has made it perfectly clear with his recent comments that he not only hates Spider-Man, but that he hates Spider-Man fans. DC realized what a catastrophic mistake that New 52 was and has tried to course correct, whereas when anyone dares to question Civil War or One More Day, Marvel's response has consistently been some minor variation of "F U. We don't care what you think. This is Spider Man now." I just can't understand why a company would so deliberately try to sabotage their flagship character. That would be like Paramount hating Captain Kirk or McDonald's trying to make the Big Mac inedible.

Obviously, this author doesn't know much about Ted Grant, or couldn't be bothered to do some basic research. Although Wildcat doesn't have any traditional super powers, he does have a sort of "Nine Lives" resurrection ability. Last I knew, he had only used up about three of those lives, so even if I missed a few, he should still have a couple left to come back with.

Whoever wrote this article must be a real Rachel Zegler fanboy--while I have nothing against her, the premise that "all her movies bomb, but it's not her fault" seems a bit myopic. What do all these movies have in common? Rachel Zegler. Yes, coincidence is not causality, but at some point you have to reach the conclusion, if all your relationships fail, maybe the problem is YOU.
