Where have they been this whole time? Then again, I knew a RWNJ who was really into Superman. I guess he didn't make the connection in his tiny brain.

BTW, we watched "Superman: Red Son" on HBO Max the other night. Extremely well done. The premise was that Kal-El landed in the Stalin-era USSR instead of in the USA. It was excellent.

Shives gets into that with people who complain that modern Trek is "woke". "Have you seen this series? It was BUILT to be "woke"."
