Superman’s pal Matt

Honestly what endears me so much about Gunn & Corenswet’s take on Superman is just how drenched in his silver age characterization he is. He’s brave and kindhearted, but also just inherently silly and kinda odd. Not necessarily in character who is fully earnest, but in concept. He’s someone who can say “aw shucks”, argue with his dog (“What they hey dude!”), and talk about intergalactic zoos and annoying dimensional imps, but then contrast that with these deeply human moments like his love for Lois and his drive to help those in need. It’s how these two elements of inspiring and goofy can coexist that just really charms me in a way I’ve never really seen before in live action. And it’s all supported by David’s distinct voice that’s deep and filled with warmth that allows him to say things that are both poetic and dumb without one betraying the other. The guy is just perfect, man😭
