Superman: Red Son

Under Quarantine Film Reviews #71: The animated Red Son takes Mark Millars morally complex and nuanced source material and substitutes it for jingoistic American propaganda. A colossal disappointment and disservice to one of the best Superman stories ever written.

Wow what a colossal disappointment. The animation was great and the voice acting was decent but the story was complete shit. It started off well enough but the over simplification of the complex themes and the bullshit characterizations really hurt this story.

worth a watch

It has an intriguing concept but then rushes through what should have been a better thought out story. It plays out exactly how you think it will. Superman is corrupted by ideology to learn all humanity deserves life and freedom. It's well animated and the voice acting is top notch. When I personally watch elseworlds stories I want the outlandish to be present because if it just uses the same themes presented differently it is still the same thing overall. Russian Batman is the best part of this

This feels like the Superman movie Elon Musk would write.

Way better than I expected: sure, the animation is pretty on par with the early 2000 DC animated series but the story is well represented and the dynamics between a too-far Batman vs a too-far Superman are always fun in any world.

It’s not a completely unsatisfying experience given some of the animation and voice work. But this is undoubtedly a poor adaptation of Millar’s high quality and nuanced novel, which is misrepresented shamefully in the final third in particular. The story is reduced to the bare basics of triumphalist flag waving nonsense. A real shame.

I think this is a cool idea, and there's some cool scenes throughout. I don't think this will be something I will revisit in the future, but I did enjoy it for what it was.

Started-out so interesting as a "what if,,,", but didn't think they came up with a good scenario for what would happen if Superman was a commie. Became most a cloned monster rush than something philosophical.

Bolşevik Süperman yapmışlar. Süperman'in Rusya'da yaşayıp büyümesi anlatılmış. Sosyalist Süperman, Stalin'i öldürüp başa geçince, düşmanı Batman ve Luther ile çarpışmak zorunda kalır. Arada Wonder Woman'da esir düşer. 1 animasyon olarak çok entrika ve politika olmasına karşın, sağdan soldan ne varsa karışık kuruyemiş gibi. Filmin sonunda, amerika'yı robottan kurtarıyor. O kadar olaydan sonra böyle basit 1 son. Siz erkekler hepiniz aynısınız.
