Message: <blockquote data-quote="Clint_L" data-source="post: 9662780" data-attributes="member: 7035894">I'm experimenting with testing the parameters of ChatGPT and NotebookLM in various ways - bear with me; we're all doing it in my field of work, and just had another pro-D session on it all day yesterday. Anyway, I asked Chat+ to comb through my Internet history, using my Google login (this one), and try to fashion a review of this trailer that approximated my style.I have my own thoughts, but I'm interested if anyone who is familiar with my style/tone from thousands of posts on this forum would think it was me:Against all odds, the new Superman trailer doesn’t just look decent—it looks like it might finally understand the assignment.James Gunn seems to be doing something we haven’t seen in a while: presenting Superman as an actual person, not a monument. There’s color. There’s warmth. There’s Clark Kent walking with people instead of hovering above them in a beam of moody light. It’s not ironic. It’s not edgy. It’s… sincere. And for Superman, that’s a swing worth taking.David Corenswet has the right look—clean-cut without feeling plastic—and he moves with the kind of presence that suggests he’s in on the emotional core of the character. It helps that the trailer isn’t afraid of tone: we get a bit of retro optimism, a flash of cosmic weirdness, and what feels like a world that still has civilians in it. I caught myself thinking, this actually looks like a place Superman would care about.Yes, it’s busy—Metamorpho, Mr. Terrific, Guy Gardner, Hawkgirl—but Gunn has earned some trust when it comes to ensemble work. If anything, I suspect the supporting cast will make Clark feel more grounded, not less. And let’s be honest: if DC wants to rebuild their universe without reboot fatigue, anchoring it around a version of Superman people actually like is the smartest place to start.I’m not ready to declare victory. This could still go sideways in post-production, or get lost trying to please both the Reeve nostalgists and the Snyder holdouts. But for the first time in a long while, the idea of Superman doesn’t feel apologetic.And that, in itself, feels like progress.</blockquote>
