abandon shame. theres more interesting emotions to be felt

unless its getting you off. in that case keep going

smallville is great because alfred gough and miles miller were like “i want to make a show about teenager batman” and warner brothers was like “No you’re gonna make a small town soap opera about superman” and michael rosenbaum was like “the studio has tricked me, western kentucky university trained michael rosenabum, into being here, so i’m going to portray a closeted homosexual” and tom welling was like “i’m in a perfume commercial!”

I love love love how it’s simultaneously a kink a personality flaw and a trauma response, he’s the messiest bitch, which was an insane choice for a lex but works so well

James Gunn understands Lex Luthor more than any director ever. His Lex is completely obsessed with Superman in a deeply psychosexual way. He’s scientifically brilliant but his arrogance is his weakness. He memorizes fight moves like chess plays. He creates a pocket universe where he casually commits human rights abuses. He kills an innocent man dressed like he just came from a gala. He orchestrates a whole war just to meet and hurt Superman. He clones him. He protests that Superman isn’t his type despite not being asked. He touches his fingers to Superman’s through the glass prison because he’s as fascinated as he is hateful. He orders Superman to be choked and sent down to his knees and this man looks like he’s in heaven. Then the first time he’s freed from PG-13 ratings he immediately starts talking about gay sex. Peak characterization.
