Superman: The Man of Steel (2013)
"Imagine Superman in today’s world. His belief system challenging not only criminals, but almost every facet of the world we live in. And well he’s Superman…who’s gonna stop him? Superman was always supposed to be the best possible reflection of “Americanism” and in a very real way humanity. What would the “boyscout” do when the very belief system he lives with is under assault? THAT would be one heck of a story to tell; and for the first time in a long time a relate-able one when it comes to Superman."

The Man of Steel is a superhero that we get to see around the clock, not just at dark time like other Superheroes. In the film, Superman is displayed as an masculine male figure who is out to save the day. I think this is a true definition to what American society is because when we look for help, we look upon men with the characteristics of someone just like Superman. On another hand, not only does the film illustrate the typical American image that us as the people rely on for protection, but it also demonstrates and sends a message of what we also act upon in our new age society.
In the Man of Steel, there are very few things that are pro-globalist, anti-human propaganda in the film. My main criticism is that the film shows the FBI pointing guns at Lois Lane like she did something wrong or as if she is a threat and basically kidnapping her. In all, this is promoting the police state, but other than that, this film is a revolution against the goals of the globalist.
Another criticism that could be brought forth is that this film is pro anti-Christ. Though I disagree with that viewpoint, you have this godly figure who falls from the stars to earth, who is 33 years old, and who is forced to go public to save humanity. He is clearly a figure of Christ, and the writers of this film do indeed admit to this. But I wouldn’t call him an anti-Christ figure because he supports free will and he supports the general humanity. Where as the true anti-Christ figure, I would say is more representative by the general population. Over all I feel again, that this film represents messages. Messages that are being revealed through characters like Superman and its relaying certain things to the people to whereas we need to take in this knowledge and use it to our advantage.
