I enjoyed this post. I particularly like "Superman is a modern myth" and "Art reveals". Yes, the fear is correct. Any future with resurgent masculinity is one in which the women are just captured / acquired / attracted, often quite willingly, and the average man today, with no spirit / thumos / strength / network, gets - nothing. Actually nothing. The fact that this harem fear was expressed indicates that we (correctly) see ourselves as weak. When watching the film: - I noted that the only way Superman makes sense as a character is if he has rural American Christian parents, and that this film accepted that. A small change in the zeitgeist regarding Christianity ? - I highly enjoyed the new message from his birth parents. It's a striking twist on Krypton's culture that I don't think has been done before. - I appreciated Lex Luthor's recognition and acceptance of his envy, and his use of it as a source of strength.
