Superman strove to combat the idea that Superman sees himself as a God or that he is somehow “above” humanity. This has led to a lot of people revisiting 2013’s Man of Steel by Zack Snyder, but I would say that the root of Superman cynicism in the film world goes back to 2004.

Ryan Coogler has directed five feature films: Fruitvale Station (2013), Creed, Black Panther, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and Sinners (2025). Each of them shows an improvement and growth as a storyteller with Blackness at the root, with an acknowledgment of the interconnected web with other cultures through white supremacy.
