Brightburn Is A Sequel

/

Set in the rural town of Brightburn, Kansas, in 2006 a strange spaceship falls from the sky. Inside, a baby boy. A couple named Tori and Kyle Breyer discover the ship and adopt the boy as their own naming him Brandon. 12 years later, Brandon is on the verge of puberty causing the spaceship to awaken sending out a strange message in an alien language. This causes Brandon’s personality to change drastically, while also granting him superhuman strength and a significant degree of invulnerability. What follows isn’t your typical superhero story. In this story there is not Pa Kent or Uncle Ben anywhere in sight.

Let me explain:

  • James Gunn’s three very different superhero cinematic universes.

  • Gunn’s tight knit productions and how this movie was supposed to be released.

  • Why evil Superman would be the absolute worst thing to happen to mankind.

  • How this movie can sort of be seen as a spiritual sequel to Super (2010)

  • Why Zack Snyder fanboys are still the worst.
