The Superman Delusion: Don't Let Hollywood Re-write Your Morals

You took the kids to see Superman expecting a hero. What you got was a man screaming "Where is my dog?" and a petty political argument with his girlfriend. Did anyone else notice?

Pastor Steve Cioccolanti, who saw the 1978 Superman with his mother in Thailand and took all four of his children to the 2025 one, has loved this character his whole life. That is exactly why this review is not gentle. He counts the ways the new film quietly removed the one thing that made Superman different from every other superhero, and what that says about where the culture is going.

You'll discover:
• The difference between a story about power and a story about goodness
• Why the original Superman worked as a picture of Christ
• What both fathers were doing in 1978 that both fathers are not doing now
• The objection Christians raise about superhero movies, and his answer from John 14

"The new Superman is John Wick in a red cape."

If you have children who love superheroes, watch this before your next movie night.
