A scene where Ultraman punches Krypto was removed from #Superman • It received a very negative reaction during test screenings • James Gunn decided to cut it (via Extra TV)

Ultraman kicks Krypto(K), thinking he'd a random dog that wont go away K floats up to be eye-level with Ultraman K bites Ultraman by the ankle and drags him off into space and yeeting him into the sun Final scene of movie has K enjoying a squeaky toy while Superman wonders where Ultraman went to

This was 100% a studio mandate. Gunn has shown he has the balls to take things to really dark, messed up places. The idea that he'd flinch at test screenings not liking a SUPER dog getting punched by the BAD guy in a FIGHT scene is laughable.

Tbh, not surprised when it is now cut. But the scene would've been better to stay so it gave a greater reaction or emotion as Superman punches back then checks up on Krypto 😐

I vehemently disagree. It shouldn’t even be used in movies to show how evil someone is unless it’s the central plot of the movie like John Wick. There’s far too much animal abuse that happens in real life.

John Bee @johnbalash.bsky.social

I personally don’t want to see it. I hated the animal abuse in Guardians 3 as well. High Evolutionary losing didn’t make it somehow enjoyable to watch. I assume bad things could happen to people in movies, and can tolerate it to an extent, but I also don’t wanna see Lois Lane get punched.

Holy reading comprehension lol. I never claimed it is you buffoon. My point is that plenty of bad shit gets shown in media but when it comes to dogs people act like its a crime against humanity for a movie or game or show or whatever to have anything bad happen to a dog and its fucking dumb.
