Internet Is Furious After CBFC Cuts Kissing Scene From James Gunn's Superman: "This Isn't The 1980s"
Superman, starring David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan, made its theatrical debut on Friday to largely positive reviews from both audiences and critics. The release also led to disappointment among some fans, who noticed that several romantic moments had been trimmed or removed entirely from the final cut. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) censored a 33-second kissing scene between Superman and Lois Lane, triggering a strong reaction online. Fans and celebrities like Shreya Dhanwanthary criticised the board's "sanskaari standards" as hypocritical, especially given the more explicit content often seen in Bollywood films. In a post shared on X, Shreya wrote, "If this is true, this is RIDICULOUS!!! Some ridiculous crap happens every day. Every. Damn. Day. Sure this is the least of our worries but is something done about anything else? There is some crap every day. Every. Damn. Day.' If this is true, this is RIDICULOUS!!! Some ridiculous crap happens every day. Every. Damn. Day. Sure this is the least of our worries but is something done about anything else? There is some crap every day. Every. Damn. Day. — Shreya Dhanwanthary (@shreyadhan13) July 11, 2025 Another user wrote, "You can have lewd double meaning jokes in Housefull 5.

The Internet can do wonders. The next movement should be started in order to abolish the CBFC. They ruined Oppenheimer, F1 & now Superman. We should have a CERTIFICATION BOARD, not a censor board," read a post. Kissing is a sacred act of love, but our country makes it look like a crime. Internet can do wonders.

(@abasu4ever) July 11, 2025 According to a Bollywood Hungama report, CBFC deemed a scene "sensual" and asked for edits to secure a UA certificate for the film. To avoid delays, the filmmakers complied to make the cuts. Aside from that, CBFC also muted several curse words from the film. Many questioned why international films, marketed as simultaneous global releases, are delivered differently to Indian audiences. James Gunn's Superman has been successful at the box office. Moviegoers have praised the film for its uplifting tone, emotional depth and innovative take on the iconic character.

Superman star Nathan Fillion defends his character's haircut after fan uproar on social media
Nathan Fillion , the Superman star, has defended his character's iconic hairstyle in the movie after his look faced criticism from fans. The actor plays the DC Comics character Guy Gardner , a law enforcer who is also the Green Lantern, in the new Superman film, which was released on Friday, July 11, 2025. He plays the role of a superhero who derives powers from his sparkling green ring. Fillion wears a blonde bowl cut wig. As various teasers and trailers were released ahead of the film's release, viewers and fans have said that they don't like this hairstyle. The 'Rookie' actor, however, has now come out in defense of the haircut. He told CNN that the look is 'canon' to the original character in the DC Comics. 'I don't think you can do a Guy Gardner without doing the hair. I think it would be a disservice,' he said. ''Ummm, Guy Gardner is meant to look dumb with the bowl cut,' I don't care it still looks dumb,' one wrote in December 2024, according to Independent. While another wrote on X at the time: 'Hyped for Nathan Fillion as a Lantern, but a bowl cut?' 'Wtf happened to Green Lantern. Why is his haircut so ridiculous?' a third wrote in May. Many people, however, agreed that the bowl cut was a big part of Fillion's character. 'Guy Gardner's Green Lantern looks terrible in the exact way he should. Comic accurate,' one wrote on X in December 2024. In an episode of HBO Max's DC Studios Showcase Official Podcast in May 2025, Fillion said that the hairstyle of his character was discussed before the movie was filmed. He, however, ultimately pushed for Gardner to have the bowl cut. Live Events 'There was some talk about some different types of things we were going to go,' he said. 'I was team bowl cut the whole way. It's canon. It's set. I said, 'If we don't do a bowl cut, we're going to hear about it,' he added.'

Copper Golem in Minecraft: Uses, crafting recipe, features, and more
Image via Mojang Minecraft has recently announced their new Fall Drop 3 2025, where now players can craft many more things with copper, like tools, armor, golems, and many more. The new update is limited to Bedrock and will not be featured in Java Edition. The copper golem is now available in the experimental version of Minecraft Bedrock Edition, where players can try out the new copper golem. This article outlines a complete guide on the Copper Golem, how players can craft it, its uses, features, and more information that will help players have a better understanding of the new mob. Ultimate Copper Golem guide for Minecraft Currently the Copper Golem is only available as an experimental feature in the game on the Bedrock Edition of Minecraft, which means players cannot experience it in the default version of the game. Copper Golem will be released as part of the third game drop in 2025, an upcoming update that is purely focused on copper. Crafting recipe for Copper Golem Image via Mojang Copper Golems do not spawn naturally like Iron Golems do in Minecraft; players have to craft one in order to obtain it. To craft a Copper Golem, players first need to mine copper blocks with a stone pickaxe. The easiest way to find copper veins is to search open caves. Copper veins are very easily found in the game, and they look like grey stones with orange and greenish specks. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Players need at least nine raw copper pieces to make one copper block, but before that, players have to smelt this raw copper in a furnace, which will convert them into ingots. Placing 9 ingots in the crafting table will give one copper block. Then players need one carved pumpkin, which they can locate in the wilds, usually found in the grassy biome. Once you find a pumpkin block, use the shears to turn it into a carved pumpkin. Then place the Copper Block below and the Carved Pumpkin above it, which will spawn a Copper Golem. If you notice, doing so will not only spawn a Copper Golem, but also the Copper Block will transform into a Copper Chest. This Copper Chest is linked with the Copper Golem's Task. Uses of Copper Golem Image via Mojang Copper Golem is a peaceful mob that helps players automatically store and sort items. Yes, you heard it right. The copper golem functions as a little housekeeper in Minecraft. When players drop any item in the Copper Chest beside the Copper Golem, the mob picks up the item from the copper chest and transfers it into the strong wooden chest. The golem will find a chest that has the similar item and transfer it there; if not found, then it will drop the item into a new chest. The golem can pick 16 stacks at once and sort them. How to change Copper Golem's color Image via Mojang As we know, an unwaxed copper item over time will oxidize and turn into a green-blueish color. Similarly, an unwaxed Copper Golem will turn into a green-blueish color over time. If you want your golem to stay reddish-brown, then you can use honeycomb on the golem, which will not let it oxidize. Through the above guide, players can now craft their own Copper Golem and take advantage of its ability to store and sort items.
