Trae Young slams new Superman movie for weak portrayal of his favorite superhero
The Atlanta Hawks forward Trae Young recently made headlines as he voiced his dissatisfaction with the way Superman was portrayed in the most recent film adaptation. The
NBA
icon, who is well-known for being open on social media, expressed his opinions regarding the movie on X.
On the other hand, he again went viral after responding to Iman Shumpert's criticism with a vicious dig.
Trae Young fires back at Superman portrayal and Iman Shumpert's criticism in viral fashion
Trae Young
, a die-hard Superman fan, recently voiced his displeasure with the famous superhero's portrayal. He took to X on July 21 and wrote:
'These Superman movies starting to make him look weak or it's just me??? That's my favorite superhero btw I'm asking cause I'm really upset..'
Superman has been regarded as a representation of power, optimism, and invincibility for many generations.
However, devoted admirers like Trae Young don't like how the recent film adaptations of the character have tended towards vulnerability.
On the other hand, after retaliating against a former
NBA
champion for offensive remarks on ESPN, the Atlanta Hawks player again made headlines. Iman Shumpert talked about Trae Young during a recent NBA Today appearance. Shump wasn't convinced that the superhero movie enthusiast could become a great NBA player.
The former NBA champion specifically criticized him for reportedly being too undersized and a defensive liability for a team that wanted to win a title. Slamming the NBA star, he said:
'Trae Young statistically, what he brings to a game of basketball, I get it. At 6'3, it's tough to say can he switch onto a 5 at the end of the game, can he guard a bigger guard… Can he make a 2-guard a scoring champion?'

In response to a fan who criticized Shump for his remarks, Trae Young said that he had defeated him in their most recent matchup. Responding to the comment, he wrote:
'That's why I let them live… What I did to him on the court when we played, you'd think he'd have more respect when my name gets brought up! I could keep going… No hate this way, tho (sic).'
Meanwhile, Trae Young's comment on the new
Superman movie
reflects a larger discussion among superhero fans over how comic book characters are changing and being reinterpreted for contemporary audiences.
