Amid the controversy surrounding the recent Superman movie, director James Gunn has defended an unexpected scene in which the superhero saves a squirrel. Despite the criticism during test screenings, where several viewers questioned the need for this interaction, Gunn decided to keep it in the final cut of the film. According to the director, this scene is essential to reflect Superman’s philosophy about the importance of every life, regardless of its size.

The definition of Superman is to be everything that humanity should be

Gunn shared that during the test screenings, some audience members expressed their discontent with the moment, asking “Why the hell is he saving a squirrel?”. However, the director felt that this action encapsulated the essence of the character, who always chooses to protect the most vulnerable. “There was a cut where I had removed the scene, but I really missed it. Superman has to save the squirrel,” Gunn commented in an interview.

The movie also includes an exciting plot where Lex Luthor, played by Nicholas Hoult, sends a kaiju to wreak havoc in Metropolis and distract Superman while he attempts to access the Fortress of Solitude. In the midst of the battle, Superman is shown lifting the kaiju’s foot to save a dog, before intervening to rescue the squirrel. These moments, although they may seem small, underscore Superman’s commitment to the defense of all life.

With the Superman movie now in theaters, the audience is eager to see how this new approach to the hero will resonate within the ever-changing DC universe. In the meantime, fans can explore other related audiovisual projects that are in development.

Pomcasso: The Painting Pooch on a Life-Saving Mission

Let me tell you how and why in this story full of ups and downs, bad organization, operations in Japan and a canine with heart problems.

If you’re just like me, you need this to start by explaining that the ending of the story is a good one. This isn’t the beginning of ‘John Wick‘ nor the ending of ‘Hachi: A Dog’s Tale’: luckily, Glitter, the starring pup of this story, will survive thanks to his art. Interestingly, unlike ninety percent of artists. Let me tell you how and why in this story full of ups and downs, poor organization, operations in Japan, and a canine with heart issues.

Before we begin, let’s get to know Glitter. Glitter is a Pomeranian who until a month ago had a perfectly normal life: eating, sleeping, sniffing other dogs’ rear ends, and of course, having his own TikTok and Instagram accounts because, are we monsters after all? @glitterthepom posted his first video on October 1, 2022, taking advantage of the release of ‘Hocus Pocus 2’, but it seems like he was under some kind of curse.

You see, just before his first video, they had detected that something was wrong with his little heart, and he needed mitral valve repair at the Jasmin Clinic with Dr. Masami Uechi in Japan. Yes, I also initially thought it was a scam and an excuse for a family to fund their trip to Yokohama with their dog, but the truth is, the story checks out. The problem was that they needed $40,000 to save Glitter’s life.

Look, we live in a time where grabbing attention isn’t easy. There are too many stimuli all at once. That’s why, when this family thought their dog could make art by licking the canvas and sell it for $15, they didn’t imagine they would cause such a stir… Or that it wouldn’t be worth it since the production of the painting and the shipping already exceeded ten dollars. That’s called desperation.

But it worked: even though Glitter eventually stopped painting and Mr. Beast never took notice, no matter how hard they tried, thanks to their GoFundMe page, they reached $40,000, paid the hospital bill, and even raised an additional 5,000. Might as well, right? Currently, they’re at a little over 41,000 dollars, the dog has stopped painting (even though the artworks weren’t as bad as one might imagine), and with luck, he will live to see ‘Hocus Pocus 3’. See? I told you the story would end well.

The Remarkable Journey of Lolita the Killer Whale: A Captive for 50 Years, Finally Set Free!

Lolita weighs 2,267 kilos and has not done shows of any kind for a year. The managers of the Seaquarium are sure that this will be positive for the animal: “I know that Lolita wants to swim in open water”

Depending on your generation, if we say “Lolita” there are two possibilities: you might think of the singer of ‘Sarandonga’ or you might think of an influencer who has been caught smoking in a bar. But there is one more whose story you have to know, one that seems inspired by ‘Free Willy’, that 1993 movie: the killer whale that, at last, is going back to the sea.

Free Lolita

August 8, 1970. Penn Cove, a place full of Washington islands. Tokitae, a four-year-old killer whale, is trapped and sold to the Miami Seaquarium for about $20,000. Eventually, based on the work of Vladimir Nabokov and as a tribute to his best-known character, she ended up being named Lolita. It was 1970, let’s not ask for exquisite sensibilities.

Lolita started living with Hugo, a male with whom she never stopped mating (without offspring) and who died ten years later. Since then, she has shared her aquarium with dolphins and whales… until, finally, at over 55 years old, it has been formally announced that the orca will be released (finally) into the sea. There, as if it were a Pixar movie, her mother, Ocean Sun, who is almost a century old and still alive, lives on.

Lolita weighs 2267 kilos and has not been doing shows of any kind for a year. Seaquarium managers are confident that this will be positive for the animal: “I know Lolita wants to swim in free water”, they said, confident that real life is like a cartoon movie. Of course, she will have to wait between 18 and 24 months to be moved, and it will cost about twenty million dollars (three zeros more than it cost at the time).

It must be said that this does not come from the Seaquarium suddenly becoming responsible, but from the fact that in 2015 there was a protest with thousands of people at the gates with the slogan #FreeLolita… And the complaints have continued and grown over the years. Come on, those 20 million buy more a good PR case than the kindness of some millionaires, who probably have not thought that after fifty years stuck in a water tank, it is difficult for her to learn to move in freedom.

Along with Lolita, there are 55 other orcas in captivity around the world, four of them in Spain: Adam, Morgan, Tekoa and Keto, in the Loro Parque de Tenerife. Will we ever see their release?
