It is not uncommon for journalists to make a fuss on television news. We’re not going to blame them, it’s human, it can happen to anyone. After the M6 news which had dedicated a report on the world of manga and who was made fun of by Internet users this weekend, it’s France 2’s turn to be ridiculed on social networks because of James Gunn’s next film which will feature Superman.
The news show a series of jokes around pop culture
Indeed, remember, two weeks ago, M6 received an impressive number of comments, remarks and mockery following a report devoted to the world of manga. The channel wanted to focus on how manga were made and published in Japan and by addressing the fortunes generated by the most famous Japanese mangakas, the editorial staff made a mistake. To represent Eiichiro Oda the creator of One Piecethe authors of the subject had taken a photo of Eiji Aonuma, one of the creators of the series The Legend of Zelda. It didn’t take very long for Internet users to rush to mock the M6 news.
A Superman trailer that smacks of fakeness
This weekend, new action but this time in the 8 p.m. news on France 2 presented by Laurent Delahousse. This Saturday, October 19, the channel’s editorial team decides to focus on Superman. It must be said that this superhero has been talked about quite a bit lately. Firstly becausea documentary titled Super/Man : The Christopher Reeve Story was released on October 9 in cinemas.
Directed by Ian Bonhote and Peter Ettedgui, this documentary film looks back at the career of the actor who played the Man of Steel in four films between 1978 and 1987. The cult interpreter of Superman became quadriplegic following a horse riding accident. The poignant documentary recounts his return to life and his fight to help people with disabilities.
Finally, if the superhero from Krypton is getting people talking, it’s also because James Gunnwho arrived at the head of DC Studios to overhaul the DCEU, will make a new film simply titled Superman.
In the France 2 report, the journalists therefore discussed this future production in which David Corenswet will succeed Henry Cavill. To illustrate the report, images from the James Gunn film were used. Of course, the journalists correctly credited that the images came from said production except that… this is not the case!
Huge YOLO this evening in the France 2 news, which chose to close a subject on #Superman to show images of the next James Gunn…
Sorry, from a fanmade AI armored trailer found on YouTube.
