It also scared the shit outta me during a couple action sequences.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">I can handle a lot of violence in films. I wouldn\u2019t have seen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/23653939\/john-wick-chapter-4-eat-the-rich\">four John Wick films<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/review\/603959\/ballerina-review-john-wick-formula-ana-de-armas-keanu-reeves\">the <em>Ballerina<\/em> spin-off<\/a> if <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Eckv1dU_Wek\">death-by-library-book<\/a> bothered me \u2014 instead, it makes me a bit giddy. Chop some limbs up, blow some brains out, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/entertainment\/553970\/new-movies-watch-streaming-mickey-17-novocaine-g20-prime-video#tktktktk\">dip Jack Quaid\u2019s hand in boiling oil<\/a>, I\u2019m good with all that. What I\u2019m <em>not<\/em> good with is violence unto eyes, something I wasn\u2019t expecting to encounter in <em>Superman<\/em>. Though given that this is a James Gunn movie, maybe I should have seen it coming. (Pun intended.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">[<strong>Ed. note:<\/strong> Spoilers for two of <em>Superman<\/em>\u2019s action sequences follow, as well as spoilers for the ending of <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/reviews\/22610086\/the-suicide-squad-review\">The Suicide Squad<\/a><\/em>.]<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/superman-continues-james-gunns-horrifying-war-against-characters-eyes.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Early in the new <em>Superman<\/em> film, starring David Corenswet as the Big Blue Boy Scout, Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) sics a kaiju on Metropolis. It doesn\u2019t show particular intelligence or intention, behaving more like a natural disaster in kaiju form. The giant dude stumbles about, rapidly growing from moment to moment, breathing fire, wreaking havoc on Metropolis\u2019 architecture, and almost killing a dog, who\u2019s too busy barking at Superman to flee from danger.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The Justice Gang \u2014 Guy Gardner\/Green Lantern, Mr. Terrific, and Hawkgirl \u2014 arrive on the scene to help Superman stop the kaiju, whose hide is too strong to really damage. The solution? Go for the eyes. <em>Shudder<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Instead of a simple super-punch to the kaiju\u2019s peepers, Hawkgirl swings her mace at one of its eyes. I can\u2019t quite describe in detail how the rest of the fight goes, as I was watching through splayed fingers, trying to follow the action without too much phobia-inducing detail. She doesn\u2019t just swing, though \u2014 her mace gets <em>stuck<\/em> in the poor thing\u2019s eye (horrifying!) while Gardner creates a pointy pile-driver construct to comically hammer away at the kaiju\u2019s other eye.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The scene is thankfully short, and the Justice Gang pretty casually kills the kaiju. I thought that scene would be it for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doesthedogdie.com\/is-there-eye-mutilation?\">eye mutilation<\/a> in the film, but toward the end, as Supes battles Ultraman and the Engineer, he faces some eye-assault of his own. The Engineer (Mar\u00eda Gabriela de Far\u00eda) uses her nanobot body (don\u2019t think too hard about it) to envelop Superman\u2019s face, attacking his eyes and filling his lungs. On the whole, it\u2019s a nauseating scene, and not the type of body horror I\u2019d expect in a superhero flick.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/superman-continues-james-gunns-horrifying-war-against-characters-eyes-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">But I should have expected it in a James Gunn flick \u2014 the gross-out eye injuries in <em>Superman<\/em> are continuing a small trend in his movies. The worst example comes to us from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/reviews\/22610086\/the-suicide-squad-review\"><em>The Suicide Squad<\/em><\/a> (the good one, not the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/2016\/8\/3\/12367342\/suicide-squad-review\">bad 2016 film<\/a>). Harley Quinn, Bloodsport, and more anti-heroes must take down Starro in the film\u2019s finale. You know, the giant psychic starfish whose body centers on a <em>giant freakin\u2019 eyeball<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Starro\u2019s eyeball is horrifying enough to look at on its own \u2014 it\u2019s just so damn <em>big<\/em> \u2014 but the real horror starts when the Squad attacks the fella, forcing the most squeamish among us (being me) to look away. Margot Robbie\u2019s Harley leaps at Starro\u2019s eye with a javelin, not only puncturing its eye, but fully stabbing through it. Harley lands <em>inside<\/em> Starro\u2019s eye, and gleefully <em>swims<\/em> around in it. The horror continues as Ratcatcher\u2019s swarm of rats follow Harley inside, eating the starfish from within. Grotesque.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><em>The Suicide Squad<\/em> contains the worst phobia-triggering eye injury from a Gunn film, but it and <em>Superman<\/em> aren\u2019t alone. Gunn\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/reviews\/23702588\/guardians-of-the-galaxy-3-review\"><em>Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3<\/em><\/a> features a sapient walrus character with cybernetic parts that forcefully hold its eyes open at all times, creating disturbing and painful imagery. (That film is not for the faint of heart; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doesthedogdie.com\/media\/1072300#:~:text=A%20large%20part%20of%20the%20movie%E2%80%99s%20plot%20involves%20Rocket%E2%80%99s%20origin%20story%20in%20a%20lab%20where%20animals%20are%20tortured%20in%20order%20to%20be%20turned%20into%20experiments%20and%20later%20murdered.\">each of its animal characters suffers from tragic abuse.<\/a>) Nebula also notes how Thanos tortured her by removing her eyes and replacing them with cybernetic versions.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/superman-continues-james-gunns-horrifying-war-against-characters-eyes-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Though Gunn didn\u2019t write or direct it, he did produce 2019\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/2019\/5\/24\/18638555\/brightburn-review-superman-horror-movie-james-gunn\"><em>Brightburn<\/em><\/a>, a film that asks, \u201cWhat if a young Superman was instead <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/2019\/5\/29\/18644176\/brightburn-comics-evil-superman-history\">a horror movie villain<\/a>?\u201d It includes one of the more disturbing and realistic eye injuries I\u2019ve seen depicted in a film. A character gets a shard of glass stuck in her eye and removes it herself; to go into any more detail would mean I\u2019d have to re-watch the scene, and I\u2019m not going to do that. (Nor should you, unless you like nightmares.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">While researching eye mutilation in James Gunn\u2019s films (why did I do this to myself?), I learned of a phobia called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/mental-health\/ommetaphobia\">ommetaphobia<\/a>, which is a general fear of eyes. As I\u2019m part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vox.com\/2016\/4\/5\/11358268\/webmd-accuracy-trustworthy\">WebMD hypochondria<\/a> generation, of course I self-diagnosed myself with ommetaphobia.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">I don\u2019t suffer from panic attacks watching these films, but their eye mutilation sequences definitely freak me out. (It\u2019s not like I\u2019m alone in this \u2014\u00a0the \u201cinjury to eye motif\u201d is a <a href=\"https:\/\/tvtropes.org\/pmwiki\/pmwiki.php\/Main\/EyeScream\">trope that horror creators particularly love<\/a>.) In a broader sense, sometimes just looking at eyes on a screen is enough to trigger my anxiety. I watched <em>28 Weeks Later<\/em> recently (no involvement from Gunn, for the record) and it includes several close-ups of character eyes, all of which forced me to look away. The shots didn\u2019t even have to show blood from burst blood vessels to make me squeamish, but them eyes were filled with blood anyway.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">All of this is to say: Gunn, next time you make a movie, avoid the eyes, yeah? They\u2019re scary enough on their own. I don\u2019t need to see a shrieking hawk hero stuff her mace in a giant eye, too.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/movies\/613677\/superman-suicide-squad-injury-to-eye-james-gunns-trope\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2025 Superman reboot is, by all accounts, a resounding success.
