My theory is this is more about politics and funding - because the milestones influence what services get paid for by the gov. So when you move or remove the goalposts kids with delays won’t need to be provided free services.

Another condescending scolder who will probably be asking “why don’t people engage in politics” when voter turnout for the next election is low These people are insufferable and they’re why Liberals and Canadians are going to lose 😔

Seems like there's a possibility I kind of nailed it in this Looper article 2 years ago when I tried to imagine how Gunn's sensibilities as a filmmaker could influence Superman www.looper.com/1173466/jame...

What makes Gunn a perfect director for "Superman" is his history of writing outsider characters. The connecting thread running through the director's work is the theme of outsiders and outcasts becoming connected to others and healing themselves through those bonds. As early as "Super," his first, twisted take on the superhero genre, Gunn was writing about people on the margins of society who form unlikely friendships. He refined that message in his "Guardians of the Galaxy" movies, and again in "The Suicide Squad" and "Peacemaker."

Gunn may need to soften his edge for a "Superman" movie, but the character fits that mold in every regard. Kal-El is the ultimate outsider, a literal alien among the Earthlings who eventually develops into their devoted protector. Imagine, if you will, a movie featuring a young Clark or Jon Kent. He knows he is different from those around him by virtue of (if nothing else) his powers, and this drives him into solitude. He has a deep, unwavering love of humanity, but fears they will never accept him because he has been rejected in the past by a former friend named Lex Luthor. However, he finds community among those on the margins of society, who take him in and teach him that being selflessly kind is always worth the risk. Armed with that understanding, he returns to Metropolis, where Luthor has risen to political power as a hate-mongering demagogue, to confront him once and for all.

Not only would such a story avoid the previous issues with "Superman" movies, but it would honor the character's long legacy while also setting Gunn's vision apart in a way that feels right at home with the rest of the director's filmography.

The party who elected an old nobody over a young star couldn’t have lost; it must have been rigged! Dems could reflect on why they lost and change but they’re choosing whining and conspiracy theories instead.
