YouTuber Critical Drinker ran his own Superman poll during a live stream, and the results weren’t even close.
Unlike Grace Randolph’s poll — which excluded thousands of Snyder fans due to years of blocking — Drinker’s audience poll wasn’t skewed.
And fans made their choice immediately.
With more than 8,000 people watching live, fans picked Man of Steel over James Gunn’s Superman within minutes.
Out of 2,191 votes at the time of the screenshot, a whopping 90% chose Snyder’s film, leaving Gunn’s Superman with just 10%.
A Poll That Actually Reflects the Audience
Drinker hasn’t blocked the SnyderVerse community, so his poll reached a full cross-section of the fandom. That’s a direct contrast to Randolph’s poll, where a huge portion of pro-Snyder accounts couldn’t vote.
The fact that Snyder dominated a poll in an open environment makes Randolph’s poll — where Snyder won by only 1% — basically meaningless and completely worthless.
Massive Reach, Massive Signal
Critical Drinker has over 2.3 million subscribers, and his live streams regularly draw large, engaged audiences. When a creator with that reach runs a spontaneous poll and Snyder wins with 90% of the vote, that’s not noise — that’s a clear indicator of where the fan energy still is.
Man of Steel continues to resonate, especially as SnyderVerse interest surges across social platforms and international metrics.
We’re told when WBD is sold that the SnyderVerse will return.
The Box Office Shows Fans Picked Snyder Long Before These Polls
The fan polling lines up with the box office history. James Gunn’s Superman finished with $616.6 million worldwide, well below Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel, which earned $670.1 million back in 2013.
Adjusted for today’s dollars, Man of Steel comes in at nearly $1 billion — a massive gap that shows how strong the global interest was in Snyder’s version of Superman.
Snyder also crushed Gunn internationally. Man of Steel performed far better overseas and especially in China, where Gunn’s film stalled. The foreign audience was a major driver of Snyder’s DCEU success, and it continues to be a market where fans show stronger support for his take on the character.
