The now-deleted comment was screenshot and circulated to create backlash against Ralph who has been referred to by some as “insecure.” Others defended him as saying that the like was sarcastic or maybe accidental; one Reddit user mentioned, “It’s probably a ‘get a load of this’ moment.” Ralph turned off comments, adding yet another layer of speculation regarding his motives.
Social Media: A Division: For Adulating and Overreacting
The response is mixed on social media. Some feel it should not have been present on the screen at all, while others laud the much the dedication shown by the actors.
Do people really not understand the concept of two people who kiss in a movie not being a couple? They don’t think Superman is real right?

To some fans, the kiss seems like a result of their character’s roles, as demonstrated by an X post stating, “It is within 18 frames, unreactable.” However, some in the public, tend to be uncomfortable with just that, especially considering Brosnahan and Corenswet almost married, and the controversy is highlighted by the challenges actors face regarding contact intimacy on screen versus the perceptions outside, magnified through its release and renewed DC storyline.
