Behind-the-scenes footage from the making of James Gunn’s Superman that shows Lois Lane actor Rachel Brosnahan still kissing Clark Kent actor David Corenswet after the director yelled cut has sparked a debate online about the actress’ behavior and whether or not it was appropriate.

Those discussions only went further viral after her husband Jason Ralph liked a comment on Instagram suggesting the Superman co-stars had turned him into a “cuck.”

The specific clip in question — echoed by intimate photos and videos of them from the press junket, which *tons* of actors over the years have admitted is a ploy to promote projects — sees the pair filming one of the movie’s early scenes in which Clark returns home from work and greets Lois in the kitchen. The scene is playful, flirty, and romantic, with Clark picking Lois up, putting her on the counter, and kissing her.

Brosnahan kissing Corenswet after Gunn yell’s cut, however — and the attitude with which she seemingly does it — has sparked a debate on social media about whether or not it’s acceptable within the boundaries of “acting,” while memes about how others would react if they were either Corenswet or Ralph in this situation have also gone viral.

“If they released behind the scenes footage of my girl giving superman undirected smooches after the director yelled cut they would have to scoop me off of I-75,” another viral tweet, with over 22 million views at the time of this writing, joked.

“If Rachel Brosnahan looks at me like that and kisses me like that I would also be able to lift a building,” another cracked.

“Feel like I’m fairly secure in my masculinity, but seeing my girl kiss Superman behind the scenes would make me SICK,” one tweeter chimed in.

I actually let out a sigh when I metaphorically cracked my mental knuckles to star writing this article. I’m not an actor, nor am I married to one, so I cannot speak on whether or not Brosnahan’s behavior is appropriate or not — a fact that seems to be lost on a large portion social media (what else is new?). So, what I’m about to say isn’t necessarily a defense of her, but rather a criticism of the current place we find ourselves, and that’s a world where everything is documented and analyzed.

Whether or not her behavior is acceptable is up to her, her husband, Corenswet, and those who witnessed on set — not the rest of us. Regardless, moments like these have been happening between actors on movie sets since the invention of the medium about a hundred years ago. And while behind-the-scenes footage certainly also predates Superman, the way it gets dissected and turned into discourse is unique to the modern age, and is, frankly, utterly exhausting for all involved.
