They tend to be more specific than that. For MoS, it was the "jerk-ass Pa Kent" decision that sent the whole moral arc of the movie completely off the rails. Add that to the "Superman never tries to save anybody" during the big fight scenes (ESPECIALLY the Zod fight), and you've effectively wrecked Superman's entire

That's the frustrating thing about these movies so far, they've both been just two or three bad decisions away from being really good. But those two or three decisions are just epically fucking terrible.

I'd say DSV generally looked quite a bit better than L&C, but L&C was also trying to do more complicated stuff, usually in well lit areas. (Flying, landing, and taking off sequences in L&C looked good, almost everything else was off). At the time you also had Star Trek: TNG getting into its middle seasons, DS9

Eh, I remember thinking everything was pretty damned chintzy even during the first-run of the show. It's got that "everything's on the same Warner Bros' backlot with some sloppy green-screen" thing that looked more at home for no-budget live-action Saturday morning kid's shows like Power Rangers than a prime time

Yeah, this is one of those TV show absolutes that doesn't exist in the real world. Kinda like the "but you said you'd NEVER lie to me! I can't trust you anymore!" that this show has also used. For actual, real human beings, when a loved one has a damned good reason to lie, we're okay with it because we're not

I don't think you can use Bond as an example of character purity. Roger Moore dressed up like a rodeo clown, for Christ's sake.

Yeah, just look back at the crushingly awful "special" effects from Lois & Clark (featuring the acting brilliance of Scott Valentine). https://www.youtube.com/wat…

It can be done, but the point is to do it in a way that respects Superman's character and gives a little extra depth to the big blue boy scout. Snyder . . . didn't do that.

Yeah, the red trunks are just really tough to justify and even harder to design. They're based off a wrestler look from a LONG gone era, so the visual reference doesn't exist anymore. Plus, they're just never look right on a real human being. You either have the "granny panty" effect of the Christopher Reeve era

And the London Underground is not a political movement.

Oh yeah, it makes perfect sense that they killed it . . . where would it go? We're married to Ripley's perspective the whole movie, to cut away and give a preview of the colony.

. . . . which I don't.

Well, the script could've been standalone, with sloppy cut-and-paste to make it into a Highlander movie . . . sort of. That's the only sane explanation for the "and they were ALL aliens" crap they yanked out of somebody's ass. And yeah, that nonsensical high-speed drive was replicated AGAIN in the third movie, which

Oh yeah, I actually set my VCR to record it, back when you only did that for the really important stuff.

Sure, as long as the student lives full-time in the area. They COULD put him up in a hotel, but at a bare minimum of a hundred bucks a night, that would get expensive for a whole school year. (Not that Cam would bother keeping him around after Football season. "Aww, you wanna go to Prom with your long-term girlfriend

Well, I don't think it had anything to do with money. I'm assuming it's the kid's senior year and had been in that school for a few years, and in terms of college scouts and general social life it'd be better to finish out at his High School. So it's a nice thing to do, but that's not what was important to Cam, if he

Absolutely, until American slavery, there was no such thing as the "white race", or any race based on skin color at all (people tended to think in terms of nationality). It was invented specifically to make poor white people feel like they were on the same "team" as rich white people and were superior to poor (or

That's just because they're striving to be like the comics.

Totally different guy who just happened to have the exact same mutation.
