@Sleeper99999:disqus  I'm the guy that can pull out my stacks of Essential Fantastic Fours and cite plenty of instances where the Thing has trouble lifting something that weighs much less than that, or the Human Torch's flame running out after shooting a few fireballs, etc etc.

Disagreeing with my rationale is not the same thing as me not having one.

@avclub-a171d9b078d8fd668b699188db001042:disqus Basically. I think that is one of the main reasons he's not very popular in the DCU, although maybe they rectified that in the New 52.

I don't think many people would argue that there is one 'true' way to do Superman, but without certain characteristics, the character is lost.

"Every single instance you cite share several key characteristics in common, mostly lacking in this movie. Most people who have a problem with Superman killing Zod are upset because it was HANDLED POORLY."

Looked up the Heineken thing about Skyfall, and that is pretty stupid.

With all that intellect, maybe you could address the other points the article brings up.

The Waid review is widely circulated around the internet and cited in the article above. The article in the link I provided is a good example of the level of criticism Waid's review has received, in that it fails to address his points and instead interprets them to some weird, perceived complaints.

Wait, you're trying to reply as incoherently as possible?

People are upset bcause of how it was handled. He was punching Zod through buildings just moments before. There was a way to earn that moment, but this shallow film didn't, imo.

I've never seen any of the Daniel Craig James Bonds, but the character has always had a streak of misogyny. So if what you're saying is true, it fits.

Every single instance you cite share several key characteristics in common, mostly lacking in this movie. Most people who have a problem with Superman killing Zod are upset because it was HANDLED POORLY.

Defining the nature of magic in the DCU is like defining exactly how far Mr Fantastic can stretch or how much the Thing can benchpress.

If something like that happened early on in the New 52, fans would have cried foul. It's cheap shock and doesn't really fit the character, in personality or powers.

The part about creatures born of magic being able to harm him wasn't specific enough?

Google and Wikipedia are things that exist.

Imagine there was a James Bond movie that featured him chugging Miller Lite and driving Ford pick up trucks. Regardless if it was entertaining, it'd be a pointless subversion of a character people have loved for decades.

I feel like the people defending this movie on comment threads (this and others) have no reading comprehension and no desire to engage people's actual problems with the movie.

If Kryptonians are invulnerable in yellow sun, then how did Superman break Zod's neck exactly?

I haven't seen them in a really long time but they're certainly up there. Fifty years from now I bet more people will still be watching them than this CGI turd.
