He actually explains it fairly well in the theatrical version as well though. The aliens highjack the human satellite networks to coordinate. So we just simply tap into that to plant the virus. It’s not that complicated, yet EVERYBODY that makes fun of ID4 says that this is a huge plot hole.

It all has to do with the times. Back then it made for an interesting narrative and with where we were heading with the technology. It actually made half sense in theory. Implausible, but a good theoretical narrative that was original back then.

Now it's overused in film and to top off with how far our computing…

I’m 99% sure that that was actually in the original screenplay.

I think you will find that it was a Powerbook 5300 used in ID4, which unless I miss my guess, was running System 7.0.1 at the time

Bro, easy does it. Amadeus Cho was a little Asian kid before the whole ‘replacement hulk’ thing was even a thing. He was an established character, with the necessary know-how and good relationship with Banner/Hulk.

Know why The Walking Dead and Saga are so successful? They aren’t superheroes.

Nope. The idea that Hulk can be “passed along” like an STD or a re-gifted fruitcake is pretty damn stupid.

This isn’t without precedent. I remember one story had it that the ‘real’ first time he went Hulk was killing his dad in a fit of rage. In other words, it was always there, the radiation just gave him power.

It’s set in a really dark timeline.

It’s a play on Superman co-creator name, Jerry Siegel.

Now I’m just imagining South Park’s Russell Crowe in the Jor-El costume.

The most important thing to remember is that the most attractive Kryptonian with best haircut died while being attracted to sweater fondling summer camp cook.

And his second cousin, Seg-Way!

It’s a mess really. A show about Superman’s grandad? That makes zero sense... there are so many other great sci-fi novels and concepts to make shows out of. This really is scrapping the bottom of the barrel when there are three or for perfectly good barrels around.

Crowe: I was in Gladiator. The audience expects a certain level of ass-kickingness from me.

It’s a poorly written movie, period.

This will never explain why in Man of Steel Jor-El, a member of Krypton’s Science Caste, is able to take several well trained soldiers form Krypton’s Warrior Caste. What was with that scene? Did Russell Crowe just want his own action scene? More likely Snyder didn’t listen when Geoff Johns told him.

Fortunately this isn’t the DCU, an “O” at the end of your name automatically puts you on the No-Fly list.

Thor having a showdown with Ulik while Loki pulled strings in the background and continued to pretend to be Thor’s buddy for a bit probably would have been far superior to the actual plot we got though... The whole Loki turning evil thing was relatively well handled for what it was, but it was rushed due to the need…
