Oh, heck no. Man of Steel had a LOT more problems than just that one scene. The tone, the product placement, the "letting my dad die", the lack of chemistry between him and Lois, the "I destroyed this man's entire career" scene with the truck, the patronizing Jesus symbolism, the massive and catastrophic number of…

This is mine:

Miles is 14 years old. That guy is over 30. Miles being a child who is trying to figure out how to be a super hero is critical to the story.

No. Just no. As a black person, I find it demeaning that black people have to take on super heroes that are already established. And Miles Morales? It comes off as just an attempt to cram as much diversity in there as you can. This kid doesn't have the history or personality that we want to see on the big screen.…

Actually, this graphic exists ^^

RaGe?

UM

I am totally astounded because that really is a pretty great idea for a power. I had been assuming he'd just get some sort of ridiculous extra power to make him even more ridiculous or rad (energy forearm-blades or something), but this really works.

HOLY SHIT DUDE I JUST GOT TICKETS TO THE SPONGEBOB MOVIE PREMIERE WANNA GO?

You managed to work Star Trek, Star Wars, and "crossing the streams" into one post. I'm giving you the Pewter Dragon award as Nerd of the Week. Hi-5 *whiff*

"Stud-free"? So I guess there's no Captain Kirk aboard.

Then Spider-Man came out and proved that people do enjoy seeing brightly colored costumes.

I hope the movie isn't quite as serious-pants as the trailer makes it out to be (I've become allergic to post-Nolan overseriousness in some comic movies) but I do like that the trailer didn't make it out to be Just Another Superhero Movie.

but then when X-Men First Class came out they found out that having brightly colored outfits totally does work. maybe being more like the comics is better?

But black though..even then I was tired of the Matrix black leather outfits. Bright yellow blue costumes worked well in First Class and it was even more dated. Avengers was brightly coloured and it was fun!

As a non-reader of F4, from what I've read it just seems like either F4 was the wrong property to change the tone, or the new tone they chose was wrong, because even moreso than lots of other comic book properties and heroes it seems fans of F4 REALLY identify with its...fantastical nature. Maybe this newer sci-fi…

Its a strap around his wrist.
He spins it by the strap and flings it, and the strap holds him in place.

Also, this is a super strong, super powered god using a magically enchanted item with its own flying properties. When he calls for it, it comes to him. When he throws it, it comes back to him. It flys on its own.

"Your Eyes Won't Believe This Man Can Actually Walk On Planks!!"

Or you could tell her that it is where you keep your gun locked up and that guns are for killing and you own that gun for shooting people dead. And that dead people are dead forever. Then you could teach her some actual gun safety in case she ever stumbles across your firearm.

Just riffing here.
