With Margot Kidder, I understood why Clark would fall in love with her. The same with Teri Hatcher (and earlier, the late Phyllis Coates)... she took no prisoners, she was never a damsel in distress because she put herself in distress on purpose to get the story. Just like Superman, she didn’t care what happened to…

It kind of seemed like the Superman’s main purpose in BvS was ONLY saving Lois Lane over and over.

heh Man, I still cringe when I see that. Still, I would rather watch that than MoS, which amps the Jesustude up to 11.

Some of the films pushed it a little harder than others.

My biggest problem with Lois Lane in BvS is that her entire investigation subplot leads to her discovering what we the audience already knew - that Lex Luthor is the bad guy. In other words, you could cut it entirely and we wouldn’t lose any pertinent info.

While I certainly won’t agree with her on the Jesus allegory (though a lot of people think that, of course), she’s definitely correct about Lois in the DCCU. Such a waste.

I wouldn’t even say that WB does a particularly bad job at casting its films, mind you. Ryan Reynolds could have made a very good Green Lantern. Henry Cavill theoretically could be a great Superman (see his turn in Man from UNCLE, for example). Ben Affleck could be a great Batman. The problem is in the writing. Don’t…

Also, even before the first movie Iron Man rolled out, we didn’t know Marvel was making an Iron Man movie or the people didn’t even think it was going to do well, but you know what everyone talked about when they said RDJ was playing Tony Stark? They said Tony Stark is RDJ and RDJ is Tony Stark, there is no difference…

Say what you like about Marvel, but it’s been much, much better about its characterizations than WB has so far. I mean, Chris Evans IS Cap. That’s Cap up there on the screen, in the way that Christopher Reeve WAS Superman. Vision is great, Stark is great, Spiderman was fantastic, Black Panther was a triple home…

I clicked the link, I read that interview, and I can’t believe that. Snyder can’t be that inept and out of touch with the characters, can he?

He’s also said shit like this unprompted:

There’s a well-known method for taking out Superman. But Diana? That’s the tricky part.

So a bunch of criminals who Batman put in prison are now going to put up a plausible fight against Superman AND Wonder Woman? Seems legit.

Well, the mind control he was exerting may have been subconscious. He never explicitly waves his hand at her and commands her to love him, but with a Jedi as powerful in the Force as he was, it might have been possible that he was exerting pressure on everyone around him.

I thought Leia kissing Luke in New Hope was evidence enough Lucas was making it up as he went.

Nope, she died of a broken heart. Medical droid: “We don’t know why. She has lost the will to live.”

Um, you’re really giving Lucas too much credit here.

My last viewing with some friends led to a theory that Anakin is using the Force to mind control Padme during the entirety of their relationship. If you assume that is what he is doing (which is really easy with that super-creepy vibe he is giving off), you can see the exact moment Padme’s will breaks. And then her…

Padme dying is a continuity error. In Return of the Jedi, Luke asks Leia what she remembers of her real mother. Leia says that she was always sad. So it hints at the fact that Leia was partially raised by Padme before being adopted by the Organa’s. It was a stupid plot device by Lucas in Revenge of the Sith.

I thought that she wouldn’t show her kids the Prequels because it’s not a really good performance, albeit through no fault of her own but because Lucas’ inexperience with directing. I mean when you somehow get a wooden performance out of Sam Jackson, you know it’s the director’s fault.
