Not a big fan of “Vonn’s career was also unfortunately defined by injuries.” It’d be better to let her success define her career. Maybe replace with plague? 

This is an unfair question because it’s definitely skewed by what you watched as kid when you had enough free time to just rewatch the same movies over and over (in which case it’s probably Captain Ron...ok, as an adult, I’d still watch Captain Ron).

Counterpoint: That action scene is bad and worth nothing.

I mean, how much muscle you develop is partially determined by your genes and body type. I can testify as a tall, skinny guy who goes to gym regularly, muscles don’t come easy for me and there are other guys who will ever have a six-pack or calves. That being said, Terry did the work and it shows. Doesn’t matter what…

So you’re basically Meat Loaf is what your saying?

I learned recently that Central City was originally where Athens, Ohio is, which makes no sense because Athens is basically a college town and it ain’t got no skyscrapers. I guess they’ve since moved it to Missouri, so maybe it’s supposed to be like St. Louis or Kansas City now, which kinda makes my brain hurt less.

You’re pretty spot on with my interpretation; it springs from thinking, “How can they retcon all the weird shit that happened in MoS in order to make Superman fun again for future movies without rebooting the whole fucking mess. And while I think MoS is a little more consistant than you give credit for, you pretty…

I think the inconsistency can work in Jonathon’s case, but someone needs to point it out and reveal that even though Jonathon was paranoid and afraid, it was only out of love for his son, and that he actually embodied those virtues that Clark values, which he see by his actions. But yeah, all other weird…

Dennis O’Neil described Gotham as,“Manhattan below Fourteenth Street at eleven minutes past midnight on the coldest night in November,”so you’re in good company.

That’s funny, because growing up I always thought Gotham was supposed to be Chicago and Metropolis was NYC. And more to your other point, Gotham and Metropolis have always been pretty close to each other; it’s not just BvS that has them across the bay from each other.

I enjoy the movie on certain level as it is (I think I have comment on it somewhere in this mess). I just view the film as a fixer-upper. But thanks for the warning! I’ve always felt there’s a really good movie in Man of Steel. It just might be in smaller details that I’ve missed.

All in a day’s work, good citizen!

It would’ve also been a wildly cool decision to have her opposite the much younger Routh, both from a general inverting the standard Hollywood age gap standpoint (the Marvel movies have actually been subtly good about this!)

That’s a good reading, but I’m not sure the film is clear enough on that. It’d be better if Clark and Jon were fighting over specifically if he should be helping people with his powers rather than the vague fight they had. It’d also be better if Martha made it clear that Jon was not only wrong but a hypocrite (after al…

Relevant.

What Jonathan should’ve taught Clark is that yes, you should use your powers to help people, but the moment you reveal them you’ll also be feared and distrusted. Therefore, Clark should only reveal himself when he’s ready.

Near as I can figure, Snyder was trying to make Clark’s decision to save people spring from his own sense of responsibility as opposed to just doing what his two dad’s told him to do. Problem is, we never get a scene where Clark states why he saves people; he just kinda does.

I feel this movie need to add or adjust maybe just a few scenes and it’d be a lot better. As it stands, it’s okay but never really earns any of the emotional moments. Somehow, it feels less emotional than a Christopher Nolan movie, which is an accomplishment of sorts.

This is a weird movie for me because before this movie, I didn’t particularly care for Superman. I’d watched the Bruce Timm series as a kid and I’d read the Death of Superman, but the character never spoke to me, at least at the time. Then I saw this and it kinda changed my mind, but not because the movie was good.…

People tend to forget how much modern interpretations of Superman comes from the movies. For example, Smallville was originally within driving distance of Metropolis. It wasn’t until the Superman came out that it was relocated to the midwest.
