I liked Superman 1 because we got to know Clark, despite his god-like powers. He had a mischievous sense of humor, which Pa Kent was quick to keep from getting out of hand. We see him frustrated, and joyful.

What flaws? She had selective naivete for humor purposes, but nothing she did ever had negative consequences.

I heard some voice actors perform that script over several hours. They loved it (despite the flaws they commented on during breaks), especially with how empowering it made Diana. It certainly helps with actors who "get" the dialogue and know how to perform it.

I thought you picked the resemblance to Harding because the tissue has been dead and rotting for 94 years.

Ape shall not kill ape anchorman!

"Were you listening to me, or looking at Lady McDuff in her red Elizabethan dress? Look again."

It works when Ian McKellen is standing on a burnt-out jeep shouting "a horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse!"

That was painful to her to see, but not a challenge. There was nothing she could have done to stop it, as she was unaware it was going to happen. They also made her invulnerable to poison, so she wasn't even threatened by the gas when looking through the village for survivors. By challenge, I mean something that would…

I agree with the second sentence.
But that is exactly what an ideal is (a principle to be aimed for, even if it is unlikely to become reality). He does have those ideals.

That's a fair point about DC characters (historically) being more "iconic".
(That is also an answer I was looking for. I don't see this movie as being as great as others are saying, but you've pointed out a specific thing that I'm looking that some others aren't.)

One thing WW didn't borrow (and I wish they did) was setbacks for the hero to overcome. You mentioned the "Star Spangled Man" scene. Cap is finally feeling good about what he is doing, and then we immediately see him get a huge disappointment in Europe.

The actors had chemistry. I don't think the script did them any favors.

And Cap even snaps about Tony's quips in the first Avenger's movie. He gives Tony shit for not taking things more seriously (although we see that he is concerned about a lot of things).

There was about five seconds where Thor translated his advanced science ("magic") to Jane's astophysics terms. They could have played off his practical experience with her theoretical knowledge, but that was quickly dropped.

He would start, five minutes into his testimony, by denying that he ever swore to tell the truth when the hearing started.

There used to be a TV show called Divorce Court, where actors re-enacted supposedly real cases.

What do you mean "imagine"?
And what is this about being ill-informed?
(I didn't read anything in the Onion about that!)

Or… the Onion is hitting a little too close to mark.
Seems that he "doth protest too much" when he felt the need to tell people that he is not a "two-inch-tall, mucus-covered" alien parasite.

I can remember that there were scenes where the characters were fighting. But other than how the fight started and how it ended, the middle is literally a blur.
