Genuine question - is everything OK? It’s just that this seems a disproportionate reaction to seeing an article on the casting for a comic film on a site that specialises in nerdy news of exactly this type.

I’ve really liked Hoechlin. I wish they’d make more of an effort to physically distinguish Clark and Superman, but that’s a common complaint of mine for live-action versions of the character (barring Reeve, obviously). He really does play them differently at least. He might not be my favourite Superman, but I think…

A writer needs to be careful about that line of thought. Taken to that extreme we could end up with a Superman who instead of standing for truth and justice, and being such a beacon of hope that he makes everyone around him want to be the best versions of themselves because he believes it of them, we could get a dour,…

James Gunn’s Superman Movie Has Found Its Clark Kent and Lois Lane

A childish rant telling other people to grow up. Classic internet. 

Yttrium has taken the true facts that fictional characters are purely arbitrary constructs and thus very flexible, and ran with it to the point of absurdity. As far as he’s concerned, an author can write any character as anything — as long as a writer decide that this mundane travel agent that spend the entire movie…

Midge Maisel is practically Lois Lane but with a different job.

Lois Lane has always been played by an actress who’s older than the Clark Kent/Superman actor.

YES! Rooted for Brosnahan from the beginning, she'll be perfect

Yeah, canonically Lois is always a couple years older than Clark.  It’s part of why she doesn’t take him seriously. 

Are you talking about the actors ages or the characters’ ages? If it’s the first, several actresses that have played Lois were older than their respective Clark Kents. Margot Kidder was four years older than Christopher Reeve.  Teri Hatcher is two years older than Dean Cain. Amy Adams is almost ten years older than…

Amy Adams is like a full 10 years older than Cavill.

It is not. Bitsie Tulloch is 42, Tyler Hoechlin is 35. Teri Hatcher is 2 years older than Dean Cain. Margot Kidder was older than Christopher Reeve. 

Rachel Brosnahan as Lois is...yes, thank you, James Gunn. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I cannot imagine anyone better. 

One of my favorite episodes of Strange New Worlds was episode 5, where they were getting repairs at the starbase and the crew was off having fun little adventures. (Spock and his fiancee mind swap! Nurse Chapel goes on a date! La’an and Una do the Enterprise scavenger hunt to show how spontaneous and fun they are!) It…

Hoisted by their own Picard.

I think you replied from the wrong account, Mr. Obviously The Same Person I Replied To. The fact that you think having a woman in a movie who is maybe important as something other than a love interest is “MESSAGE pandering” says everything about your level of discernment that I need to hear.

The Commonwealth had chocolate and other stuff that made me wonder if there was still some kind of international trade going on.

And a rotten apple is half good. It’s still rotten lol. 

There’s no real explanation for why they are committing acts of violence [...]. It doesn’t appear as if the Skrulls want to undermine any systems of government; what they’re doing is plain old terrorism, full of random high-density, high-visibility targets all over the globe.
