I like how Hal is bringing Supes a burger while everyone else has jewels. Kal-El the merciless will not be pleased.

If I was Superman I'd gather up all the Right Wing leaders and pundits and exile then to their own planet. Hey they keep saying how they were successful without any help or privilege so they should be fine.

If I had Superman's powers, I would literally be Stalin. - You, right now

I think a lot of us were really on board with Injustice Superman until he started killing heroes and teaming up with Sinestro.

Can someone give me a run down on any production difficulties for The Amazing Spiderman 2? I finally watched it a couple of nights ago and was terribly let down after enjoying the first movie alot.

Was Harry Osborn forced on the story at all? I enjoyed Electro as a loser that is infatuated with Spiderman, but it seems like they quickly dropped any sort of character for him and just made him "bad guy hungry for power" during the first fight scene.

A large part of the weirdness of ASM2 was that they were desperate to create a universe around it - Harry Osborne was needed so they could make a Sinister 6 movie (which very well might not get made because of ASM2's reception).

Also for some reason they keep putting Richard Parker into the movies but audiences have said multiple times that they really don't care about the character. ASM 1 was supposed to have a bigger subplot with him but they cut it out after test screenings.

The major problem facing the production was that the team of Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman were attached the project in a dual role as writer/producers, and they're mostly known for crankin' out big budget turds like the Transformers reboot, Cowboys and Aliens, and Star Trek: Into Darkness.

And yeah, the half-assed world building certainly didn't help.

Who in their right mind really thought anyone gives a poo poo about Richard Parker? I care so little about him that I've been a big Spidey fan since before I could read, and I frequently forget that his first name is Richard.

Not only is the Richard Parker story dull and cliched, they manage to drag it through two movies without any payoff whatsoever.

I thought the opening Richard Parker scene was good, but it needed to be a major focus of the story and have a really cool payoff.

Every hack director wants to make movies about families and relationships because they think that is what a film truly is. So we get boring family drama in our movies about guys in tights.

Unless they are played by John Slatterly.

Pretty much everyone was assuming DOFP would be a god-awful train wreck. It's a real stretch to argue that wasn't a common opinion. It had pretty terrible advertising.
