Gyges posted:What about Man of Steel shows Superman as a guy ready for a death cult to worship him? Did you see the shots from the other trailer of the people in Dia de Los Muertos dress looking at him like a god. It obviously all ties in.

Wade Wilson posted:They could always borrow from TDKR some more and have a line about the yellow bat symbol being where the armor was most effective, so when criminals aimed for that they were decreasing the odds of actually hurting him. That is the only place to aim and reliably hit the target so I hope nobody says that really stupid thing in the movie.

TFRazorsaw posted:The characters stating a thing to be true about another character's actions doesn't mean the movie has done a successful job of justifying that assertion. It is very possible for one character to give another undeserved praise because their words are provided to them by writers who want them to say it. Man of Steel does not do a good job of convincing me Jonathan Kent did anything constructive at all, that just gives him credit for it. If you are going to ignore everything in the movie that goes against your opinion what is the point of discussing it with you?

He says outright that he wants his column to be about the poor people of Gotham. White says no and then Clark does it anyway. Then there are all the times he helps poor people as Superman. I don't think you can say he's become disassociated with poor people.

Sir Kodiak posted:Fortunately nobody has. But he has moved away from them more than where he was in Man of Steel. I don't agree. He isn't living that way anymore (but he never had to, just like Bruce Wayne didn't have to in Batman Begins) but he is using his position in the media and his superhero persona to try to help the lower classes. He is doing more for them now than he ever was as a wanderer.

Just like most other criticisms against BvS and MoS yours relies on outside sources, canon. All we know is that Lex isn't going to a facility where he will be let out immediately. Instead he's going to a place where he will actually be punished for his mass murder and where Batman will be able to monitor him.

Neurolimal posted:I don't think you need comprehensive knowledge of Batman to recognize that Lex being sent to an Asylum is presented as a terrible thing to Lex. And that this reflects poorly on the films opinion of asylums. Yeah it's terrible for him because he thought he was going to a hospital and be out in 3 months and is instead going to prison. It really tugs on my heart strings.

I doubt he managed to grow up in Nowhere, Kansas without seeing idk, Young Frankenstein or similar Frank's Monster stories. People aren't unworthy of life for the crimes of being ugly and undead. You cant be this stupid.

Ape Agitator posted:Why would Zod terraform earth unless he could rebuild the Kryptonian population which was impossible without Superman's genetic material. That was a necessary part if I recall correctly. So even if Zod visited later, he wouldn't have given it a second glance, right? They were looking for a suitable planet to terraform. Earth would have been altered and exploited for its resources either way.

CelticPredator posted:Superman in the Theatrical just didn't connect with me at all. I just didn't see his problem. People don't like you on the TV? Boo hoo? Like, being a hero isn't about getting a reward. It's about doing the right thing. But with the added elements, it's a totally different story. Superman isn't sad that people don't like him. He's sad because people keep loving up. The idea that he could inspire people to be better isn't working, no matter how hard he tries. Both as Superman, and as Clark Kent. It's interesting how much he does care about his job at The Daily Planet because he could, in theory, make a big difference there. But when he keeps finding out how people consider Batman a hero, and all the hosed up and terrible things he does, it pushes him over the edge. The theatrical cut covers all of this just fine. That you seem to think Superman is seeking some kind of reward is really strange and not supported in the movie at all.

Halloween Jack posted:Systema! Yeah, that's a Russian martial art that, as near as I can tell, was invented by Russian aikidoka who then claimed they had this top secret martial art that had been used by Spetsnaz. It's pretty awful. One thing I learned out of reading about it is that apparently there's a lot of superstition in Russia about psychic powers, which the Systema guys chose to play up. I even heard about one of Fedor Emelianenko's people blaming psychic powers when he lost a fight. They blamed a witch doctor, not a psychic, when he lost to Bigfoot Silva.

Just because Perry knows Clark is Superman doesn't mean his credentials are falsified. That is a weird jump to make. I don't think he knew though.

CottonWolf posted:The state defines law and punishes infringements of that law. Isn't having a monopoly on force the basically definition of the state? I'm not laughing at the concept of the state, I'm laughing at the inherent trust you seem to put in the state to not abuse that power (which it does almost in perpetuity while constantly grasping for more) over good guy Clark Kent who isn't trying to exercise his power over anyone. He isn't overthrowing democratically elected governments in South America, he isn't invading other countries for colonialist reasons. Maybe he should though.
