I could never get past the part from Nic Cage's neanderthal sounds like Nic Cage in any other movie. I know it's stereotypical to have your caveman grunt and all, but he shouldn't sound normal.

I'm not sure if they told Nic Cage he was a cave man when he read the parts.

Having recently watched Casablanca, I finally realized the reference that Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was making with the "Papers please!" scene with Brody. Marcus is even dressed similarly to Humphrey Bogart when he gets chased through the streets.

There's a good bit like that towards the end of the comic Preacher

Jesse Custer is just a regular human being but has spent his entire life fighting, and was taught how to fight by his uncle Jody, enormous redneck sadist. So in the fight between him and Cassidy, a vampire with superhuman strength, Jesse gets the better of his much-stronger opponent because Cassidy always just took his strength for granted and never learned how to fight. Jesse's advantage doesn't last long, but it's a good take on how a lot of superhuman and hero fighters never actually learn any technique and just get past on brute strength
The Agents from The Matrix are also like that, basically throwing haymakers instead of any technique because they are faster and stronger than anyone not named Neo.

In the same vein Superman sucked rear end as a fighter, like in Superman II when he got beat up.

But then they had him holding his own against General Zod, who you'd think would've had combat training as well as more people on his team.

Supergirl in the recent series can canonically beat Superman in a fair fight because she was trained by her super-agent sister in a DEO facility that used Kryptonite radiation to bring Kara down to human levels. She has the technique that Clark lacks, and when push comes to shove can defeat him if needed, although not easily.

Well, Zod was basically in murderous/suicidal rage at that point, and was even less familiar with his powers than Superman.

In other versions it depends. Back in the Silver Age he literally trained with Muhammed Ali, and sometimes he uses boxing techniques- makes sense, as it'd be the martial art he'd be most familiar with. Others have him usually learning from experience, and sometimes taking lessons with the martial arts master and skilled warrior who happen to be his friends on the Justice League.

It's not often he actually fights people on his power level, most of the time Superman's faced with problems and dilemmas that he has to use his powers and skills intelligently and creatively to overcome. While he's not at Silver Age levels of make-poo poo-up anymore, his heat vision and super-speed tend to be go-tos for precision power use.

Yeah, the lack of experience with his new powers does take away some of Zod's advantages. Although I think that just works with holograms and throwing your S to entangle bad guys.

I loved Superman II, but only poo poo they went off the rails in the last 10 minutes. The last part of Superman II and the entirety of Superman III are actually one movie.

"Carbons? Purge? What are you talking about?!"

There's a nice subtle bit in S2E1 of Haters Back Off that's easy to miss because there's several scenes of abject insanity between the setup and payoff:

The mom goes to some Ken Ham-esque biblical theme museum monstrosity, and while she's there she explains that she feels like she's failing her family because her daughter thinks she's so talented but just continually fails at everything she does.

Then the episode ends with her visiting Emily, not Miranda, showing her worldview is still all hosed up.

It may not be particularly subtle, but I like the way Frollo is presented when he's interrupted during Hellfire in Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame, all sweaty, panicking, telling the guard basically "God can you give me a minute..." even righting his hair - he's practically behaving as if he were caught masturbating, and for a man who's character arc appears to be (I'm intentionally being reductionist here to be funny) "Oh god what is my penis doing, it's never done that before it must be ~evil magic~" that's fairly appropriate.

Pretty sure the idea outside of racist propaganda is more basically post-serum Steve Rogers from birth instead of vaguely alchemical drugs; zero genetic deformities, disabilities or predisposition to illness, easily developed muscle and resistance to injury and illness; just the healthiest motherfucker that ever did walk the earth. And that's before you get into the yellow sun basically literally supercharging everything. (Wondering if they've ever had Superman not really need to eat because he gets all he needs from yellow sun radiation)

(a little ironic given Man of Steel kinda makes a plot point that almost all Kryptonians at that point were genetically engineered for single purposes in society, while Kal-El was conceived and born the traditional way as a middle finger to that convention. But then again, being the children of genetically engineered scientists is still probably gonna be pretty good genes)

I wonder what kind of shits you'd get from only eating yellow sun radiation.

It'd be pretty cool if it was as bad as Pizza Hut pizza. Superman has super powers and is invincible, but twice a day he has to squirt out a stream of brown slush.

That's because in the context of the movie, he basically is. Frollo is such a fantastic and underrated villain and probably the most grounded in the real world

Ita brown slush only because all of his muscles are superpowered and that includes his smooth muscles in the intestine.

To combat that he has kryptonite toilet paper.

Kind of sucks. The only Kryptonian lady he's met hate him. The only woman who can handle his dick pincers only has eyes for Zod's dick pincers.

Wonder Woman might be able to handle it, though. But since she's made out of clay on an island where there are no men, the likelihood of her being anatomically correct is remote.

Having read a lot of comic books, I'd argue she'd have a much better chance of being anatomically correct than if she were made exclusively by men.
