There's definitely some skewed standards at work here

That is what I meant, with Batman the double standards seem to only apply to Batman himself with everything else on his mythology being susceptible to change with relatively minor changes. I haven't seen anyone complain about Gotham not being the same as Burton's movies for example. But change anything related to Superman and people will complain like there's no tomorrow.

Not entirely true. Look at any attempts at even suggesting giving The Joker an origin (especially post Dark Knight). Look for the constant cries of "He can't have his origin explained."

A town of 40k people having an IHOP, Sears and 7/11 is not less honest you dodos Edit: in the town my grandparents live in all of the family owned restaurants that have been around are dying and people get food from McD’s, DQ and Casey’s.

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:I always interpreted that scene very simply: nowhere was safe. Downtown Smallville? Geography is irrelevant. These guys are at the interstate IHOP in the blink of an eye, they're soaring across the Metropolis skyline in seconds, smashing through cornfields one moment and in cities the next, they're beating each other with satellites in space! There are no safe places, nowhere remote enough to escape the conflict. It can't be "contained" which is absolutely a major theme of a certain other superhero franchise. I read it slightly differently: nowhere is safe from IHOP.

Ferrinus posted:I read it slightly differently: nowhere is safe from IHOP. Good thing Martha didn't go into work that day. Poor woman trying to make ends meet has a loving train thrown through her job the same day someone threw a truck through her house. Also, I like the implication that the Sears never rebuilt because Martha's working in the generic non-franchise diner in BvS. Maybe IHOP didn't either?

The Smallville scenes were filmed in rural communities in Illinois. What we see in the Smallville scenes is pretty representative of these towns - some large chains on the outskirts, and nondescript shops on a main street.

My father worked in Hazard, Kentucky 5 years is officially a Duke of Hazard per a certificate granted by the Governor or Mayor or some Official and we are all Kentucky Colonels. I've lived in Hazard for a bit as a kid during college and summer. A more realistic modern Smallville would have had a Super Walmart eradicate all small and family business competing against an ancient K-Mart, a middling Chinese restaurant run by an immigrant family and maybe the only Chinese/Japanese immigrant family there, couple local diners, an amazing BBQ joint, a couple of saloons (not bars, saloons, there is a difference), a basic but good and expensive Steak house with a yokel type name say "Cliff Hagen's", a Dollar Store of some type, some craft/home made shops for furniture, old theater with like 5 screens, good natured Hillbillies and hospitality with a social people oriented atmosphere as long as the colored folk minded their own business, lots of home business moonshine, trucks of all kinds and run down older cars, the rich people living on a high hill area 2-3 of those families are doctors and from out of country like Mid East or India/Pakistan/Asia required to serve in an undeserved area for citizenship, festivals, a vet clinic, farmhouses, and maybe, maybe a strip joint with some local and foreign girls and one or two amongst them who are surprisingly captivating with ambitions to be nurses eyeing the docs and angry boyfriends who will start to resent the foreign doctors and the doctors going "...best mind my own business." Local sports are a big deal and a church on every street corner making you wonder if they're a bigger business than McDonalds.

Either make your point about product placement, or gently caress off. Martman posted:Your post that he's responding to is incredibly vague at best. It's hard to interpret it in any meaningful way. What is the "it" that results from a certain worldview? Does product placement come from a worldview? Which worldview? What problem with "the honesty" are you referring to? Or this, if you're feeling polite.

I'm fairly sure if Chris Nolan had just taken man of steel , badly Photoshop his name on the credits and release the movie as is, the criticism of the movie would have been cut at least in half. It would be considered a minor Nolan movie, and there would be much less vitriol and youtube videos about "What went wrong with MoS".

Really? There's plenty of people who think Nolan's finger slipped and he accidentally made Dark Knight Rises, a "bad movie", rather than Dark Knight 2.
