All the hate for Man of Steel can be explained by it adopting a working-class perspective on the mythos, which nerds find alienating.

What does this even mean

Superman is already a working class perspective on its own mythos. Snyder's take is some weird combination of pseudo-religious babble and Objectivism

Anyway there's way more problems with that movie than just "it's a bad Superman movie" and can be best summarized as "it's a Zack Snyder movie and he knows how to compose a shot and nothing else"

Nerds pay lipservice to the character's working class roots, but they prefer Superman as a kind of politician - a liberal-minded smiling patriarch who doesn't upset things too much.

So when MoS presents prole Superman and his dour and difficult life, it's sacrilege.

No, he can totally be good

But he's not allowed to in Zack Snyder's movies because likable Superman isn't Very Serious enough

I liked the part where Doomsday punched Superman so hard he died and came back as edgy Superman.
Also there was a teen Superman, a pyro Superman, evil cyborg Superman, and Shaquille O' Neal in a metal suit pretending to be mecha Superman?

was the shantae video a one-off, guessing it was. Seemed like they were enjoying it though, wouldn't mind an LP of it.

Yup, they're killing the Ghostbusters franchise so brutally the first two movies are even worse now as well!

I know basically nothing about Shantae aside from the fact that she's a Genie in a belly dancer's outfit and there's tons of porn of her because of that. Which one is the game with all the transforming into different stuff? Also if we had to have a platformer LP I'd rather it be Rayman Origins.

After playing Shantae: uhhhh one of them. It looks pretty but it kind of gets repetitive the more you play it. There's a lot of backtracking without nice ways to get around quickly. I don't think it would make a very good LP.

It was just kind of all right. Nothing in it struck me as amazing.

You're thinking of Mighty Switch Force, I guess. Shantae is a pretty standard platformer with some exploration/upgrading elements. It controls well and it looks nice. It does have the backtracking issue but I don't think it's more of a problem than Odallus or other games played in the channel, so.
