Yeah, though there's unfortunately still a limit to what that would have been worth given the time constraints. Fury Road was exhaustively planned out.

I'm sure. But I'm certain he would have made the scenes with Bruce and Alfred standing in the plane and the reshoot of Aquaman jumping in the water look better.

I'm thinking back to Fury Road and as far as action and tone, Miller has got a very similar style to Snyder. And nerds love Miller so much. I don't get it. Is it because it's supposed to be obvious that the Mad Max world sucks so there's no power fantasy being uppended?

He's an inspired choice for Lex. I loved his speech at the party.
Books are knowledge and knowledge is power, and I am... no. Um, no. What am I? What was I saying? The bittersweet pain among men is having knowledge with no power because... because that is paradoxical and, um... thank you for coming.

I think all the claims came from when he said he wants to remake The Fountainhead. People instantly jumped on calling him an Objectivist, but someone posited the more likely idea that he wants to explore a movie about an artist and how people percieve the artist's work or something to that effect.

I didn't laugh at the Pikachu moment. My girlfriend and I just kinda looked at each other wondering what we just saw.

The twister scene is really good. Comic book audiences just aren't equipped to deal with sincere moments anymore.

The concept was fine, Costner was great, the lesson or whatever being sincere to Clark is good, i think that single shot is so stupid-looking and wish they had found a different shot or sequence to depict it. Even having Costner wince a tiny bit from the splinters hitting his eyes or something. You could say this is Clark's adult nightmare recollection of the event instead of the real thing but I don't think it's fair to suggest anyone who didn't like the scene is just emotionally stunted. There are a lot of sincere moments in MoS that people DO like, like the first time he flies and his conversation with Lois.

Spljnters? Splinters would have made the scene better?

Wincing would have changed the entire mood of his sacrifice. The scene is about faith. It would be like if Luke screamed when he chose to fall at the end of Empire Strikes Back.

Even without the scream the vacuum tube saving him muddles the scene anyway and its not clear he was suiciding

That vacuum tube lead to a bottomless cloud sea. The point of the scene was that Luke would rather have died than join Vader.

Oh and I was gonna make a post about Superman being able to see Johnathan Kent. But I don't recall the movie ever showing that Clark had supervision. He had x-ray vision and heat vision, but not eagle vision.

Edit: Also both were demonstrated to be horrifying to have.

A very bit player in Uncle Sam's Freedom Fighters. They all got the gently caress killed a few issues prior.

Recently, (a good decade after this comic got published) people got very angry when they announced he's getting his own tv show and that he's gay now. Nobody ever had any passion for that character one way or the other before that news.

Could Aquaman mind control fresh water fish too? Because it would be pretty neat sending out swarms of pirhanas to skeletonize guys.

He can. In fact, in Brave and the Bold, Aquaman was able to communicate with silverfish just because "fish" is in their name.

Lies! There is a vastly superior cut of MoS which is exactly the same but then drained all the color then readded MORE color than it started with, with both versions shown on top of eachother

It's called the "What if Man of Steel was IN COLOR?" cut

Wisecrack uploaded a video today in their What Went Wrong series about Man of Steel. I tuned in to see what they could possibly say about it. Less than a minute in "By trying to graft drakness and grit into a character devoid of such qualities, Man of Steel stumbles into a mess..."
