i like when people go why you so mad they kill it's realistic. it's because killing is the coward's way out. i'm watching a space god with laudable morals fly around in blue and red tights (which they made even stupider btw) i don't need realism i wanna watch a hero be good and do good.

so what was lex's plan after doomsday killed all the heroes it's a nearly unstoppable rage monster. wouldn't it have made more sense for him to recreate zod into bizarro and use that to frame superman for poo poo and then he'd have something under his control.

he makes bizarro, frames supes, batman gets pissed and goes after superguy, then they fight but they realize it was all a misunderstanding and lex and bizarro are the threat and they go after them. maybe even get bizarro to look into his heart and turn good so it's not all about killing bad peeps. it's so simple.

i'm sure this happened in a comic book at some point.

i would also like a movie to run with grant morrison's all star superman interpretation of lex luthor where he pushes himself to peak human physically and mentally to be the best he can be and resents superman for trivialising all the things a normal person can achieve without trying and holding humanity back by being a big paternal figure solving our big crises for us. That is a cool and understandable lex, even if he is still a sociopath.

also i am a nerd who will never be loved by anyone but my mum

when he finally sees how superman sees the world is one of the better comic pages. too bad these new movies don't have that superman :)

the worst thing i can say about man of steel is it makes superman returns look amazing because at least superman returns had a couple scenes where i felt like i was watching superman.

again it's like that fleischer retrospective i linked earlier said - the story surrounding superman can be complex but the strength of the character is how straightforward he is "a guy from kansas doing the right thing". people who think man of steel made him more humanized or realistic have a pretty lovely view of humanity since the big blue boy scout is a rejection of the idea that power corrupts and that being raised by good people can produce a good person no matter their circumstances of birth. superman is possibly the most human of all the superheroes.

awesome scenes in returns where i felt like i was watching a superman movie:

shot in the eye

saving the shuttle

flying up into space and listening to the world

pulling the boat out of the ocean

getting all juiced up on mother sun and throwing the kryptonite island out into space

Honestly I'll take MoS over Returns any day of the week.

Say what you want about accurate comic book movie portrayals, a movie has to be slightly more interesting than watching flies gently caress before we get into comparative analysis.

man of steel is more boring and also lacks any scenes comparable to the ones i listed. like i said the worst insult to man of steel is it makes returns look good.

the john williams superman theme is so good because you definitely feel like yeah gently caress yeah this is superman. the snyder poo poo doesn't evoke that same feeling.

i think the funniest thing is how he and his wife got together. she was a reporter for usa today or something and went to his place to interview him. then they just started making out. i mean she's no stunner but she could do a lot better than that.

Young Freud posted:

I know Devin Faraci gets a lot of poo poo here, but he posted an article on how the original comic and the 1978 Christopher Reeve Superman was born to reflect the anxieties of their time and assuage them with a superhero that could overcome them and how Snyder kinda killed Superman for this generation with his renditions of a Supes that is overwhelmed by the zeitgeist. Anyway, he included this quote that Synder said during the press tour:

it's great how the article brings up that superman was created in literally the worst point in human history but was a shining light in the darkness. there's literally no other time you could be more cynical than the great depression followed by ww2.
