btw, your analysis of Man of Steel, specifically the fact that the made lois lane NOT a dumb damsell in distress was on point. Her 1930s esque idiocy was insulting at this point, considering she's a pulitzer prize winning investigative reporter...the film should've gotten MORE credit for that alone...as well as, as you put it, writing in and OUT the phantom zone which is quite antiquated at this point.
MOS is a great flick
back to this reply; Superman IS hard to write for..even in FINAL CRISIS they had superman in another dimension fighting ANTI MONITORS because his power is so OP the idea that he wouldn't defeat darkseid is also absurd...he's like a giant walking plot hole that doesn't get a 'batman' pass by fans.
preciate it, handshake!!
when it comes to superman.
the character is superman, and I know from just basic gateway familiarity of superman.
he is superman, in mind, body, power and soul.
it is downplayed but he is actually just as brilliant intelligence wise as well.
so, writing a character, that is impervious.
as well, as hyper-intelligent.
that is a complete chore for a writer, or even a writing staff.
plus, superman is like close to a century old.
where he has a numbe of stories.
yet, those stories for this public.
may not be able to be written to satiate an audience.
plus, this audience does not suspend belief that well.
especially, after the 1990's.
so, for this staff to re-write te second movie.
into a better experience that took into account all these variables.
was an astounding effort, on their part.
to the point, all time this movie should have a high ranking all time in the superhero movie genre.
I just don't get the criticism of this movie at all.
it completely rewrites and excells.
where anyone could have failed making this movie.
plus, you got to see super fights, that meet the naysayers criticism.
on top of imo, the best origin retelling of why superman was here and what happened to krypton.
which was so excellently done, and re-establishes.
the two most threatening superman II cinema villains in this movie in zod and his female cohort.
to the point, she was arguably the greatest female cohort of all time in a superhero movie.
plus, zod was so excellently cast and physically a gritty reboot to original superman II zod.
I know people complain.
yet, this movie created a film that you could have no real complaint.
if you really ever saw anything related to superman on film, or in any medium.
