Yet you pop in every one of them
you killing me brehDidnt nobody give a good goddamn about this movie
maybe in the suburbs or some shyt
i be lookin at Superman like i look at the Patriots
"do nikkas really fukk with this shyt?"
edit: "white god here to save us all."
i went to a packed showing at midnight with 3 other ppl :
- we all hated it
- there were audible groans in the theater when superman kissed lois
- dead silence when the credits rolled
- heard multiple ppl saying they didn't like it on the way out
also worth noting :
- henry cavill's career went absolutely nowhere as a result of it.
- superman has not had a resurgence in any other form of media as a result of it.
- not a single scene has been etched in the collective memory of the movie going public.
- they had to turn the sequel into a defacto justice league movie and call in batman to help draw.
now i know it made a shyt ton of money and i know it sold well on home video, so clearly there are ppl out there that dug it... but so did transformers.
he's already the number 1 Superhero of all time, where else can he go? He was the blueprint for Superheroes today
Zach Synder has gone on record to say they were going to do Batman before the movie was even out
the success of dark knight led to an explosion of batman related media and content. if man of steel was such a smash hit how come the same hasn't happened for superman? how come he doesn't have nearly the same exposure as he once did? i was in toys r us over the holidays and he had about 1/10 the presence that spiderman and the avengers did.
plus almost every major boys franchise has a cartoon on tv. avengers, spiderman, transformers, ninja turtles... even the guardians of the galaxy are about to have their own cartoon. where is superman? how come he ain't poppin off like that no more?
it's as if man of steel just came and went.
when the announcement was first made at comic con 2 years ago not a single person was expecting it.
plus there's this...

^ basically zach wanted to make a legit MOS sequel before even toying with the idea of the justice league.
but by all means if zach is on record as saying otherwise... feel free to provide the link.
Breh the soundtrack

He has a statue that's a landmark, he doesn't need anymore exposure, he's already at the top. Its not like he's a B level hero like the Avengers.
I'll provide the link when I'm home from work. I just read it yesterday
cap 2 made more money than man of steel and if I'm not mistaken thor 2 came pretty close.Avengers comics still don't sell that great unless it's a #1. All the B-heroes discussed, Marvel struck gold with Guardians of the Galaxy but Thor, Hulk, Cap.. none of them have been monster successes on their own and Cap's 3rd film is now more like an Avengers title with all of the characters being introduced. Downey Jr. is the reason why Iron Man as a character got so big.
This idea that all of these B-heroes as they've been labeled are now A+ outside of the Avengers group is not really entirely accurate.

not bad for a bunch of b- heroes.
And to its credit it DID wipe that stink away.1. Origin flicks don't make as much as their sequels. Not even close.
2. Man of Steel had to wipe the stink of Superman Returns away.
