Movie: Man of Steel

[Sapphire]

This is out in just six days! I'm excited.

First off, was this stated? How can Superman not know that having a bunch of unprotected sex with Lois Lane is going to get her pregnant? He isn't a sheltered highschooler. Plus he can see atoms, I don't think he'd fail to notice a pregnancy. I just assumes his tour in space took WAY longer than he intended. In any case, Superman abandoned Lois for nebulous and poorly fleshed out reasons (handled largely in a TEXT CRAWL at the start of the movie) and combined with his Super-Stalking later in the movie just comes off as a creepy asshole.

I think he could hear the sperm pierce the egg when he laid his super-sperm inside her. Shit, his ejaculation should have caused internal hemorrhaging for Lois.

But plot holes aside, maybe the birds and the bees work differently on Krypton, or maybe his adoptive Aunt and Uncle never taught him about sex ed. He was raised in a rural setting where they have conservative values and don't believe in sex ed in schools, only prayer.

Oh dear god, I feel so primed to watch this movie thanks to these posts.
