Y's tagline for the new Superman movie:
Don't Worry, It Really Is The Same Guy. Just Keep Watching Shit Explode and This Hunky Guy Lifting Heavy Stuff!
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
I can't even understand what you guys are arguing about.
1. Why can't people recognize superman from clark?
2. Just because it's a fictional movie, the writers don't have to address certain elements of believability?
That's basically what I'm saying. Apparently Y feels moviegoers should just turn off their brains and enjoy the koolaid.Originally Posted by lilphatboi88

Latest Animeniax gimmick: Quote his own dumbass viewpoints and ascribe them to other people.
Reminder to keep discussing Man of Steel as opposed to... anything else.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Who is the hot chick in purple at 2:28 in the newest (3rd) trailer?

Looks amazing IMO, I wonder if Lex will be the Joker of the sequel. It would certainly make sense.
I have to ask again, who is the hot chick in purple?

Looks like this is her:

Thanks, I checked the cast on imdb and couldn't figure out who it was. She looks different in these images from the movie images.
So as Jenny Olsen, it looks like her character replaces the iconic Jimmy Olsen. It explains why she's with Perry White in some of the scenes.

So experts like Kevin Smith actually dispute the "laser to the face" version of how Superman shaves his beard. I guess even though it's in the comic, you could challenge some depictions as being non-canon, considering how many writers and editors take a stab at the mythos over the years.

Sounds like he's just fucking around for the commercial sake. Apparently he was supposed to write the script for the Superman movie with Nick Cage and Tim Burton:
Good interview. I can't say how serious he's being now, it has been a while between that time and now. It does seem gimmicky and I was surprised because I thought Smith would definitely educate every one of his competitors by backing the laser-vision shave scenario. Like in the frames I posted, even the writers developed different ways for Superman to shave his beard.

After watching the trailers and that 13 min behind the scenes, I think it was. Seems like Superman has been dumbed down, a lot. :/
Not sure if I should high hopes or brace for disappointment. :/
How do you mean "dumbed down"? He's never been portrayed as a really clever or intelligent hero, and his story hasn't ever really been that complex. He's a man of action. I think they're showing his more vulnerable and emotional side in this movie.

His more vulnerable and emotional side in this movie sure because they did not do that in all the previous superman movies right. As far as "dumbed down" goes they always do that to superman and it is terrible. They nerf his powers and make him emotional and stupid, see Lois and Clark. Yes he has been portrayed as a clever and intelligent hero see All Star Superman series for one thing. Another thing, super-intelligence is one of his abilities. Besides that his father was a genius who sent him to earth with those stupid crystals which allowed him to create the fortress of solitude which supposedly contained their collective knowledge. The writers really overdid it with his powers and abilities though, to the extent that it became nearly impossible for anyone to oppose superman so they nerfed him and dumbed him down. Then DC went and made batman all smart (-'_'-)
Anyway this is a huge point of contention with me. I argue about it all the damn time. There is no way the golden boy from this super advanced utopian society is stupid, just no way and I am tired of seeing him beat up. He gets beat up as nearly as much as batman which is ridiculous. There is also that abomination of a movie that was Superman 3, not even Superman 4 but 3 the one with Richard Pyror
Dreaming impossible dreams.
Sapphire is awesome!
Intelligence can be effectively suppressed, it depends on your environment. Clark grew up on a farm in a small town, not much chance his intellect would be challenged or nurtured there. Plus the crash landing could have scrambled his brain like with Goku.
And MoS seems to treat Clark's vulnerability with more insight and understanding of the human condition, of being an outsider and wanting to belong and be normal. The original Superman movies made him a bumbling idiot and then straight pussy. A 6'4" 225lb man who is used to kicking ass wouldn't suddenly not be able to defend himself again some drunk at a diner.

What I am trying to say by dumbed down is he persona. He's essentially an empty shell. Why remove any element of him bring kryptonian and make him more human?
Superman can fly, has super speed on par with the flash or faster. He's fucking invincible as long as he stays on Earth and absorbs yellow sunlight. His strength is immeasurable. He has heat vision, x-ray vision, super hearing and none of which has been exploited to this day aside from the million selling comics every month.
When they make a movie it's OH lets make him more human so we as mere mortal men can relate to him"
WHY even call it superman then if he's one of us. There's really no point to want to dream of being superman anymore. Everything that set superman aside from us and him has been taken away. Superman is basically now just a lil more evolved human if you believe in evolution.
According to the behind the scenes, doesn't even look like Lois Lane is a love interest. When I say DUMBED DOWN. I mean really dumbed down cause you know, Hollywood doesn't think the 100s of millions of people who read the comics can't possibly believe Supernan needs to be up there on his pedestal.
With each movie it gets worse.
I look at Avengers where half the characters are humans who seem to fight better and have better abilities than Superman who has no limits, aside from being in a Hollywood movie.
So ya, I honestly don't know what to expect or tell myself. Superman is like Batman in a superman suit minus the cowl. :/
