Superman: Man of Steel ***SPOILERS***

[Maxx]

That's the projected release for Justice League.

[TKz]

Yeah, that's kind of my point.

"Let's throw together a half assed, not properly assembled Justice League film! Because I guess it sucks for us if Avengers 2 does well?"

[livid]

I don't know, the whole story screams like click-bait to try and capitalize on a major blockbuster to me because none of it seems remotely feasible.

[Ant]

With regards to potential sequel villians, isn't Doomsday a bigger threat than Braniac considering he killed Superman in the comics?

[Maxx]

Doomsday should never appear in a movie, ever, for several reasons, one of which is given how destruction happy they were with this one, they'd have to obliterate an entire country if they had Superman and Doomsday fight.

[TKz]

Really? Why not? I'll admit, not on his own, but as a weapon used AGAINST Superman, I would love to see that carnage on screen.

[Maxx]

What would he bring to the film that Zod and friends did not? He was a half thought out character created just for an event to drive sales, which itself was terribly planned and horribly convoluted and retconned quickly afterwards.

Not sure if this has been posted but it's Mark Waid's review of the movie and sums up how I felt too. Spoilers obviously

[livid]

Meh, I'm not a big fan of the criticism that you need to be shown that Superman isn't killing people to believe he isn't.

[TKz]

Him killing Zod sets a precedent for him never doing it again though. I get that it's his one rule, but you kind of need to introduce that rule somehow. It's the same as complaining that Superman isn't trying to take the fight elsewhere or trying to save people... Zod wants to destroy everything. If you take him to a corn field, he's just going to fly through a ton of buildings and destroy more to get back there.

[livid]

Pretty much all of that, yeah. Plus, it was pretty damn badass!

[GoGo Yubari]

I do agree with a solid amount of his criticism. One thing I'd point out though;

Superman is the one to go to the non-populated place because it's on the other fucking side of the planet and there's no way the military chopper could get there in time.

[Ant]

Didn't he kill the three Kryptonians once in a comic by placing kryptonite on them?

[Summers]

Ugh, ok. Look, Supes had to kill Zod. He let his father die because he wasn't ready to do what needed to be done.

He'd learned from that and to save the lives of those people, he had to do what needed to be done.

Oh man, I didn't know this thread was gonna have spoilers in. Everything else had been kept in spoiler tags, so I thought it was safe to just see what people though of it.

[TKz]

Sorry Split.

[livid]

Oh man, I didn't know this thread was gonna have spoilers in. Everything else had been kept in spoiler tags, so I thought it was safe to just see what people though of it.

Shit, I was just about to come in and edit the title to mark it as such after I got out of my shower but got sidetracked looking at other shit.

[Jimmy]

It's cool. I used to get annoyed when people complained about spoilers in The Walking Dead thread, I just assumed as people had spoiler tagged everything so far it was safe. I think both of those things would've surprised me as well.

[wCwCreator]

I'll be interested to see how they bring Lex into the fold for the sequel. Does he still want land?

[EWB's Best Poster.]

The only thing that really bothered me was how they turned a Jewish myth of the Golem into Jesus Christ.

Hell, not even Jesus Christ but Creationism Christ to boot.

"We will win because we are evolution!"

"Father son and ghost!"

how many times was clark set up in the cruxifixtion pose? It got pretty bad.

His being born in a way no one else had in centuries making his birth unique even was christ like. It weighed the movie down.
