Clark not used to actually being pressured during interviews and having it actions deeply criticised.

Yeah but he had to yell THAT loud?
I’m not saying he shouldn’t have seemed upset. Just how loud he was didn’t scan.
It makes more sense when he’s looking for the dog
undone berry
I get what he's saying, just on the whole this superman was very immature
And like fine that's where he's at right now, but without that context and explicitly being told that he's been around for a few years now it just is harder to internalize
I think the movie could've gone with an arc of him going from someone used to handling everything on his own to someone more accepting of people's help but they don't really show him struggling to accept help as much as just not willing to take criticism. And the only reason for that is because he's extremely steadfast in his beliefs that he is humanity's savior, that that's what his purpose is and he struggles to understand why anyone wouldn't trust that as much as he trusts it.
Honestly this movie is just about religion, it's a crisis of faith. Which is on par for Gunn's background, but it might be why I struggle to relate to it personally.
pure mountain
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes was about religion too
undone berry
The more I think about it the more that makes sense to me than this being an immigrant story. Replace Jor-El with the Christian God and imagine the first part of the message are the stories of creation, of his forgiveness, of the kingdom of heaven. Sounds good on paper, inspiring beliefs to live by. And if that's all you're raised on, you can't imagine why anyone would doubt the word of God. After all, he only seeks to save lost souls. But then the second half of the message is divine punishment Old Testament God. Messages of sending the wicked to hell and causing apocalyptic floods and plagues as a reprimand for humanity's sins. It's enough to make any devout believer enter a crisis of faith the first time they hear it. Surely this can't be the same God, can it? Of course by that logic Gunn is painting Christians as a persecuted group...so maybe it is supposed to be about Judaism? Same older stories, a mix of mercy and rage from above and a refusal to acknowledge those questionable story elements. But even then that's not why the Jewish people get persecuted, so honestly it doesn't fully work either way.

"How can someone not think its real"
Well, because it kinda destroys Jor-El purpose as the spiritual guide of Kal-el/Superman.
Like yes, the Kents gave him his moral compass, but Jor-El showed him the secrets of his powers and herritage.
Idk, it was one of the few things I didn't liked about the movie.
I can't tell they tried to mock the whole "Evil Superman" concept stuff of recent years or just wanted a plot twist but meh.
night vortex
Honestly, I think its just part of modern DC's trend of looking at their heroes and deciding to write stories that challenge their moral principals
Like the Waynes being evil
Why does Batman fight crime if the people who inspired him to become Batman were criminals themselves?
Same with the Els being just as corrupt as the rest of Krypton
Why does Superman protect humanity if the Els only wanted him to do that so he could have a secret Harem?

I also think that its a nice response to alot of recent superman adaptations (man of steel and to a degree my adventures even though i love that show) has clark being VERY motivated by his parents, especially his father. In man of steel his reason for being a good guy is basically "cause my space dad told me too" and this feels like kinda a response to that. I also think that its a nice sentiment and plays into the CHOOSING to do good. Good doesnt only have to come from good, it can come because you CHOOSE to be good

That's why I always sing praise for My Adventures with Superman. Clark doesn't directly communicate with Jor-El for pretty much the entirety of his life, choosing to save people as Superman on his own. The Els are still good people, Krypton is also written as being actually awful, and it still preserves Clark's innate desire to do good.

Clark generally rarely ever knows krypotonian and when he does its normally not a full comprehension of it.

So he knew what the message said, and like either way it can be implied he had that translated even if he isn't fluent
I'm just nitpicking end of the day

I do think I've come around a lot on how much Superman is kinda taking a beating in this, I feel like it maybe is important to show that good is genuinely under threat right now and not invulnerable, but that he never stops regardless

I find the criticism that Superman is getting beat up too much really fucking annoying for how many people whine about how boring he is for just winning all the time
I feel like a good Superman story has him getting his ass beat just a tad

I think what works so well for me here is that it is actually because lex is outsmarting him
undone berry
It'd be annoying if it was just some asshole whose as strong as him beating him in some big empty fight

I feel like its better than the mindless action the last few superman movies have given us.
I'd rather him struggle every day. But continue anyway. Than breeze through everything
undone berry
also just noticed this is Max Lord's building right?
night spruce
I love the bit where he's running away like a little bitch once he knows he's caught bc it's like the first time he's fully vulnerable, he's in Superman's presence for some scenes but he has the upper hand in those usually bc he's already turned the public against him and before that he had at least something to use against him
It's just so fucking funny

It doesn’t really scream as this is your average week for Superman. Maybe everything before he gets thrown in a box
A montage works because it shows you everything, and then you’re like “and that was just an average week. Wait’ll you see this”

between the wig, the punk elements, the legacy of her identity, there's a lot of that can be a lot deeper with that identity added on
pulsar quarry
Like i think you can apply the sentiment and direction bombshells took with her character pretty well too a main adaptation of the character.
Like "finding her voice" applying too both her identity and powers.
Dinah being trans is like, a legitimately natural and great take on her character. And its kinda insane its not really been done outside of bombshells

Lex is obviously the better villain but I do like how Zodd is a embodiment of Krypton's failures as a society in Man of Steel

To an extent sure but also I'd argue it was the worst part about this movie

At the end of the day, part of why Man of Steel is bad is because its trying to fit Superman into the Nolanverse formula and it doesn't really work
Despite liking some of the stuff from of it I do have the self awareness to know that its mainly a me thing

It definitely does get unfairly shit on occasionally but I think that's bc of the fundamental misunderstanding Snyder has with the source material, even if some things were great the fact that he was trying to fit it into that Nolan-verse vibe like you said just sours the entire adaptation for a lot of people

Someone asked me how Clark couldn’t see his own face under ultraman’s mask
Honestly i feel it’s a pretty simple answer that being Ultraman’s Mask is Leadlined so Clark can’t see through it

Nah. It’s a plot hole. So the movie sucks. We should hate on it. Make change dot org petitions to decanonize it.

Ye this was my thought seeing those complaints too lol
Half of the things people complain about with this movie you can figure out a perfectly reasonable explanation if you think about it for more than 5 minutes

It’s interesting hearing HG explain why Superman didn’t completely land for him
He wanted the new DC universe to start with a Superman movie where it’s just Superman and no other heroes. And we’ve had such films with Reeve and later Routh that were in a vacuum, and then Man of Steel where it started a universe but was still just a Superman story, though of course the tone wasn’t to everyone’s liking
And while BvS was an attempt at rushing the worldbuilding, I don’t see Superman (2025) as being like that. Somehow, I feel like it would’ve been a step back if the DCU started with a movie where the only hero is Superman. Maybe because we already got so much of that.
And it still feels like a Superman story, just with some guest stars. He certainly has more meaningful focus than in BvS.
So to HG, I guess Superman is mainly the Christopher Reeve films, and maybe a few of the live-action shows would be to his liking. But a lot of other Superman content has other heroes, and while HG says he’s not really a DC fan so much as a Superman fan, Superman to me can work really well both on his own and with the wider DC universe.

I get that, and to some extent I do think it would’ve been cool, but having the others worked well. They were a part of the story enough to be like “yeah other superheroes exist, and they look up to Superman” which supports the message of the movie being how Superman inspires others
It doesn’t just feel like they are there because DC universe we need characters to crossover and show up to catch up to marvel, like Wonder Woman appearing in flash to be like “yeah zionist Wonder Woman still exists guys don’t worry”
Even Shazam’s headless Superman cameo at least meant something to the story about Billy’s relationship with Freddy

Yeah. And he wasn’t into some of the extra stuff like the Interdimensional travel. But it made the film feel more new since it hadn’t really been showcased in other live-action Superman movies.
It does track, though, that he’s not as into comic book stuff and prefers the Reeve films when you remember that A New Hope is his favorite Star Wars, and that’s where the Force is more subdued

There's this issue that most people have been trained (mostly by the MCU but also other superhero movies) to consider everyone in a costume a main character or at least important because many secondary characters that normally would be superheroes or supervillains just don't have their comic book costume or even powers in movies and are only there so nerds can find a cameo in the credits. Superman technically just avoided putting them in some generic tacticool gear like for example Winter Soldier did with Batroc and that other guy (Crossbones, I think..?).

This somehow reminds me of someone who got mad that in The Last Jedi we didn’t see the hole in the Resistance ship get sealed up before they let Leia in through the door. People just too lazy to use their imaginations.

That happened in the movie?

That happened in the movie?
When Leia is in space and goes back to the ship, she goes through where part of the ship had come off and puts her hand against the glass, and then it cuts to her being rolled away in the hallway
So this guy was upset that it didn’t explicitly show how everyone was able to not get sucked out into space as they let Leia in
Looking at the scene again, she does go through a doorway into a hallway leading to the glass
So it’s really not hard to imagine that a door closes behind her before they open the other one to let her in

Yeah the average larger ship seems to come with points where they can seal what’s still in it one piece
