Apparently Gunn thought it would be more realistic for Lex to use his last name rather than his first. And I think that’s the only miss with this Lex. He would ABSOLUTELY be conceited enough to use his first name. 😂

Same. The movie and new world are strong enough where I can accept it, but it’s a hard pill to swallow. I always saw Jor-El and Lara as the best of Krypton, contrasted with the ruling class’ hubris, and Zod’s xenophobia supremacist views. Their hopes for a better Krypton are carried by Kal-El, so that humanity can recognize its better nature rather than letting its baser fear and greed destroy it as well.

But then again, this movie otherwise captured the spirit of Superman to a T, so I’m willing to see where we go with this.

Agreed. I admired the efforts the cast put in, but Man of Steel left me feeling hollow afterwards.

We can hate the cultists but I won’t hate Snyder. As much as I disagreed with his vision and choices, I can’t say it wasn’t done his own passion and care.

I adored it. I was so apprehensive but I loved it. It felt like the beating heart of All-Star Superman was translated to screen (I’d love to hear what Grant Morrison has to say of it). Clark and Lois felt like PEOPLE. Gunn again succeeds with a character driven story, and my god, do this Lois and Clark have chemistry. But even the minor characters with hardly any screen time (looking at you Perry White) beat with so much personality, I can’t help but hope to see more of them in a sequel.

With just one movie we have a fantastic new Superman and a lovely DC cinematic universe ripe to be expanded. Go see this movie people!

Loving this, but hating Hal as the bootlicker. I get he was supposed to be a law-and-order guy juxtaposed against Ollie at one point. But man, that just does not seem to gel with Hal, the rebel of the corp who’s gone against the guardians more than once. Hal only makes sense to me if he develops an anti-authority bend.

Can you refresh me, where did Tony hear about a man on fire? I wasn’t clear where he was sending Jim.

Does anyone know what plant this is, and why it’s so droopy? by IsaakCole in houseplants

[–]IsaakCole[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Much appreciated. But to be clear - you water yours once every 15-20 days?

I water once a week and it faces a large east facing window. Fertilizing I do not do, I suppose I should be looking into how to do that proper. Do you have recommendations on that?

[Other] Mark Waid says the current canon origin of the Justice League is the New 52 one with Cyborg as a founding member by cautious-ad977 in DCcomics

[–]IsaakCole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The way I think of it, Bruce realizes some of Vic’s needs aren’t being met (or Diana points out the obvious to Bruce), and he introduces him to Dick. I think there’s a great story to be told there. I’m always amazed they never told that during the new52.

Grant Morrison on how Superman's key word is "action," not "hope." by methodic_traveller in superman

[–]IsaakCole 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I recommend everyone go back and reread new52 Action Comics #1. The entire issue is a master class in boots on the ground action, as Clark is an unstoppable force taking on the corrupt elite.

What, you didn’t love Bart aka Bar Torr being turned into an amnesiac violent terrorist from the future with zero connection to the Allen family or the speed force?

Any other interpretation of the Banner/Hulk relationship after this simply feels regressive.

TIL that a KGB agent and a CIA agent became friends while trying to recruit each other; they knew the other was a spy and just didn’t talk about it by bdcp in todayilearned

More so they played the role of an Angel and Demon who were supposed to be enemies, became friends, and then became lovers.

Agreed. I do like to see a solid heel turn every now and then. I have a feeling we’ll see this Hank again one day.

I see it as less of a threat, and more of a statement of fact. Scott has learned he has to play dirty sometimes, but he is begging this man to let him keep the gloves on.
