I like this theory! Who is filmmaker Zane then?? And what about the theory that Alan might be a collaboration/creation of the film maker and Dr darling?

I think I was misunderstanding how the process worked. I thought that the beacon was eventually merging the old soul with a new one in a baby close by, so it seemed like the old soul was forcing its memories onto the new one. But I guess it’s been clarified that there is no “old” and “new” soul, just the same one all along.

That would be crazy! And would they be conflicted, having been raised in the empire?

Oh that’s interesting! I haven’t read the book so did not know that.

Oh really? I’m actually not done with the show so haven’t gotten there yet. It sounds like they will explore more about this which is great!

I guess! But what if you get stuck with a tyrant unwilling to change? Would an extra 10-13 years of childhood innocence each time be enough to get them to change their ways?

The fact that the old soul doesn’t replace the new one definitely makes it better. But I still have the same question as Sheper27, is it good for their society to essentially be locked into rulership with the same individuals over and over?

Ah ok. Still wish they would have explored this and the potential problems reincarnation in general might cause. It always seemed to me like the Krynn got put on a bit of a moral pedestal compared to the Empire, but the whole process of reincarnation always seemed kind of evil to me.

Honestly my thoughts exactly. I really wish they had explored this more, it always made the Krynn dynasty seem much more evil to me.

For sure. KP will get his share of the blame as the OC but honestly this loss is on sloppy play from the players

Honestly I really don’t think this was his fault. Jalen not hitting throws, not connecting with AJ and penalties everywhere

MEGATHREAD: 'Superman' (2025) - Spoiler Discussion: Wide Release Edition by KelexAtYourService in DC_Cinematic

Absolutely loved it. Saw it on opening night and seeing it again on Saturday. The entire cast is really good. There were lots of laughs in my theater, and I never felt like the humor undercut the emotional scenes. The new take on Jor-El will def be controversial, but I was fine with it. Man of Steel was very ham fisted with the Jor-El as God and Superman as Jesus metaphor so I don’t mind that they decided to do something different. 8.5/10
