Ab and I are fine. Played some volleyball Top Gun style and things are all good.

The latest Empire podcast is a spoilercast for MoS. The second half is Snyder and Goyer (separately) getting into some of the stuff being discussed here. Check it out.

Saw it and loved it. Easily my favorite film of the Summer and probably Snyder's best. I thought the Christ analogies were a wee heavy handed, but hey, if I want subtlety I'll watch a Michael Bay movie.

Supes doesn't have a "No killing" code likes Bats. And Hell even with old Bruce, he offed people left and right in the old comics and Burton films.

Eh, kinda sorta.

He won't kill unless pushed to that point. However, it takes more for the character to get there than Zod's errant gaze at a Metropolis family.

It's not so much what happened, but just how fucking lazy they got in handling Metropolis.

Hell, the whole push to send Superman to the other side of the globe was lazy as shit.

Also this was in the Nolanverse. Not matter what they claim.

I was referring to Supes rather than Bats.

Batman is nothing more than Daredevil sans the personality. MARVEL ZOMBIE 4 LIFE!

More I think about it, the more I like it.

Again... it's pleasing to the senses. There's action, there's character, there's world building (...and yes destroying), there's lots of stuff left to explore and it ends at a point where if there isn't any more, that's fine too. I wanna see where they take this Superman in this environment.

That said, the criticisms are legit. If I was in film school and presented my teacher with a scene showing Pa Kent's tombstone before his death (let alone this is also the revelation of his fate before the tornado), he would flunk me. But here it's in a $200-$300M studio blockbuster. What the fuck? Not to mention, another Pa Kent flashback after his death. All for the purpose of... another speech? Question mark? We already saw Clark holds back from kicking jerk's asses in the bar scene as an adult and we already know Pete Ross becomes his quasi-friend and keeps his secret when we see him at the iHop. Pointless bit.

Wah MOVIE WASN'T PERFECT WAAHHHHH!

Are you sure you saw MOS and not a rerun of Returns?

[B_Metal]

It's kind of hard to have a Supes movie without those analogies, considering he's a man sent by his father to parents who are not his own to save the world with his superpowers that nobody else has. Just saying. Although saying he was 33 and the pose as he floated away from Jor El were a bit on the nose.

[Abraham Smashington]

heh. for sure.

SUPES IS JESUS. BUT WITH AWESOME HEAT VISION.

[B_Metal]

And not quite as much of a hippie

[Abraham Smashington]

he probably drinks PBR instead of wine.
