And all the actress speaking on it. Then Lex has the Mr. smiley who he even has a photo on his desk for sentimental reasons but there’s not even a throw away line of “Made him when I was a kid” in fact I would Lex is weirdly just not characterized past his Superman rants

Exactly. There’s…also something about Superman as a film feels like there’s more ideas for character backstories than like characterization. The Engineers actress spoke about the idea her and Lex have a sorta legit romance compared to Lex’s public girlfriends. But that’s mainly one small interaction

Yeah I think there’s something nice about a Superman who’s happy and kind. The problem is Gunn feels like he knows a big part of him is how lonely he is. But also his way of showing that is just kinda making him a child.

It’s weird because for me at least it kinda full on infantalized Superman. Especially how it opens the movie with him needing to watch his parents message to “soothe” him after a beatdown. Like he’s an iPad kid.

Like do you want Ip Man to rabbit punch all enemies of China? Then you need a little historical inaccuracy!

It ends with you complaining that a sword fight looks like a proper choreographed fight and not the two dudes you watched on YouTube doing sword manual moves they’ve rehearsed so it works as intended every time.

“Nolan’s Odyssey a fictional movie based on another piece of fiction is gonna flop if they don’t change the costumes to this”

-proceeds to show the stupidest looking bronze turtle suit were supposed to find aesthetically cool-

I remember people doing this with Ridley Scott over Napoleon not being accurate with military formations and shit and say what you will about the movie I respect Scott for going “it’s a movie nerd”.

It seeps through all the time, that and the thinly veiled distain for anyone who’s mixed.

Coolest Werewolves in any fiction right there. The funniest intersection between them and vampires is vampires were pushing the Revolution behind the scenes and one of the main werewolf clans was linked to the Romanov family.

Diana fans get mad if you say this about her but they’re all in fact wrong.

“THIS IS FUCKING WAR STEVE”

It’s be so funny if right after Steve backs down Jim flys in and sets Hitler on fire *again*

Still can’t get over that our last protagonists wife was working for a bio terrorist arms dealer seemingly of her own free will, and that’s never addressed later on.

Ngl if I was Umbrella I’d just be making evil Chris redfields, the guys unstoppable.

i.e. Superman offing Zodd in MoS vs. Hawkgirl giving Vladimir Netanyahu the Dick Jones treatment.

Or in Shang Chi, where he's kicking henchmen off skyscrapers and out of moving vehicles but tearfully confesses later that he killed the guy who murdered his mom.
