And one more thing....
I'm sorry...
I spent all day trying to calm down... But I can't.
Here is the basic problem with Superman.
He is a GOD. He is Super. Do you want a movie where Superman is all sad and weepy because he is the GREATEST PERSON IN THE WORLD AND IS STILL NOT HAPPY?
What hope is there for the rest of us.
Superman has been a story since the 20's. There are millions of comics about him out there.
And yet Brian Singer chose to ignore those and make up his own LAME ASS STORY.
There are only two ways to get at Superman.
Kryptonite.
And through the ones that he loves.
Lex Luthor finds out that Superman has a kid. What does he do?
He leaves the kid in a boat. It would be too smart to think of using him for a way to get at Superman. Instead - he chooses to ignore him.
That is brilliant writing. Waste of an opportunity.
And best of all:
How the hell does Superman's kid get to kick more holy ass than he does in the movie?
Superman doesn't raise his hand to anyone. Not even his eyebrow.
But his kid kills someone with a piano.
And best of all - no one even talks about it. Lois spends the majority of the movie being a really bad parent - forgetting the kid, using him as bait for the bad guys - and Superman decides that it is best for the kid to stay with her and her husband who thinks the kid is his...
What the hell is going on in this world?
And you think this is brilliant? You're killing me people....
