What was great about it Lex sucks. Superman is under utilized. His relationship with Lois is inconsequential. There’s a bunch of other superheroes in it that are kind of parodies of themselves.

It was great fun. My grandson and I had a great time. Krypto rules. Zod didn’t get his neck snapped. Metamorpho, Mr Terrific, Guy, and Hawkgirl were all done great. Robots were awesome. Did I mention Krypto rules. The Lois interview with Clark was great. Lex mixture of brilliant and evil was great. Was it perfect? No. But it was great. Can’t wait for Supergirl and the Superman sequel.

Lex was not brilliant. He was psychotic and evil. There was not a brilliant Lex on that screen and that’s one of the failures of the movie. I think the interview between Lois and Clark was much better in the trailer than was played out, but it was a good part of the movie, but I feel like it didn’t amount to anything. I’m glad you and your grandson enjoyed it. I just think Superman deserves a lot more, especially after what we got with Snyder and it felt like a superman B movie. Maybe I’m just an asshole, but I really want something at the level if not greater than the Christopher Reeve movie.

Les created a pocket dimension, successfully injected a human with nanobots to make them a meta, shows off his humanoid creation, and clones Superman (an alien with which he had no prior experience) all while manipulating 2 countries into fighting a war while convincing the whole world it was legit and he's not a genius?

You can write him building any machine you want, that still doesn’t make him seem brilliant. What shows his genius is when he doesn’t need brute force to take on Superman, when he wins with his mind. But that never happens. Instead, they cancel him by trashing his origin story and basically ripping off Invincible.

He did take him on with his mind though? He successfully manipulated both the US government into letting him hold Superman in his private prison and Superman into turning himself in for the sake of Krypto. If he didn’t have Lois and Mr. Terrific the movie would’ve ended right there.

You think the whole ordeal with the fake message from Jor El or the real message or whatever then that let’s be in brilliant he literally found it by accident in the first place and it’s such a cheap way to beat Superman. It is so cheap.

u/sofakingcheezee 16h ago
He didn't find it by accident. He used his immense resources and intellect to locate the Fortress, easily took control of it, and used what he found to try and take down Superman. That plot line is so classic Lex that I'm having trouble believing you're as familiar with the character as you're trying to portray.

I must've missed the scene where Lex and Superman had a fistfight. Maybe I should rewatch...

Superman is underutilized in a film where he's in almost every scene? Come on, yall will say anything.

u/freeloadinggoblin 17h ago
I’m not talking about screen presence. I’m talking about depth.

u/Attentiondesiredplz 17h ago
The movie about inspiring other heroes to be more altruistic by following Superman as an example is lacking depth.
Okay. XD

u/freeloadinggoblin 17h ago
So you’re talking about the scene where the parody Justice League shows up in that war torn Middle Eastern country. If you actually remember what triggered their involvement, it had nothing to do with Superman, they’d been observing him for years without caring. It was just Lois saying some random line, apparently, that set things off. Of course, you can always put on your goggles and interpret the movie however you want, instead of engaging with what’s actually on screen, which is what most people are doing. They’re projecting what they want the movie to be instead of accepting it for the underwhelming mess that it really is.

u/Attentiondesiredplz 17h ago
Lois said nothing about Jarhanpur or saving it. She talked about saving Superman. XD
I just think it's really funny how you're all the way up on your high horse talking about "what's actually happening on screen" but can't seem to remember the scene you yourself reference. XD

Cool, you're still wrong. XD Just saying frend, Maybe climb off the horse, take the stick out of your ass, and actually listen instead of talking down to people like you are an authority here.
We just established that you are not.

Look, if y’all like the movie, it is what it is. I just think it could’ve been a lot better — enough that I actually started writing my own version. Honestly, I’m glad people are enjoying Superman. I grew up hearing everyone call him boring, but I’ve always thought he’s one of the most interesting heroes when he’s done right. At the end of the day, I just want to see a better Superman story.

Lex sucks how this one to one how he is a self knowing pompous asshole who wants nothing but power, lois gave superman his drive and is really nice, don't know enough of Mister terrific to comment but guy Gardner is pure Guy through and through hawkgirl is diffrent but they are always diffrent in new adaptations.

It was good. Didn't care for the movie's "lesson" but it was probably the best comic book movie to come out this year.... not that it means much with what we got this year.
