The new Superman....................what do you think?

[the watcher]

and the kid has kryptonian dna in him...that would make it a little bit more than just a normal kid...

We're all just ignoring the 2000 pound elephant in the room: is Superman racist?

Right, but Unk’s post (the one you were originally responding to) did make some sense in that the fetus wasn’t directly exposed to sunlight, being in Lois’ womb and all.

Plus, I think he was kinda joking.

I haven’t read the actual comic story in years, but IIRC it addressed this with Clark and Lois actually believing the baby would be “normal” until after birth and not get powers until exposed to the sun for a few weeks after coming out.

But the fetus obviously absorbed some light via mom, and when it started kicking….

What makes you say that, and what does it have to do with the super-baby discussion?

There's only ONE Superman............Christopher Reeve. All others are just actors in costumes........and not very good at that.

Nothing against Cavill as a person, but him as Superman sucked hard. Will see how this new guy does.

If he can hone the sweetness, kindness, and stength that Reeve exuded in the role.......he may win me over.

I wish I had the money for a Wonder Woman movie trilogy.......she would be done RIGHT and CORRECTLY. From classic to current through the trilogy.

The people that produced the Christopher Reeve movies turned it into a joke.

He was just about the only good thing about Superman the movie.

He needs a shave. But how could Superman shave? His whiskers would be as hard as steel.

He has a super shaver in his fortress. Along with a super laundry and dryer for his suits.

He reflected his heat vision off a mirror and burned his whiskers off. (No, really)

And Margot Kidder. Best Lois Lane ever.

She was okay....but she was a huge alcoholic and eventually lost her marbles.

He can't be.
He's an illegal immigrant.

/——/ I won’t pay to watch any Woke movie. Maybe next year when it’s free on Prime. Libs have to ruin everything.

Again, can someone explain what makes this movie “woke”?

Or are you all just parroting one another?

I'm in no rush to see any new Superman movies.
Idk about the woke, when I see it, I will.

portraying Superman as an immigrant is not a new concept

I've learned a lot from this message board. Mainly that a lot of you have no established sense of humor. Another thing is that some of you should be wearing helmets and probably a medical alert bracelet that says, "Help Me".

what was the joke we missed?...

 

[the watcher]

Nonparticular, just in general.

Yeah.....but this movie felt they had to make it a major point of the plot, it seems.

I can't wait to see it.
