I just re-watched the honest trailer on Youtube for Man of Steel.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sge5sUNJkiY

And apparently I'm not the only one who thinks Man of Steel had too many SUBPLOTS...

10,000 people...some other source said that but maybe they were wrong, later I found out that it was actually just around 5000 people that died in Metropolis. Ideally there aim in Man of Steel was to make Superman a hero, but it's not a matter of Superman failing to save 5000 people--I wouldn't blame a superhero for not being able to save everyone because they can't, even with all there power--it's just that all those people die. I didn't like that. That many people shouldn't die in a Superman movie. Superman did save the entire planet but at least 5000 people died in Metropolis.

No one reportedly died in the Avengers New York battle. They just don't mention it.

And I know in the CR movies, people actually did die. But all those people die in Man of Steel, and while Superman was on the other side of the Earth trying to stop the World Engine, there's still a problem with that whole situation. Yes he's trying to put it to and end once and for all, but in the process, innocent people are getting killed. That's to blame Snyder and Goyer I think.

I think if it was Christopher Reeve's Superman, he'd go to Metropolis first while the destruction was taking place and try to remove all the people away from the center point as quickly as possible and than head over to the Indian ocean. Because it's Superman, and for Superman, the people always come first.

Bless your heart.

 

[Unbreakable Lex]

What if.......

It looks like he's inhaling. Maybe he's preparing his freeze breath? To be honest I don't know how the mechanism of Superman's freeze breath works.

I think he's about to fly forward.

 

[Unbreakable Lex]

Bless your heart.

Absolutely maddening.

T-minus two months until winter 2015 where the good people of Lexcorp will give us a new trailer.

 

[roach]

The 'ignore' feature is your friend

 

[Unbreakable Lex]

I guess there is no real unofficial start of Winter like Summer has with Memorial Day.

 

[moviefreak]

Been watching the BvS Comic-Con trailer, as I have noticed before but wasn't sure, Wonder Woman's shots were spliced together from three different scenes, here are the first two scenes separated by a single frame:

Spoiler

Also, I think that WW was deflecting some kind of energy blast with her bracelets. The expanding fireball is from a different scene, here the two scenes also separated by a single frame, (I could be wrong as the fireball could be the resultant energy burst from a combination of her bracelets and energy projectile hitting) :

Spoiler

Here's the window before Batman smashed in, the very first frame:

Well, very cool looking images and misleading trailer.

 

[roach]

I guess there is no real unofficial start of Winter like Summer has with Memorial Day.

no not really...it's too close to Christmas to throw another holiday in there (winter officially starts Dec 22nd)

 

[jokesonm3]

I guess there is no real unofficial start of Winter like Summer has with Memorial Day.

I think it was December 22nd as the official start date for winter.

Although how awesome would it be if WB/DC gave us a trailer for Christmas!

lex loses his hair the first time we see the Batplane onscreen

its like that cop who loses his hat in TDKR except better

 

[Nemeres]

Anyone else hoping for Superman to develop his freeze breath in BvS?

Freeze breath never made much sense. Gale-force-wind breath, that's cool.

 

[theotherme]

Flipper Zod is going to defeat Aquaman with his flipper iron.

WB lied about Aquaman getting his own movie and being in the Justice League. The DCEU will be the first time that Flipper Zod will get his own movie and be a Justice League member.

An appearance by Flipper!Zod should be required in every film like the DCEU's version of Stan Lee

 

[roach]

An appearance by Flipper!Zod should be required in every film like the DCEU's version of Stan Lee

In every appearance he walks up to a random person in the background and gives them the hot flipper

To be honest I don't know how the mechanism of Superman's freeze breath works.

It couldn’t work as advertised. In a weird sort of way, “freeze vision” (as a compliment to heat vision) would actually be less objectionable - “realism” wise.

 

[Unbreakable Lex]

Freeze breath is simply. Same with heat breath. We can do it ourselves. Close lips, cool air. Open mouth, hot air. It's all about pressure. Now expound that onto Supes' lungs. There's your ice cubes!

 

[jokesonm3]

Well in that case how does heat vision work.

 

[Unbreakable Lex]

Well in that case how does heat vision work.

I'll let Roach answer that one.

There's always the "everything you wanted to know about Superman's eyes" article too.

His 'heat vision' (which was originally a by-product of the x-ray vision) is portrayed as either lasers shooting from his eyes, fiery optic blasts, or the literal balls of fire which they seem fond of on Smallville. The comics later explain that he's able to shoot his stored-up solar energy out through his eyes.

 

[roach]

Well in that case how does heat vision work.

Superman's powers work based on him absorbing solar energy in all his cells...his heat vision is his body expelling that solar radiation through his eyes

 

[roach]

I'll let Roach answer that one.

how'd you know I was going to???

Ok i got two questions from that.

1) if that's the case then why isn't it yellow like the sun.

2) why cant freeze breath work if Superman blows extremely hard?

 

[Guts]

how'd you know I was going to???

Unbreakable Lex is an Observer. He can calculate every possible outcome of the hype.

 

[Silliminite]

I'll let Roach answer that one.

Magic. Zatanna cameo confirmed.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Ok i got two questions from that.

1) if that's the case then why isn't it yellow like the sun.

2) why cant freeze breath work if Superman blows extremely hard?

Up close the sun isnt yellow.

 

[jokesonm3]

Up close the sun isnt yellow.

Oh yeah......


Well now i feel like a clutz!

 

[roach]

Ok i got two questions from that.

1) if that's the case then why isn't it yellow like the sun.

2) why cant freeze breath work if Superman blows extremely hard?

1) Why would it be? It's solar radiation metabolized by him.
2) That's how freeze breath works
