True and I do think that was his intention, on giving Superman an obstacle that he wouldn't be able to change so easily.
However, at the same time, while some people may have wondered who Lois would choose, during that entire ordeal, I kept reading more complaints on how it'd make Superman look bad because regardless of the fact that he's Jason's biological Father, he'd still be inadvertently filling in as the "homewrecker" role for a lot of people by breaking up that family since for 5 years, that's what Jason and Lois had accustomed to live by.
Yeah, well. It was clearly stated that Lois did choose NOPT to marry Richard. And he does suspect - I'd say know - that she's still in love with Superman.
If he stayed with her it was his decision. But he knows for sure she doesn't love him enough. I wouldn't call that a 'happy family' but more like someone who has resigned herself to be with a good man. But not the one she loves.
I wouldn't mind personally seeing Superman go through that phase where he's wondering if he should just focus on being a hero or giving into his desires and trying to pursue some form of normalcy in his life by trying to have a romantic relationship with someone, but at the same time, given how much is going on in this film, I wouldn't think that it'd be best to introduce something like Lois being involved with another guy, let alone a "good person" as how Richard White was described, where we have a love triangle going on as well.
No, might not be the best way to do it now. But I was saying that this kind of personal issues are part of any three dimensional worthy character. In spite of many fans only wanting to see a walking icon.
Honestly, with Raimi's treatment of that relationship, along with MJ for that matter, I couldn't figure out as to why ANYONE would love that version of MJ. There was not one SINGLE redeeming quality that I could find for her so I could never understand as to why I should root for Peter to get her based on how she was written.
Oh, MJ was despicable. Annoying, selfish, one wonders what has had Peter in love with her since he was 6. The answer is only one: he's a moron.
But at the same time I never saw what was so valuable about Lois Lane in the old Superman franchise. Well, at least she was charming.
Anyways, my point was that if Raimi failed at it, it doesn't mean it shouldn't or can't be done.
And yeah, I blame the whole erasing Lois's mind purely on the stupidity of the Salkinds and such for not wanting to change the status quo of how the relationship was known to the GA at that time.
I'm hoping that in this film, that they don't have Superman renounce his love life by the end of the film and have him be okay with it.
I actually want to see a hero on screen where we know that he may just have some hope in having a happy life someday.
Yeah, hopeful but not solved. I think that he embracing his mission doesn't retract from him having personal problems during the development of such mission.
One thing is to say, I'll do it because I'm meant to. Another is how you deal with it day after day. But apparently this movie will be all about how it got started only.
