BvS All Things Superman and Batman: An Open Discussion - - Part 35

[MrMaooz]

Amy Adams had just gone through a pregnancy. Give her a break.

Looks like Jonathon Kent should have been pregnant. Tornado might not have taken him away.

Happened before in real life.

Also who's going to believe a bunch of randoms from the bible belt that claim they saw a man perform an impossible miracle?

That happens like 5 times a year in the real world and people assume they're whackos.

People hate Jehovah's Witnesses showing up on their door on saturday morning...what do you think would happen if people thought Clark Kent was the son of god? How many people do you think they'd have to fight off the Kent farm?

 

[Wise]

Who gives a damn? It Indiana muthaf**kin' Jones. That man survived that blast with ease.

werd. The holy grail probably gave him nigh immortality.

 

[Poni_Boy]

I kinda' wished that was more of a narrative element as to why they DIDN'T want him exposing his powers during his childhood....being surrounded by whackos.

Would have been nice to see Smallville residents being protective of "one of their own." That would have flowed well with Jonathan being scared of the reaction to the outside world.

I just had a mental image of Superman fighting off Jehovah's witnesses.

I'll buy that for a dollar

"I'd like to talk to you about Jehovah"
"Sorry I go to..go to...Krypton."
*whooosh*
"isn't it destroyed"

I'll believe it when I see it...we've been down this road before.

No, because I already *********ed tonight. For other stuff.

Well of course, but I thought there would be some sticky spots on the floor by now from some.

 

[Poni_Boy]

Also...some didn't like the whole 'should I just let them die?'..."...maybe...". So if you're already finding some things a bit morally ambiguous the story, it can place that emotional point of entry that much farther away when you do want t hit home wit something.

Another example of scenes/dialogue that I like but don't feel were executed very well. They just needed someone who was unattached to the script (who didn't know already that A led to B led to C) to look it over and connect the dots more fluidly. Great concepts, incomplete execution. It happens a lot. Ask any novelist.

I liked that Jon didn't have all the answers and was figuring things out as he was going along. We have a Pa Kent who is trying to protect his son. His son is not a superhero..he is an alien and popular notions about aliens is that as soon as they are discovered here comes the government and the men in black and now Clark is taken and poked and prodded and experimented on while Pa and Ma may be locked away for a long time for harboring an alien.

 

[roach]

They all should pretty much now who he is...but did we see any of it...aside from maybe some of Ross when he crashes through the IHOP?

the cop who drove Lois to the Kent farm

Lois even yells "Clark!" when she's running from the car.

glad i wasn't the only person to catch this

 

[roach]

glad i wasn't the only person to catch this

I watch the movie once a week

 

[roach]

Who DOESN'T know that Clark is Superman in this story?

From my viewing of the movie it seems like Ma, Lois, Pete and the cop are the only ones who know Clark is Superman.

 

[Lily Adler]

Hey if a small country town can keep Hannah Montana's secret [BLACKOUT]That she twerked against her dad's guitar and now he has hepatitis on his hands[/BLACKOUT]. Then I'm sure Clark Kent doesn't have to worry.

Meanwhile, the movie in '78 had like, two scenes in his teens that were a few hours out of the day...and we pretty much got everything from it. We grew up with Clark Kent in about eight minutes.

That's what I like to refer to 'efficiency'.

Sometimes less is more. I watched Pearl Harbor, one of my favorite guilty pleasure movies, yesterday and William Fichtner's one 2 minute scene epitomized more about soldiering than most 2-hour war movies do in their entirety. You don't need extended exposition or repetitive dialogue to hit a point home most of the time.

 

[roach]

When I first saw the movie, it was like 'well..so much for secret identities in this flick'.


The military....

The military know he's from Kansas but they don't know who he is.
