Should any of these things be addressed?

[Webhead2006]

ok yea i thought it was something like that. Cause i have seen it mentioned in different media takes and all that.

Because he needs to have a life. Even if he wasn't raised as a human, which already makes that a big deal in and on itself, he'd still need to be in touch with his own humanity. He's not a god, he can't spend all day patrolling the streets, he'll flip.

That aside, if he doesn't mingle, he'll lose sight of why he does what he does and even out of good intentions, he'll most likely end up a dictator of sorts. He already does the most he can; he takes time out of the day to patrol the streets, he has a 24/7 open channel in his freaking head to respond to calls for help and he has based his entire career around being employed in a major news center where he can stay on top of everything that happens worldwide. That's already going the extra mile, without losing everything that makes him human.

This is the point where we copuld argue bnased on fiction. Does Superman need to sleep, eat, etc? Does he need a regular job (even when he can't have a regular life)?

But at least you addressed the subject and that's my ultimate point. To address it and not show it as a given.

if doomsday makes it into a superman trilogy, i think they need to address that he wasn't the first, second or even the third villain to come along to finally kill superman. they should address that many other villains have tried to kill superman before doomsday actually does kill him.

 

[wattabrownsound]

i'd like them to address how Metropolis deals with supervillains and not just see superman deal with it all by himself. if they don't have the SCU in the movies, then have Lex have his own team to show he can deal with the problem as effectively as superman. if not that, then in the very least show the Metropolis cops out shooting at the bad guy.

 

[Webhead2006]

yea that would be neat like say if the film is indeed origin with a free new superman on the scene if by the end of the film metropolis makes a special crime unit to help with super powered badguys and all that. This would be a good way i think to get sawyer and turpin in the picture. Maybe we can have it at start of the movie superman saves there lives from a shootout or something and they see what good he is. So they are the ones to go to the mayor or what not with the idea and then they become the leaders of the group.

I don't have a problem with the general public not knowing he's superman, but Lois should. She gets face to face with both of them, he's kinda distant to most people anyways.

I understand that it's one thing to say "it's a sci fi movie so deal with it" but it's an entirely other thing to throw logic out the window. Like say some one can fly around the entire world in half a second but he can't fly 5 miles to save the woman he loves.... You have to stay within the realm of your film, you can't just say "it's sci fi, deal with it."

The Kryptonian thing really bugs me. They are an enormous amount of miles away and somehow look exactly like us. Maybe have us, in fact, both be humans but they are more evolved and maybe primitive Kryptonians are what we are. Especially if you want Superman to be attracted to Lois. To me that was always kinda sick, sort of like a human man falling in love with a female monkey. Yea, similar, but not the same.

 

[Webhead2006]

well they dont need to have lois learn to soon though for a new origin film/new series. we should really get to see the whole lois/clark/superman dynamic get played out and all that. and i dont see any issues with kryptonians looking like humans its a pretty common thing in scifi to have aliens that look like humans but have certain differences or have a humanoid look to them.

 

[3atman]

K, but that still doesn't explain why Kal-El (an alien) falls in love with a human. Think about it, what if the Aliens in the movie Alien fell in love with Sigourney Weaver? It's pretty messed up but that's basically what's happening regardless of how "humanlike" he is, he's NOT human.

My proposal is that an ancient tribe of Kryptonians were exploring the universe and stayed on earth. Earth, with it's easy climate, didn't force them to evolve as quick as the Kryptonians that went to Krypton. Or, you could say that maybe it was something like Australia where they sent criminals to earth to live in a "primitive culture" and they evolved into us.

I just really don't like the idea of a human being with an alien. I know, "ITS TEH SCIENCE FIKTION!!!!!!ZOMG!!!!!" but still, retain logic.

I don't see why it would be disgusting. Sure, Superman's an alien but he looks just like an ordinary human. He's much closer to us than a monkey would be to a person.

 

[3atman]

yea, because we're indestructible, able to fly, see through stuff, etc. As opposed to monkeys who r less intelligent more hairy versons of us.

 

[Webhead2006]

yea there is nothing wrong there plus he looks and acts like a human cause he was rised as a human so we he develop human emitions and all that.

Also like i pointed on in comics and scifi/fantasy things they always have aliens or creatures falling in love with humans and nothing is wrong with that. Plus in most comics/scifi things they have aliens who are human looking/humaniod and all that. So if they say biologically things are simular there is no reason why things cant happen between humans/aliens.

 

[3atman]

I don't know, probably just me but it's something that's fundamentally wrong to me that can easily be cured by saying that we're just a less evolved version of kryptonians and that living on krypton caused his body and mind to evolve faster since we live on a planet with such an easy going climate.

 

[Steve Holt]

maybe humans are a offshoot of the species that kryptonians eventually became, we ended up here thousands of years ago. Maybe we evolved to be weaker over time to adapt better on a basically cardboard planet.

something like that etc etc

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Superman acts like a better human being than pretty much all real human beings.

 

[El Payaso]

Being handsome, muscular, superpowered? Big deal. t:

 

[Ace of Knaves]

I mean his personality though. He is the best that humans can be. And we rarely meet that potential, if ever.

Ditto.

Its something often pointed out in the comics. That even though Clark is an alien he is more human than all of us. Even Batman has admitted that.

 

[Daybreak_st]

See this is a problem i have. What does it mean to be a Kryptonian? Really? they look the same as humans, on there planet though conditions were different they lived essentially like humans did, just in a more advanced way. It's only under a yellow sun that they somehow get supercharged and we don't. I'd compare them to a different culture on earth. But that's pretty much it. It's like a person grows up in china or india or some other location that has a vastly different culture than the western world. Does that mean that he or she wouldn't find a person of a different culture interesting and fall in love with them? No it happens all the time. Now take that same person, remove them from their natural culture, have them grow up in the west (for example) now what do you have. Essentially they'd be no different from anyone else born in the west. Maybe during their teenage or young adulthood they learn about the culture they're originally from. Would that totally change them? I doubt it. It might enrich their view on the world but wouldn't stop being who they were raised as just because they've learned more about the culture they came from. Sure they'd probably adobt some of their native cultures ways but it wouldn't change them.

I think all of this applies to superman. Kryptonians are just humans with a different culture (not literally but you know what i mean). He grew up as a normal human. He sees himself like a normal human. Learning about his origin and heritage wouldn't change that. He would grow up liking girls so i don't see anything odd about him being attracted to lois. It just makes sense.

I said he looks like a human. He obviously has powers that we don't, but he still resembles us, shares our feelings, all those things. Certainly Superman is closer to us than monkeys.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

No, no, no. Superman is more human than us. That's what it is, that's why he is DC's greatest hero.

 

[3atman]

Superman isn't MORE human than us, he's too perfect. "Too err is human" SUPERMAN HAS NO ERRORS. lol he might be more perfect than all of us can be as a human, but he sure as hell isn't more human than us. Maybe more humane, which is different. Maybe I'm just not a big enough Superman fan to have that opinion.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

I'm not a big Supes fan either to be honest. In fact, I hate him for the very reason him being too perfect. Well hate is too strong a word.

I prefer my heroes to have faults. In fact, I just prefer anti heroes. Psychotic ones at that, as you could probably tell

But with Supes it's like he has all the best qualities of humanity, and not the bad qualities. That's how I'd summerize him.

I wouldn't mind seeing Superman make a mistake. It's just that at his core he needs to be a nice guy.

But if heroes actually exist in real world, i bet u would prefer to get help from Superman than some crazy psychotic anti hero.

Thats the biggest fallacy told about the Superman. And mostly said by ppl who actually doesnt know the character and/or doesnt read his stories.
