Superman Returns SR in TIME mag's Summer Preview

[The Sage]

Super hero angst is partly what sells these stories on both movies and TV. We been knowing this for years

Angst is fine when used well. Some movies and tv shows don't know how to.

 

[Super_Ludacris]

But that's what sells them is my point. Not whether there used well or not.

 

[JackBauer]

I can definitely understand people not liking Superman. what pisses me off is that ignorant attitude that says heroes have to be dark and brooding in order to be interesting. quite frankly, that's pure bulls#!t. and if you can't see how Superman can be interesting, you're just not trying hard enough.

btw, I SEE SPIDEY, you're looking forward to Venom and yet you think Superman's bland?! oh, the irony...

 

[SolidSnakeMGS]

Whocares? I and some other folk find him to be a somewhat bland hero;

Who cares. I and many other folk disagree with you.

Hopefully Singer makes him a little more interesting.

He's already pretty interesting.

Dude, I don't let people tell me what to think and what to like, I make up my own mind. For example, I happen to think that "Superman The movie" is a 6 out of 10 movie, a mediocre slapstick movie that falls apart after Clark goes to Metropolis. I loved Reeve as Superman though, he is perfectly cast, if only I didn't hate his Clark Kent so much.

Uh, good for you I guess. I never said you didn't make up your own mind. I was just pointing out that for a character you consider uninteresting, he sure does get a lot of interest from other people.

See, all of that is my opinion, I'm intitled to it!

Oh and here:

 

[Superman \S/]

Edit.

 

[The Sage]

Exactly, the character isn´t dark or brooding, but you can find good character conflict in him if you want to. Look at his father´s death in STM. All the powers in the world, and he couldn´t save the life of a loved one. That´s great conflict.

Exactly. And in SR you'll have the prodigal son returning home. But, instead of being welcomed with open arms, Supes is gonna be in some way rejected. He'll be rejected by the world, and more specifically, by Lois. That's conflict, that's power. Imagine coming home and realizing home doesn't want you. There's your human connection, there's the relatibility that everyone craves.

But that's what sells them is my point. Not whether there used well or not.

I agree.

I agree with you there.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Oh and here:

Don't use pictures to agrue with me, it's wholly unoriginal and makes you look dumb. I know because I've used them before. I won't be using them again BTW.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

When does jack go to the bathroom?

[I SEE SPIDEY]

You know I can't really care about your opinion because I hate 24 and you seem to like it. We have different taste obviously.

 

[JackBauer]

yep. I have good taste and you have bad. obviously.

 

[explode7]

That new pic looks awful. Superman looks like he is forcing himself to fly.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

yep. I have good taste and you have bad. obviously.

Thats a good one.

 

[hippie_hunter]

No...no one can ever compare a character like Superman to ****Everine....

From now on, I will refer Wolverine as ****everine.

 

[Fatboy Roberts]

I have a hard time believing you're actually "too old for this s**t" because if this little argument is any example, you're barely "too old for 4th grade"

 

[The Sage]

That new pic looks awful. Superman looks like he is forcing himself to fly.

Well it certainly isn't the wind that lifts him in the air, my future Apprentice...

 

[Lone]

And yet, once SR hits the bigscreen, ppl won't stop talking about it for a looooooooooooooooooong time.

Superman, bland? That's rich.

 

[SolidSnakeMGS]

Don't use pictures to agrue with me, it's wholly unoriginal and makes you look dumb. I know because I've used them before. I won't be using them again BTW.

BTW you didn't refute anything I said, soooooo....

 

[explode7]

Well it certainly isn't the wind that lifts him in the air...

I want the flying to look graceful and look as if it comes natural to superman just like walking is to us I guess we really have to see it in motion to fully judge.

 

[The Sage]

It looks he's flying fast on a mission in this one. The graceful stuff will come later. This one seems more about power and speed.

 

[Whack Arnolds]

No, it isn't... Because this is the same guy that flew around the worl so fast that he reversed the earth's rotation...thus going back in time????? If he could do that, why didn't he just keep going back in time to save his father and speed him to a hospital to counter act his father's heart attack? That is just one of the reasons, why that single act makes the og Superman movies so incredibly sh1tty. And why many don't like the character.

 

[explode7]

Yeah and I also want him to be unconcious of himself flying as well just like we are unconcious that we are walking, we don't really pay attention that we are walking simple stuff like that. If you know what I mean.

 

[The Sage]

That's probably one of the things from the past that'll be ignored. Besides, that's no goofier than Ra's Al Ghul wanting to destroy Gotham for a catastrophe that he himself perpetuated.
