My buddy and I recorded a podcast comparing the two films (FranchiseWars by Kitchen Sink on Apple Podcasts), but we also noted that both are completely different animals regarding the franchise... But still have a few kind of weird similarities.
I mean, one was trying to refit and relaunch an old series, even to the extent of casting actors more for the way they could play Donner's versions than me ones, while the other film was very much trying to start over and reinterpret the characters. But both had excellent casts, and both featured Kryptonian terraforming as key plot points.
Both also have some interesting implications when viewed in hindsight. Jason White is basically a prototype of Chris Kent and Jon Kent, while there's actually some heartwarming implications about Smallville in MOS when you realize that a good chunk fit eh town probably knows about Clark, but didn't utter a peep under Zod's threat.
What dot out guys think? Is one better than the other? Are there things we missed?
