you dont have a history of posting here. its not that we hate the movie (though i will say that most of us are not particularly fond of it) its that SR-philes constantly come here to tell us how great their movie is compared to our show. then, we have to endure things like "the SV shield is ripping off SR"
it gets annoying. which is why SR is not allowed to be spoken about in here. Unfortunatley the mods havent been enforcing that as of late.
All-star and K-8 have been posting here for a while, and we get it, and we have those debates and move on. their are no hard feelings bc we are accustomed to eachother, even if the harping on the subject gets a little tired.
what we as a group (hopefully i speak for the rest of us, if not, im sorry) do not feel like we have to put up with are people who show up here out of nowhere talking about how great SR is compared to SV and that the only good stuff from SV comes from SR.
If you've seen my history of posts, then you know i never said that SR is better than SV (because i don't believe that at all), and i certainly do not think SV is ripping off of SR. I'm not sure why people are taking this personally. I HATED many many parts of the movie. In fact, after watching ZOD (season opener), I was even more disappointed in the movie because I had more fun watching those 45 minutes than a 3 hour big budget summer flick.
I don't post here often, (or at least didn't before, but now i do), but again i certainly don't see myself as a person "who show up here out of nowhere" and I certainly am not one of those that think "SR is great compared to SV and everything good from SV is from SR". This is open posting forum, for everyone for a good discussion. Again, it seems like everyone is getting upset just because i said it looks like the SR symbol. No one is copying from anyone else, no one is ripping off the other, because they all have teh same source, and ultimately they will all look the same and similar to each other. Just because you and the others you mentioned are regular posters doesn't mean you can't respect the other "new people" opinions. And like the person said, this is a discussion of the S in smallvile, i don't see how me offering my opinion is a sign of prolonging a dead argument that has moved on?
I think those that come in this forum to say that SR is greater than SV is really insecure about their movie and feel the need to make the rest of the world agree with them. I am a superman comic fan first, and then whatever else comes. Just because i have routh as my avatar doesn't mean my alliance is with SR and i hate SV. If i thought that, I wouldn't watch every episode, and then come here to discuss and see what others have to say about it. I read triplet's reviews, and i see what others liked or disliked about the show. While you're staying to keep the two separate, I'm trying to bring the two together. I don't feel i have to take one side or the other, just like i don't think every superman fan should pick one. It kinda sucks for the middle people who like both, because they have no place where they can share their opinion.
