^^^^^aye

You know, alot of these answers should be known to anyone who read the novel, like...

Spoiler

Superman recharges after flying above the clouds and throws NK into space under his own power. I doubt Jor-El has anything to do with it, or him coming back "to life" later on.

^^^^ As i said but thankyou i just didnt feel like quoting the book again after doing it so often

 

[Nivek]

But I think some people need it slapped to the head that very little is open to guesswork anymore.

Reading is Fundamental

 

[DvilDog]

I mean we know that Marv didnt follow the script exactly but he cant really sway off of it that much. So everything i see in there i take for face value until June 30th. As far as i am concerned the movie can be just like the book. I really enjoyed the novel

 

[Nivek]

Readings the easy part, digesting the information given is what throws some people off anymore.

 

[Fatboy Roberts]

I think you're giving some people too much credit

Plus, half the time they're too lazy to even LOOK for the stuff to read, much less actually read it.

 

[DvilDog]

well s^^^ pretty much the whole dam novel is in the novel spoiler thread. read the 30 pgs of posts and you know what the novel is about lol

 

[Newb]

Guys, it's not about people's inability to percive the information from the novelization. It's about taking it with a grain of salt, because we don't know how accurate it is. X2's book had Jean alive at the end, didn't it?

 

[DvilDog]

Thats what i said in an earlier post. But i honestly dont think the novel is going to differ from the script by something like the x2 novel did.

 

[Newb]

That's all well and good, come June 30 we'll see what's what.

Who the F**K is this guy?

 

[DvilDog]

^^^^ Didnt you ask that about me too LOL

 

[explode7]

No dont remember if I did.

Well Superman simply "recharging " seems kind of anti-climatic and boring.

so i take it that this is the recharging scene?

would i be right to say that this is apart of that scene too?

 

[NotFadeAway]

Recharging. WTF. I know Supermans powers come from the sun, but couldn't they come up with something more dramatic than that. Like leaving Supermans bloody, beating body at NK, and use the footage of Jor-El they have to show him sacrificng his "essence" to save Superman, which was supposed to happen in Superman 2. And shouldn't Lex know that the source of Superman's power is the sun. This recharging thing is lame. C'mon, Singer.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

I don't think it is......I mean.......that is his power........

 

[DvilDog]

I think its spectacular and thats gonna be an awesome scene. I can almost imagine it like nuclear man lol with the electric current running through his body. Just kidding about that last part, but still i cant wait for that scene.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Or more like Birdman.........

 

[Agentdemon]

so i take it that this is the recharging scene?

I would agree except one thing, his hair is perfect. If you look through the TV posts and trailer you'll notice his hair is still wet after getting saved by whom ever( most likely richard) and his hair is still messy while falling back to earth after throwing NK. Unless of course a lot of time passes after getting stabbed and the recharge( if it happens at all) but I doubt it, most likely that clip takes place as he going up to his "listening post."

 

[NotFadeAway]

I don't think it is......I mean.......that is his power........

I know it's his power, but wouldn't Lex know that as well, being the "unstable, psychotic, funny madman" that he is. Wouldn't he just leave him with the kryptonite to die. And even then, couldn't you come up with a more dramaic scene than a simple recharge, using the old Brando footage of Jor-El sacrificing himself. Hmmmmm..........

 

[TrailerMusic]

using the old Brando footage of Jor-El sacrificing himself. Hmmmmm..........

They probably couldnt since thats being used in the upcoming Donner Cut of Superman 2

 

[Fatboy Roberts]

They hadn't found that footage when they started shooting. Singer only found unused stuff from Superman I, nothing that was earmarked for Superman II.

Plus what the hell is more symbolic than our fallen hero ascending to the sky to reclaim his power? That's some powerful imagery. Having him lay around in the rock so a ghostly face can appear out of nowhere, pull a sistine chapel and we play the popeye music? That's a crap idea, seriously. It doesn't even have any movie logic working for it--because Jor-El shows up in the FORTRESS. He can't spectrally appear wherever he wants, even if New Krypton is made out of a crystal. It makes our hero passive, on top of that. You don't want Superman anymore passive in this flick, right.
