Sequels The Official Jason White Thread

[Showtime]

I don't think they should kill Richard, and I like the idea of him becoming Metallo or Bizzaro.

^ That's absurd.

^ That's absurd.

and very unoriginal.

Read the first post please.

They're not going to kill Jason. End of.

The first post is stupid because it says we can't talk about everything that was wrong with this character. He never should've existed. At all.

I'd hate it if they shoehorned Richard into a villain role with some hokey and tired ass "I now hate Superman" routine.

You can bet something is going to happen with Richard, you guys think he's just going to stand there looking dopey in a sequel. He needs a storyline.

and that's why i started that thread about Richard, you guys should post your thoughts about Richard there instead

His needing a storyline doesn't automatically translate into some tired 'good guy goes bad' deal. There are ways of involving the character without going down that route.

How many movies have we seen a good guy like Richard (who seemed more like the protagonist in Superman Returns) go completely evil in the sequel? I'm not understanding how this is tired? I'm not talking about wobbling on the fence between good and evil...I'm talking about going completely evil and having extreme loath for the superhero. How often has this been done? And in what movies?

The closest thing I can think of is Anniken's transformation to Darth Vader (which wasn't executed greatly at all). Plus, Anniken was already kind of a rebel with lust for power (and he eventually redeemed his evil ways). Richard is your Grade A, All American Boyscout....going completely evil. How is that tired?

I'm not saying that, but he's not going to just stand there, he needs to be involved heavily in the next storyline, and anything is a possibility. Right now Richard was so well liked that turning heel is either a horrible option or needed to build Superman back up again. Whether it's good storytelling or not, I am not saying that either.

Jimmy olsen and Perry white have done that in all the superman movies.

I would say that Richard White is a much more relevant and important character in the DonSingerverse than Perry or Jimmy.

i agree

Exactly. In Superman Returns, I felt like Richard was more of a hero than Superman. I honestly empathized more with Richard's character than Superman's. which is a problem considering Superman is supposed to be the protagonist!

Richard White is what Superman would be if you took away his powers. That's why Lois is attracted to him. That's why it's more effective to keep him that away as opposed to turning him into a villian - it's better dramatic conflict with the extra fluff. If he is in the sequel, I hope his part of the story gets resolved. I don't want this weird love triangle going on forever.

That's your opinion.

Saying "he shuddna hav existed lolz" isn't going to bring anything to the discussion, because he does exist and they are going to use him in a sequel.
So either suggest something that you would be content with, or get out.

Well then how do you propose it is resolved then?

I do agree with you on that!

I propose Lois Lane tells Richard the truth. That she truly does love Superman and that Jason is actually Superman's kid. Why would Richard stick around after that?

What I'm content with is killing off Jason.

Then Superman definately is a homewrecker and doesn't paint the character in a very good light.

sad to disapoint you but its not gonna happen.

Why not? Killing him off is just as controversial as introducing him in the first place. And entirely possible.
