Is the bottom how you are supposed to read the dates? Seems a little complicated.

It's a bloody shame that two movies in a row we get a desaturated suit on film when in reality the actual suits (SR & MOS) were quite colorful in real life (on set). It's one thing to remove the trunks but he isn't Batman. If the TV spots and trailers are any indication, without the "red" cape, we wouldn't have been able to tell the difference between Zod and Superman in those quick shots from their fight scene. There should be a bigger contrast there and I'm surprised at how dull the colors look considering Zack Snyder directed it.

Color = corny and cheesy. Dark = cool and contemporary. disagree though.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I don't have a problem with the colors.

Disagree with that logic completely.

 

[Super Kal]

Disagree with that logic completely.

as do i

 

[Tacit Ronin]

Avatar and Avengers are two of the highest grossing films this century and both are very vivid and colorful. So the general public being more attracted to desaturated and dull palettes over vibrant ones are not true.

 

[Gianakin_]

The new footage from the SoS TV spot is pure sex.

There is just so much wrong in this post. Iron Man 3's box office gross would like to have a word with you (and that's just using 2013 as an example).

I think you forgot to read the last two words of his post.

 

[Kal-El.9859]

for you fellow soldiers out there...

 

[regwec]

The first one is very homoerotic.

[Kal-El.9859]

let's not go there

 

[G.Godfrey]

The first one is very homoerotic.

Is it? Didn't cross my mind, but hey, whatever floats your boat! t:

 

[747]

Homoeroticism ftw.

 

[The Shield]

The first one is very homoerotic.

umm Not really.

 

[Kal-El.9859]

some people will say anything to get a rise out of others

 

[regwec]

I'm not trying to get a rise out of anyone. I don't intend the comment to be offensive, nor do I think anyone should be offended by it.

The composition suggests that Superman is about to embrace that little boyish soldier. He is wearing rather a 'tender' expression. If the soldier was female, you would all see it too.

Anyway, nothing to get upset about.

 

[Sharkboy]

Why are people getting upset over regwec's comment.

On the other hand, Try telling some female Sherlock (bbc version) fans that the homoeroticism is in their head...it's not pretty.

 

[Kal-El.9859]

I don't see it...but whatever

 

[Sharkboy]

I don't see it...but whatever

You're getting in such a huff over a seemingly throwaway remark over piece of non-movie marketing.

This is the "permawhite" debate for Man of Steel. When TDK was coming out, a lot of people were upset that the Joker wasn't permawhite and that he was wearing makeup. They thought that the color of his skin was an essential part of the character. In fact, it was just fan boyism - being upset that the iconography doesn't match comic book dream. When the movie came out the fresh approach on the Joker worked perfectly; it helped ground the whole thing a little more and made it less cartoonish.
It's the same here. I know the vibrant red, yellow, and blue seems like a cornerstone, but it is truly not necessary to the character or to the story. It's just your fanatic nostalgia coming through. I think nocking the colors down like they have will probably make Superman more reasonable and relatable, - more like a man and less like a comic book character.

I'm not in a huff or anything...I just don't see it as being homoerotic or anything homosexual at all. And of course this is part of the movie marketing...it's out in the public eye. It's the Facebook banner for the US National Guard so yes, it is very much so helping to market the movie

Stop making so much sense, you're hurting my fanboyism!!
