First of all, El Payaso, how come u keep bringing the amensia kiss since that wasnt even Donner`s idea?
Its obviously a terrible scene but you seem to keep bringing this scene to back your argument thats been proven wrong many times by me and mego joe.
Secondly, Me and mego joe never said the Donner movies were perfect. But the core of the character in those movies was intact. The good outweighted the bad, not the case with SR.
The point of SII is that he made a selfish reason to give up of his powers to be with Lois. However it wasnt THAT selfish because Lois loves him and he loves her. So the reason behind it was to make Lois happy and be a husband to her. However, he learned through the events of the movie that he cant be with her and be Superman at the same time. Thats the lesson. He has a duty with mankind. Not because his father said so. Because its his choice. He choses to go back to the fortress to get his powers back.
When SR starts, Superman already made 2 mistakes for pure selfish reasons and hurt everybody in the process and this is the point we`re trying to argue.
1)He never said Lois goodbye and never said where he was going to anybody except his mother.
In all 70`s of history of the character of Superman, Lois has always been Superman`s one and true love. Its his Jane, Juliet, whatever u feel like it.
Now i`m not talking about comics. I`m talking about morals. Being in love with someone means putting her happyness over yours. Because to see her happy means makes you happy. This what being a husband means. He would never hurt on purpose. This is for everybody, men or Supermen.
Superman however is not the normal human being. He is above us. He is supposed to be an inspiration in every aspect of life. This is how Superman have been portrayed for 70 years and why he endured so long. Dont bring up stupid stories from the comics to back up your aguments. GET THIS. Many writers of the comics get Superman wrong too. Thats why those stories are long forgotten or will be someday. The ones that remain in every fan minds are the ones that will forever.
GET THIS. DONNER SUPERMAN IS THE BEST INTERPRETATION OF SUPERMAN IN THE BIG SCREEN TILL NOW BUT THAT DOESNT MEAN THERE CANT BE BETTER ONES. THATS WHAT ME AS FAN WANT WHEN I GO TO THE THEATER
TO WATCH A SUPERMAN MOVIE.
In this case, with SR, Superman because of the estabilished relationship with Lois Lane in the previous movies OR comics (vague sequel), he would always put Lois above himself.
THe BIG INCONSITENCY in SR and the WHOLE PLOT OF THE MOVIE IS BASED IN THE IDEA THAT SUPERMAN SCREWS UP and doesnt SAY GOODBYE TO LOIS.
The reason for this in the movie is that Superman DOESNT HAVE THE BALLS TO DO WHATS RIGHT because he loves her too much so if he see her one more time, he wouldn`t be able to go.
THIS IS COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS and how can u not see this?
Superman is purposely hurting Lois Lane and everyone around him.
SUPERMAN DOESNT MAKE THIS TYPE OF MISTAKE AND THIS IS OUT OF THE CHARACTER.
Maybe Spider-man does. Or Indiana Jones. Or Wolverine. Or Batman. Or me and you.
But Superman is none of the above. He is more.
Yes, he has human emotions. But his emotions are still based on something that makes him more than us. His sense of right and wrong, his integrity.
Because the GA and Marvel fans who never read great stories from the comics have the stupid idea that Superman is boring and MR perfect, Singer came to Superman with the Marvel idea to humanize Superman by making him like every character in the Marvel Universe, like X-men.
A loner, a stranger, a reject of the society.
However, the basic idea of Superman is that even in the greatest tragedy that has ever happened to him, wich is Krypton exploding when he was baby, he still learned the lesson of hope, wich is his parents making the sacrifice to save him.
Superman is not a Marvel character and shouldn`t be treated as so.
Singer made the character himself. A lone, strange, reject. However Superman is not himself, me, you, mego joe or anyone. This is great in every type of movie. NOT A SUPERMAN MOVIE. Because He is SUPERman.
He is more.
The 2nd mistake is obviously not telling the world where he is going.
Superman is the kind of the character that is a leader. He gives speeches to the world. See SIV, Lois & Clark, etc. He is the kind of character that is TRUTH AND JUSTICE personalized.
The Superman i know the moment he found about about the existence of Krypton would make a public conference and say something like this.
"People of Earth. I`ve always devoted my life to help as much as i can. With the possibility of Krypton being alive, there is a possibility that more superpowered people would come to Earth like what happened so i have to go back to see if theres any possible threats. I`m the one one who can do this."
He would leave and even if Lois published the article, people would still think Superman made the right move. And even her would think twice before publishing it because in the end, everybody would know that Superman made the right move.
Wich is, to be a hero. Put people first before himself.
In SR, he doesnt say goodbye to anybody, so, superman leaves to krypton because he is felling lonely and hurt lois.
2 inconsistencies that is a proof that Superman acted out of character IN THIS MOVIE AND that reflects that Singer doesnt know the character at all. At least not when he made SR.
He can make Man of Steel a great movie we all can love and thats what me as a fan want and hope.
But he didnt do it with SR. He tried his best`m sure and made SR with all his best intentions. But that wasnt enough.
HE JUST NEEDS TO DO MORE.
