Since when did Kitty have a more developed relationship with Superman? Just because He saved her from the car? Teschmacher did not fall in love with superman just from reading the newspaper. She only made the comment that he's good looking and always tells the truth and the such just as Kitty said Superman was "cute" when Lex was reading the paper on the balcony scene. The only scene kitty had with superman is that car scene and waht did she say that made you think that their relationship was "developed?" That she had a heart murmur? That she tried to make him stay when he was going to fly away? Cmon now. She did not develop any relationship with him. She was just BSing to distract him since she knew Lex was at the museum. That's not a developed relationship.
Kitty and Superman had the rescue-hospital scene where she started to feel admirationm for Superman.
Teschmacher had none.
Kitty was not Bsing since at that point she knew Lex cut the car’s breaks for real when it was supposed to be a hoax. At the point, as we know later, she was furious at Lex.
And yes.. actual events. You said what he did was perfectly in character with respect to the franchise. Therefore he must have done something in the previous movies that lead you to believe that he would do such a thing. This is how you determine whether or not it's in character because you base it on events from before such as "ok he did this in superman 1 so yeah.. he could probably do such a think in SR." Get it? Sleeping with a dying old lady is NOT what someone who believes themselves to be "the greatest criminal mind of our time" would do. This is a guy who built a friggin hologram device while in jail. Figured out the loaction of the Fortress of solitude. You'd think he'd be able to come up with something better than to be a male gigolo. Not very ingenious.
He’s a pennyless convict, he has no choice but to leave everything aside in order to regain freedom and power. It is suggested that Gertrude helped him to get free from jail (“all good men deserve a second chance. From the moment I received your first letter I knew you were not like the rest.”
so he needed her to go free and rich again in a short period of time.
Quite ingenious I say. Disgusting but ingenious, like Luthor himself.
Everything he did on STM and SR shows he’s able to do anything for his goals. To betray Zod and become Superman’s temporary allie only to betray Superman. At that point, his situation was so precarious that he had to ally himself with his main enemy, leaving his proud away in order to save his neck.
So, as we saw on SII, he’s able to degrade himself in order to do so. Thus, consistent with the character.
And it's lame that the writers thought this was the only way to show he's despicable. There's many other ways they could do it. I wonder what kids thought when they watched this scene. If I were a parent I would totally think it's inappropriate for a Superman movie.
And this is one of my favourite line of arguments. The idea is bad because of what little kids could think or feel about it. Kids can go and watch lazy Town for all I care. Superman deserves an adult movie now and then.
Please tell me how kid-friendly is the universal measure for quality.
Every scene in every movie could have been done differently. But artists make decisions. From those decisions comes style.
Btw.. I have no idea what your point is when you wrote this "Not only did he screw the old lady but he also made her to give her back to her family by being a hypocrit." I don't think english is your first language but I just didn't understand the point you were trying to make here.
All the Gertrude’s family was against her “friendship” with Luthor. Nevertheless she kept having Luthor as her lover and denied her own family any attention or money when she signed her will giving everything to Lex.
By being a hypocrit, Luthor achieved not only the money but to turn Gertrude against her own family.
Ahh.. my point is valid about lex surrounding himself with weaker people. You said ALWAYS. So apparently he doesnt always do it. If he always surrounds himself with weaker people he would have never gone into an agreement with 3 kryptonians in the first place. A better way to state it is that Lex will ally himself with anyone who can help him toward his goal.. not just because they're weak. This is then true for the movies as well as the comics Lex.
Luthor always gets involved with what he thinks are not that intelligent people. What happened with Zod is that he thought he could handle the Kryptonians in a much easier way but his calculations failed.
Spacey could always play a more menacing Lex. It's just the material he was given sucked. I would rather he be more like his Keyser Soze character. A ruthless, eloquent, genius.
I think I myself said something about Spacey’s Lex as a weak point in the movie?
And please.. you need to get off your high horse and stop your condescending attitude thinking you're bringing peace to my soul or satisfying my curiousity. My question was directed at a group.. not just you.
It is not the first time, nor will be the last one, that El Payaso’s generosity is rewarded with harsh ungratefulness.
No, but reallu, don't take everything so seriously.
duh.
