Superman Returns Why the flashback scene?

[Galactical]

like this whole flashback scene.

*rimshot*

Honestly, it's not negativity nor a complaint. That's linguistic manipulation to missname it that to de-validate it isn't it? Like a nazi calling a jew a pest needing to be exterminated. (i've read a book or two now... i have)

i'll call it inquisitivity instead of negativity. That's much nicer sounding.

I am glad someone made a topic for this. I was about to post about the same subject and a theory I have. Perhaps the powers are stressed induced. Ok, stay with me. there all there inside dormant but something physically or psychology has to trigger the growth of that power . Like latent energy vs. kinetic energy.

Ok so in the first movie the car almost falls on Jonathan but Baby Clark catches the car.. Super reflexes and super strength ..bamm! I know that its another director but in this movie the kid is about to loss his mothers life and then the power kicks in and no need for the inhaler. in Clarks case when he is running he has on the glasses , and a point is made to show him sliding them back up on his face when the slide down when he is jumping.( I need a pair of those freaking glasses cause mine come off if I even look down!) Anyways when he makes a bad landing in the barn and covers his face ..then his body takes over.. and no need for glasses.

On a side note, Dragon Ball Z's main character Goku has his powers increase in time due to stress from fights and from death itself.
Goku has commonly been referred to as the Japanese equivalent of Superman due to their similar origins (sent to another planet, home worlds destroyed, found by a nice elderly person who raised him as his own) and powers (superstrength, flight,invulnerability)

Wow people still complaining over not getting the Superman movie they wanted..you would think at this point they would get tired of complaining and give up..The negativity is getting real old people...move on already please.

The movie is what, two weeks old? I loved it, but why can't people discuss the negative aspects?

Well, I'm sure he's getting frustrated not with the negative aspects but the trolls who come here just to troll and pounce on the slow box office earnings.

I loved it.. and already mentioned my only problem with the film.. the lack of a butt on kate..that girl needs some food and a good step program! Other than that great film.

Powers that trigger at times of heightened emotional stress? Hmm...sounds like the X-Men.

Lois & Clark should make a call to Westchester...

Im guessing Jason's hair is never cut either because you cant cut Kryptonian hair with scissors?

Wow, suddenly a useless scene is about 2% less useless.

yo dan

I think that when we see a director's/extended version of the film, we will find out for sure that the flying scene will also lead right into the discovery, or introduction of, the ship, the crystals and their potential power.

As much as I would want an extended cut, we won't see one!!! Singer says that the cut is HIS cut.. he obviously doesn't believe in extended cuts. The director's cut should of course be the version that hits theaters, otherwice it's stupid... But I'm sure we'll see all of these scenes in extra material in form of a little thing called "deleted scenes".. propobly with a choice to watch it with comentary (explaining why it was cut), or without.

F**ck that Jason kid.

Stupid mophead!

Okay, but I saw nothing in that original post talking about trolls or slow box office earnings. He said he's tired of people not getting the Superman movie they want. Most of these people are making legitimate claims why they didn't like the movie.

Why can't people discuss the negative aspects?

There is a thread specially made for that

 

[buggs0268]

Yeah we missed the pa kent factor. it was all Jor el, brando's glory moments taking their place. When in stm, it was pa kent's voice and jor el's voice conflicting in supe's mind but not this time... meh.

This fashback was unnecessary. I just can't find a real reason for its existence other than to show some cool power scenes.

The idea of showing he needed gasses then didn't need glasses isn't explored at all so i don't know where that's coming from. they're Probably just digging for gold it seems.

I think it is because unlike most of the cut stuff, that was the one thing that was in all of the previews.

One thread???

 

[TrailerCues]

One thread???

Better then the boards ending up with thousands of thread full of hate & love with it which would end of as spamming & trolling in many different threads based on the same topic. Learn a thing or two about being organized. Which the mods here are trying to keep this board organized
