Current Events > It's funny how people hate on MoS but also yet, never watched Superman Returns

(+) Yeah! (+)

Superman Returns portrayed the superhero the most accurately but was also a box office bomb.

Why?

Because that superman is BORING! No one wants to watch this flying dude do absolutely nothing suspenseful and the final act is him literally just lifting up a giant island.

It's funny the hypocrisy I see on the hate levelled on Snyder's take of Superman. Snyder actually tried something different by exploring a darker and more realistic Superman, which btw, happens in the comics too. Otherwise, why not just make another flop called Superman Returns 2.0?

Well yeah, Supes has never been a particularly compelling character

Yeah well, he did become one in MoS.

Also the action is badass. This is the sort of s*** I can only expect from a few fictional works portraying overpowered characters, the other being Dragonball

The action is the only part of MoS worth watching. Superman Returns had a much better actor playing Lex Luthor.

was that the movie where he fucks off to krypton and comes back to fine louis had his kid?

Superman is a highly deep character if you actually take the time to read and watch his stuff. The problem is casuals don't do that, they go on with general information of what they hear and compare him to Batman.

Superman's greatest strength has always been his sense of morality and how he got there through his upbringing with the Kent's.

movies are for casuals, that's always been the case. they're not going to go into deep lore in a movie since they expect 90+% of the audience to either not know it or not give a damn.

Superman Returns also sucked despite solid casting. It just sucked differently than MoS.

But MoS shows a deep character in Clark and yet people aren't able to see and understand it.

It's almost like both movies are flawed for different reasons.

I've read the comics Superman too, including what is apparently the greatest one All-Star superman by Morrison. Those were just boring AF.
The best Superman stories are those that explore his darker side or theoretical scenarios like Red Son

Read Red Son. No don't watch the movie, read the series.

They used that Superman in the last arrow verse crossover. Brandon routh as both atom and Superman at the same time

---

Both movies were very bad

Red Son tackles what I meant: his upbringing. It's what makes him who he truly is and every true Superman fan knows it's what emphasized about him.

I would have loved to see a cinematic universe with Brandon Routh's Superman, Christian Bale's Batman, and Ryan Reynold's Green Lantern.

Can't happen, Deadpool killed that Green Lantern. Thank God.
