I'm in the extreme texags minority of loving the colors on the trailer. it's a comic book movie. That's what a comic book looks like.YouBet said:The Porkchop Express said:This looks like it was done by 8th graders in the A/V Class after schoolQuad Dog said:New look at David Corenswet as Clark Kent & #Supermanpic.twitter.com/KtoMQorndB

You should rectify that. But I'll only recommend the first one. Superman II was a lot of fun when it came out, but it is a movie that has not withstood the test of time. Although it still has one of the best sequences in such a movie right at the end. If they want to watch any further sequels, I'd tell them they're on their own for III and IV. Superman Returns was good not great, and obviously does not feature the late Christopher Reeve in the titular role but it is probably what should have been Superman III.Quote:
and they haven't even seen the original Christopher Reeves versions…..
To me, this quote from an early issue of BATMAN/SUPERMAN sums up what Superman nicely. This trailer seems to go with that, and it makes me hopeful. Superman should be a little corny, dorky and a big ol' Boy Scout. We already have Homelander, I'd prefer Superman not follow suit, but I'm a little (maybe a lot) corny too.Quote:
"IT IS A REMARKABLE DICHOTOMY. IN MANY WAYS, CLARK IS THE MOST HUMAN OF US ALL. THEN, HE SHOOTS FIRE FROM THE SKIES, AND IT IS DIFFICULT NOT TO THINK OF HIM AS A GOD. AND HOW FORTUNATE WE ALL ARE THAT IT DOES NOT OCCUR TO HIM."

A spot for the movie debuted during the Netflix NFL games on Christmas Day, to which one of my uncles, who's in his late 60s, goes, "Oh, wow, they're making a new Superman movie?!" This is someone who's not into superhero movies at all, btw. I told him yeah, there's a full trailer out, which he asked to see. So I showed it to my entire extended family and afterwards, my dad, who's in early 70s and hates superhero movies even more than my uncle, goes, "Okay, I'll definitely see that." Same goes for one of my sisters, who only likes the Guardians of the Galaxy movies and the Holland Spider-Man movies. She said she had no interest in "that dark Superman movie" (Man of Steel) but now really wants to see this one. No one in the room had even seen Man of Steel, as they all seemed turned off by how serious it looked, but REALLY responded to this trailer. My immediate family is all big The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel fans as well, so they were especially into the Brosnahan casting, but everyone even liked Krypto too.
Anyway, I know it's not the most accurate sample, but if my family is any indication whatsoever, and the movie is even remotely good, based on all the other buzz so far, we could be in for something big.
Also lots of Jesus and Christian symbolism in the Superman story.Nanomachines son said:aTmAg said:I'm not talking about a few scenes when he was a teenager, I mean literally focusing an entire movie on his youth.Rex Racer said:Now you're just trolling. Seriously.aTmAg said:
And I cannot think of a superman origin story. Are you talking about the TV shows? Because I have never watched those. I wish they would do it in the movies.
Superman: The Movie had his origin story.
Man of Steel had his origin story.
Those are movies.
For example, a huge percentage of people who had God powers would NOT use it to selflessly defend others and fight crime. These movies don't come close to explaining how Superman chose the opposite path other than "he's a good guy".
Like have young Superman use his super strength to accidentally kill his best friend. Then avow to never hurt an innocent person again. Something different like that.
Superman is from Krypton, a species of being with perfected genetics. His birth parents were actually that good. Then he was found by some of the best people in the entire DCU and raised a farm boy who valued all life while understanding the value of hard work and sacrifice.
Superman is good because his genetics and upbringing virtually guaranteed he would be good. The idea of him ever choosing to be bad is anathema to his birth and adoptive parents.
Think about the normal person from a midwestern state who grew up on a farm. Do any of these people strike you as someone who would become a bad person? His birth parents were probably the greatest examples of Kryptonians his entire species had. His entire family was held up among a species of near godlike beings as an ideal to strive to.
Don't psychoanalyze jt, just accept he's a genuinely good person because he had fantastic advantages in all aspects of his life.
