So the spoilers are actually real.

>30,000 ago, Darkseid's invasion is repeled by humanity, Atlantis and Themyscira, and three Mother Boxes are left behind and divided between the three. Once united they became a weapon of mass destruction.

>On present day, Darkseid's enforcer Steppenwolf is lured to Earth by Lex Luthor's experiments with Kryptonian technology and his soldiers, the Parademons, begin kidnapping scientists.

>Batman finds out about it and asks Wonder Woman for help to recruit a team to stop them. The Flash agrees, Aquaman and Cyborg initially decline. Cyborg later changes his mind when his father is kidnapped.

>Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash and Cyborg find the Parademons' nest and rescue the scientists, while Steppenwolf steals Atlantis' Mother Box, forcing Aquaman to join the team.

>They attempt to protect Themyscira's Mother Box, but fail, and feel like failures. Batman convinces them they can't give up and they converge to protect the last Mother Box which is in possession of the United States. Steppenwolf still retrieves it and activates the weapon.

>Superman comes back to life and helps them defeat Steppenwolf. Cyborg interfaces with the weapon, disables it, and teleports the Parademons back to Apokolips.

>The world saved, the heroes decide to stay together as the Justice League. Darkseid finds out about them and plans to attack Earth himself.

Bravo, Snyder.

It's literally the same plot from Avengers.

Just replace Steppenwolf with Loki, Darkseid with Thanos, Mother Box with Cosmic Cube, Parademons with Chitauri.

That's 100% Johns to be honest. The more Snyder puts in the movie (seven samurais and Arthurian stuff) the less avenger the movie will be.

This sound bad. There's nothing in this that make the movie stand out.

Say what you want about MoS and BvS, but at least those movie tackled a bunch of neat stuffs: MoS with the alien invasion + 9/11 parallels and BvS with media bashing about MUH TRUTH and the generational conflict.

This... this just seem like a copy The Avengers.

Who knows, maybe they will tackle prejudice and international politics with the whole Atlanteans, Amazons and Humans thing? That could be neat. Specially in light of Brexit.

It's unfortuantely what audiences want.

MoS and BVS got resounding no's in every regard.

People chanted asking for quips and light heartedness and that is what we will get.
>>
>>84807676

Lois knew how to grab the spear because the spear hurt Superman, she knew Lex was planning something with the Scout Ship and watched the bright light in the sky with something heavy falling.

But you could have a lighthearted movie and still do something neat... right?

Fuck. Well, at least i have Wonder Woman movie with the WW1 and Diana naively treating everything in black & white while discovering that there's no right side in that war only senseless carnage promoted by Ares because humans are easily manipulated and corrupted.
>>

That's nonsensical.

That kind of movie sells.

But i think that you can do the formula and have something different.

See Iron Man 3, Captain America 2 (The Winter Soldier) and Captain America 3 (Civil War). They're easily the best ones.

Iron Man 3, with the Mandarin twist, is easily the top 5 of the MCU. Fuck the haters. The Mandarin twist was clever as fuck.

Civil War isn't as good as Winter Soldier, because it's more about a super-hero slugfest, but the Accords and Bucky bits are very good.
>>
>>84808118

Why?
>>
>>84808189
They had that stupid face swapping / voice changing technology so that anybody could be anybody. For example Widow was impersonating a businessman or similar in the room at the end. I don't remember it having any prior set up in the movie.

At that point, you have a dilemma were anybody could be anybody, there's no tension.

You also have things like the black wing dude falling off the building and then flying up, comic readers would know that he is a hero and that was coming. But for me, as a normie at the time, I was like holy shit that guy just fell off a building. Nope, mechanical angel wings, what the fuck.

The whole movie just had stupid technology like that showing up to save people when shit hit the fan, with that established, nothing else matters.
>>
>>84808023
IM3 is okay at best and Civil War is fucking pathetic garbage
>>
>>84808359

Yeah, stupid saves in the last minute is something to be expected in an MCU. Danger is treated as a set-up for "awesome" moments of action with everybody coming out unscathed and everything is treated casually.

>>84808547

Those are irritating. But I'm not against some fan service.

But saves via some device that wasn't yet established is just bullshit.

If I ever see a face warping voice modulating device in a movie I walk out. It's the one thing that can destroy any movie for me and Cap 2 had it.

Now that I think on. Bucky's return was another thing that was handled terribly. As comic fans, you guys knew he was coming back. Last I saw him he fell out of a moving vehicle and down a ravine. You don't come back from that.

So to have him, mech-angel and face swap all just start to show up and solve/create problems just killed the movie for me.

You also had the problem where the stakes were hiked up to a stupid and unbelievable level. Did anyone think that the helicarriers were going to destroy all of the non-Hydra people on the planet or even one person? No.
>>
>>84808990

The continuity with Bucky still puzzle me.

Amin Zola was captured in the same mission where Bucky "died", so how the fuck Amin Zola caught Bucky's body? Dude was in jail.

>>84806261
>Ah yes, I remember the part in First Avenger where they go to the mythical island blessed by the gods
Well you should remember that part man. The movie starts out in New York.
>>
>>84809154
This is why I don't get the massive praise that this movie gets. To me it is the weakest one Marvel has put out (Thor 2 also).

I loved Cap 1 though, almost got me to start reading comics (Flash season 1 did that in the end).

I was expecting a bullshit American propaganda film but instead got what I thought was a fantastic and believable take on a propaganda piece who actually cares. I'm a sucker for movies/comics that take my preconceived notions and then turn them on their head, Aquaman is similar.
>>
>>84808990
>You also had the problem where the stakes were hiked up to a stupid and unbelievable level.

You start out taking down muggers and end with fighting though forms and physical manifestations of cosmic ideas.

And yet there was no fall out. No repercussions. At least MoS had the city get fucking destroyed. I know people complain about the destruction, but what the fuck do you expect to happen when 2 Kyrptonians start trading punches in the middle of a terraforming exercise.

Here's my question. Why are people still bitching about Flash's costume when we know Bruce gives him a better one in the movie.
>>
>>84810390
Well I think a lot of people didn't see the reports that say he has two costumes. For one thing, people still think the "war 30,000 years ago, 3 motherboxes" thing was a rumor instead of reports from set visits.

And two, this is the suit they are choosing to show off, it's all we can judge, and yes, bitch about. Not me tho I don't mind it.

This is how fucking retarded you sound saying the two sound the same.

Yes, both Captain America and Wonder Woman were in a way created as WWII propaganda figures for America, and yeah Wonder Woman uses a shield right now, and yeah both of them are on the big team of their respective universes (Justice League/Avengers). But after that the similarities end.

Next you'll be telling me that Batman is actually a ripoff of Iron Man because they're both billionaire playboys who use tech.

To be fair we didn't know that Man of Steel was going to deal with the stuff it did until the film came out.

Also, we didn't know the Batman v Superman would deal with the stuff it did until it came out too.

The quips are literally just to get manchildren "critics" back on their side so there will be some hype for this movie. Chris Terrio did say it will have a lighter tone before Batman v Superman came out, but nonetheless I'm confident it will still very much be a part of Zack Snyder's DCEU saga which I'm enjoying so far.

Also, Lex doesn't care about other people, and he thought that he could control Doomsday.

It's executive logic.

The Dark Knight films making money = darkness sells!

Green Lantern and Superman Returns bombing = no more lighthearted cape movies, it's not working for us! Start making the films more dark!

Man of Steel underperforming = we need to make it darker in the next film so that we can make money! Add Batman!

BvS underperforming and Civil War making over a billion dollaroos a month afterward = people clearly love lightheartedness more, bring in the quips!

It's like quality doesn't register to WB, just tone and hitting certain demographics.

Wasn't Zola grinning down at Bucky in the frozen gorge during his flashbacks?

>>84811856

Do you have anything to back that up?

When Scarlet Witch was first introduced in the X-Men in the 60s she wasn't shown to be as powerful as House of M or Avenger Disassembled Scarlet Witch.

She's a fucking crazy witch who makes bad decisions and doesn't appreciate the intense power she has. In the MCU she's a crazy witch who makes bad decisions and doesn't realise how powerful she is.

The only real difference is that Magneto isn't her father.

He was a Soviet (secretly HYDRA) super-assassin. Armin Zola was in charge of HYDRA.

To be honest none of the characters in MCU are as powerful as their comic counterparts. Look at GOTG. They were nerfed as fuck in that movie. Drax is supposed to be able to go toe to toe with the likes of the Hulk and even Thanos himself, but he jobbed hard to Ronan

There was tons of set-up for the save Martha scene.

Bruce looking back on his parents and their legacy.
Bruce PTSD from the Metropolis attack and losing faith in his life mission.
Bruce having nightmares and not being able to sleep.
Bruce feeling like he failed his parents and feeling empty.
Bruce constantly saving women throughout the movie. He doesn't save one dude other than Wallace Keefer, the legless dude.

Everything i mentioned served as set up for the Martha scene.

That was BvS.

Pa Kent was worried for his son's life and future, and wasn't sure about what to answer because he knew that Clark had done was the right thing to do despite the danger he placed himself and them in.

It was a very emotional scene with Pa Kent behaving like conflicted parent who doesn't have all the answers.

He was worried and angry, and thought of his son's safety first of his safety, but he also knew what his son did was right, he just didn't knew what to say.

That's EXACTLY what he told Clark:

>Clark Kent at 13: I just wanted to help.
>Jonathan Kent: I know you did, but we talked about this. Right? Right? We talked about this! You have...!
>[calms himself]
>Jonathan Kent: Clark, you have to keep this side of yourself a secret.
>Clark Kent at 13: What was I supposed to do? Just let them die?
>Jonathan Kent: Maybe; but there's more at stake here than our lives or the lives of those around us. When the world... When the world finds out what you can do, it's gonna change everything; our... our beliefs, our notions of what it means to be human... everything. You saw how Pete's mom reacted, right? She was scared, Clark.
>Clark Kent at 13: Why?
>Jonathan Kent: People are afraid of what they don't understand.
>Clark Kent at 13: Is she right? Did God do this to me? Tell me!

He clearly tells Clark not to save people because keeping his secret is more important.

Only human garbage like >>84812118 and
>>84812113 think otherwise.

It's Snyder forcing his Randroid bullshit into Superman: http://www.salon.com/2016/03/18/ayn_rands_warped_superheroes_of_course_zack_snyders_vision_of_greatness_owes_everything_to_the_fountainhead/
>>
>>84812185

See, that "Maybe..." was because Pa Kent didn't knew what to say.

What Clark could become, if given chance, would benefit the whole world, but if right then someone found out what he was and the government got wind of this? Then God knows what they'd have done to Clark and them, the Kents.

Pa Kent wanted to stress this out for his son. That if couldn't keep on doing this. There would always be people getting hurt, even dying, and Clark couldn't simple stop everything and expose himself to constantly stop it. Not at such a young age. He needed to grow up, mature, figure out his life so that he could then deal with the consequences like a grown, educated and resolved man, because the consequences for what he is and can do is enormous. Is world-changing.

Maybe... maybe this scene and the entire take shouldn't be in a Superman movie. Maybe the subject is too heavy and make Pa Kent to look somewhat bad. But then... i don't know. If we play safe just because it is Superman, then what to do then? Superman is a great vehicle for stories such as this.

>>84812343

This is shit and you are shit for writing it. Superman is a good man because he learned compassion and kindness from his parents. Pa Kent should never fucking tell Clark to "maybe" let people die.

Superman isn't a god who needs to learn to be a man, he's a man who has to learn how to handle having the power of a god. Luckily he's able to because he was raised by good people to have the moral foundation to do it.

>If we play safe just because it is Superman, then what to do then?

>>
>>84812341
You're a fucking imbecile. He's trying to tell his son to be careful because not everyone is going to be ok with what he is and what he does, which is literally what BvS is about. You're just trying to twist his words to fit your stupid meme narrative.
>>
>>84812341

>He clearly tells Clark not to save people because keeping his secret is more important.

Because he had faith that Clark would bring something good to the whole world, not just Smallville. Something that could not happen if Pete's mom rattled them out to the media or the government. The end of the movie show this.

Why do you ignore that? Pa Kent was thinking about the bigger picture.
>>
>>84812456
I don't recall Superman ever being the kind of character who lets people die when he can save them because it's "for the greater good".

>>84812483

Well, what you know, Superman also didn't let people die in MoS either, despite trying his best to remain anonymous.

So what are you complaining about?
>>
>>84812483
He didn't though. He still saved people.
>>
>>84812452
It was that shitty, stupid characterization in MoS that gave us Distant Sad Jesus Superman in BvS, a sullen god gazing down as people beg for help.

That's shit, and you're a fucking idiot for supporting it. Superman is a beacon of hope and compassion, and that starts with his family, not with his father telling him it's cool to let people die.

>Pa Kent should never fucking tell Clark to "maybe" let people die.

He was torn about it. Pa Kent was worried and angry, and very emotional when he said that. He was just a parent looking out for his son. Fathers, even good fathers, tend to put their child safety above everyone else.

But i guess having a very human and fallible Pa Kent is bad.
>>
>>84812594

>Distant Sad Jesus Superman in BvS, a sullen god gazing down as people beg for help.

That's completely wrong. Fuck, the whole point of the movie was that Superman was a man, that he bled and had loved ones that gave him strength.

>>

How are people this stupid?

We're not talking about a documentary here. The movie should not have been written such that there is that kind of forced choice. That was a bad decision of the writers, one of many, and it completely gets the character wrong, which only became worse in BvS.

You can concoct a scenario where Superman is forced to torture someone to death if you try, but the proper response to that isn't debating whether Superman acted correctly in that scenario, it's to reject the scenario in the first place.

Superman can't be conflicted whether to obey his father, prioritizing his safety and theirs, or to risk everything helping people?

Superman can't be conflicted whether to end his people and save Earth or to join them in rebuilding Krypton?
Superman can't be conflicted whether to kill or not Zod to save a family?

That's not Pa's speech was about it. It was a dad telling his UNDERAGED kid, who clearly doesn't understand how dangerous it is to openly use his powers, how important it is that he remains hidden and doesn't do stupid stunts that might kill him, or hurt other people by accident because a kid his age can't possible be adept enough to using super powers in safe ways. It's also a father being kinda scared shitless over Pete Ross' mom coming over to their house telling Clark's an angel the one time Clark was caught using his powers.

MoS was basically a sci-fi about aliens first-contact with humanity, something very common in sci-fi movies, but this time they linked the aliens with Muslim immigrants. I mean, do you honestly think that the 9/11 imagery was for nothing?

BvS was basically about the role of media in twisting the truth for the benefit of third parties. The movie constantly bashed the government and the media. Lex funding rebels pro bono in civil war in some African country for the US benefit despite the US claiming total neutrality in the conflict, the media constantly bashing Superman while ignoring Batman actions who was doing much worse just because Batman and Gotham up wasn't "news", the committee on Superman in the congress being hungry for anything that could help them nail Superman and so on. Even Batman fit into the movie larger theme with him buying the media narrative about Superman because he was blind by his own insecurities and paranoia.

It shouldn't. Superman, like Captain America, needs his foundations and underlying values to be ironclad, or else the character doesn't work. It's fine to have those values challenged, but not before they're fully formed. Otherwise, quite frankly, it's not Superman.

>>84813216

But Clark was still a good kid/man who wanted to do good and constantly risked himself for the benefit of others.

And sure, in MoS Pa Kent was a "big picture" kinda of guy who thought that Clark would help humanity in the future, but still had a lot to learn and thus needed to be safeguarded even if that meant he shouldn't involve himself when someone in Smallville was in danger, and that is certainly a new twist to his character, but i think that it's obvious that the character himself in the movie was incredible torn up on that particular issue - Clark helping others as a kid. It's not something easy for a parent to deal with.

I mean, he could've just said "Clark, next time be more careful with your powers" or something similar, he says "Maybe let em die, I dunno, just dont let them see your powers kid"

From the same great mind that thought "Scarring my kid/family for life by letting him live with the fact that he literally let me kill myself when he could have easily saved my life and giving him probable life long trauma" is a great idea. Seriously, he's only lucky Superman didn't end up seruiusly messed up. Especially with Martha "You don't oh em shit clark" Kent.

See, Pa Kent was dreading the next time. I know that we're talking about Superman, but think about this like a father. Pa Kent didn't wanted to see Clark constantly risking himself, both physically and in exposing himself, because Clark was just a kid, HIS kid. What parent would be okay with that?

There would always be something or another in Smallville, but Clark couldn't keep going around risking himself. He needed to grow and mature, then he could do that.

Do you understand it now? Try to think about this as a dad, not Superman's dad, but a normal dad.
>>

But Jonathan is not a normal dad. He IS Superman's dad. A baby that came from space and could lift a fucking truck over his head before he learned to talk.

>>84813790
>He's just really shitty at giving speeches.

Yeah, that's part of the point of the scene, Pa is out of his depth and can't really explain himself to Clark until he realizes it's time to tell Clark he's from outer space and the scene goes unto the larger point Pa is making.
>>

>But Jonathan is not a normal dad. He IS Superman's dad.

>>
>>84813923
>spergy fanboy
You're so desperate for your headcanon to be real you're going to ignore the facts to make things fit?
THE KID CAME FROM SPACE. THIS IS A FACT. THE KID HAS SUPERHUMAN ABILITIES. THIS IS A FACT.
These are things that can't be ignored just so you can have Jonathan behaving in a certain way. These are things that would be present every day of Clark's life and would have an impact on the relationship with his parents.
>>
>>84813889

Yes, but back then Jonathan didn't knew the extent of Clark's powers and even if Clark was tough enough to survive whatever dangerous thing he might put himself through in order to save a cow or something, there's also the fact that the US government might come down on them to take Clark away. Pa Kent would be powerless to stop it and so would Clark. What would happen then? Would they take him away and dissect him? Would Clark try to oppose and escalate the conflict? What about Clark's emotional health when the whole world turn the attention towards him at such a young age?

Pa Kent worried about all of this. He wasn't opposed about the future. The final scene showed that he had faith in his son's future. He just wanted to protect and safeguard his son from the world until then. Give his son time to grow and mature, so that his son could deal with the world as a man. He wanted to give Clark a chance.
>>
>>84813923
He's just a really shitty dad regardless if he's superman's or not. For any father figure to even imply that it's okay to let someone,especially children, die to just to protect a secret, is automatically a terrible father, much less a horrible human being.
>>
>>84813968

Because Clark is an alien makes Pa more protective of him. Because of what Clark can do and what his sheer existence represents, not to mention the danger Clark faces. Especially as a kid. That's Pa Kent's character in MoS. Not "oh I'm sure he'll be fine using his powers as a ten year old, he's clearly mature for his age to avoid detection like Silver Age Super-boy and not risk anybody when he's trying to help, because clearly a nine year old has the mental capacity to not make bad decisions that would endanger lives"
>>
>>84814028

Oh here we go again with people failing completely understanding what Pa's maybe meant.
>>
>>84814028
I feel the speech would be much better if the situation wasn't "A bunch of kids are going to drown in a bus." Cause it does make Pa Kents advice seem kinda..damaging, for a small child? Like, if it was something a bit smaller the impact might have been stronger.

While this is all perfectly sensible, it doesn't change the fact that he implied there was a possibility that the lives of his classmates were of lesser value than keeping himself a secret.
I have not at any point claimed that Jonathan said Clark should have let them die, mind you, but I simply can't approve of the "maybe". This is a guy who should be teaching his invincible son about right and wrong, and what he's saying is that maybe human life isn't all that important. That's the issue I'm having here. I can't accept the idea that this was the kind of advice Superman got when he was a child. Just doesn't fit.
Also: disguises.
>>
>>84814058

It's really frustrating.

>>84814093

The "Maybe..." was more directed towards the future. Pa Kent wanted Clark to think of the next time, and the next time, and the next time. He couldn't keep exposing and risking himself like that whenever something bad was about to happen, because his future was more important to humanity as whole than just that small patch of land called Smallville. He shouldn't jeopardize that future.
>>
>>84814093

Pa is meant to sound a bit awful in the scene because parents don't magically always know the right says, this is Pa under a lot of stress and fear and not being an elegant speaker because he's just a average joe farmer in hicksville Kansas whose first instinct is to think of the safety of his kid, not anybody else. His momentary fuck up makes him relatable and real. It's exactly how most parents would act.

The problem is that you think that Pa Kent wanted Clark to protect his secret forever. To place his well-being above those of humanity indefinitely. That's wrong.

Pa Kent had faith in the man Clark would become and what he'd be able to do for the world with his powers. The talk right after and final scene of the movie showed this. So what Pa Kent wanted was for Clark to grow up without worrying about that FOR NOW, so that he can grow, develop, learn and mature. Become the man the world will need someday.

Clark risking his life at such a young age could jeopardize that future and the world paying the price just so someone in Smallville can be saved was too high a price in Pa Kent's mind.
>>
>>84814058
The answer that Jonathan Kent gave, in relation to his young son's(Superman) question, as to whether or not Superman should have let a bus full of children die, Jonathan Kent replied "Maybe." That means, in no uncertain or unequivocal way, that Johnathan Kent implied that Superman should have let those children die.

>>84814143

You two have either grown around or have become accustomed to a very sick and cynical viewpoint where it's alright to justify having children die and to continuously try to change the narrative otherwise to suit your own needs is disgusting.

May God have mercy on your souls and strength to any that cross your paths.

Don't get me wrong, I can understand, Clarks IS Superman after all, he's savior of the world at one point.
But the thing is, is this the lesson you want to teach your son?
The next time a bus of children is about to crash, or maybe a situation where hundreds could die if it goes wrong.
He's telling Clark to stop and think if its worth it.
And other then the moral reasoning, sometimes there IS no time think. One second too late and all those children are dead, and Clark will have to live with that.

But I can forgive it mostly. If only they actually made it sound like an actual parent speaking and not a person whos practiced the line a hundred times. Makes it feel like he'd planned it a bit. (Honestly though thats more of a directing problem then a character one)

It sounds like The Avengers except competent. Not really interesting.
>>
>>84814227
The thing is, and this might be just me, mind you, but I just don't think there's any situation where Superman would leave someone who needed his help. There's no way I can wrap my head around the idea of him letting someone die to keep his identity a secret, or of him putting his own safety before someone else's. And that's why I feel so strange seeing him get lessons like this. Superman isn't about planning ahead for the future, he's about saving those who need him no matter what.
And I get this is probably not what everyone wants from him, but it's just the concept I have in my head when I think of him.

MoS was really good and BvS was a masterpiece. No amount of memes will undo this fact.
>>
>>84814305

But he isn't fucking Superman yet when Pa gives him the speech. That's the point, he's a goddamn kid.

The movie even shows that as an adult, blatantly, that Clark keeps drifting around America due to exposing himself whenever he's saving lives. You see it explicitly when he jumps into the sea from the fishing boat when he realizes that there was a fire on the oil rig. He didn't even give it a second thought about how he had to abandon everything, including his belongings, money, etc. as a direct consequence of going missing at sea, he just went and saved people.

The movie was average.
It has AMAZING scenes, but don't you dare tell me half of the scenes weren't just awful.
>>
>>84814230

Yeah, maybe the fault lies with the acting, but i found the scene okay.

Either way we must remember that it was a father worried about his son well-being. Yes, he's an alien and becomes Superman an all, but that's still a factor.

>>84814305

I understand you and feel the same, but that's not how Superman behaved in the movie either. Superman constantly saved people even despite knowing that this would expose him. That's how Lois got to him.

Sure, he let his father die, but that was more because it was his father telling him not to. It was an authoritative figure.

The movie show that he regretted that terribly and that the event shaped his world view negatively, because instead of eventually finding out that his father just didn't thought he wasn't mature enough yet to handle the world, he thought that it was the world that would never be ready for him in an attempt to justify his inaction back then in not saving his dad.

>he isn't fucking Superman
How will he ever grow up to be Superman if he's not raised to have the values Superman needs to have? If anything, the fact that he saves people with no regard for himself as an adult when Jonathan only ever taught him not to makes their relationship seem iffy.

He believed that Clark would help the world one day, so that's why he didn't wanted Clark risking himself at such a young age just for the people of Smallville. So this idea that Pa Kent only taught him to care about himself is bullshit.

Ehhhh.
I feel they could have done the scene alot better, as it is, it makes it just seem...I dunno.
I can't believe for a moment Clark wouldnt try and save his dad, even if his dad was telling him no, would any kid really just go "Alright, guess dad's going to have to die?"
>>
>>84814464
Which once again just doesn't fit with my idea of Superman. Ignoring people who need help to protect himself is not something he'd do, and in fact didn't ever do. If he didn't learn to put other before himself from Jonathan and Martha, where did he learn it from? Was he just being rebellious to his dead dad?
>>
>>84814488

The tornado scene was really stupid, yes. I can't defend that shit. I'll defend the "Maybe...", but not that.

I feel I could use this for either Marvel or DC really, considering both sides seem to be filled with the same type of people.
"THIS MOVIE IS TOO DARK AND GRIM, NO STORY"
"THIS MOVIE IS ALL QUIPS, NO PLOT."
Wish people could actually compare and contrast movies without being labeled as a shill for one or the other.

Don't be obtuse. Pa telling a minor to not ever do any dangerous shit does not translate to never to anything to help others. If that was the case, Clark would have never left Kansas and been a neet living in the basement.

Pa raised Clark to be aware of the fact that his existence will be revolutionary for the entire human race when it becomes public, so it was important that Clark figures out the reason why he is there, and then use that information to decide what kind of a man he will be and how to use his powers.

Pa also said that it was vital to keep that shit secret, so that Clark gets to have that choice, rather than let the world/government/other people take that choice from him, and define him as whatever they think he is, like we saw when Pete's mom tried to turn Clark into a Christian Angel.
>>
>>84814501

Look, imagine a dad teaching his son about sex but telling him that he's not old yet to try it. Understood now?

Pa Kent obviously taught Clark good values, otherwise he wouldn't place such importance in Clark's future nor would think so much about the well-being of humanity.

He just didn't thought that Clark, as a kid, was ready to go Supermanning around. This was something that he should do as an adult and not just for Smallville, but the whole world. Not as a kid around Smallville.
>>

PA OF NEGLECT!

>>84814507
This frustrates me. Its a move that has alot of really great scenes, like the one with Clark and his mom when he's starting to develop his powers.
But then we have...at least three really terrible scenes that just take alot of the impact away.

((I have to put the "Try to convince superman by drowning him in skulls" moment in at least #2, I mean, Cmon, thats cartoonishly evil.))

Wasn't that scene with the skulls inside Superman's mind? I always thought that it was Superman "mentalizing" the implications of could happen to the world in regard to what Zod was telling him at the moment.

New Gods was only ever agreed to because DC wanted to sell a new toyline. When they didn't sell, they got bumped into the main universe.

>Thanos was a knockoff

I mean, if you want to talk knockoffs, Darkseid is a knockoff of Psycho-Man, who Kirby co-created over at Marvel. He was an impressive creator, to be sure, but nobody familiar with his working practice would suggest he routinely came up with 100% new material.

Shazam is known to be a knockoff of Superman. Batman is a knockoff of the Shadow. Things change and grow into themselves - but you can't just say "oh yeah but they already did this plot with a *knockoff* so that makes it OK that we're repeating it". It's weak.

>because clearly a nine year old has the mental capacity to not make bad decisions that would endanger lives"

Although I agree about most things with Pa Kent, not having Superboy is a mistake which led to the destruction against Zod. Pa Kent prevented Superman from learning more about his powers at an early age. Plus, Clark is a super-genius who was able to read and understand Plato's Republic at that age anyway.
