Re: Man of Steel
[quote name="MMysterio"][quote name="fabio"]Whose bright idea was it to take the narrative structure of <i>Watchmen</i> and instead of flashbacks to an interesting alternate U.S. history, we get a non-linear retelling of the same damn Superman origin story we've known by heart for 80 years?[/quote] The guy who directed Watchmen? [quote]Better devote a full hour to that shit, and replace his foster father dying of old age with a save the cat moment.[/quote] To be fair, Costner needed a pretty huge cat rescue to make up for that "Maybe..." line. [quote]We're going to include a "superhero first learns to use his powers" segment, but only for 30 seconds. Need to make room for more scenes of vagabond Clark Kent moping around like Bruce Banner on the Hulk TV show.[/quote] Superheroes aren't supposed to be fun, they're supposed to be a dark reflection of the failings of modern society! I don't understand why people say Batman is interesting and Superman is boring. Batman has every single power Superman does, he just invents a bat-shaped device to do it.[/quote]
