At this point they should honestly just say WW gets her strength from her ****s. I mean, if you're gonna make them important, actually make them important.

cleavage distracts the opponent.

puts more blood flow down the neither region instead of in thy brain....during combat.

do you even know how hard it is to fight with a boner?

Arrrg god damnit internet sarcasm, thou art my arch nemesis!

In my own defence though, many (********) commenters around the web seem to actually do mean it.

No worries! It's difficult to read "tone" on the internet! Maybe I should've added more smilies.

I do agree with you though. The damage was "indirect" and the debates were ridiculous. I actually avoided a lot of the MoS disagreements here because no one could agree on how Superman should be. Everyone has their own idealistic image of the character and were nitpicking it to death.

@Fosing Isn't that actually part of Catwoman's tactic?

Well, I'm like, take DiFbaio for instance. He wants something very different out of these films and that's fine. Like, I can understand why he wouldn't like mos then. But to criticise something that's factually not the case is just a level of stupidity reserved for internet commentators and some politicians.

***MOST politicians...I live near DC...it's a regular occurrence here.

Your tax-payer dollars are in "safe" hands. ...if you're in the US that is.

I have my fair share if Dutch politicians ****ing up my country.

I hope Lex is mostly political in this film, instead of a sort of evil iron man.

You guys have to admit the unintentional hilarity of Superman telling people in Smallville to ''stay inside''......yes, he tells them to remain inside buildings.....in this particular film

I actually do a-dev. And at times in smallville superman is undoubtedly uneccesarily dangerous to his surroundings. BUT I genuinely believe that is intensional, because he's clearly a rookie, he's not a true hero yet, just someone who tries. i actually appreciate it to some degree because when he storms at zod for threatening his mother he really is emraged and doesn't think about his surroundings. I love it because it makes him relatable to me. If I'd been holding back for 33 years, for good reason, and then a situation like that happens, I'd go berserk as well.

There's a point in metropolis where zod throws an oil lexcorp truck at him and he dodges it looking smug at zod. Then the truck explodes behind him and he realises, ****, that could've hurt someone. And he actually keeps looking at it and then zod catches him off guard. I genuinely like that explicit level of being a newbie as it'll be great to see him better himself in coming films. Same thing saves the soldier in smallville, he immediately pays for letting his guard down.

He's very intentionally flawed and not truly superman yet and I love that. I can't wait to see him take on that challange of becoming the perfect superhero. It resonated with me, how flawed he is in man of steel, and the filmmakers have repeated multiple times that it was intensional. I just like that human approach to him. It's a first-day newbie story. Had never seen the character like that and I instantly loved the vulnarability in him as a person, with issues, with character flaws.

Now I can't wait to see him shed all of that and it's brilliant to me to bring in Batman to help along.

The tonal problem of everythingafter he kills zod, that's my only real issue with the film. That was a massive ball drop on snyder's part by not acknowledging the bitter victory of a half dstroyed city.

Re: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

Well, they've surely heard the criticisms of MOS loud and clear, here's hoping you're right and this stuff will be addressed. If it is, who knows, maybe it could redeem MOS for some of us who presently don't like it.

Re: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

Did Superman always fly out of Metropolis to some remote desert in the comics and cartoons?

It is actually makes no sense to defend a movie which tried to stay as far from comics and cartoons as possible by pointing similarities between them.

That's why I call it hopeman, because there is nothing super about this guy

I completely agree. I also had a problem with the Clark and Lois chemistry. Great post!

It's better to say that's were she gets her shape. Just like Superman isn't built like Erkel though it doesn't exactly account for his strength level. Aesthetics folks.

I'm sorry but sometimes I get the feeling some people didn't even watch the film. The world engine destroyed metropolis, not superman. He crashed through a few buildings while fighting zod and also not exactly voluntarily. Seriously, it's factually wrong that superman leveled the city. It's becoming a bit ******** honestly.

A lot of mockery of man of steel I get, but to base it on something that's literally, factually not true is just dumb. And I mean it IS dumb, this is not a matter of opinion. You can critique superman for not preventing destruction, but he wasn't the direct cause of it. That's just factually not the case. (He was in smallville though, but not in metropolis.)

Superman's responsible for metropolis' destruction as much as the Avengers were for new york (except that space whales didn't destroy as much as the world engine did. However Superman was also on the other side of the planet). You're biased if you think otherwise. You can factually put all the scenes next to each other. It's the same deal: COLLATERAL DAMAGE.

So glad you said this. I've been baffled as to why so many people say "Superman killed thousands" ever since I saw the movie. How was the destruction any different than any other movie that has ever existed? Bad guy comes, people die, destruction ensues...Superman killed one person, and that was Zod. Which, uhh, kinda saved the whole world.

All Supes did was react, he didn't manage the fight at all save for taking out the obvious target in the sky. For someone who has none of the limitations of the Avengers and a jumpstart on his nemesis, he failed to impress... especially considering some of the standards he set in Superman 2. You should hate MOS for trashing the character and the city in exchange for ashy CGI action scenes. They wanted to show off Kryptonian power but it backfired.

Yeah, that would have been an improvement. But FOS was a brilliant move in Superman 2.

Remember they not only introduced the Fortress of Solitude but had it served as a far more interesting setting for a fight between Zod and Kal.

Again I missed it! I'm guessing Larja?
