Man of Steel (SPOILERS)

[jye4ever]

Is that the kid from T2.

It's the kid from Blade 2. Oh snap!

 

[jye4ever]

It's the kid from Blade 2. Oh snap!

Holy crap, that is him isn't it.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

OMG he's the smart *** guy who turns on Blade. How did i not see that before

 

[GasparZizou]

Huh, from what movie.

That scene where the big dude Non breaks a guard's neck and he goes "Alert Alert", it's just a silly looking scene.

Edit: Oh sorry, in Superman II

At least his name is cool.

Go ahead, say Non backwards.

 

[Dr.Mirakle32]

Any reason why they didn't call Nam-Ek Non in this film? He's a massive, mute Kryptonian, and the third most prominent in the action scenes after Zod and Faora. In fact, I just assumed he was Non until I read some behind the scenes stuff.

I get Farora not being called Ursa, since Faora was the prominent Phantom Zone villain who inspired Ursa in the first place. But for all intents and purposes, she fills the same the role. The fact that Nam-Ek is prominently paired up with Faora to level a small, middle American town was no mistake on Snyder's part.

General Zod and his short-haired main ***** are already the villains, so why not commit to it and call Nam-Ek "Non"?

Because Nolan said no.

 

[Dr.Mirakle32]

I don't doubt that, but was that mentioned somewhere?

I have no idea, I think maybe cause Nam-ek was an actual comic book character, and Non only was after S2, I have no issue with it but Non does sound cooler.

No. I was just joking because apparently it was Nolan who said no to the Williams theme being used again.

As a Mexican I can tell you I don't know who the hell came up with the whole crispy tortilla thing it wasn't us that's for sure

It was Glen Bell, the founder of Taco Bell, who made them popular. He started the chain in Southern California, inspired by the fast food of McDonald's, which was founded around the same time.

Bell, in search of the taco version of the McDonald's hamburger, invented the preformed taco shell. It was so popular, Tex-Mex restaurants began frying their own taco shells, clipping tortillas to a bent coffee can and frying them in oil. And from there, the crispy yellow shell swept the nation.

I looked up the comic Nam-Ek after reading his name and he's got almost nothing to do with the MOS character. Technically Non was introduced in the modern comics during Richard Donner's LAST SON arc, which seemed to have some influence on the film.

The more you know

Well I actually never tried the crispy tortilla, so I don't know if it's good.

Nam-Ek did become huge after an experiment of I don't know what, but what can I tell you, if they can turn Jimmy into Jenny, I don't care if they borrow Nam-Ek's name for another character.

Apparently he experimented on himself using a Kryptonian animal's horn that was forbidden to be removed from the animal. That just sounds dirty...

 

[Ramatuelle]

You'll lose serious cinema nerd points if you're gonna claim MOS is "the same level of bad" as PROMETHEUS.

Both have their flaws, but the latter is already infamous in that regard, and is handicapped by a script that is as dumb as they come. The only huge movie this Summer that's comparable is STID.

Holy crap, is STID really that bad?!!

I was planning on renting that later, maybe but I keep hearing really bad stuff about it....
