Man of Steel (SPOILERS)

Celtic just has to lay off the homophonics.

Is that like a gay version of hooked on phonics?

Is that like a gay version of hooked on phonics?

In short:

Homophonics is a method for teaching reading and writing the English language by developing learners' homophonemic awareness—the ability to hear, identify, and manipulate homophonemes—in order to teach the correspondence between these sounds and the spelling patterns that represent them.

It is my hope that one day we will all be able to understand one another. Celtic has made many advancements in this field and while I applaud his efforts, I fear his postings might be construed as too geigh.

^ what's with the stupid dinosaur lmao.

 

[Frank]

That's Sweet Pickles the Iguana. I believe it's part of the "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" children's book.

Oh, dear; this thread...I thought that Superman was supposed to bring out the best in people?

He's not that Superman anymore, remember?

 

[DGTWoodward]

He's not that Superman anymore, remember?

Which by definition, means that it is not really Superman anymore. He is...Bulletproofflyingspacealienwithincrediblestrengthbutwiththatisalsomostofthetimearatherangryman!!

I thought he looked familiar! When they have finished with him, they should try making some actual Superman films. It's OK to call this new character that...that emblem is not an 'S', remember?

 

[Frank]

Stop trying to un-derail this thread guys!

It doesn't mean he can't be. Sometimes, experience is the best teacher.

 

[thenammagazine]

It doesn't mean he can't be.

Then that completely negates the Smallville upbringing and we're back to square 1.

 

[DGTWoodward]

But films starring Bulletproofflyingspacealienwithincrediblestrengthbutwiththatisalsomostofthetimearatherangryman could be really cool! I hear that in the sequel he will be co-starring with HorsefacedmanthatwillbedressedinblackfoamlatexthatlookskindofbatlikeandthathasanincrediblechinthastevenBruceTHECHINCampbellwouldbejealousofandwhowassototalywrongforDareDevilbutstillmanagedtogetthegigandisnowprayingthatwithhisloveofcomicshewillgettodirectthesecondsequeltoBulletproofflyingspacealienwithincrediblestregthbutwiththatisalsomostofthetimearatherangryman.

Well, who the hell is that guy? We don't need these interlopers in this thread!

All I see is a union buster!

Still don't see the logic in that.

 

[thenammagazine]

Still don't see the logic in that.

The whole point of the stereotypical Smallville upbringing is to build out Kal-El as Clark and instill that "more human than human" character trait into Superman before he even sets foot in Metropolis. To say "he can be" is essentially saying "he isn't that person yet," which completely negates the necessity of having him grow up in "Smallville." If you still can't see the logic in it, I'd suggest picking up some 4-color books to bury your nose in and get acquainted with the character.

 

[GasparZizou]

It's not that I don't "get it", I get it, but I reject it.

The values are there, the experience isn't.

It negates nothing, if you don't see that in the movie, well, you can borrow my 4-color books.

 

[thenammagazine]

It's not that I don't "get it", I get it, but I reject it.

And therein lies the flawed logic.

 

[CelticPredator]

The experience thing is BS.

Batman was Batman in Begins for like....a week, tops, and yet he went around saving people, and didn't kill anyone.

Sorta.

 

[GasparZizou]

And therein lies the flawed logic.

Not really.

The experience thing is BS.

Batman was Batman in Begins for like....a week, tops, and yet he went around saving people, and didn't kill anyone.

Sorta.

Is not bs, it's valid.

In BB Bruce trained for like decades before becoming Batman, besides, there's no comparison with Batman's enemies, at all.

Even though, Superman saved people too.
