>>149531517 (OP)I agree, Superman felt soulless and vapid in a way. I
t's shocking to see it get so much praise, but then again DC fans have been starving so slop to them is like a 5 star michelin meal
I enjoyed how serious F4 took itself, Superman's stakes never really felt real, even when Superman is getting beat or going to die I never felt any real worry.
I appreciate F4 having massive stakes, the coming of Galactus, and Silver Surfer were done pretty well.
This film felt more like a film than Superman, which felt more like a commercial for the upcoming DCU, but in all fairness Superman needs to establish a universe, but then again so did the first Ironman and that film never felt like a commercial for the MCU
I guess what I am trying to say is F4 felt like a much more complete and realized film and world than Superman did.
