Thread 214343123

This was unbelievably fucking bad. This movie literally doesn't have a script and even for capeshit standards it is awful.

I couldn't believe the film could get any more stupid than the Superman clone created collecting Superman hairs. Then Lex Luthor claimed how the pointless, forced Ukraine war subplot was just an excuse to use NOT! Putin to turn the US government itself against Superman for meddling with foreign politics.

This quite literally doesn't matter, as, conveniently for Luthor, apparently Superman real parents want him to dominate Earth, and that's all it actually takes to have people turn on him. And yet Luthorcorps is allowed to have a potentially hostile metahuman alien under custody with 0 supervision from the government itself.

Man of Steel was so much better. Fuck even Batman v Superman first half before it gets stupid and ruins its much better rendition of the "humans fear Superman" trope is far better

It says a lot that a movie about hope, optimism, and being kind broke the brains of thirdies lmao

I just wrote this, schizo

This board has been nothing but Superman threads for six fucking months. Fucking end yourselves the whole lot of you

Why would you write it first? You'd think you'd just type it.
Sounds like you're a bit obsessed bud.

>>214343250
I agree, way too many Superman (2025) threads.
We need more Man of Tomorrow (2027) threads.

What does that even mean?

It has a classic three act structure and it makes sure everything is set up and paid off.

>>214343300
Fuck off I want Supergirl threads

Actually, agreed.
Sprinkle in some Lanterns posting while we're at it.

There's a group of faggots on this board such as >>214343199 that will stop at nothing to defend this film if it means owning synderfanboys, it's genuinely pathetic

>>214343374
BECAUSE IT'S SO MUCH FUN, JAN!!

This is now a Kara thread

>>214343193
It doesn't, sadly. OP is correct. The whole movie is a bunch of disjointed poorly made subplots things that Gunn tried to piece together
>Daily Planet investigation? Nah, let's make Lex Luthor's idiotic bitch that conveniently is in love with some dude there snitch on him.
>We need a random Kaiju fight, what if Lex Luthor had one
>What if we had a war and Lex Luthor is randomly behind that as well

I hated her so much in HotD and in that one scene I immediately came around to her.
Actually including it organically in the movie instead of a post credit scene was nice as well.

Well there's your first mistake.

>>214343123 (OP)
My main problem with it was that even with all his planning, Lex didn't account for the intervention of the friends Superman made along the way. Nor did his security alert him to Fantastic's raid on his pocket dimension camp.

>>214343507
How does he even do it?

>>214343374
You Snyder faggots are the ones spamming the board with nothing but seething Gunn and Superman threads for months. Fuck off back to India

>>214343123 (OP)
I'll never have an opinion on this movie. I like Superman, Ill never let them erode him like this. Same with Boys and whatever other anti-white man Superidiot slop they make.

>>214343436
I don't even know what you jeets are complaining about. Are you seriously upset that the villain was behind all of the bad shit that happened?

>>214343474
>It's okay that this subplot is entirely out of place and random and that Lois and the Daily Planet get at least half an hour total of screentime to simply ask some chick for a few pictures
>It's another episode of Lex Luthor throwing random shit from Ultraman to giant monsters just for Superman to fix it and save people even though he should be trying to make him look bad not an hero
>Planned for every countermoves to defeat superman and gave all conventional weapons to Boravia but can't be bothered for his Raptors corps to try and fight the Justice Gang and protect Putin
The movie was just dumb and poorly written anon. There's smart and dumb ways to write what you listed, and this movie fucking sucked

>>214343559
He didn't even give metahumans to Boravia, not even after Superman had already stopped the invasion

Samefag.

>Superman real parents want him to dominate Earth, and that's all it actually takes to have people turn on him

Uhh...yeah, fucking duh? That is a solid reason right there.

People that hate this movie just don’t like Superman and have never read a Superman comic outside Injusitce. Basically complaints i’m seeing is it was just too much of a Superman movie and should’ve been more like a Batman movie aka Snyder garbage

>>214343621
>Ill never let them erode the character that was eroded decades before I was born

>>214343716
How can anyone defend this flick with this shot alone.

>>214343753
It works in context, although I'll concede the sound effect was unnecessary.

>>214343753
Totally not like the comics she came from. Will you retards just fuck off already

>>214343742
>People that hate this movie just don’t like Superman and have never read a Superman comic outside Injusitce.
It's nothing like the comics. Making Superman's parents evil is such an egregious change, they skip over any secret identity drama, "Clark Kent" is only in the movie for 5 minutes, it's got a random grab bag of characters who have nothing to do with Superman, the movie ends with him essentially disowning Krypton. Gunn is clearly embarrassed by Superman.

>>214343813
Don't know where this is from, but saved.

>>214343837
The Kents aren't evil in the film.

>>214343837
You don’t know shit about Superman. All you know is form the movies. Jor El. and his parents never been definitive characters and been different versions. Whole Joe El being God like character is Donnee interpretation. Gunn’s is very much similar to Brynes Vulcan like Kryptonians

>>214343716
>Uhh...yeah, fucking duh? That is a solid reason right there.
Maybe, but that renders pointless all of Luthor scheming, his 4chan monkeys that upset him by calling him names on Twitter and all his chicanery.

There's a retarded circular logic around Luthor actions and how they drive the plot. He claims he caused Boravia to disparage Superman, but then uses the Hammer of Boravia for specific terrorist attacks which would only drive anti-Boravian sentiment, besides giving Superman the role of protector of the US.

The US government doesn't care that a so-called Hammer of Boravia is devastating the US and the alliance with Boravia is never questioned, but proceeds to go apeshit over superdaddy and supermommy message.

A genius like Lex Luthor has a near perfect clone of someone he wants to defame yet never thinks of giving him a blue and red suit and have him go apeshit. Instead he is too busy having monkeys write mean posts (because this movie isn't about Superman, it's about how James Gunn feels about hecking war and mean toxic twitter posts and bots)

Also Hawk girl was cringe as fuck

>>214343894
i actually read one guy's argument about how Kents are evil because they act like stereotypical Trump voters

>>214343856
Manabu Yashiro has been doing fanart of the film ever since he saw it

>>214343123 (OP)
This is pure Gunn, and I hate it because it perfectly represents the final blow of post-modernity. Everything has to be a comedy now. Being serious or earnest about anything is cringe, specially if it's related to morality tales for children. Trying to make art is cringe. Beauty is cringe.

>>214343894
You know what I meant, Superman affirming his humanity in that very on the nose speech and ignoring Krypton was a terrible story choice.
>>214343916
>You don’t know shit about Superman. All you know is form the movies.
>John Byrne
Lmao, Byrne sucks but even he knew better than to make the Els outright evil. Try read some actual Silver or Bronze Age Superman and get back to me.

good morning saars

No

>>214344006
Jor-El was inconsistent in Smallville, they just wanted to keep the audience guessing, in the end he's good.

>>214343979
>Speaks Russian
>Thrown from the Kremlin
No, he was clearly Putin.
Jewwood would never imply Israel is bad in any way, but it is funny how the movie was so tone deaf that it ended up representing Israel and Gaza/Jordan with tanks firing on kids and pissraeli felt called out because they are aware they are scum.

>>214343123 (OP)
For me, it was that jarhunpar or whatever the fuck, that being an obvious israel/palastine allegory, that completely turned me off.
Fuck off with that obvious political shit for fucks sake.

>>214344056
We’re going to know more about Krypton in Supergirl because she’s going to have flash backs with her PTSD. Gunn says there message is real but he isn’t going to spoil shit either. With Brainiac involved everything is up in the air

>>214344084
The intention seemed to be Gunn mashing together the Russian invasion of Ukraine with Bush era Iraq/Afghanistan (they invaded Jarhanpur for the oil), 2010 is the time Gunn's tastes became completely fossilized. His sense of humor, taste in music, and political insight feels about 15 years out of date. The guy is such relic from that AICN era of nerd culture.

>>214344084
Guess what the second most spoken language is in Israel? Russian. Guess who second biggest population is in Israel? Russians. Most “true” Israel’s are Russians and why they won’t do DNA tests

>pissraeli felt called out

Nah

>>214344177
>AICN

What does that stand for?

Superman 2025 is one of the worst superhero movies of all times. James Gunn, who excels in directing overdone violence, out of place quips, undeserved melodrama and perverted sex obsession brings all his trademark traits to this rendition of Superman. This isn't a Superman movie, it's a Marvel/Guardians of Galaxy movie with Superman in the middle of it. In fact, Gunn seems to enjoy writing Justice Gang far more than he does writing Superman. The former which ran off two jokes that were repeated ad nauseam throughout the movie.

What makes Superman a compelling character is gone in Gunn's sloppy adaption. He's not particularly strong, he's not particularly wise, he's a poor leader, he's extremely narcissist and gets easily emotional. And this is supposed to be a seasoned Superman. It's almost like Gunn was projecting his own shitty flawed character on to Superman. The only missing touch would be if Lois was a minor.

The action scenes are just a complete mess of CG blob. Superman is basically a rag doll that gets thrown all over the place and nothing in this movie has weight or meaning to it, particularly in its action. There's a scene where Lois and Mr Terrific break into enemy HQ and the whole ordeal is of course settled with a very catchy music montage of all the enemies being dismantled with utter ease. The next scene is of Clark trying to keep a CGI baby from drowning in lava with his deus ex dog arriving in timely manner to save him again. This is straight out of a Marvel movie and has no place in a Superman movie.

This rendition of Lex is also his most shallow depiction. There is no nuance or intelligence to this Lex. He's not particularly shrewd and constantly spills out his plans for everyone to find out. He throws into temper tantrums just like Superman and starts to sob and cry because Superman is better than him. Where is the elegance and intelligence of Luthor? This is basically a spoiled rich kid battling another spoiled strong kid. 1/10, MCU slop.

>>214344128
>We’re going to know more about Krypton in Supergirl
It's weird in the movie that Superman already knows Supergirl but is apparently ignorant of anything about Krypton. Didn't he ask her?
>Gunn says there message is real but he isn’t going to spoil shit either.
Even if it turns out to be fake it doesn't fix the first movie.

Doesn't stop it from looking cringe and retarded in the movie , comic source material is not infallible

>>214343813
Why are you citing art clearly inspired by the movie?

>>214344360
Because I liked it. Oh, you don’t think she looks ridiculous in the comics?

And if you know James Gunn since guardians of the galaxy you will see the same repetitive characters talking about playlist of musics, the same daddy issues for every James gun character, the same gimmick of using pets to sell merchandise, the same rocky balboa motivational or lecturing speech, the same scenes like the arrow of yundu or the electronic balls of Mr Terrific, now make it worse than Superman who is James Gunn doing Peacemaker trying to make it become a The Boys with John Cena but with James Gunn inserting all his sexual inadequacies and fetish and recommending Peacemaker for kids, the same James Gunn who was fired from Marvel because of pedophile jokes about kids.

Maybe Gunn should’ve done Jl cartoon version which looks less silly

>>214343742
Wrong I love STAS cartoon and have enjoyed superman before. Not even a big man of steel fan but this was worse

>>214343123 (OP)
> literally doesn't have a script
i have theory that even they recognized the script was dogshit, so they added the retarded Jarhanpur sideplot to get the woke retards to support the film

>>214344424
My problem isn't the costume, the comic one is better than the movie because it's not a generic Justice Gang outfit. That shot sucks because it's this ugly wide angle close up directly into her open mouth.
