Superman being rebooted with JJ Abrams

[Smokes]

Yeah...the Western World.

"Genocide...what the hell is a genocide? In 'Africa'? Did you just make that up? What the hell is an 'Africa'? Oh' shit, some kid fell into a river in Arkansas. Be right back!"

He helps them when he is can.

Western racists.

Not one of those things happened. He even admitted he was shit talking.

He exaggerated to make the valid point that modern Hollywood is infected with an art-destroying progressive agenda that infects all they do to one degree or another.

Ugh... they'll fuck it up somehow. I didn't like Man of Steel at all, either.

Abrams is a good choice for Superman. The tone of JJ's movies are much more in line with the optimism and wonder of superman than Snyder's style, where he's so dark and dreary that he can't even give us the color red--more like a dirty brown.

I agree with this, but I still have no faith in this project. Style wise, he's probably a better fit, but content wise it's already hard to make a compelling Superman flick because of this...

I always disliked Superman b/c he seemed to powerful. I mean his only weaknesses are Lois Lane and kryptonite. And if something bad happens he just spins the world backwards and reverses time or something. That's why Batman has always been my favorite superhero.

And even Kryptonite often gets played off more like a nuisance than what it used to do. I mean in the Justice League movie, Superman uses a kryptonite spear to attack Doomsday. While it used to be that Superman could barely stand up straight if he was even near it, especially such a big amount of it.

It doesn’t make sense at all since JJ has never done anything like that. That’s not an exaggeration. It’s just shit talking.

They should make a Zatana movie, IMO. You have a female, so hopefully that's woke enough. Though she is white, so it'll be hard for them to not want to fuck with that. But style wise you could make it look absolutely beautiful, especially if you have actually, really creative people working on it.

 

[Kforcer]

Lol, whatever they do it'll tank in the box office.

People have had enough of Superman now, they need to let it go.

People love Superman. He's still a beloved character. Hollywood is just screwing it up, they try to reinvent or deconstruct him each time out, instead of just giving people the character they love.

I don't get it. Am I nerdy Batman trying to smear Superman?

 

[Morning Star]

Fuck JJ. The guy already fucked up Star Wars. I have no interest in a Superman without Henry Cavill. I liked Man of Steel a lot. The guy is perfect as Superman, they should have just made a sequel instead of the shared universe trash. If they were going to do that then they should have at least got Bale on board as Batman and planned it out better.

 

[7even]

So are they going to respect the source material and make the movie about Calvin Ellis from Earth 23?

 

[moreorless87]

JJ is a damn hack, we're going to get some garbage like Superman Returns because Abrams is only capable of playing on peoples' nostalgia. .

Superman Returns did at least atempt to build up its characters/plot a bit more slowly, I doubt we'll get that from Abrams.

You look at his career choices and its always the same isnt it? he goes for a franchise with strong nostalgia potential thats at a low point with low expectations.

The guy is the kiss of death. Things look kind of promising for one movie and then he leaves the franchise crippled for a decade.

That really plays into what Is aid doesnt it? he catches a franchise at a low ebb, plays on nostalgia which works for one film then people quickly turn against it when expectations rise and he's Bay like style can't meet them.

I think people need to go back and watch Trek 08 and espeically Force Awakens, there not good films.

 

[GearSolidMetal]

Like this post if you've never met or even heard of a black guy with the first name 'Clark' or the last name 'Kent.'

So 'Clark Robertson' or 'Shaquille Kent' count.

 

[Law Talkin’ Guy]

As long as we get General Zod, Jaws from James Bond, and this cute lesbian it will be awesome.

That’s not Richard Kiel on the left.

 

[Rygu]

Nah. It'll be black Superman with a white "male-to-female reassigned" tranny Lois Lane. And then we'll find out about the massive and widespread "oppression" and "racism" on Krypton and that's why Kal-El had to escape. His parents sent him away to save him from being racismed against, and to have him spread "inclusion" and "tolerance" throughout the universe.

Yeah but is there a call for diversity involved, there damn well better be.

Yeah I found TFA somewhat rewarding at the time. You would have to pay me to watch that movie again now.

I figure JJ will just jump from franchise to franchise like a vampire, sucking it all dry until either all of the properties are dead or enough people catch on to his shtick.

I guess the good news is stuff like The Terminator and Predator and Ghostbusters is already ruined.

All big giant white guys look the same to me

Superman is such a boring character
