It is time to get back into my superhero nerd bag.
As you all know, I prefer superhero content over all other forms of content because of the way it adds to the escapism content as far as the real world.
And of course, the fictional worlds that these heroes are placed in, I love seeing the convoluted ways they end up getting themselves outside of or out of.
Now when it comes to Superman, I'm not going to lie to you.
O.P. superhero or O.P. villains have never been my favorite.
I love when a hero or villain is maybe dominant, but not O.P.
Superman is one of the most O.P. fictional creations, if not the most O.P. fictional creation of all time.
So with that being said, the reason why I'm saying all that is because
Superman is out now as far as in movie theaters and of course I usually and I usually I cover the entire
music and gaming industry so I always have that as far as my preference as far as what this whole
notorious massive fake is made of but of course when it comes to Superman and my love for superheroes
I do want to get into this movie as I've seen it I enjoyed it and to give an overview
I think from a commercial standpoint, this movie is not adding up to what Zach Snyder did as far as having Henry Cavill, right?
And Man of Steel, because when you think about it objectively, this particular movie is estimated to gross $115 to $135 million.
Now, when it comes to that number,
Man of Steel, back in 2013,
grossed around $128 million as far as its opening weekend.
But when ingested for inflation, as far as in 2025,
it's set to be $174.5 million.
So it's safe to say,
I think the problem with Superman is not the overall quality of the film.
it's the grandiose blockbuster type of appeal that's lacking, especially from people not wanting to go to the movie theaters generally.
So I think it faces an interesting problem because I enjoy the film.
I think the film is phenomenal, but on the box office side, I don't know how much DC loves to see certain metrics not be at what Superman usually does as far as what they did with Man and
still in 2013 because i'm not even talking about badman v superman because it's not even going to come
close to that uh batman v superman surpassed 166 million back in 2013 as far as opening weekend
so with that being stated you're not going to have numbers like that until you have team up
uh movie from superman and batman now i want to talk about objective metrics because that's why i do
all the time in music and gaming but the main thing i want to get into is my personal preference and
what I liked about the film.
So that's why I brought it up at the beginning, because now we're just going to get into
my overall review.
So if you don't know, Superman was directed by James Gunn, who also directed Guardians of the
galaxy and some will argue has some of the most important plot points to handle with
Guardians of the Galaxy because you see how Thanos came in and completely made Infinity
War and endgame one of the greatest events in MCU history as far as movies being
considered the background of thanos and the guardians of the galaxy's relationship was really the backbone
of that mcc you working because of course gomorra rocket and um nebula had a lot to do with thanos as far as
as in the background because we're not rocket but um nebula and gomera had a lot to do with thanos
because they were they were his daughters and ultimately they had a lot of credence in more
substance heavy content with thanos and the backdrop of a overall blockbuster movies so i think the
foundation is very um consistent from uh from james gun as far as being able to lay it and then build upon
it so when people are judging superman because of course this is my my own personal review
and like i already said multiple times i enjoyed the film and i'm again to specifically in a second
But as far as other people critiquing the film harshly, I do believe when it comes to the first one,
it may be a hot take.
I believe what James Gunn doing is the same thing that Kevin Feigy was doing with Iron Man One.
People are going to look back at Iron Man One and be like, man, Superman was one of the starting blocks for something great in the DCU.
But right now, people are just killing it.
And real Marvel fans know, back when Iron Man One came out,
it was like you know what mcc you has something cooking but nobody even had an inclination of
avengers type quality they was just thinking that iron man was a solid movie they finally got one
right it wasn't abysmal that's what we were saying now Avengers happened infinity war happened
in game happen we look back at iron man like man i wish mcc would get back to that level of quality
i think that's what we're at with dc u they essentially have the iron man one
Some will say it was Batman, but we don't even know if the Batman is in this universe.
So technically, Superman has kicked off the whole Justice League in James Gunn's DCU.
Because if the creative director of the Robert Pattinson's Batman does not want to make the crossover as far as the world's finest and put it out as far as the movie because he feels like creatively, Batman's in his own world, which I don't know why in the world, he would think that.
He must have not read comic books back in the day, but he wants to put Batman solely in his world and not have any other superheroes and not have him collaborate with any other superheroes.
So as far as that, that's going to be interesting as far as moving forward and getting him to understand like, hey, we're trying to hit these metrics on the blockbuster side and the quality side.
We're going to need Batman at some point.
And if they have two Batman's as far as the rumor right now, if there's two different Batman's where there's one in the DCU with Super Bowl,
man and is one with just Robert Pattinson, I think that would be a huge discredit unless,
unless, unless they're going to do an injustice like storyline. Now, hear me out. If Batman,
if Robert Patton's Batman is already solidified, right? You already have a proof of concept
as far as Robert Patton's Batman being phenomenal. If you're going to roll the dice again
and it ends up working, when now you have two badmands you have to juggle. How many
many popular storylines have two badmen in it i mean come on it's not that many right so i think
it's right there as far as ultimately having that injustice like storyline but the multiverse
thing will get played out because of an mc u already ruining that whole perception of people looking
at multiverses and thinking as absolute garbage right in multiple versions but um technically they
already have multiple versions they have one that's robert patinson and they have one his own own
universe so i'm just talking about crossover appeal and things in that nature but now let me just dive
specifically into the film and what i liked about it so usually because i'm no i'm no movie a tv
show reviewer i just go off the cast and basically give my thoughts of the movie while i'm going
over who was who was who in the movie so as far as going through the list obviously there's a lot
people in here but um the main thing i want to get at let me see so
who do i want to start with so i'm going on the list right now so we have mr terrific i should
probably start with him right so mr terrific or should i just we're just going to go through the list
let me see um let me see i'm trying to go in order i don't want to skip around come i miss somebody
mr handsome that was that was weird that whole part where he was just pushing the ship with
alex luther like it made sense but it was like a bad weird it was just a weird weird like it was
just like bro what is this alien doing i thought i thought i thought superman hopped into the horror
genre for a second when he first came into the boom tube you know and um also i should have said at the
beginning um this is a spoiler review at first i was going to say spoiler free but now that i just said
that this is just going to be a spoiler review and i'm gonna put in the title so nobody can't be like
why you spoil in the movie you know so anyways you had your warning out of the way all right now let me
get into the characters so when it comes to
Um, the ugly alien that was literally nickname Mr. Hansom Alex Luther.
I do believe, um, it served his purpose.
It really didn't do too much in the movie.
So I mean, it was just literally to get Lex Luther in the plot from one place to another.
So getting into, let me see, getting into hot girl.
Um, starting with these characters is kind of tough.
But anyway, I'm trying to go in order because obviously we're going to lead up into Superman.
a hot girl i believe that she served her purpose but at the end of day she wasn't that important
to the film honestly mr terrific now this was the opposite of hot girl he was really important
to the point where you could say at a certain part of the movie he ended up he ended up becoming
superman sidekick because if we realize in the plot he was the only one that wanted to help out
lois lane the others didn't come to later right mr terrific if he wasn't helping out lois with
getting Superman back who knows what would have what would have happened right because obviously
Superman broke free but how is he's going to how is he going to be able to get out of that dimension right
because like sluithy was going to keep him there and essentially tried to kill him because uh that was one of
the plot holes in the movie that i just thought was obvious like if you wanted to kill Superman
i mean i guess because he turned himself in and now he's in your custody like if superman ends up missing
they're going to be like look at you but at the end of day are you not the one that was wanting to kill
Superman like I'm pretty sure you could have maneuvered his way out of that but anyways the main reason
I say that's because you if you had Ultraman with you and then you had to do who created Kryptonite
and you had that guy's baby or kid so he had to do whatever you said you got to have him do the
kryptonite and then Ultraman takes care of him and the end of the story but you know that's what
you know I guess that's why plot holes exist and plot armor so um getting into that mr
terrific was phenomenal I think he had one of the better action scenes as far as when he
was taking Lois Lane to rescue Superman.
So I think that's one of the better parts of the film.
Ultimately, I think his character stood out the most
as far as the other heroes in the movie.
So now we're going to transition into,
and then we have Lois Lane.
So as far as Lois Lane, is this in alphabetical order?
I was trying to see Top Billing, honestly.
Usually I try to go about Top Billing,
because that's really what the big bucks are for, you know?
So they paid a big book.
bucks not not to use them uh they they pay them the big bucks to use them more in the film obviously
but anyways uh so we have mr terrific uh and then we had lowest lane so as far as lowest lane
i'm not the biggest superman fan i do like the lowest lane dynamic i think that makes him as human
as you could get as far as superman having like regular emotions of hey i want to go out with this
significant other you know what i mean i want to go out and tell i love her like stuff like
I think it makes Superman more human.
So I think that's one of the best parts of the movie is the dynamic between Lois Lane and Superman.
I think that may be the foundation.
Kind of how Tony and Pepper Potts were, I would say it's even better than that.
As far as Lois Lane having more to do as far as her character being a complete opposite of Superman's,
as far as having that interesting appeal of the world,
meanwhile Superman's is very boring it's black and white it's good and it's bad the lowest lane
there's good that's bad and there's all type of worse better in the middle you know it's it's a lot more
nuanced with lois lane the way in her outlook on the world so i thought her dynamic with
superman was the best and then getting into jimmy olson i think he helped for the plot but ultimately
it didn't nothing really um impressed me
me as far as his performance.
I think the main thing was the plot twist of him getting info from Lex Luthor's girlfriend.
I thought that was pretty cool.
But ultimately, it didn't move me too much.
Like, it just basically was to move the plot for it.
Like, oh, Jimmy Osson's bagging all the women.
Like, okay.
Yeah, in other news.
So, Lex Luthor, I would say when it comes to Lex Luthor,
and I think this is more of a writing thing than Lex Luthor,
because I think the performance was the best Lex Luthor.
Luther I've seen in my lifetime.
So as far as the writing,
Lex Luthor having a suit is like commonly known, I believe.
So for the past Superman, for the past two to three like Superman films,
Lex Luthor not suiting up is very weird.
And I think giving him a suit that had Ultraman-like powers instead of just making a clone
to Superman would have been better because like I said,
spoiler review right so at the at the end of the film is is revealed that ultraman is just a copy of
clark kent made by lex luther i would have preferred if lex luther had a suit that literally
not made a kryptonite because that would have been a lot but if he would have had something
that pushed the boundaries because you know especially with the evolution of ai and the
sidekicks that he had as far as the girl who could use nanobots whatever if he could have had a nanobots
like suit a iron man like suit literally and had him to the point where it had Superman's DNA so
it was strong enough to take his punches and things of that nature so it made sense why he could battle
Superman like Ultraman was i think that would have showcased how Lex Luthor was not only mentally
a threat but also physically but now of course with the old trope of Superman or superhero movies
them facing the exact versions of themselves as far as just
a different color right i think that's getting old as far as if that's why i don't like op
superheroes or villains because who's going to fight them right ultimately how i was coming to this
film i thought it was going to be a team going at superman which technically it was a team quote
unquote but i thought it was going to be like a superhero team like if i was making a superman movie
i would literally have an art a cast of villains sometimes you know how to say good artists borrow
great artist still I would have literally had the boys an invincible type of storyline
because they was already there kind of with the boys with showcasing his dad wanting him to
take over earth I would have had it in no they already had it with invincible as far as showcasing
how his dad went it Clark to take over earth that was like one of the biggest plot if not
the biggest plot twists in the movie I think they changed that because in the comics
his parents biologically on Krypton was always good but in this movie
they was wanting him to do some crazy things like you know what i mean it was wanting him to invest in
to invest in some ditty activities you guys see that's the problem so that being said you know
ultimately um he was just sent by his parents one Krypton was dying but but two they also wanted
him to take over earth so that opens the door for an invincible type of battle with his dad coming in
right and now the boy's side of thing i think they could have
had that storyline where his dad came from wherever he was from and he wasn't like killed off he was
actually alive and it was another message saying like oh i'm coming on this day and then it could
have had a jump cut to when his dad was coming or whatever and that could have been the third act
but in the first and second i would have had a team of heroes quote unquote this is where the boys
come in that's just great PR stuff like that they're saving the world the super fantastic all type
great superpowers and then behind the scenes you come to realize kind of like when we realized when uh lex
luther's ozone or whatever that was called was messed up we could have realized something that like
they had something to do with that and they're in capturing innocent people and they're actually very
evil and that could have been the first and second act and the third act could have been his dad if he
was actually uh still alive coming down and then they could have had that huge battle kind of a lot
people would have compared it to man to steel but ultimately um if his dad wants him to take over
earth and he's still alive he would come down have an omniban type of battle with superman and
i think that would have been better and ultimately would have showcased multiple threats that could
fight superman and this movie they did a good job at showcased the ultraman can take on superman
and actually win he was actually winning every time but he had help with the other girl with the
nanobots but one-on-one i feel like he was still winning and um
the only way he ended up losing because there was a whole black hole i mean talk about plot armor
just when i need it a black hole pops up to throw you into like all right well i guess that's
in the ultra man like he was really whooping superman the whole movie so um that's just how i think
it was a more interesting way to go about Superman like it's it's hard to get op heroes and villains
right which is why i don't like them at all because like if the op what's where is the
relatability that's why spider man in my opinion is my favorite uh superhero of all time
because of course he may have the most opi ability as far as spider sense but at the end of day he could be taken out by a lot of people you know he's not just like superman there's a whole youtube and and docu-series talking about how superman could take out goku and people are like oh yeah i agree like you look here in the comics and he pushed the whole universe he was doing push-ups with two universes at the same time i'm like where when it is happened like superman just out here just the most op fictional creation ever so um in a movie he's a lot toned down and
I saw a lot of people saying he didn't use his powers much.
I thought he used his powers fine.
Like,
I'm seeing his powers used a lot throughout the movie.
I think this movie is great because of replayability factors there.
There's a lot of plot points in here that you probably won't realize until at the end of the movie,
like the whole clone of Ultraman being able to open up whatever that,
uh,
sanctorum is of Superman's, right?
Um, and looking back at it,
you can probably realize how in the world I was able to open up because they really don't,
I mean, they kind of explain it, but the plot twist of the clone of Clark Kent wasn't really like obvious to some people.
To other people it was, to me, the whole time, I was just thinking it was a random villain that was as strong as Superman.
Because he had the whole ozone or whatever he called that place, the dark space in between nothing.
Like, I don't know what that space was.
But he had all type of things captured.
It almost looked like the collectors.
location in Guardians of the Galaxy. That's what it reminded me of. He just had all type of creatures
captured. So I just, I was thinking maybe he just found something that was as strong as Superman and
brainwashed it or whatever. So anyways, um, I went on a whole tangent about Lex Luther because that's how
important he is to the movie. He's literally like the main villain. So, um, as far as Lex Luther and Superman,
I do believe psychologically they handled that film tremendously. If Superman's OP going at him from a
public perception and a in a social media route is fantastic marketing but on the other side
Ultraman and the girl with the nanobots you never really thought they was going to actually
beat Superman like Superman is actually one of the most opie fictional creations of all time I think
like I if I was making a movie a Superman movie I would have had a team of heroes like the boys
and had them go it would have been a flip homelander would have been a good person and a team would have
been bad behind the scenes.
Anyways, that's why they say good artists borrow great artists still.
Like if I was in that writing room, I would have let you out like, hold on, man.
Y'all telling me two people are going to be fighting Superman the whole movie.
Like, no, we're not going to be doing that.
Okay, so, and then we have, who else?
Okay, and then we have the engineer.
Man, I missed all type of people.
This list missed all type of people.
And then we have Superman.
So I'm trying to think, who did I miss?
So I know
What was that?
What was the green lanterns name?
I forget his name.
That's probably why I missed it.
I actually don't know the green lantern's name.
But anyways, the green lantern guy.
He,
I'm trying to see, what was his name?
Let me see.
Green Lantern, Superman, 2025.
Let's see who this is?
Because he had a green lantern ring.
I was like, who in the world is this?
Oh, the first Green Lantern.
man how old is Superman guy gardener well okay so it's guy gardener so i didn't know his name at all i was like
who is this but anyways so uh guy gardner served as comedic relief and i won't say served as
because it's an interest and problem in superhero land i don't know why a lot of things have to be a
joke and ultimately if something serious happens it's like it's it's like it's
interesting to let it be cut off by a joke like literally in the whole last part of the movie
the only way that superman and lex luther can have their denzil washington type of moment is if the dog
didn't come in and add some comedic relief right but ultimately james gunn was looking at this scene
and he was probably thinking to himself are y'all acting y'all y'all like actually acting right now
man throw some comedic relief in there you know what i'm saying like just for no reason
Superman telling him the whole reason for Superman
The behind the the cape type of persona he has
Lix Luther letting it be known how narcissistic and egotistical he is
And he gets cut off mid monologue for some comedic relief
I'm thinking to myself
You guys
See that's the problem
Why can we never have serious moments in superhero movies
Without it being cut off?
Like literally
Another moment in a movie
it was when Superman was it was somebody i forget
uh there's another moment in the film it wasn't a dog this time
but Superman was talking about something real serious and then like a joke just came in out of nowhere
i forget what it was from it may have been from god gardener but ultimately it's like stuff that
happens throughout the film where it's like certain plot points that's like very serious and
they throw a joke in there to make it like comedic.
Like, you know, it would be like,
a whole building's falling and stuff.
And the guy would be like, oh, man, they're playing dominoes or something like that.
Like, hold up.
Like, what are we doing?
You know what I'm saying?
Like, it just be random jokes that's like in the situation.
You would never make those jokes.
Being a movie aspect, I guess because it's a kid's movie,
they got to just throw jokes in there for the little Timies of the world.
But it does have a PG-13 rating.
and they did shoot a guy literally yeah that was another moment it's multiple moments in the film but
it's just hard to recall there's a moment where lex leuthor shoots a person in the head right there's a pg 13
movie so they show it from way out and then he just says a joke right after that i mean lex luther
it makes sense from but as far as the um president do he was joking too like he wasn't like yeah i know y'all
evil but man why we shoot him in the head ah man well i guess he couldn't take that i was like hold
I was like, what are we doing?
So anyways, the jokes in the middle of just like serious things happening.
It's just that happens.
That's a reoccurring theme in superhero land.
And I think it's because of the MCU's success in the box office that a lot of people just play-by-play reading the lines out from the successful MCU movies and are copying the comedic elements.
And with James Gunn being a director of MCU film before he opted to hear, I'll be very interesting.
trusted to see if a director had Superman in another movie, what type of Superman will we get?
Because this was very goofy.
It's a very goofy movie.
And I don't know if it should have been that goofy for what the type of topics they
was handling.
Like they really was handling some serious topics, like how experimentation can ruin the world,
how immigrants are treated badly in certain places.
It's like some real topics that I don't want to get to.
political, but you know, there's a lot of things we could tie it into.
One of them just passed as far as COVID, you know, a lot of experimentation.
And then something happens that kills a bunch of people because people want to experiment
on certain things.
So it's like, I do believe when it comes to Superman, there was a lot of heavy topics in
there and they just like glossed over it.
And, yeah, interesting.
Like, a perfect way of how to use comedy.
Hot Girl had the president, right, and dropped him to his death.
And the way they showed him dying was like transitioning to another scene as far as somebody dropping like a peel like a seltzer or not seltzer, but like one of them like lemonade peels into water to dissolve, right?
So that's a comedic element where it makes sense, right?
Because you don't, one, it's PG-13 so you can't have an R-rated.
But two, you know, you add a little insight into what actually happened to him.
Like he actually died.
Wasn't nobody that picked him up.
He died.
It's just a PG-13 movie, so we can't show that.
but ultimately um james gunn really likes r-rated things i believe with supergirl i think she's gonna go
because she had a cameo in this movie i think she's gonna go the uh the dead the deadpool route
i think she's actually gonna have like a more of a mature rating maybe r-rating i think she's gonna
be the opposite of superman as far as like happy go lucky it's gonna be very uh r-rated i believe
in in supergirl's movie anyways getting to the last person which is superman
I'm trying to think of anybody I miss before I get into Superman.
But as far as the girl who's doing the nanobytes and stuff, she was cool.
I think she was an MVP from the villain side.
Like Ultraman, I really don't like copy of O.P.
Hero or villains taking out or fighting the person.
Like, I think that's a cop-out.
Like, if you're going to work with an O.P. hero or villain, you have to make the stakes believable.
Instead of just making, oh, it's a copy of himself, so it makes sense now.
right um i think it i think it's lazy um ultimately when it comes to the girl with the nanobytes i think she was
the best villain uh from a physical aspect in this movie so yeah uh when it comes to i'm trying to think
is anybody else i forget what the commissioner's name is but he did he did well as far as a person that um
um um that lewis lane had an answer to okay yeah that's time to get to Superman so Superman um
it's very dialed down in this movie because he's not facing anything that's like a real threat like obviously the movie showcases him were getting whooped but it's not like he's getting like whipped to the point where he's about to die it's just like you know what let me go heal up and then come back which is literally he healed up and they he did get whoop again he got whooped again and they that person ultimately flew off but i think if it would have kept going he would have ended up winning they they tried to show
Superman in a vulnerable state at the beginning of the movie to set up the fact that it's just not going to be Superman running through everything.
And that doesn't make sense because we're dealing with Superman.
Superman should be able to run through anything if there's not Kryptonite.
If it's not Doomsday, if it's not Brainiac, he's running through any villain you put in front of him.
But of course, that wouldn't make for a good movie.
So when it comes to the overall premise of Superman throughout this movie, I like the character development of him,
being completely oblivious to the great areas of the world and him just being like oh everybody's
good or everybody's bad like oh not everybody but there's good people there's bad people instead of
realizing the nuances of life uh superman was very uh naive in that sense and that's why i think
lois lane had the best dynamic with superman his second best dynamic was with lex lutheran i did like
his use of powers throughout the uh movie he showcased how strong uh james gunn showcased how strong
Superman's win was when he blew pause you guys see that's the problem but as far as
him blowing wind and him showing how stronger was to keep him from dying at
certain scenarios as far as him being sucked into the black hole I think that was a
superhuman a Superman type feet um him catching the the buildings falling over
that was a Superman type feet him fighting the flying things that uh Lex
Luther called in after he was fighting the Ultraman one-on-one I think that was
a regular feat. That was just showcasing what happens when you fight regular, when you have regular
people fight Superman. And I like the line delivery because it actually showcased, okay, Superman
knows how powerful he is because when he fights the regular guys, they're like, oh, we're going
to take you out. And then Superman's like, I'll, you know, love to see you try. And he just completely
does one of the best action scenes as far as him using laser vision and spinning around.
The whole not killing part, I'm not mad at it. I think him throwing Ultraman to a black hole is
like okay because it was a clone
technically it's like when you play it's like
when uh lex luther and his gang went
into the building and basically
started taking out different robots and stuff
like it was like um
a easy way to keep it PG 13
Superman using
heat vision and spinning around
should kill a bunch of people
it didn't
literally they just fell to the ground with a little
damage and the heat laser
the heat vision was
was shown
as
as far as the damage it did to the armors and they just fell to the ground.
But ultimately, those people should have been cut in half.
Like, I don't know if he could turn down this heat vision.
I don't know how that worked.
For Cyclops, I know he has a little dial on his thing for Superman.
It's just straight from the eyeballs.
So I don't know how in the world he's tempering that, right?
So, yeah, as far as the boys, as far as invincible,
it messed up a lot of things for me because growing up, you come to realize.
One, a lot of the things Superman does to save people would absolutely kill them.
right him going at full speed catch uh to take a lady to a rooftop because the building was about
to collapse on it that will ultimately break every bone in her body right so now you have to put on
dc marvel hat because my hat growing up and evolving and realizing people with real powers
and real world doing those things would break a lot of bones as far as physics so now you got
to put your mc u your dc you hat back on and be like this a kid movie when you you you you can
you use super speed it can't just
obliterate a human right so
so as far as Superman
doing that to save a lot of people while they was
fighting a big dragon monster whatever that was called
that made absolutely
no sense but of course it's DCU
so we're just going to let it rock and it's a PG-13
but another thing I realized
growing up and realizing that
Superman's disguise
makes absolutely no sense
that man has the glasses on
nobody knows the Superman that man
takes his glasses off barely even changing
just his hair. I ain't going to kept to you like I know they're talking about oh the messy look
same color same everything if the hypno class if the hypno glasses thing that god Gardner was talking
about is it's a huge cop out I mean I think Superman's identity not being public is one of the
worst things to continue in his arc in his lifelong IP because iron man people know his
public face um Batman hides his identity
other people like Mr. Terrific had a mask, right?
Why he didn't just invent some hypnoglasses?
I mean, it's a real cop-out.
They should just go with Superman's identity being public
because who do they have to go at besides his dad and mom that's in Kansas?
Like, I think ultimately when it comes to heroes not revealing themselves
is because, oh, we don't want you to go at my family.
But his family all the way in Kansas.
Like, you know what I'm saying?
It's not like it'd be different if his family,
was like walking around in the city they was at and he was like hanging out with him down the block
where he just saved a bunch of people like he's saving that city daily it'd be different if you
went down the block to hang with his parents his parents all the way in kansas he and metropolis
so um his identity being hid behind hypnoglasses is one of the craziest things i've ever seen
in superhero history growing up and evolving into an adult so um that makes no sense but i'm
put that to the side because I guess that's one of the comedic elements of Superman.
That's just one of the things people just let slide.
I think later down the line, sort of like, you know, evolution.
We look back at things and be like, how do we let that slide?
I think in the future, we're going to look back and be like, why are they acting like
Clark Kent and Superman are two different people.
They don't see his face.
You know what I'm saying?
Like in the future, this is going to, I'm telling you, it's going to be a crazy day in history
when people realize how ridiculous.
the costume is for Clark Kent having the glasses and now people can't tell his face.
So I don't want to stick to that point because it's not the craziest point.
It was just, you know, involving as a superhero fan,
you realize that a lot of these tropes make no sense.
So another thing, the ice breath.
I feel like that could have been used more often.
It wasn't, though.
Like he used his breath as like a force to push him in certain things and push people away.
But as far as the ice breath,
I feel like that could have been used more.
So when it comes to powers, that's the one power.
I would say could have been used more.
The speed was used a lot.
The heat vision was used sparingly.
What else can Superman do?
He didn't do any, like, clapping animations.
Like, he really could do what the Hulk does.
Like when he claps and then, like, stuff happens, like, vibrates.
But I guess they didn't want to be accused of the Hulk or whatever.
But like I said, if I was writing this movie, Invincible, The Boys.
Now we have the new Superman movie.
I ain't gonna cap to you.
Some of the ways that Invincible be fighting makes absolutely no sense why it's that entertaining
because he has none of the powers of Superman has, not none of that.
He vision, none of that.
But the way that they showcase the force that the Veltramites fight with,
I would have ripped that, man.
I ain't gonna cap.
If I'm DCU, I would just straight rip them choreographies and use it for myself.
That's what I'm saying, man.
Sometimes good artists, not sometimes, all the time.
Good artists borrow great artists steal.
So anyways.
I mean, just looking at Fortnite.
PubG's whole model got taken on my Fortnite,
and now people only know Fortnite for the battle of reality.
I mean, just look at, you know what I mean?
You got to evolve it a little bit,
and then ultimately people just gravitate towards it.
So I've been yapping way too long about this movie.
That should let you know how much I enjoy it.
I guess, let me just talk about the top moments I do enjoy it
because I don't want to seem like I'm ragging on the movie.
I really enjoy this.
Like, it's my favorite, it's probably my top three favorite DC movie.
Number one,
will have to be the dark night because the scene of Joker putting that phone in the prisoner's belly
I know it's a random scene but that's how much I love that film um always stuck with me I'm like man
this is one deranged human and then also um what else did they have a justice league movie
I think they did have a justice league movie we should show you how bad that movie was hey that was
that was terrible that's probably bottom three as far as worst DC movies um number two DC
really doesn't have a lot to pick from angle cap movie wise like animation that's a whole
another discussion you all want me wake it up about how the animation is complete completely run and
lapse around marvel and dc's live action like dc's animated series all the way up into
apocalypse war is greater than any superhero run i've seen i'm talking about infinity war all of them
it's really not too many superhero runs uh the boys invincible all of those runs pale in comparison
to dc's apocalypse war run i want to see you
if I can pull this up just in case you want to watch this because you're going to watch
this and then thank me later because this lead up to Apocalypse War
Apocalypse, Justice League. Let me just show you the league I'm talking about because I don't
have the timeline but ultimately Justice League, let me see, Justice League DC
animated movie. The old ones popping up from 2000.
the one that is not the one i'm talking about okay i think it's this one anyways um
how i'll pull this up uh this cast of characters right here this is my justice league i don't
know about y'all but my ultimate when i think of justice league i think of this right here i'm not
going to lie to you this is the greatest iteration i've seen of a superhero team ever like when it
comes to superman batman flash cyborg wonder woman green lantern shazam shazam shazan
Now, when I think of Justice League, this is what I look like.
Justice League is this to me.
So when it comes to iterations and the live action,
I would have ripped it, but at this point in time,
the animated series is never going to get ripped to live action.
I don't know.
I mean, you have the formula right in front of you.
I mean, because Marvel never had an animation run like these characters had.
And DC just continues to not use it.
I don't know why.
Just, if they blatantly ripped this whole right,
runoff from every single character.
I swear they would have an Infinity War
in game type of run
in the live action, but they just don't want to rip it
beat for beat. Because that's what I would
do. I was like, bro, like, we can't even come close
to this quality. And, um,
I mean, obviously they've tried multiple times,
but no Justice League team has
topped this one.
Now, obviously the OGs,
I guess, you know, the, not, not I guess.
The OGs definitely top that. Like, I'm
talking about, um, obviously I know
what the OGs look like.
like I'm talking about my lifetime that's my justice league but as far as the OGs like this this is definitely the foundation like I'm not going to be disrespectful like they set the groundwork from my evolved version of the justice league but this is definitely the groundwork as far as what a justice league team is supposed to look like and they got it they got it right in live action so I would just love to sit down with a director and have him explain to me how it's so hard to rip a live action to rip an animation to live
live action like what is so hard about that i mean you do it in comic books i would think it's even
easier in the live action because live action isn't as long as certain um i forget what they call
the big continuation of stories and comic books but the continuation of comic books is a lot more
history to go over than the actual live action so and they already did all the work you just got to
improve upon it but you know hey i guess it's i guess it's easier said to done that's all i love to sit down
director and ask him about that because i would just rip that i'm not going to cap to you there's a lot of
things i would just rip from like the things that superman ripped from i think it's just like i'm not
going to say it's uninspiring but having a superman fight a clone of himself mind you psychologically
and everything else in the movie is immaculent i'm talking about the villain they could have did
they could have did a lot better from a physical aspect they could have did a lot better but psychologically
the plot points of this movie fantastic that's exactly how i want my superman or opie hero villain
movie to go i want him to be faced with things that his brute force can't fix um so yeah as ultimately
ultimately my review of the superman movie obviously i went this long because i really enjoyed it
um at the end of day i don't give reviews or ratings i don't even cover movie and tv shows like
that unless they're superhero content i would just say that dc u is in a a much better place
for the long term than marvel in my opinion because with robert down he's
Jr. being paid what he's being paid currently to play Dr. Doom, that can only last for so long.
So if you reset, now you're starting from Ground Zero.
DC already has a Superman and a Batman that's phenomenal that has not crossed over yet.
Think about that.
That's like having Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans that haven't crossed over yet into a movie.
So you already know for sure you have one hit movie in the tuck.
This Superman, Robert Patton's Batman.
Crossover hit is automatic.
now we just got to build upon that as far as Marvel they literally are resetting everything with doomsday they got to start from ground one ground one ground zero um so we're gonna see how that works for them but as far as the lead i'm gonna give it to DC you currently as far as constructing a cinematic universe so with that being said click my link show in my bio let me know in one of my social medias what do you think about the Superman movie and at the end of the day do you think i got it right as far as ultimately think
this is the best Superman movie I've ever seen and one of the top three DC live action movies
ever made or if you don't like it tell me what you dislike the most uh or like the most about the
superman movie
