Trailer Superman Full Trailer

In that scene, this response felt human. Not, it. (Which at least from this trailer, is the point)

I like the "S," it feels new? But its outline really hearkens to very early Superman "S" for me.

Quite. In the comics they sell his vulnerabilities as being Kryptonite and magic, but his biggest weakness is his steadfast morality. Anything that attacks that might well break him.

Not really. I don’t know enough about you to be personal.

More an observation that his reaction seems pretty mild given what I (and many others; I won’t speak for you) know about how the modern world works. If the movie were being realistic, I imagine that 50% of the public reaction to even simple acts of goodness would be utterly hostile. He’d be a saint to half the world and the devil to the other half, and none of that would really have anything to do with him. Superman (socially, not physically) couldn’t exist in our world. He’d be demonised.

I think that’s a little cynical. I’d say that if someone (especially a famous someone) does an impressively and undeniably positive thing in our world, the response is generally positive.

The problem with stopping wars or similar is that, despite the maths on the ground (people killed by bombs today = 50 fewer than if Superman hadn’t turned up) such actions are rarely undeniably or purely positive. If Clark stops a Russian advance in Ukraine, well, that’s great for Ukraine and most surrounding countries and he’d be hailed as a hero by many people in Europe and elsewhere, but some - such as many Russians and those who fear that Clark is a particularly American power - will express disapproval and fear.

If Clark stops an Israeli attack on a hospital in Gaza or an Indian attack on a village in Kashmir, that gets even worse. Freeing prisoners from an Uyghur internment camp in Xinjiang? Freeing US prisoners from El Salvador? Kryptonite bullet time.

Okay so now that we’ve established that you don’t know anything about me…



I’m talking about his reaction specifically to her - she’s asking questions as a reporter and he’s getting very angry, but they are valid questions a reporter would ask and I think he would be able to recognize that as well.

Morrus said:

Yes, that’s what you said. I saw with my eyes. I won’t repeat my answer as you’ve already see it. I’d rather advance the conversation than simply repeat it.

TiQuinn said:

Alright, then I completely don’t understand the relevance of anything that you said to me short of making a personal comment in my direction so how about we just disengage.

Morrus said:

I think it’s pretty simple.

You said he overreacted as he’s a journalist.

I said I don’t think so in light of the pressure that the modern world would put on someone in his unique position.

You said he overreacted as he’s a journalist.

I said I already replied to that.
