Much like Timelords, CW shows take a long time to die. Supernatural will continue to be renewed even after the sun dies.
Supergirl - Season Four
- Thread starter Kai "the spy"
- Start date
Maybe wait till you actually see him in the role before passing judgement?
I see you are fond of rhetorical questions.
Mine was very thorough on those subjects.
And now I'm starting to wonder about that school's credentialing.
That’s not possible. He’s psychic, but his powers are limited to movies and shows written for children.
Zippy is a legacy actor.
I've seen Superman IV twice.
It's not a good movie.

I've managed to purge Superman IV from my memories. I do get weird panic attacks when I see silver fingernail polish though.
I foolishly spent 20 years thinking that the Nuclear Man was Dolph Lundgren.
My bad.
Hmmm.
DC Comics can't have been happy about this character conflicting with "The Fury of Firestorm the Nulcear Man" which was near the end of it's run at the time.

Dolph was too good for that shit.
I'm amazed how often the old Rocky movies are still referenced in contemporary pop culture.
I've never seen Superman IV. I feel like I dodged a cannonball there.
There is a decent fanedit that splices the third and fourth movie together, and its not terrible. Nuclear Man is created instead of his "double" using footage from III.
I'll cop to seeing it in the theaters when it first opened. That was also the last time I saw it.
I actually liked Superman IV better than Superman III (Although neither one is re-watchable IMO)

You can make the case that IV has its heart in its right place, in that it's not a comedy vehicle for Richard Pryor and seems to be trying to recapture the magic of the first two movies, right down to bringing back Gene Hackman and Margot Kidder, but they weren't able to pull it off, in part because of the shoestring budget.
I thought the part about Lex putting the fabric in to maintain standards of moral decency was pretty funny. That's what, a few seconds out of about two hours? No, make that 90 minutes. Ugh.
I think Superman III is underrated. Certainly it didn't satisfy audiences who wanted to see superhero movies follow the lead of the comics in becoming more serious and grounded; but it works well if you look at it as an unapologetic tribute to the charming goofiness of Silver Age DC. In its way, it feels more confident in itself than the first two movies, because those movies were torn between residual Silver Age silliness and their attempt at greater verisimilitude and naturalism. S3 picks a tone and sticks with it. Plus Clark's romance with Lana is refreshing because Lana actually likes Clark, not just Superman, so it serves his Clark Kent side better than the previous films. And Robert Vaughn's Ross Webster is a better Lex Luthor than Hackman's Lex was allowed to be, a prototype for the corporate-magnate Lex that would emerge post-Crisis. The main drawback is the Richard Pryor stuff, but he's pretty much in the tradition of the goofy scientists that were all over Silver Age comics as well as the George Reeves TV show. And most of the deleted scenes on the DVD are Pryor scenes, so they cut his part way down from what it could've been.
Superman IV, on the other hand, is just bad. I agree it had ambitious goals, but that just makes its failure to achieve them all the worse.

I really hope that Dreamer isn’t going to be a one season character, I want more of her. I rarely get characters I can actually identify with.
