It's also worth keeping in mind that in most versions Kara lived in Argo City with her parents, so she might not have even known Lara and Jor-El that well, and might not have been aware of their attitude toward Earth.
I’m a bit confused why Pracemaker is still around. He’s from the other timeline.
It looks like they'll be addressing this in Season 2 of Peacemaker.
Krypto somewhat understood English.
All Kyptonian Dogs might be as smart as those Gorilla's who do sign language, but this particular dog is also an asshole.
No, he understood just as much any dog. One of our dogs will even eavesdrops on my mom and I and will react perfectly to what we're saying even when we aren't talking to or about her. People dismissing animals' intelligence just
Dogs are more assholes. Just noisy creatures.
You obviously need to meet more dogs.
I have a tiny dog (terrier/schnauzer cross) who thinks she is the size of a German Shepherd.
We had a Great Dane who thought he was a Chihuahua lap dog.
Bad:
- I really disliked Supergirl at the end. Just totally disrespectful to her cousin for watching her dog that wrecked havoc on his home, and then calls him b@tch when leaving. That is not a good introduction to a character that is suppose to be the lead for the next film. They would have been better off just keeping it as Superman's dog or not make Supergirl so obnoxious.
I don't think she was actually calling him a bitch, a lot of people just talk like that. For people like that "bye bitch" is just how you say goodbye to your friends.
I saw Gunn's Superman last Friday night with my wife (the kids were at camp ha ha).
I loved the film. It has heart, it has characters ripped right from the comics and I loved the focus on kindness, which has faded as an American value. Corenswet, Brosnahan, and Hoult were great leads. Loved Edi Gathegi's Mr. Terrific and Fillion's Guy Gardner.
My wife loved it too. She wasn't crazy about the violence of Man of Steel and she was prepared for more of the same and was surprised how much she enjoyed the new film. She actually liked it more than the original Superman: The Movie and Superman II.
Again, I loved the film, but, for whatever reason, I still like Superman: The Movie and Superman II a little more. Maybe that's all due to Christopher Reeve, I don't know. Reeve is still the number one Superman for me, but Corenswet and Superman and Lois' Tyler Hoechlin are 2 and 3 (haven't decided what order).
I had a few peeves though:
1. I didn't care for the depiction of the Kendra Saunder's Hawkgirl. She seemed really spoiled and unlikable. I can't see Hawkgirl siding with Guy about not wanting to help Superman. Guy yes, Kendra, no way.
I liked Hawkgirl, I didn't get any of that from her.
2. It was great to see Metamorpho, but, again, he didn't seem exactly like Rex Mason. Rex always seemed like Marvel's Thing, bitter about his looks, but a tough guy with a soft interior who would bth out Batman.
To be fair, this was kind of an extreme situation, so it probably wasn't the best example of what he's usually like.
3. The big twist with Jor-El and Lara: I'm not going to spoil it. It worked well for the movie and underlined it's theme, and it isn't exactly unprecedented in the some depictions of Superman's origins in the comics.
That said, I would rather have had it the other way, which is far more traditional in the Superman origin stories. That said, I have an idea how to fix this (and I'm sure others on this thread have the same or similar ideas), that could naturally lead to a plot for the next film. I'm thinking about messaging Gunn with it if possible but I would not be surprised at all if he is already planning to go in that direction based on what he said about Bradley Cooper returning as Jor El.
No offense, but I'm not sure a writer of his caliber is really going to need writing help from a random person on the internet.
I guess Gun wanted to show that the Justice Gang was a group by giving them uniforms like Terrific's costume. Terrific looked great, but I would've much rather Guy was wearing his GL uniform with his vest and roach-stompers. Oh well!
I wouldn't be surprised if we saw Guy in something closer to his usual GL uniform when he shows up in Lanters. He probably only wears his costume he wore in this when he's doing stuff with the rest of the Justice Gang.
Also, although the Engineer character was a great baddie for the film, I'm kind of wondering how Gunn will reconcile that character with the Engineer of The Authority with the same name. The Authority's Angie was a scientist and a good person and I can't see her joining up with a scumbag like Lex.
Yeah, I'm curious about this too, I've never read any of the Authority comics, but I do know she's one of the main heroes from. I had assumed she'd get some kind of a redemption at the end, to set her up as a hero for the Authority movies, but she was just as bad at the end as the beginning.
The only DC project I'm a bit concerned with is the Lanterns TV show. It looks like it is something new by Tom King, who I've just started reading with Batman. I think he's a great writer, but he's only done one issue of Green Lantern to my knowledge. GL became a breakout book with Geoff Johns famous run, and I'd feel better if Johns was the showrunner for the GL show, but I guess that the bridge between him and DC/Warner's has burned down in the wake of the Whedon Justice League fallout and the general failure of the previous DCU. I'm also concerned that Lanterns will kill off Hal Jordan or make him Parallax. I guess we'll see.
If it makes you feel any better King's not the showrunner, Chris Mundy is, he's just part of the writing team and a producer.
