I'm not sure what you mean. With Superman, the kind of action that defines him is more about rescuing people and stopping disasters than fighting bad guys (since so few villains are a physical match for him), and S:TM has a lot of that kind of action in its climax, with runaway nukes and earthquakes and dams bursting and train tracks breaking and so forth.
Granted, though, the sequel's massive fight between Superman and Zod's trio was a very impressive achievement for its day, the first time that kind of big superpowered battle had been captured on the screen in live action.
You're not wrong. Most of Superman's action should consist of him saving people rather than fighting people. But sometimes I do just want to see him punch somebody. Unfortunately, the movies that seem to really get Superman are the ones where there isn't anybody for him to punch (
Superman (1978), Superman Returns) and the ones where he does get to punch somebody typically either don't fully understand the character (
Man of Steel) or have massive structural problems (
Superman II).
I've seen so many comments saying this will fail because the actress isn't blonde.........
It's the mirror image of 15 years ago when everyone was freaking out about Daniel Craig as James Bond because he was blonde.
Egad. Sometimes it's hard to tell whether people are genuinely not thinking or deliberately ignoring the obvious so that they have an excuse to attack and condemn.
I think that's often the case. I think that people often decide whether or not they like something first, then come up with spurious post hoc "reasons" to justify it. Back in the '00s, I remember people making derisive references to Joel Schumacher's homosexuality but never mentioning Bryan Singer's in the same way. They were both gay. But since people didn't like Schumacher's
Batman movies, it became an easy target for nasty people to use against him. Meanwhile, people liked Singer's
X-Men movies, so no one cared.
Not a lot of comic-book heroines in movies are played by actresses using their natural hair color, especially the blondes and redheads. I remember how annoyed I was that the X-Men and Spider-Man movies couldn't give Famke Janssen or Kirsten Dunst a consistent red dye job from movie to movie. And then there's the irony of Spider-Man 3 having the naturally blonde Dunst play the redheaded MJ and the naturally redheaded Bryce Dallas Howard play the blonde Gwen Stacy.
Emma Stone was another natural redhead who went blonde to play Gwen Stacy in
The Amazing Spider-Man.
As for Kirsten Dunst, her hair was only dyed in the first movie. In the sequels, it was a wig. I seem to recall it being a pretty consistent, natural looking orangey-red in both of the sequels but it didn't match at all with the bright red from the first movie.
Come to think of it, apart from Liz & MJ in the Tom Holland movies, pretty much none of the young ladies in any of the
Spider-Man movies (even the animated one) have their natural hair color.
The chemistry doesn't matter -- it's more a question of the mechanics. As the article says, temporary dyes just adhere to the outer surface of the hair, while permanent ones penetrate the interior and alter its chemistry. And Kryptonian hair in Earth conditions is generally portrayed as being just as impenetrable and indestructible as any other Kryptonian tissues, which would make permanent dyeing impossible.
While Kryptonian tissue can't be cut or penetrated by large objects like scissors, I don't know if that guarantees that it can't be chemically altered if a substance is able to seep into the pores.
It would also explain some more prickly questions about whether his shed hair, skin cells, and other... err... biological leavings would ever decay into the environment. There are some questions about Kryptonian indestructibility that are rather icky to contemplate.
If his cells are incapable of decay (which I believe is what Batman said in
Justice League), than maybe they don't shed either? Don't human cells only shed because the cells die?
She'd have to be really flexible to get the backs of her legs that way.
I'm not particularly flexible but I'm able to see the backs of my calves & most of my thighs with little effort. She might need a mirror for some of the trouble spots on the very back of her thighs but that's about it.
