Kidder's Lois was hit or miss with me. A bit too swoony, even for the Seventies. Brosnahan and Tulloch's Loises (Loisi?) are the type to take Clark and Superman to task.
 
What a disappointment! Superman and James Gunn are not a good fit. I think the latter would have been happier if the movie had solely been about the Justice Gang.:rolleyes:

Yeah that would have been a cool movie idea.

For me it felt like we missed a whole chunk of the story with the first 30 minutes felt like there was a ton of stuff there that felt like a whole story but parts before the big reveals cut off like what lead up to all that?

BTW James Gunn said the message Clark had was authentic but then you had fans arguing with the director himself about "oh no that message didn't mean that" He wrote the bloody thing.
 
It's called starting in medias res. Everything we need to know was explained in the opening captions or filled in later in the story. An obscure 1970s film called Star Wars did the same thing. (Although that backstory did eventually get filled in, several times over.)


Apparently so. I don't know, I don't hate the film, but neither do I feel like raving about it either.

BTW is the Supergirl we meet near the end supposed to be the same as the one in the TV series or another different one?

Good point. I don't ever recall anyone complaining about not seeing the rebels steal the Death Star plans as the opening scrawl covered all you needed to know. Once that scrawl ended you were thrown right into the action.

She’s the same character insofar as they are both versions of Kara Zor-El. This is not in the same continuity as the TV show, however, any more than Helen Slater’s, Laura Vandervoort’s, or Sasha Calle’s versions were. These characters are reimagined with pretty much every new project.
 
I thought Rachel Brosnahan's Lois was fantastic.
I liked the Daily Planet crew, so I'm definitely interested in the show, especially if the lean into some of the craziness the Jimmy Olson comics have gotten into. Maybe if this goes past Grodd as the Big Bad they could take a page from the comics and introduce the new DCU's Darkseid and the New Gods.

Random woke shit...

Women can't be victims.

Women have to have agency.

Women don't need a man.
 
He should have kept a closer eye on the on-screen graphics people.
They gave the "not real!" people some small ammo. ;)

I assume that was intentional, that even though the message was real, the media latched onto the assumption it was faked, and maybe Superman didn't feel strongly motivated to correct the assumption. I mean, it's not like it's unusual for TV news to get things wrong.

Honestly, more to the point is that they can't keep describing Lois as a world class, award-winning investigative reporter who can't gauge risks, press interview subjects, spell or take a helicopter ride without falling out a door.

Amy Adams was the one bright light in all the Snyderman movies.
