Kellog would have hated Superman becuase the Kents didn't have him circumcised.
But they probably tried.

Flintstones was a primetime TV show in the beginning. It was actually nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Best Comedy Series in 1961!I'm not so sure you can use advertising as an indicator of the target audience for a TV show.
Did they want kids to start smoking? Undoubtedly. But adults eat cereal too.
The Kents did go to church, but you'd think that personally raising an alien child might put a small dent in their faith. Maybe.
If he was cloned, which is what Byrne said, and then MOS said that he was the first "man" in thousands of years not to have been cloned, then Clark is maybe not going to have a belly button.
To fit in, and hide among among the humans, that's two surgeries at least.
There is an amazing Man of Steel fan-edit that scores the movie with the Williams score and lightens the colors to more appropriate tones. It does *wonders*.
That was like five reboots ago.

Yeah, Flinstones is technically supposed to be geared at adults. It was basically the '60s version of modern day adult animated series like The Simpsons or Bob's Burgers.
Meh. I prefer the original (nor am I keen on someone totally unconnected to a work of art [commercial or otherwise] making such a change without the input of the creator—among the reasons I loathe colourized versions of classic films with no consultation of the creator. I wouldn’t deploy Crayola crayons on a Picasso pencil sketch just because I like colour.)
That looks pretty great from the trailer.
Reviving the thread to share this charming and off-key little oddity:
Is it a bad film? Yeah, pretty much. But is it still entertaining? Yep.
It has its virtues. The opening bit in this scene -- where every hand in the room shoots up to sponsor him -- understands who Superman is and what he represents, in his world and ours, in ways that utterly elude the character's more recent cinematic perpetrators:
A big budget can't buy everything.

Christopher Reeve put his heart into that movie but it was clearly a project whose vision and scope were well beyond what its limited budget could accomplish. Superman IV may be a mediocre and arguably terrible sequel but nobody can say it didn't at least try and have a positive message it was trying to tell audiences.
I rather enjoy Mariel Hemingway in it, and the scene where she and Lois have a double-date with Clark and Superman is pretty fun and funny. Hackman is a blast as always. And Jon Cryer ... has better Luthors in his future.
