The suits are made by maxwell lord and will be changed later I think. But for superman, I don’t think they’re changing it and I hate the trunk… always hated it

How did the movie have Superman has a minor character? I don’t have the figure for his screen time but he had the most minutes in that movie
I'm not talking about screen appearance but actually having an effect on the story. I'm not talking about the Maxwell Lord suits. Then again, why would a space cop be a hero for hire?

The Superman suit is ridiculous and not aesthetically pleasing to look at. Heck, you can't take the character serious if he is dressed in that.

Maybe I was the only one before now talking about the cosplay costume....
The other guys here claimed the suit is the very best cheesy
I don't think James Gunn can handle a Justice League movie with many top tier characters. He excel more with unknown characters so he can easily injects his escapism style. Only one character which can still be regarded as top tier character I will like to see him write and direct is Shazam, the main Captain Marvel..
If WB knows what they're doing then they don't need person like Gunn to write, not to talk of directing a Justice League movie. He will completely destroyed Batman if he's giving the opportunity oh... Again, I don't think there is much enthusiasm cbm this days cause what this guys are putting out are low of qualities...
The genre likely picking up now is the horror genre..
The longer it goes, no serious actor who cares about their career will want to be in CBMs any more. SUPERMAN was an insult to one's Intelligence, and not like one is that smart. I couldn't take the film seriously neither did I find it funny. The suits itself didn't help.

The movie na complete wacko from start to finish honestly...
Exactly! the movie is meant to insult the intelligence of the smart ones, cause everything about the movie felt so fake and unreal for one to even start with... No wonder WB could not wait longer to lose more money to theatre owners that's why they rushed to put it on digital for people to buy or rent and see if they can recoup some of their loss....
Nobody is falling for those shills and influencers called critics anymore.. Check all the recent cbm they are giving high scores, you can deduce that some kind agenda is going on, cause the movies are never as good as critics are scoring them...

Why not tell us the same excuses made for MoS also... or na only Superman you see... 😏

Talking about Oppenheimer and Barbie, why not tell us how many times things like that have occurred in the industry? So anomalies are now the rule? Also, why not tell us how Mission Impossible 7 was affected by Barbie, I thought it's standard for two competing movies to do exceptionally well when released same time? 😏

Also, no one is making excuses, and even if it's excuses, it's a justifiable one. If you think otherwise, give your reasons. Explain how F4 didn't affect the BO performance of Superman. What don't you tell us how Superman was performing before F4 was released? Aside that, explain how Superman breaking even and making profits is a flop or failure? If you call Superman a flop, what will we then call MoS that had no CBM competition then? If you want to argue, at least be factual... no dey do selective argument...



#Xavier
I did not call superman a flop or failure my own is that a critically acclaimed superman movie with good word of mouth should definitely be making above 700m hence it underperformed in my own opinion, underperformance and being a flop/failure isn't the same, as for Oppenheimer and Barbie I'm just stating what's possible , its not like I was expecting Superman and F4 to both hit a billion dollars, but at least their performance should be a certain way that people wont even have grounds to argue their success because they would look ridiculous.

I'm sure that even if you didn't have a billion in mind you were expecting Superman to perform better than this

They are everywhere now glazing PeaceMaker 2 and also chanting Justice gang has amassed 1m views in its first day of released on digital oh grin cheesy grin You won't see them bringing up all this unfavourable conditions excuses now, but the moment things starts going south you will see them everywhere giving us 1001 excuses why the movie is not doing well grin cheesy

The truth is they don't learn grin grin grin grin

James Gunn don't do reshoot grin Justice gang forced him to do grin cheesy James Gunn can never have a director's cut grin grin Justice gang is forcing him to have one, even though they are trying to twist things so it doesn't look like a director's cut grin cheesy
Superman movie na your mate!!! I told them before now making movies for a bunch of misfits characters that no one cares about is not the same as making a Superman move! In Superman, every individual have their own ideas on how they see him and it's difficult to just bring your own idea and believe everybody will fall in line... Even the great Christopher Reeve's Superman of 78 will not get that smooth reception it got back then if it was released today...
The gatekeeping of the Superman's lore is just too much and it will never make the character to succeed in live action...

It's not even all about Snyder for me, yes I 100% prefer what Snyder did with the character than what Gunn is doing with it... But If guys like the the Russo brothers were picked for this projects you won't see me complain cause I have seen their work and I know they are capable of handling characters better than Gunn. They know when a scene needs to be serious, likewise when to spice little humor into it and their action scenes are almost as great as Snyder. Unlike Gunn that nothing looks serious and real in his movie.. You can easily tell in Gunn's movies that nothing tense, everything just looks fake and acting ( acting in the sense that you can 100% tell that they're just acting).

I just remembered that in Man of Steel Kryptonians had the power to terraform Earth into Krypton also had interstellar travel but for some reason they couldn't save their planet from exploding.
And this is the movie that is supposedly better than Superman 2025

I think this was explained in the movie. They abandoned their outerspace outpost and overutilized krypton’s resources till its core became unstable and kaboom

Remember kryptonians in Man of Steel were genetically engineered to be the perfect citizen and follow the roles they were given so you're telling me that the perfect rulers refused to believe the perfect scientist about an impending doom and they also had the ability to terraform planets which Zod used in the movie so they could have terraformed any planet of their choice. Would have made sense if they had someone like Brainiac deceiving them like we see in some other Superman stories.

Well, maybe the politicians who were the rulers were engineered to be stupid like politicians on earth too grin

But seriously, if you bring a magnifier to every movie, you will find holes like this. Even this new movie had some

I actually like Man of Steel but people are now doing revisionist history acting like it's some masterpiece. It's a visual masterpiece but story wise it's not all that.

At least Man of steel had better visuals and action scenes. Superman 2025 doesn’t even have one aspect that outshines MOS. Visuals was bad, story was wack, dialogue was just disgusting to the ears and CGI looks like rainbow puked on it….

Better action scenes that was only possible because of idiot plot? Like how Superman tackles General Zod while he was trying to harm his mom in the process leaving her with three or four of his soldiers, he moved Zod through the farm through a cornfield and into a gas station in Smallville where people were staying. How is that anything that a normal Superman would do?

Both movies are mixed bags imo.

I think Superman is slightly better because at least the character is true to the comics.

I'm not a fan of dark, broody Superman.

Man Of Steel is a visual masterpiece and the action is much better.
Zod is a better villain than Lex Luthor.

Man Of Steel also didn't have multiple side characters taking up valuable screen time.

There are other areas where MOS is better than Superman.

But Superman's characterization in that movie is a massive deal breaker for me.

Henry Cavill Superman does not fill me with hope, joy and optimism.

Man Of Steel had everything it needed to be great except a good Superman.

Zack Snyder misunderstood the character.

Henry Cavill said he preferred Joss Whedon's take on the character because it was more accurate to the comics.
