FergieRaww: Honestly i want it that way, start Rodrygo five games straight on the left with Vini coming in and let’s see how it goes
We don’t have tough fixtures yet, i wish Xabi can test it and find a way to fix three of them together… can’t believe the three of them all prefer the left side of attack mann!! 🤦🏽♂️
I swear, even 3 matches sef. Well let's see how he goes about it. I share your frustrations about their LW preference tbh. I also think Gonzalo should start with Mbappe in at least 2 matches.
Minemrys: Not everyone reads comics. And speaking of comics, there are issues where the character is better written. If you are talking about comics, how about the animated series and films where Superman is presented in serious light? Let's talk about the CW Superman. And that wasn't a movie mind you.
James Gunn is better writing obscure characters. Listen I have no problem with the portrayal of Superman, Lois, Lex Luthor, Guy or Mister Terrific, I have issues with the story and the costumes. Sure the acting was over the top sometimes but that's not on the actors.
dead this agenda abeg Come to the movie thread We have already trashed this topic. Move on or move away.
Kaycee7: The solution is for creators to focus on creating their vision and engage with minimal criticism. No content has ever had unanimous positive reception. There's always going to be audience members who don't like the content. As long as you get through to a significant audience, you're good. Focus on entertaining that audience.
It's really this simple. The problem is that studios and media companies keep trying to break into multiple demographics to increase the customer base.
Exactly, they want that growth to happen by any means necessary instead of organically. A very good example is what's happening with WWE RN. Always looking to break into new markets to the detriment of the quality of what they put out.
Rudiger rejoins the squad as he has finished serving his punishment. Would be interesting to see if he'll displace Militao in the 11. I also hope we get to see Thiago for some minutes.
Palehair: This is one of the reasons why cinemas are failing, studios are confused as to what the audiences want because the audience are also confused. I remember these same set of people crying that "the heroes journey" is missing during Cavill's era especially in superhero movies and that he's overpowered making the character boring, now they give them the opposite, they are still whining. I don't like the critical drinker but there's a quote he said that I really like, "Most theatre goers post pandemic don't know what they want and it's affecting studios decisions". In this era where everyone is a critic, it gets worse
This is true actually. The issue now is that here is no viable solution to the conundrum in sight.
I'm just not a little bit surprise about how shallow some people are here. They can't seem to get what Gunn did, is just to show the human side of Superman, that Superman, despite being an alien, is every bit human.
Gunn showed us even Superman, need a helping hand, and even a shoulder to cry on and some humans (lex Luther) aren't human at all. Luthor's plans reveal him to be a monster.
DieRich5: Is this accurate? Which universe did Gunn used for this Justice Gang? I don’t remember seeing Superman and Supergirl in the same team for once
To DC fans, are you really happy about this Justice gang over justice League? Is this low budget heroes you want to use to take over MCU?
Let be real If Gunn Superman made $600M in box office, with 50% of people hating on the movie…..what do you expect from this Justice gang members each of their movies will make?
I’ll not watch this peacemaker S2 and supergirl will be the last Movie I’ll watch till Gunn is out of DC
You can choose to watch or not bro but what I'm concerned with is if you know what the word "retconned" means.
SOZINN: The argument being that the people of Metropolis you're so worried about were already used to seeing Superman win fights, so handing Ultraman's ass to him the first time he showed up wouldn't have made any difference to them.
🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
Nah man, I meant real humans that go to see the movie on screen or at home like you.
SOZINN: No I wrote a more detailed version of what you said because I watched the movie. You're the one here lying and making things up. Even if I wanted to take what you said at face value, those things are clearly not feats.
Lol, they are not feats abi No wahala 😂😂😂 Just don't say he is the weakest Superman on screen and we good.
SOZINN: I don't know how you watched that movie but in the beginning we were led to believe that Superman had never lost a fight in 3 years before the Hammer of Boravia, people didn't have a problem with him not losing then.
Jesus Christ wasn't that off screen? na wa oh, which kind argument be this one again
SOZINN: Ultraman was a dumbed down version of him and he was fed counter moves by a human whom Superman is 100,000x faster than. Nothing excuses the way Superman was handled in the beginning. He wasn't having any problems with the Kaiju because the Kaiju had never grown that big before and it was confused, slow and it's only fire power was literally fire which does nothing to Superman. You can hardly call beating that kind of creature a feat.
He wasn't fending off Ultraman in that field, don't stretch it. Ultraman was landing hits and when he beat the shit out of him The Engineer proceeded to suffocate him with nanites while he was on his knees and his flight out of earth was an escape mechanism. The Raptors weren't exactly clothed in Vibranium or anything like that, your idea of flattening them was just spraying them with heat vision. If he didn't do that at the end we would have questioned if he had heat vision. Do you really expect us to be impressed by that? Do you even know what a feat means?
He beat a brain dead version of himself and don't mention him getting out of that black hole without Metamorpho. Don't forget he was holding his baby so Metamorpho pulled with every strength he had. At least you have accepted his reaction speed is shit, maybe we are getting somewhere.
Na you dey call am "dumbed down version" and "escape mechanism" and also "...with every strength he had" please what strength does metamorpho have?. You basically just repeated everything I said but with your usual shithousery so cool bro👍🏿
SOZINN: You guys are even going too far with this. There's no way Lex Luthor would be able to give instructions in the middle of a fight between 2 Kryptonians (one by birth and the other by DNA) unless one was completely dumb and the other was Corenswet's Superman. Even if he was moving at Makkari's level, Lex wouldn't be able to see him coming and he would have broken Ultraman in under 60 seconds. You guys are talking about speed as if he faced an intergalactic being where he needed that kind of speed. This was supposed to be a regular day in the park and he was utterly dog walked, dragged across the ground and kicked in the nuts.
If he broke Ultraman in seconds the mob would still be out with their pitchforks talking about how overpowered Superman is and how unrelatable he is.
Kaycee7: I still wan address a couple of reviews later but the power scaling dey muzz me. I'm wondering whether it's the same movie all of us watched. Ultraman only beat him once in that entire movie
They don't understand the character. They think Superman is just one smash and pound robotic dude that doesn't give a fvck but he isn't. And that's why that speech to lex wasn't cringe to me at all.
only character in the movie who kicks his ass is his equally strong clone, who was basically being fed counters to his (Supes) every move.
He wasn't having any problems with the Kaiju before the Justice Gang stepped in, he took down the Engineer while simultaneously fending off Ultraman, he flattened the Raptors with no problem and he made short work of Ultraman once he was no longer being fed counters to his every move.
He escaped the pull of a black hole.
Only issue I have with his version is his reaction speed which wasnt portrayed as well as Cavill's Supes. I'm sure in other appearances he'll rack up more feats too.
SOZINN: This Superman was the weakest to ever to be released on screen, there's no way this weakling is not getting cooked by characters like Doomsday or Darkseid. Assuming he hit Guy Gardener in that building when he was asked to make a movie, Guy would have mopped the floor with him. There's absolutely no way Green Lantern who has watched Superman for 3 years and knows what he can do will challenge an angry Superman like that unless he didn't rate him.
Also you have to understand that Ultraman in this movie is not Superman's equal. He's a dumbed down version of Superman, Lex Luthor only said he's as stupid as Superman out of spite so beating him is no feat. Lex mentioning a few moves that have to be entered into a computer before sent to his brain is what enables this empty vessel to not only mop the floor with Superman but almost kill him Superman had to go back to get an ample dosage of the Sun only to get whooped again. Oh and if not for metamorpho, dude would have been swallowed whole by a black hole.
Corenswet is no way the weakest Superman iteration on screen when there was Brandon Routh, George Reeves, Dean Cain and Tyler Hoechlin from before Superman and Lois. Tom Welling got stronger with time over 10 seasons.
Corenswet's Supes is not the weakest by any means, he is actually in the upper echelon with the few feats he has and there are definitely more coming.
1) The first Superman movie, he did it 2) Clark Kent time travels in Smallville in several episodes 3) In the JL cartoon series, Superman did it too 4) Yes, Superman did time travel in the comics too
Flash is faster but both of them can time travel.
Time travel Superman was Pre-Crisis Superman and it's not considered as fully canon anymore. You can say Semi canon. Recent iterations of comic book Superman doesn't have that power so you'd be hard pressed to see any version of Superman on the big screen Time travel without any Mechanical or Magical aid.
This Superman was not weak either Blackmanta. Dude pulled himself out of a black hole. The only person that kicked his ass was Ultraman (his clone) and you know he was holding back cos whenever he finds out you can tank punches he ragdolls you. Did it against the Engineer, did it against Ultraman too.
You people can talk about the plot and story all you want but leave the power scaling out of it, there was nothing wrong with it, the portrayal was accurate.
BlackManta: This is my biggest problem with James Gunn’s Superman.
He’s the weakest Superman I’ve ever seen.
The way Superman gets captured so easily in this movie bothers me. Yes, he’s vulnerable to Kryptonite—but it's not that easy to render him powerless. The Man Of Steel would definitely fight back when facing a life-threatening situation.
For comparison, look at how CW Superman in a similar situation, reacted to Kryptonite:
Can y'all stop with his power scaling stuff? Kryptonite is literally a plot device for Superman writers and they have used it differently to suit the story they want to tell.
Sometimes Kryptonite is very Dangerous to Superman and ordinary humans like Batman and silly robots like Metallo can stand a chance against him while in some cases Superman has built up a resistance to it where he can tank it and shrug it off like when he destroyed every Kryptonite in the world or when he ate one like it was a doughnut.
