My point is that Marvel's first movie in the plan was a borderline bomb. - Inigo Oct 29, 13:22 3
- I honestly expect (spoil) - Spawn the Impaler Oct 29, 13:35
- Actually, wasn't Hulk #2? There's a spoils - Will Hunting Oct 29, 13:23 1
  - Err, you're right. Iron Man was May 2008. Hulk was June of 2008. -- nm - Inigo Oct 29, 13:32
you guys put WAY too much stock on throwing this out there every time. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 29, 13:16 20
- Only because it is rather blatantly important. -- nm - Spawn the Impaler Oct 29, 13:21 19
  - only to a select few, apparently. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 29, 13:21 18
    - That is why it did, what, 60% of the last DC movie BO? -- nm - Spawn the Impaler Oct 29, 13:24 9
      - I am 100% certain the BO had nothing to do with the way the movie ended. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 29, 13:25 8
        
        But the overall WOM about the tone? Of course it did. -- nm - Spawn the Impaler Oct 29, 13:34 7
        
        IIRC, I did not hear anything about the tone, per se. I did hear that it was more Batman and less Rainbows. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 29, 13:35 6

        eventually, sure. - groiny Oct 29, 13:40 4
        
        But see, Superman is as far from a God to us as is possible. He is the best of what we strive to be. - Spawn the Impaler Oct 29, 13:42 3
        
        eventually, sure. - groiny Oct 29, 13:45 2
        
        But he could have saved that family in at least a half dozen ways that did not include what he resorted to. -- nm - Spawn the Impaler Oct 29, 13:46 1
        
        how? in the split second he had to decide? -- nm - groiny Oct 29, 13:46
    - If Superman being a big blue boyscout isn't important to you, then you've completely missed the point of the character. -- nm - Focused, Non-Terminal Repeating Phantasm Oct 29, 13:23 7
      - Superman in 1950? sure. Superman in 2014? notsomuch. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 29, 13:23 6
        
        Yep, you don't get it. Superman isn't Superman unless he's a completely idealistic man. - TWuG Oct 29, 13:37 3
        
        Or closer to the point, if Batman carried a gun. -- nm - Spawn the Impaler Oct 29, 13:40 1
        
        which the Nolan Batman films never even brought up. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 29, 13:41
        
        it does not matter if I get it. What matters is that makes him a very hard character to make interesting. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 29, 13:39
        
        one of the best comics ever (Action Comics 775) disagrees with you -- nm - Beaker Oct 29, 13:35 1
        
        the world in 2014 is a much different world than it was when Superman started. - groiny Oct 29, 13:38
