I disagree. Lex can say how dumb the clone is, but this is also Lex we are talking about, so I'm not fully convinced that he couldn't be trained or perhaps have free thought. Instead, Lex created a system where he has to be in control of things, which was Lex's weakness in the film. Superman...

I would absolutely say it's a better movie than the first Reeve film. Reeve is arguably still the best Superman, but the Donner Superman films have rather rough spots and haven't aged as gracefully as some of the classics of the era. I'd much rather have Kal and the Superfriends than the plot of...

Honestly would love a show with just the Planet as the focus and Superman in the background. Clark is around, but it's more about Jimmy, Lois, and everyone else.

We might be reaching the Shift- levels of decency here.

Hm. I mean, that's in this film, but the tone is very different. Like, it is a moment where we think there is going to be a conflict, where he has to choose one or the other. But it's a false conflict; as harrowing as it is, we know that Superman has allies, and his allies are willing now to...

I mean, he beats Ultraman pretty well when Lex's system falls apart (largely because it relies on his direct control rather than putting his faith in someone else). He gets cross armbreaker'd, but once Lex isn't there to give him the good 'ol 236P he's beating him pretty thoroughly. (Personal...

The mid-credits scene felt like a capstone to the movie, just a quiet moment between Supes and Krypto. The end-credits scene felt more like the Shawarma end-credits scene from the original Avengers film, and honestly that worked well enough. I'd rather it be closer to this stuff than mandatory...

Eh, he did feel like that pretty consistently to me. The only person who really "beats" him down is a literal clone of him being controlled by Lex Luthor's voice-activated fightstick. Otherwise most of the fights don't feel like they are risks for him as much as "I need to prevent others from...

Maybe "being kind" is the real punk rock.

Ooof. Can't agree with this. Felt like it was the most true-to-comics version of Lex we've had. Spacey copying Hackman's oddity was okay but was copying a very non-Lex idea of the character, and Eisenberg's Lex is... eh. Even Clancy Brown is almost his own thing. A fantastic thing, mind you, but...

Eh, it happens. I mistyped Athas as "Arthas" twice in a thread where I can't edit it anymore. lol Anyways, was very happy with what we got from this one. In particular, Galt actually getting something and something interesting, as well. The idea of the dead being sort of an everpresent fixture...

I mean, those still are changes. Not talking about the Geb part is certainly a difference, and if WotC didn't talk about slavery in Arthas I'm fairly sure that'd be noticed. But also changing things like Duergar being about contracts rather than slaves and Cheliax having indentured servants is...

In the sense that maybe I have a better understanding of what @Hussar has seen on the board? Sure. Why not? Why can't other people have more experience than yourself in certain areas? Is that simply not possible, or do your experiences trump all? My certainly don't in all cases, but I think in...

No, because I didn't see it as a rant, I saw it as someone expressing their exasperation with a problem they've seen a great many times over the years. I mean, you clearly don't post as much as we do, so I can forgive your ignorance of the matter. You clearly haven't seen the phenomenon like we...

Who is "whining"? Read the first half of the post you quoted, which you oddly enough cut out. @Hussar states it pretty clearly that he is frustrated with something that goes beyond this thread, an attitude of "feelings for me, not for thee" that is pretty obvious to anyone who has been outside...
