Remember when people were worried Bruce would romance Ma Kent in the DCEU?
I want them both in and very much alive. Clark’s scenes with his parents giving a bit of advice back in Smallville in various media feel like the safe rooms in Resident Evil, a welcome peaceful place for a brief moment outside of all the chaos going on. I love the dynamic between them and I don’t get that from most other superhero stories so I’m always going to prefer having them in.I'll be extremely dissapointed if they aren't in any capacity.
Even if they are both dead, to not include even one memory of them, would feel like cutting a huge part of Clark Kent as a character out of the story.
Well... fair enough.I watched ZSJL once...and I was super pumped for it. Even getting super high I fell asleep halfway through. Watched the second half the next day and at the end that was when I honestly turned on the entire thing. Until then I really loved MOS and enjoyed the extended cut of BvS...but ZSJL killed all of it. I honestly can't even fathom watching any of them every again...
Perhaps, one day, I will. I intended to check it out back in 2017. But as the release date approached, it became clear that Whedon wasn’t brought on to help finish an almost-completed movie; he was hired to change it. (For me, the studio mandated two-hour runtime was a big red flag. Why a bigshot like Whedon would ever agree to such a constraint remains a puzzle.) Then I began to think I’d just wait for the director’s cut. At the time, of course, there was no earthly reason to believe there’d ever be a director’s cut. But four years later…Why haven't you given the Whedon cut a go? My memory is shaky on this as its been years, but I remember at the time discovering that a lot of my favourite scenes in the film weren't in ZSJL... so id say its worth a watch!
Well... fair enough.
Quite obviously, BvS is an unabashed deconstruction of the two main characters. And for this reason, the film remains controversial. Whereas, ZSJL has a more mainstream and orthodox sensibility — a re-construction, as it were. So it’s interesting that you liked the former (the challenging one) and got turned off by the latter (the more conventional one).

Pa dying is inevitable and I wouldn't mind it honestly because of dramatic effectWe need a 'Pa Kent didn't die' movie for once.
Agreed. If Lex is half as smart as we/he hopes he is, he would never get caught doing anything. He will always have a plan to pin it on someone else.That's the thing about films in general is getting the pacing right. I can literally put the matrix on and be engaged the whole way through that before I know it.. it's the end.
I have been watching movies and tv series forever and what I'm sick of is films/tv that doesn't stand alone.
If this Superman movie fails as a franchise I still want it to be able be its own film from beginning to end and that doesn't mean Lex ends up in prison, Lex is as valuable as Lois and the Kent's.
I would love that since in the comics and cartoons Wayne Enterprises does get into a bidding war for The Planet hence the crossover
I did like the Easter eggs in Man of Steel.I'd so love it if Gunn finds a way to reference things like Intergang, Star Labs, SCU etc without it feeling like forced name dropping.
Wait... no, I lie. I'd even enjoy forced name dropping. 😅
The real April Fool would be dropping the official first look on April 1st and watching fans tear themselves apart debating it's validity 😂Guess we'll have to bear all the April Fool's fake suit reveals 😭
At least by doing that you are hinting at a shared universeI'd so love it if Gunn finds a way to reference things like Intergang, Star Labs, SCU etc without it feeling like forced name dropping.

This would be such a troll move I could see someone like Gunn doing exactly that.The real April Fool would be dropping the official first look on April 1st and watching fans tear themselves apart debating it's validity 😂
