I realized earlier that I have never watched the Reeve Superman movies as an adult, I just had fond memories of them as a kid, and I'm surprised at just how much they got away with. Best Superman, even if a few of the choices were a little odd (thousands of years travel from Kryton, and twelve years from 18-30 in a weird education dream in the fortress).
>(thousands of years travel from Kryton, and twelve years from 18-30 in a weird education dream in the fortress).
That was deliberate. The bible doesn't cover Jesus youth, so Superman youth had bot glossed over as well with the explanation that Jor-El was training him.

Julian Brooks
It was also stupid. Jor-El babbling about Einstein before the fucker was even born.
Joseph Taylor
>it's Christlike so it's bad
Nathaniel Martin
It was done tastefully and with the proper nuance, and was actually a fresh approach at the time.
It is the best.

Kayden Murphy
It had a few degenerate moments, but was good overall.
Brayden Lopez
Are we all just ignoring this
Levi Hall
I don't mind the visually dubious time travel What I mind is that he "alters history" just because muh Lois (whom he doesn't even know that well btw) but doesn't go back to stop Lex from even firing the missiles, so a lot of people still died.
Evan Powell
What does Superman see in Lois in these films anyway? She's an illiterate, pushy, chain smoking, creepy asshole who risks her life to prove he's Superman. Lana in III is far more likable, and unlike Lois, she loves him for being Clark.
Tyler Stewart
That scene was one of the best in all of cinema. Such emotional impact.
Jacob Wright
Now that would've just been playing god.
At least he could rationalize that Lois's death hadn't affected anything else in the original timeline but himself, so when he reversed time to save her he was simply denying the future to unfold in that direction.
Justin Jenkins
Didn't he let the town that he had just saved drown due to a burst dam simply because he wanted to save Lois?
James Miller
Is this Jeopardy? I'd like to play.

it is shit though, Snyder just uses jesus images, fucking Donner and the screenwriter flat out make him into jesus
>Many have noted the examples of apparent Christian symbolism. Donner, Tom Mankiewicz and Ilya Salkind have commented on the use of Christian references to discuss the themes of Superman.[5][9] Mankiewicz deliberately fostered analogies with Jor-El (God) and Kal-El (Jesus).[22] Donner is somewhat skeptical of Mankiewicz' actions, joking "I got enough death threats because of that."[5]
>Several concepts and items of imagery have been used in Biblical comparisons. Jor-El casts out General Zod from Krypton, a parallel to the casting out of Satan from Heaven.[5] The spacecraft that brings Kal-El to Earth is in the form of a star (Star of Bethlehem). Kal-El comes to Jonathan and Martha Kent, who are unable to have children. Martha Kent states, "All these years how we've prayed and prayed that the good Lord would see fit to give us a child," which was compared to the Virgin Mary.[5]
>Just as little is known about Jesus during his middle years, Clark travels into the wilderness to find out who he is and what he has to do. Jor-El says, "Live as one of them, Kal-El, to discover where your strength and power are needed. But always hold in your heart the pride of your special heritage. They can be a great people, Kal-El, and they wish to be. They only lack the light to show the way. For this reason above all, their capacity for good, I have sent them you, my only son."[5] The theme resembles the Biblical account of God sending his only son Jesus to Earth in hope for the good of mankind. More were seen when Donner was able to complete Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut, featuring the fall, resurrection and his battle with evil. Another vision was that of The Creation of Adam.

>he thinks Snyder's jesus references are worse than Donner's
what a fucking pleb
Jacob Long
No, see, he didn't change what his past self did - he simply displaced himself back in time so he could be at two places at once.
Aaron Edwards
>he doesn't think Batman V Superman Dawn of Justice League is the kinoest film to ever exist
Andrew Bailey
Yeah, but Snyder's name is SNYDER, which automatically makes his worse. Especially since they're paying us to hate these new movies to prevent them from making any more money. Duh.
In truth, Jesus parallels aren't inherently bad and people just use them as an excuse to hate. Mostly just triggered atheists.
Henry Long
How do you think a Superman movie that's more strongly rooted in him being a Moses analogue would go?
