I'm just saying that the logic has a logical conclusion, and fictional narratives tend to have patterns. Bad guy got killed in the last movie? Probably means a larger death in the sequel, because these things always get bigger and not (generally) smaller. Next thing you know, he killed the bad guy in every movie... and then he's just another action hero. I like that audiences expect something different from Superman - it means he presents narrative challenges for writers, sure, but it also means he fills a niche that others don't.In Batman's case, he doesn't know the full extent nor was he sure. He was on an investigation regarding the bat of Gotham. So he gave him a fair warning to knock it of. And he isn't willing to be judge, jury and executioner. That doesn't mean he wouldn't be one if he was forced to for the sake of others around him. There is big difference. Its like this I won't kill, generally. But, if i am put in a situation like war or i have to kill to save the life of my loved ones. I might or i might wimp out. That isn't a willing choice but the one anyone could make when he is pushed. Superman isn't a guy who kills generally. But, push comes to shove he will to save lives. He isn't a utilitarian. I have said this. He tries to go the middle route.
Yep - which is why I go after the work, not the man (beyond saying he shouldn't do Superman projects again). My view about his perspective on the character is derived from his work and his reactions to criticism, not anything personal about him - and if I've given any other impression, btw, I apologize as that wasn't my intention. I'm sure he's lovely as a person, and I'm sure people enjoy working with him. And I enjoyed 300 and would never take that away from him. Everybody has their strengths/etc, and I just don't feel cinematic Superman is one of his.I have no problem with constructive criticism. But clearly zack has many issues. From what i heard, he is very decent. All his coworkers seem to love him. Personal attacks are just unwarranted.
Honestly, I enjoy almost all eras for what they are. When the introspective stuff was a bit too "all-consuming" were times I've never cared for (not that I don't like any of it, just when it's overbearing imo), but any of the rest I can roll with on their own merits.Jurgen's is ok. His writing and most of the 90's just isn't my era. It feels dated for me. But, strangely golden age i love. Silverage i like many wacky stuff and moore's stories.
Interesting! And I do very much like the sound of that. I think my version of that is the Golden Age/Fleischer idea of "grit and determination" with is a very 20th century American (not only that but the association is there) folklore thing. I'd love to see that old-school determined spirit find it's way to live-action Superman - we haven't really had it (certain scenes aside) since George Reeves.I didn't mean always smile. I meant, Smile while saving the day. Allmight smiles especially when things get tough to reassure people that they can count on him. that its gonna be alright. to QUOTE-"Fear not citizens.Hope has arrived". Its cheesy but, allmight is the only one who can pull that off as a badass. He is the goldenage superman in essence in a different world. Btw in story, allmight immigrated to America from Japan and started his hero career in America. Then went back.
