Love ya too Jeff, sadly we’re Coug basketball fans too…

Yeah I think something Nope nails is being about something without being some ornate metaphor. And it uses its variety to great effect in terms of setting up a theme without spelling it out

These characters, especially DC, are more archetypal than anything. Robert Pattinson’s Batman is not my ideal characterization of a young Bruce, but it’s good and I can accept that. I think we sometimes get so caught up in things meeting our standards instead of meeting art where it is

Comics are a weird thing because so many of the vocal fans are about 10 years behind on the nostalgia cycle (comic creators are going back 25-30 years while fans are looking back 10-15) which is an interesting phenomenon but also makes for frustrating discourse because no one is ever happy

I think that’s my issue with so many people who are upset about the El’s in the new movie. I don’t love it either, I like an immigrant Superman, but we’re clearly on this wave of trying to get back to New 52 “sad boy Superman,” which is valid, but I don’t think it’s essential

You can have favorite elements and obviously cannon in the comics should have a bit more scrutiny because it is an ever evolving thing but Superman is a myth. He’s a sci-fi Moses who tries to do good things. Change what you need to in order to tell your story with the concept

Ik the hardest of hardcore Superman fans will hate this but I do feel like kinda the whole point is “Doomed Planet, Desperate Scientist, Last Hope, Kindly Couple” is really all you need. Are the Kent’s dead? Is there a Supergirl or a Super dog? Is Lex a scientist or a businessman? It’s all trivial
