I feel stupid since I've seen My Adventures With Superman and yet I was like "... yo hold on that is some bullshit!" I had completely forgotten it had been done before and even in the comics at one point. Naturally I got worried the movie was gonna undo it. I really didn't want the movie to undo it, but ofc it was going to... and it didn't! Which was hype af, because it's the main idea I really liked about this new Superman.

Yeah! That would've worked as a funny scene even if they never made another DC movie after this. It wasn't just an obvious "CHECK OUT THE SUPERGIRL MOVIE" marketing trick, that shit was just funny and made sense in the context of the film. But I will also give them props for how much of a slam dunk way to sell the Supergirl movie it is to just tell everyone "KRYPTO IS IN IT!"

I'm grateful the credits scenes didn't set up some nonsense for the future. The middle one was a cute shot, and the post was funny. Better that way than prioritizing whatever bullshit they've got in later films.

They're on the ground broken, but they get better.

Nah they're just fun details, they have almost nothing to do with the movie.

71/100 after 42 reviews on MC, this'll hold on really well.

Having seen the movie I bet they didn't whiff. I still don't know how a regular audience will take it.

71 on MC after 35 reviews is very good. (also I really liked the movie btw).

lol these all sound like very Gunn-ian things rightfully getting taken out of the movie. Surprised a lot of them made it to testing to begin with. Murphy being straight up fired is also surprising I assumed it was scheduling shenanigans. I was actually close to interviewing Gunn and that was a question I had 😶

Oh yeah I was wondering if the Star Wars-ian text was a late addition, I totally get why people would be disoriented. I like what they do with the 3 gimmick, but there's only so much you can do to help regulars out after you've already shot the movie. Do you know if the test screenings later on improved it in any notable way?

@ViewerAnon btw how did you take the opening 15-20 minutes? I ended up really liking how it was done (felt A New Hope-ish), but I wonder how a general audience will take getting dropped into what feels essentially like a second act right at the top.

Krypto attacks Lex basically like Hulk attacks Loki.

It feels like Gunn was flinching right at the end, very unnecessary for a movie I was really enjoying up until then. Some other writer (probably Moffat to make it about Doctor Who) could've done it with a speech, Gunn couldn't.

Superman's speech at the end fell very flat for me

The answer made me very satisfied
