Drinker's Chasers - That Disastrous Superman Reveal
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 май 2024
- James Gunn's first official image of his new Superman didn't exactly go down well with fans. In fact, its become the object of mockery throughout the internet. But is it simply a misunderstood take, or does it point to bigger problems with Gunn's DCU?

Superman looks like a depressed construction worker getting ready for a job he hates at 4 am...
I'm a construction worker and it's exactly what came to mind immediately
Just your average Amazon employee back to the warehouse for some modern, recreational serfdom
He's pulling himself up by his bootstraps
I don't think construction work is the the low of the low, do some actual research or please stop.
one can almost listen to "f*ck", as he finally wears the boots, then a second "f*ck", when he tries to standup, a fina F8cuk when he finallly stand up.
I will NEVER forgive Hollywood for NOT giving me a Cavill Superman that was a positive and happy Superman. He was so PERFECT. If only he had been given a script where Superman actually LIKED being Superman.
This. The last thing I want to see is yet another GrimDark, Zach Snyder Superman, who doesn't give a crap about anything.
In that pile of garbage that was the Justice League movie, there was a glimpse of what could've been. It was definitely not something that came from Snyder. For all his flaws, Joss Whedon could've given us a Superman that brings hope. In the wrong hands, even diamonds turn to sht.
Hollywood? They might suck, but Snyder is the asshat that didn’t understand the character. Pretty sure after people told him, he doubled down and continued to bastardize Superman out of spite.
He did. I mean, in his first flight, in MoS, he was almost crying he was so happy. He was also cracking wise, later in the film.
In BvS, after he saved the girl from the fire, he smiled at her parents.
Those are just a few examples. There were others.
I don't think I ever saw a live-action superhero like that, other than the Christopher Reeves movies and the (glorious) Batman tv series. You can only have either broody and miserable or sardonic douche cracking jokes.
Remember when Cavill said the new Superman would be patriotic, positive and uplifting, then he was fired. Remember that? Now this Gunn sneak peek.
If you think he was let go for saying that you’re lost in the sauce.
@@user-xr7fi6dy1w Of course not, but look what's coming.
@@user-xr7fi6dy1w as someone with zero interest in these films I don’t get the impression jimmerhardy is actually saying that is the reason but it’s perfectly reasonable to suggest a correlation between the two incidents.
@@hotpotato4027 I like movies, this channel just hates on movies. That’s how he drives clicks. People should check out redlettermedia. They don’t do audience capture.
@@hotpotato4027that's a load of nonsense
Generous interpretation: Superman's having a Mr. Incredible moment.
"No matter how many times you save the world, it always manages to get back in jeopardy again. I feel like the maid. I just cleaned up this mess, can't you keep it clean for ten minutes?!"
Perhaps. But given that it's an in-between-takes photo it's the actor that looks that way. In that moment he's not playing Superman, he's just a guy with an acting job.
@@justinm2697 That context doesn't come across in the photo. He's not sitting in a "backstage" environment, or with other staff, or next to filming equipment, or anything to break the illusion. Releasing this specific photo for PR was foolish.
@@Hypershell What's foolish is people negatively judging one picture that isn't even bad.
@@CorruptDemocratsJ6 The background is bad. It creates a bad synergy. If the actor was sitting in front of a black curtain, I might have agreed with you.
Let's pick Cavill's stunt double instead of Henry himself.
Discount Cavill
Tbf Cavill hasn’t been in anything decent himself since Man From Uncle
It looks like an AI trained on Cavill.
@@firstlast9846 Fans like him though. He isn't in things because of his stance on how brands should stick to it's lore and be authentic. He represents fandom.
The stunt double is cheaper. I would do the same. Ahah
Guy has that depressed, defeated Luke Skywalker Last Jedi 1000 yard stare.
that what I think this is too. this film will be yet another American hero that will be another "ho hum maybe my time is done, I should step aside for this stronk independent wahmen/brown person, and just go die somewhere" type of movie.
If you knew the shit show that you were heading into, you would to. Lol.
Dude I am so...white... i am sorry I have to be here...sigh lmao
The Thousand Island Stare.
He's just putting his boots on
a brand new already-defeated looking Superman.....
What we wanted: Alex Ross painting of Superman smiling as he rips open his shirt to reveal the S.,..what we got:"sigh, gotta make the donuts, again...."
It looks like he hates his 9-5 job. That’s something we do. We don’t want to see that in our superheroes
The sad truth is that anything in life can feel tedious once it becomes a routine; even saving the world.
its just a set photo lmao
Wasn't that literally Cavill's Superman, though? He took his heroism as some sort of burden he sulked about all the time.
@@jacksonlogger Exactly. It's just to show the costume and the actor. These streamers really did milk this one.
Thats literally just 1 photo lmao
Cavill was perfect for the role ..
Huge mistake not giving him another shot at it ..
He wasn't perfect. He looked the part but in DC movies his acting is lackluster aside from a scene or 2.
Get over it.
@@timneptune198 Henry Cavill is a good actor though, so if he seems bad in the DC movies it's probably down to bad directing or some other factor.
@@timneptune198 THIS.
Mate, he had like 3 or 4 chances, and he blew it every time. He cannot act.
Can't take a 50 years old dude acting like a teenager seriously. James Gunn, Taika Waititi and Zack Synder.
How does Snyder act like a teen?
@@scottbarbour9745 because he's like the Dane Cook of filmmaking.
@@scottbarbour9745just look at him? dude dresses like a teen, all tatted up and heavy on the Just-For-Men hair dye. 😂
So this is what the Temu version of Henry Cavill looks like, I see...
He's perfectly captured the "I hate my job" look that Superman is renowned for..... Oh wait a minute!
Superman probably hates parts of his job
Womp womp
It looks like someone asked an AI to draw "brooding Superman" and then tried to replicate that with a real actor, a store-bought costume, and Adobe Photoshop.
Probably AI did a better job
When I saw the thumbnail I thought it was AI 😳
Yep, not just an AI image, but an AI image of Cavill's Witcher character as Superman, just moments after he dropped the iconic F bomb.
It really does look like an AI pic
@@JustapErsonWhat does an AI photo look like exactly? How does this compare?
If they had replaced the image in the window with a solid block of Chroma-Key green or old blue screen it would have told viewers it was a behind the scenes image and it wouldn't be taken so badly.
Maybe it was the LED volume behind him, and that's just what was cued up on the screen at that time?
Man looks tired and like he hates his life.
"ANOTHER space laser? Come on Luthor! It's 5am gosh darn it! Guess I'll have to say Metroplis AGAIN. "
It's tough times my friend.
Prob gonna be relatable then
False. He looks like he's been in a big battle yet still has a tinge of levity on his face despite the circumstances.
Maybe his only son died in Vietnam and his wife left him and he's an alcoholic and nobody respects him as an archeology professor. Maybe he just got a visit from his "god daughter" that's never been seen or mentioned before just now. Maybe he just wants some of that tasty green space cow milk straight from the teet. So many possibilities.
This joke might have worked with Peter Quill. James Gunn is the wrong guy for a Superman movie.
Yes, I think you got it. It's just Gunn trying to make a joke at Supe's expense. Not gonna work. Not watching, not even in the high seas.
Nah
Even if comedy was appropriate, Gunn has lost his creativity. He's a yes man now.
On the contrary I think Gunn is exactly the right guy they needed 10 years ago to helm the DCU. But its too little an too late now I think. the DCU reboot is dead on arrival
I personally like James Gunn's weird/cruel humor and even I think he's in the completely wrong movie here. Very prideful (or greedy) of him to take over the project instead of delegating it.
The problem is, this is something we should NEVER see! Especially with a laser in the background, he would be moving so quick he'd NEVER be in focus. There has to be some indication he's moving at an insane speed or he just seems like he doesn't care.
Sounds like One Punch Man where Saitama is disappointed that he has no real challenge. The villain can always be defeated with one punch.
James Gunn’s run will go down as one of the most epic failures in cinema history.
Why??? Tell me why??? Give me good arguments
@@tomgu2285 DC fans like serious and adult, but uplifting and heroic.
James Gunn does goofy and funny with moments of sorrow and depression. I don’t think his style will mesh well with these heroes.
Henry's Superman = Buffed AF.
David's Superman = Padded AF.
David is literally bigger tho at 6’6 and 240lbs
@@esaahmed786 hes 6'4
There is pictures of him being buff go look that up
David's muscles are natural.
Nah he worked out, it just looks Ike the suit was too big for him and not properly tacos him.
Drinker is right. We dont need another Taika Waititi like Superhero movie where you have an apocalyptic setting and the hero makes jokes. Superman was always a serious hero who carried the whole weight of the earth on his shoulders. Literally.
Actually he's a serious character, but in a light hearted tone unlike batman.
@@rommelbengaliI think that’s a better description of him. He’s a man where in any situation he tries to be positive and who understands the full seriousness of the situation but does so with a positive attitude.
He's serious, but he's also an optimist and he possesses pretty much every one of the classical virtues. The only internal conflict he struggles with is the fact that he always has to pull his punches.
@@alexvesper7820nah read some more comics, he also struggles with the burden of being Superman, the pressure of perfection and the ideal of Superman. Pulling his punches isn’t the only internal struggles he has, that would make him boring and not relatable
@thegotspod the point is that he's not an antihero, he's a hero. Modern studios have forgotten how to do heroes.
It's synthetic Kryptonite Superman from Superman 3.
Don't worry. He always gets there in time.
To be fair, he might be putting on the suit at superspeed. Its just that the camera speed is clocked in at 1/1000000 sec
Or his sock got bunched up in his boot and needs to fix it right away.
He has that look on his face like an Amazon Warehouse employee on a Monday morning getting ready for his 12 hour shift.
The look of a FOXConn factory worker when they realize that new suicide nets were just installed 😂
This is what an Amazon warehouse worker looks like when he has to pretend to fiddle with his boot to disguise the fact that he's peeing in a bottle.
James needs a better PR/ marketing team. Assuming he has one. Every decision he has made since announcing Henry's firing has been polarizing.
Ouch, good point.
Yeah, sad.
Gunn has always had an issue with taste. He has niche humor to put it lightly and often his tastes are not what the general audience likes. GotG is an outlier because of Disney/Marvel Studios reigning him in. I thought his The Suicide Squad, without oversight, had significant issues with the humor and characterization of many characters. Gunn unchecked is not good in my opinion and having him in charge of DC is a ticking time bomb, especially with popular characters like Superman and Batman.
This is a chronic case of not reading the room.
@@tristandevlin6667That is a big problem of WB. They are VERY director-friendly and seem to let the directors do what they want unchecked. That works for directors with a crystal clear vision. But some directors. Synder, Gunn, Taika. Need to be kept on a short leash.
There's been too many "disastrous" things that turned out okay and too many "amazing" first looks that turned out to be total trash...it's too early to tell anything.
I don't why people are losing their minds off of this image.It's just an image.When the full trailer get release.People will see the suit in action.
Yeah it's weird. If they hate the director or whatever, fine, but Supes is my favorite hero, he's OG. Hopefully the acting, writing, and directing are top notch.
Funny how people complained about Cavill's Superman looking too serious and depressed. So James Gunn gives us a dollar store version of Henry Cavill but even worse.
I don't see it. It looks better than henry cavill suit which was god awful
Dude. It's a photograph. Relax.
Gunn suit looks brighter,
Is more interesting looking
Trunks
@@spenser9908 Dude I am relaxed. Still doesn't change the fact the suit looks very cheap.
@@mariobadia4553 I see it. Looks definitely worse than Henry Cavill's suit. Heck i'd pick the Superman from the CW over this.
(Killer Klowns from Outer Space are destroying the city)
Woman: ''Help! someone save us! Is there a hero out there who can help?''
Superman: (putting on his boots) ''Hold on, I'm coming''
Henry Cavil: I would but.. James Gunn fired me
If I were rich, you’d be making this movie. ONLY studio demand, the Dickie’s Killer Klowns theme plays at least three times.
I would LOVE if they had Superman vs the Killer Klowns! That would be perfect for Gunn and soo absurd that it might have worked!
Nobody: NO. GOODBYE HENRY CAVILL AFTER BAD MOVIE HENRY CAVILL 2024
Then the witcher turns away and gives out a frustrated....f......uuuu......cccckkkkkk.
"Hold on, I need two hands to pull my boots up. They always get stuck around the heels, it's a real issue in my life."
I still want to give this movie a chance. People said the same thing about Robert Pattinson’s Batman and that movie ended up being great.
I didn't like The Batman. I think I turned it off after about 15 minutes.
When it comes to DC movies, lots of people thought Keaton's Batman would suck, Heath ledger would not be convincing as Joker and no one will ever top Jack Nicholson as the best live action J (until that infamous first picture dropped and everyone got excited), and who else...
I know that Nolan's Bane became a biiiit of a meme these last few years (his treatment in the Harley Quinn show was a nice way to get in the joke so to speak), but he's still been a pretty liked character for years... more than expected when Tom Hardy was announced.
Everyone expected a huge dude, I mean obviously Tom is pretty damn big but it's still Bane we're talking about.
i thought they made a better Bane in the show *Gotham* 5th's season, played by Shane West. Definitely worth a watch, that last season is kinda controversial in the fandom but no one can deny that it's an entertaining one.
Why didn’t you like it?
@@aldunlop4622 because you want duh CGI an duh big boom noizes!
@@TheGoldenCapstone not me man, I’m the opposite. I like good stories and likeable characters. CGI is great if’s done well, but it’s no replacement for story. In fact most of the movies I like have great practical effects. CGI should only be used if it’s impractical or if it enhances the story.
When you do Superman reboot, make it a period piece like in the 50s where there is no technology that has facial recognition so eyeglasses make sense. Never make any tie ins with other DC characters. Never make Lois lane another babe boss character but more of a damsel in distress.
The depiction of Superman in this photo seems to portray him as a reluctant and a sad character. DC already has a dark and brooding hero. His name is Batman. To morph Superman into a morose character simply makes him redundant. There is a reason, nearly 50 years since Christopher Reeve first donned the tights, that people still look so fondly on his portrayal of Superman. He represented the exact antithesis of this cynicism. It is time that DC recapture the optimism that Reeve so fully embodied when they portray Superman.
Superman is optimism and idealism in its best form.

This is a candid set photo, not part of the movie. You're reading a lot more into it than necessary.
@@ShakerSilver No it isn't. Candid set photos don't have special effects.
@ShakerSilver You mean with the candid pink laser firing off in the sky behind him?🤣
On the one hand... It's JUST a picture....
On the other.... It's not a positive picture... I think they definitely misjudged this from a marketing pov
I think this would look one hundred percent better if they left out the giant laser in the background...
Its definetly a photo made for magazine promotion, but what James Gunn has made clear on what comic runs are inspiring this movie, particularly All Star Superman make me feel like this Superman movie will head in the correct direction, especially when we see it in action through Trailers.
While he didnt look it, i thought the actor in the CW series carries the charm and correct mannerisms for a good Superman
You know the people that dress up outside the Chinese Theater in Hollywood and pose for photos and "ask" for tips, who look like they sleep in said costumes? This guy.
WB Execs: Zack, your budget for the supersuit is $350,000
WB Execs 2024: Sooooo things have been rough. Your budget for the suit is $68.03….
This would be funny if James Gunn's Superman didn't have a reported budget of 270+ Million.
Bigger than both MoS and BvS.
@@kingkiller5325these budgets are out of control.
It's all money laundering
Gunn: Nice! I can spend the other $18.04 on lunch!
Exec: No need, we're already spending $150M on catering for this one.
@@Jasper_Silva 😅
You have it backwards. After convincing a jellyfish to suck up all the pink light from Metropolis, a tired Superman is taking off his boots.
Someone made an edit to this picture making Superman look happier with a cleaner suit with a sunny day in the window with "SUPERMAN" proudly showing in letters along the top and it looks genuinely inspiring like a true Superman getting ready to be the hero of the people on a low stakes day.
*thumbnail*
Superman just putting on his supersuit while Vegeta uses Galick Gun.
Audience: We don't like brooding superman.
DC/WB: We replaced Henry Cavill with a new brooding superman.
Cavill was the best Superman after Christopher Reeve
And this panel talked all that sh*t about Zack Snyder, just to end up with this. smh
Just casually putting his boots on while Metropolis is being destroyed.
Nah. You're reading into it. Wait and watch the movie.

Very clever reveal, that isn't how the suit will look during the film, nobody knows the context of the scene, people need to chill over a still image jesus.
I don't hate it to be honest. Also I think James Gunn knew the memes were coming so he did this to help get them out of the way.
Giant pink jellyfish laser destroying the city:
"Let me slowly put on my boots even though I'm faster than a speeding bullet." 😑
Why isn't this a still frame of him moving at super speed? A moment in time captured? You want to see blurs and distortion? The laser in the background is just sitting there not moving?

Replaced cavil with a clone, replaced Superman with IMSOBASEDMAN,

You do understand this is just a teaser? We don't even have a clear, bright look of the suit. Why do you think this will be the tone of the film?
They all look like superman, cavill looks like superman stop with that nonsense
@@MrJJDIZZLE23 lol right. I don't understand that as a criticism. Superman has a look and Cavill fit that look just like every other actor that played the character
@TheForbiddenOne55 dude I'm literally reading a 2011 article where everyone is making fun of the henry cavills superman suit especially because his big ass ridiculous crotch bulge
@@seregagerassimov4864 looks like somberman to me. Jp
thats actually how i picture drinker every time a new movie comes out these days
Yep. He's fumbling around in his boot hoping he's left a bottle of Jack Daniels in there.
They went with Corenswet because he is like, a decade younger than Cavill. They needed someone who can promise a RDJ-length tenure in this role, which Henry couldn't do at this point. Had they hired Henry back they would've gotten 5 - 7 more years out of him, tops.
Thats 3 movies. Thats a decent enough run. But honestly no they could have gotten much more than that, it just would require good writers who knew how to evolve and age the Character.
Discount Henry Cavill in a cheap Halloween suit with padding. No, thank you.
I’m confused, isn’t this suit supposed to be made by his mom, like in the comics?
I don't think Mauler can take that kind of criticism
Cavil isn't superman anymore shut up and get over it
honestly, i prefer this over "spandex", which may look good in comics but not much on live action
@@Spillow-C agreed
It's literally one shot and the fandom is loosing their mind.
Seriously, you see this shit all the time in nerd culture. People get one screenshot and think they have the whole fucking plot figured out. Everyone needs to calm the hell down and at least wait until we get something actually substantial before they call the movie shit.
@@tylertheguy3160agreed. And you know, this is actually genious marketing.
Every reactionary person like Critical Drinker who likes to milk the recent news/events is talking about this suit. That generates attention, because negativity is always more valuable on the Internet.
We don't even have a normal and clear look on the suit, and people are already talking about it.
Looks like superman just watch rebel moon part 2.
lol
He looks like he's contemplating whether he has enough milk left in his fridge to go with his cereal tomorrow morning.
They’re just playing on that old saying: “a villain can laser around the world before the Superman can get its boots on.”
Everyone in Scotland:
"Chill son, it's just the Northern Lights."
Couldn’t they get a suit to fit him?
What do you mean? The suit fits him.
He had the impression that he was given a suit three sizes larger than it should be.
You know they edit it to fit after shootibg
remember the cavil shots that were shown online and the biggest complaint was the lack of red undies? the dude was smiling like a dork (lovingly) and of course the awesome shot behind the bent safe door where he looked like he was ready to throw down. this though? doesn't matter who's playing him, its a bad look for superman overall.
Shouldve released an image where he is flying in the sky and looking down and giving a subtle smile. That wouldve been better.
There’s a shot of Christopher Reeve as Superman flying over Earth, smiling as he looks at the audience. That’s the sort of moment I would have liked to see, not this depressed dad working to pay child support.
@@tonyclements1147yeah, they shouldve releases a image where he is in the sky and looks down and gives a gentle smile or they shouldve released an image where he rips his shirt open to suit up if they wanted to be abit serious.
@@vineetdesai6396
Exactly, the symbol showing under the shirt as he pulls the shirt away could have sold it better even if it is a strange decision to use the Kingdom Come suit when this is supposedly a younger Superman.
@@tonyclements1147 Rumor has it that it's going to be reverse kingdom come or perhaps they are building to Kingdom Come as a Endgame like event. Looking at the plot synopsis:- He is the embodiment of truth justice and the American way, guided by human Kindness in a world that sees kindness as old fashion. Kingdom come delved into these themes similar to the plot synopsis of what this movie is claiming to be.
Cliche is not always a bad thing
That look " Is this world really worth saving?"
Sounds like a bad PR move by James Gunn, this would be something fun to put out after a successful release of a film. "Here's the actor caught up in preparing for his next scene while putting on superman's boots."
At the very least, release several "behind the scenes" photos so that the context is obvious.
Why is the director of the film making PR decisions? Don't the film studios have people that handle that? It seems like we have a single person Writing/Directing/Advertising/Promoting/etc for these movies. Where is all the money going to make these films?
Superman moves at hyper sonic speeds, so while he looks non chalant, he is probably moving at the speed of light
My money's on they're going to "deconstruct" again
It’s hilarious that Gunn thinks that admitting that this is was a candid on set photo taken between takes justifies why it looks bad… the nature of the photo isn’t even what people have a problem with… it’s the suit… it’s hot garbage… plus, if you’re admitting “hey, this isn’t a promotional picture” then why use it for promotion…
Not only that.. but how can anyone hope this is a good movie with a suit like that.. you can’t have a good movie when you’re starting off and moving forward with a suit that objectively bad.
And no, most people aren’t hating because they don’t wanna see another Superman movie. Most people are hating because the suit is horrible and now we’re not looking forward to a movie that we already weren’t looking forward to.. but we had hope, but now that hope is gone cause clearly Gunn doesn’t understand Superman based on what he’s shown here
Gunn is simply lying. There's too much post-production in the image. There's no way it was just a random on-set shot....
Captain America had some lame or cringey suits and all his movies did good.
@@timneptune198 no he didn’t. They started off with the most admired and well known version of the suit and it developed from there naturally throughout the story. Plus that’s Marvel. No one wants a marvel style suit for Superman. Gunn should’ve gone the Captain America route if anything. Start with the most well known and beloved version of the suit and of the character and build off of that. Don’t just jump straight into this iteration with 0 context.. it doesn’t matter if the movie winds up being good, cause you’re killing any anticipation you might have had for it
@@_XR40_the suit is taken just like That,
The background is edited
Yeah, because all "candid on set photos" have giant space laser eyeball thingies in the background...
James Gunn had a beautiful Superman story about his childhood. It's a long story so I'm going to boil down to my fav point. One of Gunn's happiest moments was the day he caught his dad reading one of his Superman comics. I hope that's his passion and the studio doesn't get in his way.
His face just screams "Sigh, time to rescue Metropolis...again."
This picture sums up Gunn. Big shiny action happening in the background. Moody, everyday man hero in the fore. That’s Gunn. It’s not subversion. It’s disrespect. Subversion would be that all that’s happening in the background isn’t actually happening. Disrespect is a character going against their own goals, ideals, or motivations for no good reason.
I thought that's was Zack Snyder thing.
My experience with gun on superheroes is very different than yours. I find that he is a massive fan of the characters and his respectful of their history.
"Metropolis getting destroyed by a purple beam? Wait lemme just put on my boots first slowly."
Dude. You have super speed. You can put your boots in less than a second.
@@Jackfromshack Having unlimited power would make anyone depressed. Imagine being able to fix most of the issues in life for others, and having almost none of them yourself! Much sadness. He's probably listening to My Chemical Romance.
The only thing that would justify a tired superman in my mind is if they go for the angle of caretaker fatigue, which is a phenomenon that happens when you emotionally, mentally, and/or physically exhaust yourself while trying to constantly take care of someone else's needs.
I think the way to have a fresh new take on the character that's still faithful to the source material would be to have the world around him be cynical and jaded and all nihilistic but he is still unwavering and hopeful so gradually over time people start to believe in Superman and what he represents.
Superdisappointmentman.
What's hilarious is there's a sky laser of doom in the background. So not only does everything we can see in regards to the costume look awful, but it's sky lasers again.
Looks like a giant space abortion to me.
At least this one is horizontal instead of vertical.
What a depressing straw to cling on to.
@@taudvore259 lol. I didn't notice that. It's completely different because the laser is going horizontal! Not like in Avengers when it goes up or Suicide Squad when it goes down. Seriously, what would Hollywood writers do if sky lasers weren't a thing?
Easing us into the future when the actual beam from Earth beams up into the sky!
This image of Superman is reflecting the feelings of the individual movie goer preparing to go watch the umpteenth reboot of a character they once loved. Mustering the smallest incling of hope that it may be good but deep down knowing that dissapointment awaits
Well, this picture got you guys talking about it, right? Think a "standard" photo shoot would have garnered as much attention? And he did this all with an "off-the-shelf" snapshot and essentially a free release.
🎯
'All publicity is good publicity' just doesn't apply anymore. People are talking about it, but for all the wrong reasons.
Yes, it's just a single photo, but it's also the audience's first impression. And it's not a good one.
@@ghidorah4695 Will literally not effect the box office in the slightest.
Many, many years ago I always said they should make a "World's Finest" style Superman/Batman movie that takes place in the 40's and has a very optimistic (and cheesy) tone, where Supes and Bats call each other "Chap" or something. Jon Hamm as Supes, and Michael Fassbender as Bats, both bulking up 25-30 pounds of muscle for the role.
That'd be better than what these fools have to offer nowadays.
Good god, no.
There was an animated movie with Batman and Superman world's finest.
@@anthonyclarke2253 That wasn't bad, actually. Pretty decent.
He looks like he has a hang over and struggling out of bed 😂
I love this picture i see so much good stuff here.
1. You can tell he has been in a fight, he is tired, weary, maybe hurt and looks even a little on edge/worried and yet there is a threat and the world needs him so he is putting the boots back on to be the world the hero needs. ther is nothing more superman then that.
2. I love the outfit it is incorpurating the shoulder cape, the henry cavel waffle pattern, a little bit of injustice, the shoulder pads are sick. (PS) James Gun said there is no padding he actully got in good shape for this film.
3.I love the threat in the background looks like a real enemy of the city, maybe braniac?
Superman is putting his suit on to deal with another threat to Metropolis. It's like anyone else getting up in the morning to put their work clothes on. It's got an everyman feel to it, right down to the "just rolled out of bed, kinda want to go back to bed" expression the actor has. It's just a funny, humanizing photo.
TL;DR it ain't that deep.
I mean, at least he has the curl and the red trunks, but I desperately wanted a more traditional costume, like Brandon Routh's suits. Peacemaker looks comic accurate, Supes should, too.
Almost makes me think they wanna tie it into Pattinson's Batman, since that also goes for a more "realistic" look.
Unfortunately, not everything that looks good in comics can look good in live action.
Think of MODOK and the classic Green Arrow costumes from the TV series.
@@ii-mp1sp I'm not gonna disagree with that in general, but Superman in particular works in live action. Reeve and Routh both had costumes that were comics accurate and looked good.
Cant wait until they reveal the kryptonian sky beam DUBSTEP machine 😂
Sick of these movies. All superhero stuff needs to be put on hold for at least a decade.
This is how we put on our shoes. Put on our shoes. Put on our shoes.
So early before the apocalypse!
Burnet’s explanation was insane it doesn’t matter they released it and it sucks.
Lmao he is so fucking stupid just hearing his bullshit drops the iq about 10 points per word
Ive never seen RMB drop the ball so hard. Wtf was that?
@@Brian_Boru I have lots of times... hes always making excuses for things should have heard him go on making excuses for georg Lucas selling out lol his takes almost always suck now
Yeah, it looks like sh*t.
I’ll never forgive them for not giving me at least 3 Cavill movies that centered around ONLY Superman. MoS wasn’t perfect, but it had sooooo much going for it. A second installment could have been so good. They had the most perfect human specimen playing the most perfect superhero and they blew it.
Why would Superman have to put on his boots. In the original Chris Reeve as he was falling his costume would just change into as he falls.
Just give me a minute! (I'm getting my boots on...)
When you haven't had your second cup of coffee and it's time to fight a giant pink jellyfish....
@@MaryRohwer Hahahahaha
Don’t like it. Can’t imagine anyone does.
I do
@@randomcharacter6501Sorry to hear that. Get well soon!
I do. It's not the best suit, but I like it, especially because it's partially inspired by the suit from New 52 era
@@GiovanniAlckmimRusso Well the new 52 suit must’ve looked like shit then, because this does. Lines all over it, weird neckline etc. Nope, not for me.
If I'm sorry to burst you a little echo chamber. But the majority of people actually like it.
Henry Cavil was so good in this role. I would have loved to see him really dive into a Clark Kent role where he can smile, smirk, make jokes, and act like a bit of a nerd. Dude would have killed at that.
This dude as Supes, looks as depressed as the suit hes wearing.
Hired Stanley Anvil instead of Henry Cavil
That one edit of superman looking clean and bright light makes it infinitely better
I remember the days when Clark Kent would step into a phone booth and instantaneously step back out as Superman, not put his boots on like I do when going to my factory job.
Maybe we have to put into account how fast Superman usually changes clothes. In the olden days he literally does it in his superspeed, so this still only shows a blink of an eye. Then his face probably shows decisiveness, focus and awareness of the importance of what lies ahead. A second later he will already be fighting this giant alien eyeball of death ...
This discussion reminds me of the first official photo of Jared Leto as Joker.
Heath Ledger in TDK is UNMATCHED, IMO
He looks like he was interrupted from a nap. Screaming "what the hell" under his breath.
Honestly, that'd be kind of fun as a plot device.
Superman does actually sleep, and it'd be fun for him to wake up at 4:00 am to the sound of space lasers and mumble about it. "God... I didn't even get to bed until 1:00 am. What the heck, man?"
Yeah it looked a little hastily photoshopped but I dug the costume. I think we need to give these guys a little slack for throwing one out to the fans.
I just want a Superman movie where he goes around being a sweetheart and he doesn’t have to stop the end of the world like in every movie.
The first thing I thought of when I saw this image was that shot in The Last Jedi where Rose and Finn are moaning about how to "win" while a giant laser destroys the resistance base in the background.
