the visual cape p0rn in this movie dear god
- arguing the merits of genocide with a ghost – damn the dialogue is so good
- “don’t leave me”- just everything in those scenes with Jenny, Perry, and Steve. I remember watching this in the theater and just..feels
- the three plot threads of the battle have to narratively sink to the lowest part until Kal does his parting the Red Sea and stands up to the World Engine
- “Krypton had its chance”
- And here comes Faora
- She is coming for Hardy
- same, girl
- (Phantom Zone adventures of Faora and Hardy – like even just a teaser of a rumor of the two of them fighting through Warworld off-screen in a hypothetical Green Lanterns space cop adventure film)
- the dialogue everyone rags on but Lois’s ‘all downhill from here’ = ‘i’m cynical but with you maybe i can embrace hope’ and Clark’s ‘i’m an alien and i still don’t know what that means in the greater context of how i can interact with others who know my secret and the wider world’s acceptance/will you accept and embrace all of me?
- ZOD
- The handful of ashes
- I exist only to protect Krypton
- ;A;
- And now I have no people
- the horizontally oriented flight is also cool
- hammering it home- Zod is going to kill all and any humans he can
- ……And now he can fly
- Look at all these hundreds of still standing skyscrapers
- Wayne satellite
- Did not understand that there was a hard no-kill rule for Superman and that this so very remorseful but necessary death (seriously, what cheap cop-out did they want?) would be so controversial. It’s a standard story point
- Lois cradling Clark after that scream of anguish – oh gods ship it
- is it because the story makes it clear this is a bittersweet victory for Clark?
- If the character felt it was more of a win, was not so shaken about Zod’s death, I feel paradoxically the audience would find it as controversial
- this last flashback scene with Johnathon looking on proudly – my heart~
- the last scene- clark on his bike, inspired by Lois, puts on the glasses
- “Welcome to the Planet”
- ha ha
- i love you
- both of you
- and the writer
- and this film
