Excellent retrospective gents! The godlike aspect of Supes is the character's biggest drawback. The whole Kryptonite gambit is so limiting. I prefer stories where they get to Superman emotionally through his loved ones etc. but they are a lot harder to setup.
That is why Spidey, even over Batman, resonates more for me. Peter Parker is just an ordinary guy with extraordinary powers. A true underdog.
Hey folks, as an early Easter present from myself and Jamie Williams I proudly present another dose of 'MovieMoan' with visual YouTube enhancement.
This time, we take a look at my personal favourite set of movies; the Superman films (it's certainly the set of films I know more about than any other). Unlike other movies series such as POTC where we can only bitch about bad writing and over-spending, Superman provides a huge kaleidoscope of topics to discuss and we pretty much cover it all in this set of videos. I really hope you enjoy them as I'm pretty proud of these ones:-
Part 1: Adoration of Superman The Movie and bitching about Superman II.
