Right now I'm reciting that statement out loud like Gimli. "And they call it 'a mine'... a MINE...!"

Re: Superman: The Man of Steel (D: Snyder)

So, I take it Superman is taking on a small army of Kryptonians led by Zod as opposed to just three prisoners. I am curious as to how that story unfolds. It is clear Zod and his followers are stopped from taking over Krypton, but I don't think there is a Phantom Zone element this time around. More like they get exiled and forced to leave the planet. Only explanation I can think of as to how Zod and his crew have access to all of the weaponry and tech.

I'm on my phone so I can't post tv spot 8 but goddamn. They're really promoting it really well. One moment with Jor-El just revealed one very interesting bit between him and Zod by what he said. And it was in the present tense when one might it expect it in the future.

Btw does anyone know what the deal behind the first Superman comics having him ankle wings and roman-like laces on his boots?

Roman like laces are probably more like the wrestlers and strongmen of old. I don't remember the wing tips. Thought only Namor had those on his feet.

^ Early superheroes were generally patterned after circus strongmen in costume design, as that is the closest thing to a super being at the time. Hence the wearing of bright colored tights and such.

I don't know but it seems they've unlimited amount of badass footage to unveil. They need to stop making more. They're going to run out at some point.

Honestly I love the marketing so far. Started off very slow and solemn and they have increased the action each time, making us want more. Brilliant.

They'll run into the Furious 6 problem where every action beat and climax was promoted in trailers and TV spots.

Re: Superman: The Man of Steel (D: Snyder)

We've been over this before, modern trailers ruin major plot points. I tend to stay away, sticking to the first teaser for just a taste.

Who the fuck wants to watch an entire encapsulation of the film in 2 minutes?
I suppose the majority of short attention span nitwits that frequent the multiplexes.

I've managed to only catch the original "Deadliest Catch" trailer. I'm looking forward to being surprised in the theater.
