No one cares about the small fraction of "purists". Man of Steel was a damn good movie and Superman had literally no choice but to kill Zod. Wtf else was he gonna do? They had nowhere to keep him contained.

When Kal-El killed Zod by snapping his neck to keep his eye beams from killing that family, he got up and walked out of the theater.

"NOPE! **** YOU, **** THAT, **** THIS STUPID ****ING BULLSHIT DUDE. NO ****ING WAY. NO WAY. NO ****ING WAY. "

He ranted all the way up the aisle on the way out.

The idea that Superman does not ever kill people was apparently an unbreakable tenet for him.

Keaton’s Batman was awesome. Supergirl was awesome. I’ve long wondered why the creative team decided to have Flash run so weird and it finally paid off with the one joke when he tried running without powers. Still think it’d be cooler if he ran with normal form!

I think the younger/older Flash dynamic actually worked well. The character is ****ing annoying. He’s not even lovably awkward like Peter Parker. He’s just a weirdo. Near the middle it was nice to see older Flash unload on younger Flash about being a douche and it was cool to see younger Flash get serious at the end when it came to protecting their mom.

The CGI was some of the worst I’ve ever seen in a movie of this prominence.

I also don’t understand the time travel in this one. I just don’t understand how going back in time changes the past as well as the future. Like, I understand how Flash saving his mom can lead to changes in the timeline from that point moving forward, but how does him going back to save his mom also change the timeline to having Superman dead, Wondee Woman not around, Steve Schultz (or whoever) playing Marty McFly? That just doesn’t make any logical sense.

Then it seems a little strange that the message did a complete 180 at the end. Whole movie is basically about how you can’t change the past, blah blah. Then at the very end they change the past just enough to save Flash’s dad! Wtf. I guess they’re leaning into the whole “some things are just fixed moments in time” thing there.

The babies in the first scene were awful looking. Then in the time traveling scenes it showing different realities and they all looked like cartoons. It was ****ing ridiculous.

Haven't seen it; might catch it when it ends up on HBO. I just pretend that movies after Superman 2, a bit like Alien 2, just didn't really happen. I'm adding Shazam 2 and WW 2 to the pretend list as well.

I sort of liked the CW Super Shows until it turned into the teenage angst and woke network. I'm all for attractive women in nice outfits however do all men really need to be either stupid, a douche or a bad guy?

The flashback scenes bothered me less. That can be hand-waved away as a stylistic choice.

The baby CGI was just horrible.
