My vacation observation: Californians are slow walkers

Maybe it’s the nice weather. I’m used to the sun causing -10 damage every time I go outside in Vegas so I’m always walking with purpose.

Y’all in Cali just ain’t in a rush

I’d just dial back the amount of characters and subplots, add more time to develop the main cast/themes, and have more scenes of Supes proving his morals to average citizens since the main thrust of the story revolves around their distrust of him.

Would’ve like a scene in the film where Supes addressed the world like this

His reliance on very silly humor can work, but I think since GotG2 he hasn’t learned how to dial things back when needed.
That and I felt a lot of the big emotional moments were a bit unearned since we rush through getting to know the characters

I’ve been done with Snyder’s version for a looooong time. He did some cool stuff but never felt he really liked classic Supes, so I much prefer this new approach

Does one have to be a screenwriter in order to criticize a script?

Was kinda mixed on Superman, but it is refreshing to have a boy scout Supes who is very clearly a good empathetic person who goes out of his way to help people and animals alike.

Just think the film is trying to juggle a few too many elements and Gunn’s writing sensibilities have gotten tiresome

Very rare, original #LordoftheRings (1978) production cel art is now at our ebay shop.
