Isn't the dog Superboy's? That looks fucking awesome, btw.
Yeah, the way he was traditionally drawn in the comics that’s definitely what he looked like. I think even that Superpets animated thing from a few years ago possibly depicted him as pibble-type dog, though kind of small.
Snyder is a fucking hack and needs to go away & never come back.
His JL2 proposed script was *beyond* retarded...which is saying a lot for him.
Snyder got lucky with a couple films, but everything else he touches is a pile of ass - crazy visuals, grandiose spectacle, a fucktarded story (typically with characters that don't resemlbe the originals), the most horrid versions of popular songs you can find, and enough slow-mo to actually reverse aging.
Crazy thing is people (including myself) absolutely loved 300. I caught part of it again a few months ago, and it's the same Snyder formula he uses in EVERY movie - we just didn't realize it at the time.
Are you thinking of Bryan Singer?
nope . that is a different pedo

We will probably see this sometime over the weekend. I have some misgivings about it, as stated somewhere above, but I’m also almost obligated to see it because in some respects it’s the version of Superman I’ve always wanted to see on film but which only existed in Max Fleisher’s cartoon version of the 1940s, harkening back to the original comics concept of the character as having some vulnerabilities not tied to exposure to Kryptonite.
Wife wants to see it because Nathan Fillion is in it and Allen Tudyk voices one of the robots. And the dog, even though it’s purely CGI.

I watched this.
Not bad. Not great.
The wokeness was a bit overrated. I'd say it was more of a compassionate theme versus a woke one, as it relates to the "woke" aspects that were reported. It didn't come across as shoehorned or cheap, I guess. It fit the story and pulled the strings slightly.
The bigger issue for me was that Gunn's irreverent style doesn't fit Superman well. He powers him down in this movie, Superman is injured and beat up more than once in the movie. Supergirl is not going to go over well if their plan revolves around how she appears in this movie.

Agree with all of this.
I was kinda "meh", honestly. It doesn't really set anything up aside from just a few lines of text at the beginning of the movie, then just starts. It felt like walking into a movie 20 minutes after it started and you were trying to catch up to what was going on. Thing is, then I looked down, realized an hour had passed, and I was still kinda trying to catch up.
Hard to explain.
I'll agree with the woke elements. I saw something about how Gunn had Supes call himself and "immigrant" and that made me seriously groan. Except, unless I completely missed it during the big monologue...it didn't happen. Supes never called himself an "immigrant".
The twist on who Ultraman ended up being could be seen a mile away...or at least, I did. Not too tough to figure out.
There were obvious parallels with Russia / Ukraine and certain famous corporate leaders, but it wasn't as insufferable as you'd think it might be.
Supes having his ass handed to him for the majority of the movie was a bit much, though. Except for very extreme situations, Superman is supposed to be the ultra boy scout good guy - that's his gimmick...not being an underdog. And that's how he was portrayed in most of the movie.
