SanchoHOST
Like he was on Robin.
SanchoHOST
It felt like, you know that moment in Superman, Man of Steel where everyone's touching Superman?
speaker_8UNKNOWN
Yes.
speaker_8UNKNOWN
Corny.
SantiHOST
You hide.
SantiHOST
Also, he created most of that destruction.
SantiHOST
That's why I didn't like Man of Steel.
SantiHOST
The lack of protection of the city from Superman.
The Critical DrinkerGUEST
Did Batman versus Superman.
The Critical DrinkerGUEST
He did Man of Steel.
The Critical DrinkerGUEST
They're not great.
The Critical DrinkerGUEST
And then Justice League was a disaster.
The Critical DrinkerGUEST
I think what I would say about Snyder is, like him or hate him, he is earnest, and he very much believes in the mythology that he's putting forth.
The Critical DrinkerGUEST
You could argue that he takes it way too seriously, and it's very somber and stuff.
The Critical DrinkerGUEST
But there's a kind of gravitas that comes with it, with something like Man of Steel.
The Critical DrinkerGUEST
And he's going for big themes, doesn't quite manage to pull it off.
Shawn MarekHOST
I know.
Shawn MarekHOST
I could have, you know, I mean, I was in Man of Steel and then I blew up.
Jen StansfieldHOST
I died in Man of Steel.
Shawn MarekHOST
I don't even know if he was an actual character.
Shawn MarekHOST
He was just a guy.
Sean HarrisHOST
But yeah, so I think that, and I watched it again, I watched a different cut and it wasn't, I won't say it was brilliant, but I was a lot more forgiven of it than I was when I saw it when I was tired.
Sean HarrisHOST
Bearing in mind I'd seen The Man of Steel just, I
TosinHOST
mean, it's just...
TosinHOST
I mean, don't get me started on Zack Snyder and his DC movies and how they would release a film and then they'll be like, oh, oh, oh no, but if you watch the longer version with three hours of extra footage, it makes the story make more sense.
John ForemanGUEST
Yeah, exactly.
John ForemanGUEST
And Man of Steel as well.
John ForemanGUEST
And also Pirates of the Caribbean and Gladiator.
John ForemanGUEST
So those big sort of epic...
Anthony DesiatoHOST
In the 1950s, George Reeves embodied the Man of Steel in Superman's first television adaptation, from its gritty black-and-white beginnings to the kid-friendly color years.
Anthony DesiatoHOST
To this day, an entire generation reveres George as their Superman, while for others, the show remains an overlooked underrated chapter in the character's history.
Anthony DesiatoHOST
On this podcast, we bring everyone together as we break down each episode of Adventures of Superman, examining it within the context of the series itself, as well as the larger Superman mythology.
JohnHOST
He's like, oh, I probably will...
JohnHOST
It's like a friend of the show, Bob Rose, thinks Man of Steel is a really good movie, but thinks it's a horrible Superman movie.
JohnHOST
I think that's where my friend Jonathan expects to fall, is that if this is a good movie, he still will be annoyed by the many ways in which it does not address or touch on or whatever.
JohnHOST
So I guess my point is I understand that there's a lot of lore and there's a lot of stuff that that this movie is kind of sidestepping to do its own thing.
RhysHOST
yeah
JakeHOST
nice one he kept that going I was thinking Man of Steel's too well known it's just a bit strange
BillyHOST
to me like I feel like Star Wars isn't the place where you expect to see loads of recognisable faces.
BillyHOST
No, it's not.
John SyracusePANELIST
no. It's before.
John SyracusePANELIST
Speaking of Superman and fathers that give bad advice, Man of Steel, the advice that he gets from his dad is you've got a gift, Roy.
John SyracusePANELIST
but it's not enough.
John SyracusePANELIST
And they echo that later in the movie, but it's just like, hey, my son, you're really gifted, but let me cut you down a size here and say, it's not enough.
ArthurHOST
We'd look at Action Comics number one, probably.
ArthurHOST
The Arrival of Man of Steel.
ArthurHOST
We'd look at Amazing Fantasy number 15, The Arrival of Spider-Man.
ArthurHOST
These one-offs who are so popular, they... demand their own and they become generational figures across again now across media not comics film video games books like Batman and Spider-Man are the sort of two big heavy hitters from DC and from Marvel From there, we'd move into some TV.
