It's Only the End if You Want it to Be

And that is why you either love Superman or hate him, haha.

#cannot comprehend why you’d ever hate supes but w/e

I like how the bad guys starts to nod, like “Oh, yeah man, I totally get it, no need to explain.”

I don’t think you guys understand how utterly and completely I love Clark Kent and how beautifully unafraid he is to be kind and gentle and a total “Mama’s boy” and to hell with anyone who thinks that makes him less of a ‘real man’, I think he is everything a man should be. <3

Unpopular opinion: If DC insists on updating the classic Superman costume, I wish they’d go with the version currently being seen in Smallville: Season 11 (right) as opposed to the current New 52 version (left).

Why? Well, for one, having yellow accents on the belt makes the yellow on his S-symbol chest insignia look less random.

Secondly, it doesn’t have the stupid collar that DC decided to give everybody in the New 52.

And lastly, it’s lighter-looking and less armored than the New 52 look, which makes sense to me considering that Clark doesn’t need armor in the first place.

Now, personally I see no reason to get rid of the old underpants-over-tights look, which did fine for 73 years. But if they’re going to update it, I think the Smallville:S11 look gets it more right.

Regardless of which look you like better, though, there’s one thing about Clark’s costume which should always be canon in my book:

Superman: Secret Origin Vol 1 

Other than the Lois scene, this was absolutely my favorite part of the trailer. And it immediately made me think of the Secret Origins scene.

It’s probably an intentional reference, and that pleases me because even though I don’t feel superhero movies need to be slavish adaptations of comic story arcs, I like it when the writers show that they have actually read the comics. Not only because it’s a nice shout-out for the fans, but also because it means they’re more likely to understand the overarching themes and relationships.

Last post for tonight.

They are perfect, and that is all. You know a love story is truly timeless when it can survive this many years, go though so many different interpretations and adaptations and be brought to life by so many different actors, and yet the relationship remains powerful and compelling to audiences.

I look forward to seeing more fans fall in love with them when Man of Steel comes out, as I think will happen. I look forward to reading new, wonderful comic stories featuring them, and seeing new movies and TV shows come out.

75 years, you guys. 75 years, and people still love these characters. Still love their relationship. They haven’t faded into obscurity, but are as powerful and relevant as they ever were. That is amazing.

If that doesn’t tell you that they’ve got something special, I don’t know what does.

“He smiles, never met anyone quite like her before” - Smallville ‘Crusade’ Script

He has that reaction in the comics, too:

I think what people who make the absurd “Lois is too ordinary for Superman” argument don’t get is, Clark would laugh in your face if you said that to him. He’s an alien with superpowers and she’s a human, but he thinks Lois Lane is absolutely the most extraordinary thing he’s ever seen. He’s in awe of her determination, her courage, the strength of her convictions, her refusal to tolerate wrongdoing, and above all the absolute, unabashed boldness of her personality. The way she always speaks her mind.

And he’s always both awed and taken aback by her fearlessness. The way she always speaks to him without fear, whether he’s Clark or Superman. He says that outright in the scene I posted, and I think we’re seeing that in the scene from Man of Steel, too. Clark’s not used to people who know about his powers looking at him with no fear or hesitation. The very first thing he says to her in Action Comics #1 is “You needn’t be afraid of me. I won’t harm you” - because that’s the reaction he’s expecting. That’s a theme throughout Birthright, and you see it in the Man of Steel trailer, too - “My father believed if the world found out who I really was, they’d reject me out of fear.”

But Lois has no fear. She always talks to Clark as an equal - not because she has powers equivalent to his, but simply because it never occurs to her that they wouldn’t be equals, and that’s that. And Clark loves that. He never wants people to walk on tiptoes around him because he’s the guy with godlike superpowers - he just wants to be treated as One of Us. And so the way Lois always speaks her mind to him, with no hesitation, is the most attractive thing in the world.

You know what I love the most about this scene?

Clark’s smile as he’s listening to Lois talk. Especially that sixth gif: look at that.

He already knows her story, of course. But that doesn’t matter: He’s just utterly happy to sit there and listen to her talk, and soak in her enthusiasm and her attitude and her total Lois-ness, and you almost feel like it wouldn’t matter what she was talking about, if it was important to her then Clark would like nothing better than to stay there and listen to her tell him about it all day.

Now that, my friends, is a man who is truly in love. <3
