Ok was noonelse bothered by the fact that Henry Cavill's chest hair was trying to escape his suit? Seriously man, a little wax goes a long way. As for -real men have chest hair-? Sure, except when it's so long it pokes out the top of a full body suit.

I noticed it, but it didn't really bother me. My wife, though, was grossed out.

You don't just wax super chest hair. He probably tried burning it off in a nuclear reactor, and finally gave up.

There's a reason he doesn't wear the underwear anymore.

I've not heard a SINGLE woman I know dislike his chest hair.

I feel I should point out that my wife's Taiwanese, and she's very much more accustomed to Asian hairless bodies. In fact, that's one of the reasons she's attracted to me, I'm smooth even by Asian standards.

My wife is Hispanic, they're a hairy culture so it's not really that.
When he was shirtless, it was almost ok and most girls would find that attractive. It's simply the gross way it was sticking out over the suit. Basically it looked like he was one of those fat italian guys who sits at a restaurant with his chest hair spilling out of his top unbuttoned shirt eating pasta.

Luthor's definitely going to be a part of the second film. He's too iconic to leave out.

Not sure about the third part, though it would be interesting to see.

Not sure how Doomsday would translate to film. Unlike Bane, he's a pretty boring villain.

I don't know, I found the DKR version of Bane to be pretty boring too. He turned out just being the really strong flunky in the end.

I was thinking Darkseid would be better then Doomsday, but then I realized they would likely save him for a Justice League movie. They could have it that Brainiac is the mastermind behind bringing Doomsday to Earth, allowing him to appear through most of the movie doing his methodical planning, though depending on how they present him he could be just as boring.

Anyone remember Max Landis' Death and Return of Superman video? Here's a new vid from him talking about his thoughts regarding Man of Steel.

That rant is really dickish. If he has to insult and misrepresent other superheroes in order to make Superman look good, then he doesn't understand Superman nearly as well as he thinks he does. He's the type of idiot who thinks he has to call other women ugly for the woman he's complimenting to feel pretty. He's got some bits and pieces of good points, but his presentation and conclusions are so mean-spirited and egotistical that I I barely was able to sit through what he was saying. No one should listen to this guy because he's an ass.

He's doing it for sharp contrast and entertainment. And you can't be an ass for insulting a fictional character, I really don't think Spider-Man's feelings are going to be hurt.

I think I'm going to break down and go see Man of Steel tonight. A large part of me still doesn't know if I can handle THAT moment in the third act. That's just not my Superman. The whole third act sounds more like something out of The Authority than Superman.

But all my friends are gushing about it, so maybe I'm missing something? I don't know. I'm going to be torn about going to see it all day. I HATE the fact that there's a new Superman movie out and I just don't have the heart to see it because it's apparently "The Superman movie we've always wanted."

Not everyone. :( For me, Superman is a LOT more than just some powerful dude punching stuff.

Definitely not everyone. Just the mainstream, Michael Bay watching, Dancing With The Stars hit showing, COD BLACKS OMG, crowd Nick.... or those who don't really care about Superman mythos. Pretty much. At least 90% of the movie is enjoyable?

Chris Sims has a great review of it on ComicsAlliance, There's also this piece by Andrew Wheeler which goes into good detail of why I have zero interest in ever seeing the movie.

Welp, just had another fucking argument over the issue with a friend of mine on Facebook. And they just kept saying shit like, "Oh, well, you haven't seen it so your argument is invalid." Even just trying to talk about why I'm hesitant to see it has upset met AGAIN.

Forget it. I'm not seeing it.
