 Posted by Steve on September 26, 2003: New comic here. So, you know, we've held up our end of our little weekly arrangement.
This is pretty damn cool.
So, online Pacman. Just in case you were in the mood for that.
So I'm sitting here watching Superman 2, and I have some questions. In the scene where Zod is lifting the guy up in the air with his...finger beam...or whatever... what's with the kid with the thick British accent? I mean, they're supposed to be in what, Idaho or something? And his dad doesn't have an accent, so what the fuck?
And how does this little nothing town with 120 people in it get word to the media and the army so quickly? And aren't tanks and attack 'copters a bit much of a response? I mean really, the army gets a call (and did they just dial the hotline or something?) from some tiny town in the middle of nowhere that says "yeah, so we've got these three people in weird costumes beating us up and using their finger beam on us. Can you help us out?" Don't you think they would have been a bit more conservative with their reply?
And what's with Luthor being able to find the Fortress of Solitude so easily? What did he pick up a map at a gas station? And then once he gets there, it takes him five minutes to find and use the crystal projector thing?
And don't you just love how they make this huge plot hole of Superman irreversibly losing his powers, and then they not only reverse the process anyway, but do it off camera. And how funny is it that the guy lasts a whole one day without his powers before going "yeah, fuck this. Where's my little crystal thing?"
And while we're on the subject...come on. It's a pair of glasses and the hair parts on the other side. Big damn mystery. And he's around reporters all day? Good attention to deal there kids. Oh well, it could be worse I guess. I mean, who didn't get pissed that Bruce Wayne was suddenly chatty as a fuckin school girl about his little secret in the movies? Every goddamn flick he's blabbing to someone that he's Batman. Ugh. Don't even get me started on the Batman movies.
But on the plus side, Zod fuckin rocks. So that pretty much balances everything out. See you next week.
