Ep 12 - Superman 2025: DC’s Last Hope or First Win?

After we all went to the theaters to watch the new James Gunn Superman movie, we had some thoughts. If you are Carter, they are good thoughts, if they are me, they are meh. We have a frustrating conversation about whether or not James Gunn was right for the job.

Unit 731

I feel like this book took so much time to tell us so little. There is a lot of how the politics were played out in Japan, when the Allies came, and between the US and USSR. The stories at the end are interesting, but doesn't provide the insight I was looking for.

Lone Survivor

This is a great story. Not for the actions of those involved, but for one simple line: "You are never out of the fight!" That is the prevailing lesson and process in this movie. Press on. It is honestly a good life lesson to hold on to.

Thor The Dark World

I do not like what they did the Silveg. First off, he is played by a Skarsgard and deserves to be treated as such. I get why they made it happen, I just think the degree of it is more than any of the others portray and so it just feels extra. Jane is fine, Darcy is fine, Thor and Loki are solid.

Warfare

As I was writing this, I had a thought. They put a LOT of emphasis on this movie being based on their memories. I feel like that is intended to basically allow A24 to mess with the story a bit, or it is contradictory to the official story. So take that as a food for thought.
