Superman or Superdud?
|
Superman or Superdud? I grew up with Christopher Reeve as Superman, but as a . The Superman II movie never sat well with me. There was something about Superman that wasn't right and i never understood the context until a few years ago when i watched the movie objectively. The movie unravels for me at the end after Lois Lane has been rescued and it's the morning after she was almost killed repeatedly. But she is sitting in her office at 7:55 in the morning and has been there for hours already burning dozens of cigarettes and drinking black coffee. She's not sitting there trembling and ruminating about nearly being ripped in half by two suprbeings from space. What she is dreading something that we ALL have gone through. Terrible hook up sex with a co-worker. As soon as the elevator doors open and Clark Kent walks out, she tenses and gears up for the confrontation. So, of course, he walks up totally nonchalant and she loses her shit. I have two problems with Superman's resolution. He takes her and kisses her to make her magically forget the last 24 hours. 1. When was that EVER one of Superman's powers. 2. How many times has he done that to her? So.. what happened? I think we have to acknowledge the fact that Lois prefers Superman over Clark Kent and is forced to spend a weekend with Clark. Fast Forward. Lois discovers that Clark is actually Superman. They spend the rest of the weekend out at his secluded bachelor pad. After Jor-El screams at his for bringing a chain smoking, raging alcoholic into his home, he has to give up his powers or just take her home. He opts to have his powers removed. CLEARLY, Lois is disappointed. Especially, after having to walk from his Fortress of Solitude to some diner in upstate New York, because Clark doesn't even have a Subaru hatchback. So, after that hike, she has to watch Clark get beat up by some trucker. Not only beat up, but left in a trembling heap crying to himself. I think this is the moment that Lois looks down at Superman/Clark for the first time and sees him for who he truly is. What is Superman without the ability to take a gut punch? Note: After disposing of the bad guys after getting his super powers back. Superman later returns to the diner and confronts his bully. Mind you, Superman can slap that man so hatd that his soul would have a bruise, yet he still has to go back and take out some sexual frustration. After leaving the trucker driver looking like a meatball with a couple of tufts of hair sticking out, he leaves and continues on with his super hero charade. I only assume that Superman and Lois had sex maybe they just snuggled on his big mylar bed, but the dissapointment the next morning though is what leaves me perplexed. Superman has the ability to fly around the world so fast that he can change the orbit of the planet to go backward in time (the science is not sound, btw), but he can't find a g spot. |
