SUPERMAN: LEGACY Director James Gunn Says "It's Not That Simple" When Asked About Including Superman's Trunks

@PlusUltra - mmmm… they cap off the fake muscle padding beautifully 🤌🏻😂

@Tasmaniac - I’ve seen worse

@PlusUltra - Yeah, no. The pointy abs stuck to the Superman suit even when he bends over are hilarious.

@philinterrupted - Opening scene of the show. Wearing trunks, telling a kid his mum made the costume for him.



That’s what you call embracing the character from the jump. It’s established right from the bat this Superman was flying around in those trunks in his early years. They weren’t embarrassed by it. They made a point of it.

@philinterrupted - Not before it established the character wasn’t embarrass by wearing a suit his mum made him, nor was the shows creators, and that’s the point. If they can’t make one thing about the character work, they’ll definitely find another. That’s what you don’t get.

@philinterrupted - If they can’t make one thing about the character work, they’ll definitely find another. End of.

@PlusUltra -

This is gorgeous and literally should be Superman’s suit for his film.

@PlusUltra -
Agreed, it's not complicated to design a version of the costume with the red trunks. the most iconic versions of the character have them.

@DanFlashesShirt - more!

@DanFlashesShirt - That’s not enough color balance.

@PlusUltra - >More so, if a creator is embarrassed about the trunks, what else are they embarrassed about?

Mother[frick]er, you like Waititi's Thor, a set of movies/characters that are embarrassed about every single aspect of the character(s), not just the costume (which the MCU never got right).

@URCOMMENTSUCKS - Thor: Ragnarok embraced the goofiness of Thor comics half you losers like to pretend doesn’t exist when clamouring for “LOTR in space”, something Thor comics have never been. And Thor has quite literally worn outfits from the page, as latest as Love and Thunder.



The only thing they [frick]ed up on was the helmet, but that’s partly due to Hemsworth not wanting to wear it.

@PlusUltra - That's Thunderstrike, not Thor

The comics may have some level of goofiness in them but not Thor himself, he was a dumb surfer dude in Ragnarok

@PlusUltra - Pal, you should've shut your mouth the second I mentioned Thor, since now I'm about to go full Odinforce on you.

''Thor: Ragnarok embraced the goofiness of Thor comics''

For it to embrace something, it has to be aware of it. Which couldn't be the case, as the greatest living director Taika Whacktiti said it out loud: he tried reading one Thor comic, got tired of the poetic dialogue, and said, '''we're not doing it'''. Second, Thor comics are not goofy. And whatever goofines comes out of them, it's the kind of that idiots such as you and Waititi percieve as goofy - the one where a story is so earnest, certain creatively bankrupt dipshits think it's stupid to be sincere and make fun of it. As they are, Thor comics are written like theater plays and are earnest in their presentation. The complete opposite of everything in Waititi's nonsense. And third of all, even if Thor has stories that are '''goofy'' (which, like any CB superhero with a series of comics that went on for 60 years he does), shouldn't a goofy Thor movie be based on a goofy Thor comic, then? Waititi's trash movies were ''adapting'' stories such as Ragnarok and The God Butcher. Obviously you moron have never read a single caption from those fantastic comics, but they're not goofy-ass comedy schlock for the mouth-breathers like yourself who unironically laugh at Waititi's shit humour. Ragnarok is indeed a LOTR-esque epic tale of death and destruction. The God Butcher is am equally epic science fiction time travel thriller with an irredeemable villain.





Not sure where Waititi's trash fits into the summary of those stories.

''half you losers like to pretend doesn’t exist''

I think the only loser here is you, who has a temper tantrum over a character not wearing underwear over his costume, but then also makes bad faith arguments defending a shitty, horrendous take on an entire world of a character, and with argument that's objectively incorrect.

''when clamouring for “LOTR in space”,''

Thor comics are LOTR-esque, as Elizabethan English dialogue, pathos of each character, and worldbuilding emulates the aspects of Tolkien mythology. Also, 'tis not in space; it's within the magic realms.

But if that's not enough, here is some trivia for you: Brunnhilde's steed in the comics is named Aragorn, and in the Ragnarok story from 2004 we can see the artist of the comic tracing the castle at Helm's deep from the second LOTR movie for the scene in Vaneheim.



''something Thor comics have never been.''

To those who are more interested in dickriding Taika Whacktiti than in reading actual Thor comics, maybe. Perhaps take a look at these two pages from a late 60s Thor comic and point out to me what are the similarities between this and Waititi's so-called take on Thor.




I don't see Thor being a half-witted bimbo, I see Sif being an actual character who's as in love with Thor as he is with Thor, and I see Hela as an actual compelling villain with humanity in her, not some video game boss who throws spikes at everyone and clamors for ultimate power.

''And Thor has quite literally worn outfits from the page, as latest as Love and Thunder.''

That's not the same outfit, that's not Thor, and not the story upon which the so-called movie was based on. I love that your great defense for how shit Ragnajoke and Schlock and Slumber were is to make some ephemeral bad faith argument about the non-existent goofiness in Thor comics whilst ignoring that the stories which those so-called movies have adapted were all dark epic fantasy/science fiction stories that Waititi's trash have completely botched from any angle you look at.

Farewell, thou who hast made a fool of himself.

@Nightwing1015 - it helps with flight? It’s more of a practical excuse than trunks. What do trunks provide? A second layer protecting his junk?

@Nightwing1015 - hey, you’re right. And if they decided to scrap the cape I’d be fine with that too.
