I've merged this with Younis Page & Other Boards Follies since we've had some level of discussion about this already. I wasn't sure that this thread was necessarily the best destination for the Apologist/plastic surgery thing but it felt like a better idea than starting a thread all by itself, esp as it's related to Apologists (the guy is trying to emulate BJ Routh; how is that NOT Apologist behavior?!?!).

The other thing though is that the pic really drives home just how far off the mark the Singerman bikini really is. You've got The Suit right next to the Singerman tu-tu and... ugh! Even though the Singerman thing has corrected colors, it's STILL so far off the mark!

I'm still annoyed that I would have to buy the whole set for a few new special features. So much for loyal fandom and buying the seasons as they came out.

Now, you guys need to understand, this fucker's a full-on socialist. So naturally this ass-bag is going to whine and complain about being "exploited" by These Big Corporations, Inc.

But beyond that, he's an Apologist through and through. Do not doubt me on this. He's championed BJ Routh on occasions innumerable, he's tossed out ideas on how to sequelize Singerman, he's pissed on SV on a fairly regular basis, blah blah blah. Basically he's got the same penile envy about Smallville that you'd expect from any cookie cutter Apologist crybaby you ever heard about. "Waaaah, ten years of SV and only 2.5'ish hours of Superbartender, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

I wish I could afford the Complete Series, but at least I've had Season 10 pre-ordered since May and I was lucky enough to be at Comic-Con for the Complete Series Retrospective feature.

Notice a trend? They're all positive. There's more stuff I could've thrown in but this stuff proves my point. Either the tide is turning on that web page (which is possible) or else (at least as likely) Fuehrer Eunuch has started his own little Night of the Long Knives and begun quietly purging the Apologist hardliners to make nice with Snyder and the MOS production. I could believe one as easily as the other at this point.

And for the record, I'm not some blind SV fan. Yeah, the series had its fair share of flaws and bad decisions. But (A) no more than any other TV show (B) no more than the Reeve movies (C) for fucking SURE no more than Singerman and (D) it took a lot more from the comics than it gets credit for.

Added to that, Routh ends up looking like a blow up doll with blue contacts. All in all, I don't see what the big deal about him is. Cavill is infinitely a better choice and will probably equal or surpass Reeve.

I'd tend to agree. I was a bit of a Routh apologist, and blamed any shortcomings on his SR performance on Singer and his direction/script. Despite any criticisms posted earlier about his jaw, he is a big, dark-haired handsome guy, and his face is close enough to comic renditions for him to pass easily as Superman ............ so I was pretty sold on his look, dodgy suit or not.

However, after watching Dylan Dog, Scott Pilgrim, Chuck, Unthinkable and Zack & Miri, I just think he has no range. He can act - at a basic level - and can do action, and he has some onscreen presence, but his line delivery is monotone and he seems to have very little variety in facial expressions or sound. Change his hair colour, his clothes, whatever, and he still looks like he really isn't enjoying being there. I've only come to realise this after actually watching him in a few different productions.

From what little I've seen of Cavill so far, he seems to have far more range and much better delivery so I'm pretty optimistic we're going to get a performance with much more impact.

Did an admitted Apologist just say Routh was a bad actor? Really??

I've been saying for a while now that Eunuch, to the extend he was ever an Apologist (which we can debate, incidentally), was starting to move away from that dead movement simply because it would earn him no brownie points with WB or with the MOS production.

But I've wondered that the rank and file, your more moderate Apologists, I suppose, would eventually abandon ship too. "Yeah, Singerman sucked, Singer's a hack, Blandon BJ was overhyped and overrated and oversold from the get-go", blah blah blah.

Stargazer? She'll never give it up. Never. But some of the others... just to be on the winning team for once, yeah, I could see them changing sides. And probably sooner rather than later. In probably two years at the most, you've gotta wonder that the Apologists will eventually be relegated to a single message board where they can commiserate over MOS's likely inevitable superiority, endlessly reliving the 2006 "glory days".

Fuckers, it's just what they deserve.

So, to everyone complaining about Superman's armor in the DCNU, here's an honest question: Would you like it if they used the Earth-One suit, except without the briefs? Because honestly, I want them gone. Every new version of Superman is, quite honestly, a bit serious. Earth-one and the DCNU are trying to emphasize his power, and nothing makes you look foolish and vulnerable like standing around in your underpants. Which is why the tiny briefs have to go.

I agree, as much as i love the red trunks, they gotta go so Supes can be taken seriously and respectfuly by todays audience. Changes are inevitable. Bats let that go, cyclops let that go, Wolvie let it go, and so many others. Why not the Man?

^ Yeah, and the whole red eyes thing has been waaaaaaaayyy overdone in the past few years. That should be a once in a while thing, not on every other page showing Superman. I definitely sympathize with you on the fun being out of DC comics, it's a dreary universe right now. That's why I read Avenging Spider-Man and Flash with my son. They are fun books.

Part of me wants to acknowledge that he has a point. In many respects, comics AREN'T anymore. Or not as much fun. I'd point to the current Justice League of America comic (yeah yeah, it's just "Justice League" officially but I'm not afraid to use the full title and DC shouldn't be either) as an exception. It's a big, brainless action fest of a comic. But the general rule applies.

Most people would be content to acknowledge all or most of the above... but, this being the Eunuch page, some semi-conscious mouth-breathing troglodyte just HAD to speak up and expose his own illiteracy and stupidity.

Apologist dillhole wrote:#17 | God In A Cape on January 6, 2012 2:07am EST
Johnjones, Why do u think he need your sympathize? Why not you that needeed to be sympathize, for not being able to look past your own favourite version of superman? Let him enjoys what he enjoys.

The world nowadays is a gray, complicated, and cynic one, it's not the 60's or pre-Vietnam war era. Of course the heroes, in this case Supes has to deal and term with this condition in order to be relevant. And yes, in AC he smiles and enjoy being Supes and people's helper. Much more than in E1 Supes.

How do I know this twink is an Apologist? I should think his general language fail is proof enough. "Huukt on fonix werked 4 me'z". But if it's not, he obviously struggles with the usual Apologist deficiency of not being able to contextualize what comics are all about. To wit: THEY'RE NOT THE REAL FUCKING WORLD. They're fictional stories set primarily in a stylized, heightened type of "reality". In a traditional sense, that's never been what they're all about.

Of course, explaining that to a moron like him is about as productive as trying to explain the finer points of e-commerce to a monkey.

And lest you be tempted to give ANY of these drooling, glassy-eyed slobs too much credit for ANYthing, bear in mind they're drawing conclusions about an entire 150 to 200 page story from a four or five page preview.

Won't lie to you, this post was quite the dilemma. Yeah, on the one hand, it speaks directly to the crapitude that is Singerman. And there's a thread for that. Hell, you could argue (and I would listen) that we need a forum just for bagging on Singerman. But the other side of it is that it also speaks to Eunuch page Apologists, which makes it fodder for this thread. In the end, I figured this was the thread to go with. And so here we are.

Basically, some Apologist jackoff decided to make a Singerman documentary. Apparently there are comparisons between this and STM. Can't say I've watched it because if it's about Singerman... seriously, what's the point? Unless the commentator goes off on a tear about what an abortion the movie is unto Superman's history as an American icon, odds are good I'll categorize the nitwit as (A) an Apologist (B) a film critic or (C) some dumbass who doesn't know jackanything about Superman. Pick one. But Eunuch made an interesting admission in giving his little blurb.

The Eunuch wrote:"Superman Returns" is a film that divided the fan base.

There was a time when you'd probably get first blamed ("Singer didn't split the fanbase, YOU have", that shit) and then banned for making such an observation. The times, they are a-changin'.

As to the comments... oh, the comments. There's only so much stupidity one man can handle but here's a sampling of a few "gems" from various Apologist hosers.

Very insightful, thanks for posting. My favorite Superman movie and one of my favorite films. Superman Returns still gives me goosebums. Very underrated by the online community.

Some of you may not recognize her handle but as far as I know she's an Apologist Par Excellence. When it became clear that Singerman 2- Pleather Boogaloo wasn't happening (circa early 2008?), I swear to think she was one of the Apologist All-Stars who demanded that Blandon BJ replace Tom Welling on SV, with SV's continuity retroactively modified to line up with Singerman. As I recall, their little "campaign" kind of withered on the vine fairly quickly after somebody pointed out that SV was surely nearing the end of its run and there would little gain in associating their beloved "superstar" with yet another closing chapter. Because, I guess, pointing out how fucking insane the sheer idea of it is would've been too obvious.

I swear, you couldn't make this stuff up...

#6 | Daniel McIntosh on January 12, 2012 1:47am EST
Very good retrospective look at the movie and very insightful.. The guy did an awesome job... I think he was able to see a lot of things in the the movie that the vast majority of people simply over looked because they went in with a simple popcorn mentality of expecting lots of explosions and action. Clearly there was a lot that could be taken away, but everyone takes something something unique for themselves.

Yeah, the stupid unwashed masses wanted adventure and spectacle from a film that cost in excess of $200 million to produce that was released at the height of the summer film season ostensibly starring an action-oriented superhero, yeesh, what knuckle-dragging idiots!

#9 | ITHoTMK on January 12, 2012 8:07am EST
It's unfortunate because, as you pointed out, all the right elements are there. They're just unfortunately watered down and too far spread out for today's audience to keep them emotionally invested. Sure, it made money but it didn't make the ultimate impact everyone involved had hoped for and that's on the record.

You either see problems here or you don't. And if you don't, odds are good you're on the wrong forum.

#16 | Zshazlez on January 12, 2012 11:53am EST
I can't get over Superman being an irresponsible creep in this movie or in the Donner-verse in general. When he can't figure out how to deal with Lois after the events of Superman 2, he erases her memory. Obviously, he doesn't know she's pregnant, but he's left her violated now.

This person goes on to bash on Singerman and doesn't really come off like too much of an Apologist. But who knows? But as to her Donner/S2 criticisms... there came a point, I dunno when, but there came a point when it became fashionable to bash on Superman "raping Lois Lane's mind". So allow me to retort.

Putting aside the amnesia-kiss contrivance, Superman didn't go into her office with the intention of wiping her mind. He went in to check on her, try to rebuild bridges and, hopefully, give her a little bit of comfort. There was no comfort to be had. She'd lost the love of her life, she was never going to get over it and this was going to be something that she'd carry around with her for the rest of her days. Superman, for his own part, wasn't in a terribly different emotional state. He also knew what he'd lost.

But instead of whining and crying and throwing a fit over how unfair the situation is, he chooses to spare Lois her grief and anguish. Better that he suffer alone and in silence than both of them suffer together and, maybe someday, eventually drawing some comfort from each other.

He knowingly and willingly sacrificed any hope of SOME kind of post-break up relationship with her and the stability (such as it would've been) that he could've drawn from it on the proposition of easing her pain. Better she live in ignorance than live with that kind of misery and loss.

Was it the ideal, non-chickenshit ending we could have gotten? No. Like the time-travel/world-reversal bit from STM, it basically magically wipes the slate clean for future sequels. But there's an emotional underpinning to it. The filmmakers' need for a clean slate for sequels yet to come required Lois to forget but it's done in a way that makes Superman's choice noble. He wasn't doing it to spare himself the consequences of his own actions; he was doing it to spare her.

That. Is. Sacrifice.

Morons...

Eunuch page wrote:January 15, 2012: "Smallville" Fans Unite to Raise Funds
Smallville Fans Unite to Raise Money for the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation

Fans of the television show Smallville have banded together to raise money for the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation and to honor two of their favorite characters, Lana Lang (played by Kristin Kreuk) and Chloe Sullivan (played by Allison Mack). The fundraiser, sponsored by Legendary Women, Inc. and Sweet, will run from January 12 to February 12, 2012. All monies raised will be donated to the Reeve Foundation on February 20, 2012.

"There's a tradition of Smallville fans raising money for the Reeve Foundation," says Carolyn West of Legendary Women, Inc. "It started in 2003 when Christopher Reeve first appeared on Smallville and it's estimated fans have raised $7,600.00 over the years. In 2010 Legendary Women, Inc. turned it into an annual event and last year we were able to personally present actress Allison Mack with a certificate showing how much had been donated."

"It made sense that this year Smallville fandom would unite to honor Lana and Chloe," adds Katie Silverman of Sweet. "On the show both characters cared deeply about the world and went to extraordinary measures to help others. Even though Smallville is now off the air, we can keep their spirits alive by supporting the Reeve Foundation in its efforts to cure spinal cord injuries and help those living with paralysis."

Those interested in contributing to the fundraisers can donate through PayPal at fundraising@legendarywomen.org or by going directly to the donation page of The Reeve Foundation's website (www.christopherreeve.org) and taking the time to add a note indicating that they're donating as part of the Smallville fundraiser.

There are also two raffles, one with prizes featuring Lana Lang/Kristin Kreuk and the other with prizes featuring Chloe Sullivan/Allison Mack. Tickets for the raffle can be purchased at www.legendarywomen.org.

Legendary Women, Inc. is an organization dedicated to the promotion of positive images of women in the media and to fundraise for charities that help women. Founded in 2010, it has raised money for The Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation, SA-YES and Moving Creations, Inc. In January 2012, it launched the website www.legendarywomen.org as a way to celebrate positive female characters, highlight real world women role models and discuss feminist issues in the media. In February 2012 it will highlight and celebrate Smallville's Chloe Sullivan.

Sweet is an on-line forum for fans of the pairing of Clark Kent and Lana Lang from the television show Smallville. Created in 2002, it has over 40,000 members and has held two different campaigns that have raised over $3,000 for The Reeve Foundation in the past. The forum's archives can be found at http://lanaclark.suddenlaunch2.com/index.cgi and its current, active incarnation is located at http://z13.invisionfree.com/lanaclark/index.php?act=idx.

The Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation - was founded in 1982 as the American Paralysis Foundation. After his accident in 1995 Christopher and his wife Dana Reeve dedicated their names and energies to curing spinal cord injury. The Foundation funds innovative research and improves the quality of life for people living with paralysis through grants, information and advocacy. More about the Reeve Foundation can be found at www.christopherreeve.org.

Sadly though, the above isn't what's at issue in the comments. Some radical feminist has basically taken over the proceedings and implied that the Eunuch is wrong in promoting this project when it willfully leaves out a considerable portion of SV's fanbase (ie, Lois/Erica fans). If the cause was anything other than charity, I'd suspect one of you had registered a member ID at the Eunuch page specifically to troll the comments and cause problems vis a vis "feminist empowerment".

Hell, if it was for anything other than charity, I'd probably do that very thing myself. Look up "gadfly". And check out those comments, the ones I've read are all GOLD.

Anyway, it was about the article that was posted there about the SUPERMAN FAN who was now a paraplegic due to a car accident. I think it had a grand total of one comment, that is, until I said something here on these forums about it, after which 'swrighty' almost immediately commented at duh Homopage as if that topic needed to be kept alive.

Apologist fuckweasel wrote:#12 | Newseditor on February 9, 2012 9:03am EST
Who cares? Listen, who picks up the comic and enjoys it, great.

But for me, it's an insulting reminder that the show paraded other heroes who wore their outfits and used their code names (and flew), such as Green Arrow, Aquaman and Hawkman, but not the star of the show.

Hell, Welling didn't even wear the outfit and no one called him Superman.

And just because season 11 is in comic book form isn't all that impressive to me only because we've always read about Superman in the comics in so many different forms for many, many years.

But we rarely got to see the Man of Steel on TV. And it would have been nice if the show's producers, writers and Welling gave most of us fans what we wanted after 10 long years at the end of the series: Clark donning the real outfit, people calling him Superman, for most of the episode.

There's probably more shit at the link up there but that's the big picture of it.

I can understand the outrage and frustration. Here you've got some dyed in the wool, Singerman-loving, Routh-stalking Apologist asshole who's probably STILL pissed off that Singerman 2- Boytoy of Pleather WILL NEVER FUCKING GET MADE.

Meanwhile, SV (which is "over" in the strictest sense of the word) is STILL getting a spinoff/continuation/sequel because WB/DC/CW/Millar-Gough Ink/Tollin-Robbins understand that, for as much ground as the series covered, there's STILL juice in SV-based Superman stories.

So yeah, I can totally understand his frustration. Suck it up, dickhead. You backed the wrong horse in 2006. Payback's a virgin. It's not a bitch. Because bitches are easy. Fucker.

There's probably more Apologist bullshit at that link to sort through but this is a decent a sample.

"I think he's about the best Superman you could ever have," the filmmaker said. "When I first saw him - this was before I knew he [auditioned] for Superman, because the last Superman had been made a year and a half before Immortals and tanked - I said, 'This is Clark Kent!'"

Tarsem, a former film school colleague of Man of Steel helmer Snyder, said that the Watchmen director would be "blind not to see how right he was for [the role]".

"He's very gentle, manly, just everything was perfect for it," Tarsem said of Cavill. "He was so excited when he got it but I didn't doubt for a second that he wouldn't get it."

I find it funny that people say Superman Returns "tanked" or "bombed" when it had a budget of roughly $210 million and made $391 million worldwide. That's seriously unfair.

Even if you want to add the $60 million that people say was tagged on because of Burton, McG, Ratner, etc. failed projects, bringing the production cost to $270 million, that's still a profit of $121 million. Hardly a "tank", however unimpressive it may be to Hollywood executives.

Oh, and I'm not a fan of the movie personally. I think the shooting script was much more interesting than the actual film portrayed. However, I hate when FACTS get obscured in the public consciousness, and people accept falsities as fact. The movie was poorly written, and story wise it was poorly executed, but it was not a financial failure.

If that fucking hoser wanted facts, he'd come over and get an education. But no, he'll stay at the Eunuch page because, when all is said and done, most people find lies preferable to truth.

Miller talks about the Smallville season 11 comic. Naturally this resulted in yet more penile envy from the Apologists. Even though SV was on the air for ten seasons and told a metric fuckton of stories, The Powers That Be recognize there's still mojo to this franchise so they're spinning if it off into a new comic book. Naturally the Apologists are jealous about this because Singerman is one and done, and the only spinoff comics it's ever had or ever will have were prequel comics released before the movie designed to help promote it.

I can't stand "Smallville", but I do love Supes.
I guess I'll give this book a try just to be fair. There's no way that it can be as boring as the show.

Right?

I kept up with the show from the get go. I was really hopeful and excited with the first few seasons. I was burnt out and cynical by the end. I'll give this comic a try. I'm hoping it will make up for the let down of a series finale.

The last season sucked. Why do they have to keep picking at this scab-wound of a show? Greed plain and simple.

I doubt I'll be reading this. Like Allen Schronce said, I got a bit cynical of the show near the end. They paraded so many other heroes in their uniforms and some of them flew, but we didn't get to really see any of that with the star of the show.

And seeing it in comic book form is just not the same as is on TV, which is what most of us wanted. The comic won't give us anything that we haven't read before.

My thoughts exactly! the only reason I'm giving this even half a chance is because it'll have "Superman" not just "that Clark"

The same should be said that The upcoming Man of Steel movie won't give us anything that we haven't seen before.

Good luck with that one. The book won't be around within a years time.

I guess one of them finally had enough because he wrote...

It wouldnt have lasted as long if it was a failure. Truth. Love it or hate it, we got 10 years of Superman-Goodness. And we got to see many live action version of comic book heroes we may never have seen (Green Arrow, Legion, Booster Gold, Blue Beetle, Doomsday, JSA, etc.).

So it seems at least one person over there has half a clue.
