In-universe, Superman would have the most recognizable face on the planet. This just doesn't hold water. It wouldn't take someone yelling his first name for people to figure out who he is. Internet 'sleuths' deduce much less public people's identities (and jobs, addresses, families, etc.) all the time. And that's without WayneTech. There's no need to twist logic this hard to cover for a terrible plot device. His disguise is dumb.

Cool. Now what if he took off that jacket, flew around and fought a giant monster. People might notice. (also: an edited Inside Edition clip is probably not great evidence. This is like saying nobody in LA knows their state's capital because a two minute Tonight Show clip says so)

Clark Kent’s “disguise” has been people clothes, some glasses and bad posture for damn near 90 years; it’s never gonna be the movies’ fault that people (including Pulitzer Prize winning investigative reporters) are fooled by it. My personal headcanon is that folks just let him pretend to be Clark because they figure it keeps him happy and not destroying everything/everyone. It’s the dumbest disguise in the history of disguises, but why poke the bear.

Opinions are opinions; the rationale behind how people arrive at them is fair game. My post wasn't addressing your comment that you don't see Pascal as Reed Richards; that's valid (I don't either, but it's not because "he doesn't look like the world's smartest man"). My post was about people feeling like Being Very Smart means Looks Like This. Every time someone writes something in this sub that even sort of contradicts a previous post, there's a reply along the lines of "I'm sorry different opinions aren't OK with you". We really gotta move past it.

Being bummed that the world's smartest man doesn't look the way you might expect them to says more about the beholder than the beheld.

I ran an Ice/KM/Soul and can confirm, does a bang up job keeping friendlies up. Works best with some -Res frens.

What an arc. Guess this turd got polished enough.

Julia Garner (“Ozarks”, mostly) is playing Shalla Bal, who is part of Norrin Radd’s original backstory (she was the empress of their planet and they were banging). She was also the Silver Surfer in Earth X.

Sorry, I was referring to the “Ross wouldn’t want non-American tech” or whatever it was.

Since /Earth wasn't mentioned, I'll forward it. Blasters are one of my least represented ATs at 50, but my Elec/Earth Blapper is my main. Keeping mobs on their backs with Fault + Tremor while your rains do things and the Freeze Ray + Seismic Smash combo sound like good times.

It wasn't an American who invented the Super Solider serum...

lol, what a wild thread. "I called the Devs idiots, they told me that was rude, so I'm leaving"? That's what all this is about?

FYI, Lynch hated the final cut of this movie so much he took his name off the credits.

Personally, I am 100% over the “here’s this solo superhero, yes other superheroes exist but this movie won’t reference or involve them at all, except at the very end where someone makes a cameo to show you how this world is interconnected”. Just, no. We have 0 idea how much screen time the non-Superman heroes are going to have. I know “wait and see” is anathema to a lot of people, but what if we tried it just one time.

Krypto doesn't belong in a Superman movie?

Was not ready for that particular character's backstory to be so painful.

Consider the sauce.

Now add up all the damage from the secondary power sets.

Yes, RDJ carried Iron Man and much of the entire franchise. I don’t think anyone would argue that. The Evans FF movies are bad. Johansson’s movie was terrible and didn’t come out until after her character was dead. Not exactly “carrying a franchise”. Jackson was the lead in exactly 0 movies. Cumberbatch is the closest to a “non-original” Avenger that carried his own movies. The fact is, they didn’t market Phase 1 as “check out this new Chris Evans/Hemsworth/Pratt movie!” It was about the IP, not the cast.

Chris Evans was not a bankable star before Captain America: First Avenger. Chris Hemsworth was not a bankable star before Thor. Tom Holland was not a bankable star before Spider-Man: Homecoming. Chadwick Boseman was not a bankable star before Black Panther. Chris Pratt was not a bankable star before Guardians of the Galaxy (The Lego Movie *did* come out the same year, so perhaps this one is squishier) Some of the worst MCU movies were built on the backs of 'bankable' stars. This isn't the issue. If it's about 'which of these relatively unknown leads since Endgame could hold down a trilogy', then there have been some real missteps and tragedies there, not all within Disney/Marvel's control (Boseman, Simi Liu, etc.). Of all the post-Endgame leads, I personally find Iman Vellani the most charismatic, but how many people even know that's the name of the actress who plays (played?) Kamala Khan?

I would imagine so! But I thought that was a helpful update for anyone who comes across this guide later.

You are (very) unlikely to succeed at AV killing with this particular combo.
