>> The new Superman and Lois is REALLY good. <<
That's a VERY interesting, somewhat related topic to this thread.
When I first heard about that TV series, I was dead set AGAINST "yet another Superman reboot telling the same story we've seen a zillion times before". The title itself sounded like they weren't even trying. Didn't they ALREADY make that in the 90s? When it was called Lois & Clark, and starred Dean Cain and Teri Hatcher in a "modernized" Superman TV series told from the POV of Lois Lane at The Daily Planet?
Then I saw the trailer for this new show. One word: WOW.
They NAILED it. It immediately reversed my position on this TV series 180o degrees. I haven't seen a "retelling" of Superman's origins THIS good since the Christopher Reeve films of the late 70s/early 80s. All the actors are pitch perfect and faithful to the source material and we FINALLY have a FUN, uplifting, inspirational Superman -- something even the 2006 "Superman Returns" film-- a "loose sequel" to the Donner films -- totally missed the boat on. All they need is the iconic John Williams theme and my heart will melt. This trailer BETTER not be a fake out.
I'm utterly stunned, especially since this is another "superhero" show on the CW, the SJW infested, teen angsty drama themed network that gave us "woke" trash like lesbian "Batwoman" and decided to blackwash Jimmy Olsen into a 6'5" suave black dude names "James Olsen" for their "Supergirl" TV series.
I was honestly prepared to hate it, but this trailer has totally piqued my interest for the show. I can't think of the last time a freakin' TRAILER completely reversed my position on something. Check it out for yourselves:
Better than Dean Cain and Teri Hatcher? That was a good show.
I’m not sure which is worse, Kunta Kinte or whatever his name is or JJ ***king Abrams.
