I disagree with most of what is said and while I wish Superman was fighting terorists in the movie this stuff about the slutty Lois is wrong.
This Lois is no slut. In Superman 2 Lois and Clark get married and have sex while he is human. Lois' memory of those events are wiped clean and Superman leaves (Superman 3&4 never happened). Ok Lois ends up pregnant and the man that made her that way is gone. What does she do does she run out and get on welfare? No she finds a man and gets engaged Thats the right thing to do. When Superman comes back does she just throw away the fiancee that has raised her son and jump into Superman's arms like he wants her to do. No NO NO she calls her fiancee a good man and for the sake of her son stays with a man she does not love as much as she loves superman. My GOD that is a conservative value. Everyone attacking this movie for Lois having a child out of wedlock are wrong.
Now Superman going to find himself? If you were the last person alive and you thought just maybe you could find more people would you go look. What happened in Superman 2 convinced Clark he could never be with Lois (although he has changed his mind) so he goes and looks for other slike him. Thats not finding yourself.
I could not tell if the filmmaker was making this a Christian Allegory or mocking Christian allegories. There is so much of the religious in this movie.
Superman tells Lois at one point. "You said the world doesn't need salvation but why do I hear the world calling out for a savior."
There is the scene about the Father being the Son and the Son being the Father.
The scene where Superman is stabbed in his side and his beating were straight out of the passion.
There is just scene after scene where Superman is shown as a Christ figure and it isn't a mistake these things are there intentionally. Despite the fact that this was made by serious leftists and religion haters I felt a very religious reaction to the movie. I think maybe the film maker tried to mock Christ and in doing so created a movie that really uplifts. Much like Lion the witch and the wardrobe is allegory the story seems so right.
In Superman 2 Lois and Clark get married..."
I don't remember that at all, but then, I haven't seen the movie in years.
Superman is an odd character. I've always wondered if the original character was based on the premise of Nietzsche's superman, but haven't been able to make myself wade through Nietzsche enough to make the connection. However, you can access a version of the original film done in thirty seconds by bunnies here.
It is revisionist history to say the decades of comics never happened and years of television and cartoons never happened and even movies that starred the same actor in the title role NEVER HAPPENED.
Lois Lane is a slut.
