    I did say that one was Saga, so your comment here isn't really useful. You would have realized this had you remained calm.

    By now you know I figured out what went wrong.

    I just want to say...

    Don, I did research first, but all it did was confuse me. For a change, it wasn't Wiki's fault but the browser's.

    I never realized the original series was canceled. Saga is volume 2, but one...
  5. How do you know he wasn't trying to do just that?...

    How do you know he wasn't trying to do just that? Zod is at least as strong as Superman. He was probably putting his flying power into it as well as his muscles.

    But if his flying powers work...

    Because he killed someone who begged for it? How totally unnecessary. Superman doesn't kill because he's so powerful any stray movement can cause untold damage and loss of life. He literally must...

    Sure, when you're not being hammered on the head with the old film series. :biggrin: An occasional reference is great.

    I know people with super breath. Knock you down just saying "Hhhhhhi".:frown:

    Who said anything about crying? A quick flash of memory and his mom's reassurance should do the trick. Just enough to show he's not a heartless killing machine. A whole movie of soul searching...

    My theory is in Donner's version, the killing happened at the end of the second film, and a lot more attention had been paid to establishing Superman's ethical code, and just plain getting to know...

    Not really. It does tend to happen to great artists, but mainly because they stop drawing stories regularly. Like how Alex Ross does mostly covers now. And artists don't trace photos, they just...

    I should create a file for things like this. They seem to come in handy.

    Sorry, but we're both wrong. Saga of the Swamp Thing was a revival of the original series, with art by Yeates. http://www.coverbrowser.com/covers/saga-of-the-swamp-thing If you look, the third...

    The story of Zod and his followers' escape from the phantom zone and arrival on Earth to confront the son of Jor El is one of the milestones of Superman's career. And even though the origin isn't...

    I know you don't intend to make assumptions here, so this isn't aimed directly at you or anyone in particular, but as one of those who wasn't happy with the movie, I'd like to declare that it's not...

    Good assessment, except Saga is actually a collection, a TP of Swamp Thing. You don't see much of his work anymore. Rumor had it his eyesight was going bad. Legally blind, he now works much more...

    Oh hell yes! That film was a huge tactical error. We've had decades to tire of the (now) cliches from the original series. They didn't bear repeating. I'm sure it seemed like a good idea at the...

    What is it with quoting ffritts that keeps going wrong? First it happened with me, now with you, on the same quote unless I'm mistaken. And yes, the fights with the Zoners was very satisfying, just...

    I should point out that letting go of his head for any reason meant letting the family die. I don't believe he really had any choice. If he could have moved Zod's entire body, he would have. But...

    I wasn't assessing quality based on a comparison. I simply stated that there is reason to expect comparison because there exists something to compare it against. And I earlier compared this Zod...

    Yeah, I don't think this movie needed an Otis for comedy relief either.
