Countdown to the MOS trailer?

[adkal]

Slipped back to my apartment at lunch time.

Saw the trailer 5 times.

It does look like there's some chest hair poking out of the neckline when he's looking at Lois. Good stuff

Pencils 'clanging'.

Chalk scratching.

Lara and Jor embracing as Krypton falls apart around them.

Clark using the water as an 'isolation chamber' as he readjusts to the chaos around him.

Alien ships.

Collision.

A bloody mouth as he falls to his knees?

Man on fire!! (loved seeing that in the first trailer, too)

Bearded Clark lifting.

Colours shift from muted to bright.

Oh, Mr Kent...'...maybe...'

[KRAKABOOM!]

this trailer.
yes.

adkal - yes, there is a hairy chest bustling over Superman's costume up the top.

Because of the various blocks at work, I didn't realise you had posted a picture up until I hit 'reply with quote'.

Heh

Hairy-chested Man-god of the Post-CoIE era.

As it should be.

Mwahahahahaha!

The only thing I didn't like was Pa Kent's "Maybe" when Clark if he was supposed to let those people on the bus die. Ma and Pa Kent are Clark's moral compass. They would never, ever suggest Clark let someone die.

If the alternative is Clark helping, being found out, then subsequently taken and dissected by the government, I could definitely see the conflict in Jonathan there. I doubt he really means it in the end, that he's actually proud of Clark, but at the same time it makes all the sense in the world for him to be scared.

With all of this talk about Jonathan's "Maybe...," I keep thinking about a scene from the Smallville episode "Vortex" featuring Jonathan Kent and a tabloid reporter on Lex Luthor's payroll, Roger Nixon. After a tornado, both men were stuck underground, which gave them a chance to talk about their views on Clark's role in the world.

Nixon: You have the most amazing being on earth doing chores on your farm! Why are you hiding him? Tell the world! Let them see for themselves.
Jonathan: I think I should leave that up to him for when he's older.
Nixon: When do you suppose that'll be? Draft age? Drinking age?
Jonathan: When he's ready.
Nixon: Why don't you stop playing the protector and admit the truth? You and your wife kept him because you couldn't have children of your own.
Jonathan: We kept him because he is our son and we love him.
Nixon: He's not your son, you deluded hick. He's not even human. You can kill me if you want for saying this, but you know I'm right. You're just a small man whose son's destiny is too big for you to comprehend. Clark doesn't belong to you. He belongs to the world.
Nixon: He can see through solid objects? Unbelievable. What else can he do? Do you have any idea what I would do with his abilities? The wealth, the power he could amass. It's unimaginable.
Jonathan: You are exactly the reason why I keep his abilities a secret.
Nixon: If it wasn't me, it would've been someone else. It was just a matter of time before this story got out.
Jonathan: Yeah.
Nixon: The people have a right to know!
Jonathan: Without any regard to the consequences to my son.
Nixon: Mr. Kent, since the beginning of time, people have been looking up at the stars and wondering "What's out there?" Clark is the answer that they have been waiting for.
Jonathan: The first time Clark used his abilities, he'd crawled under a big oak bed that my grandfather had made, and I crawled underneath it to try to get him out. All of a sudden the frame just came up in the air. He...he was a toddler lifting--I don't know--500 pounds over his head.
Nixon: What did you do?
Jonathan: We decided to take him to a doctor scientist, somebody more equipped to understand than we were. But when we got in front of the office, Martha...she said that if we left him there that...they would want to keep him and we'd never see him again. So I took him home. Now, that may have been a mistake, but it was a mistake I'd gladly make again.

Jonathan is just concerned about what will happen to his son. He doesn't want to lose him, especially if losing him might put his son in great danger.

They cut Jonathan mid sentece before he could elavorate on the maybe. Nothing to really get worked up about it.
