DISCUSSION How would you answer these questions about the extended preview of Superman trailer #1?

#4 bothered me initially, but now I think the pain came not from the sun itself, but from his broken bones knitting and busted organs getting repaired etc.

I think the pain came from the extreme amount of sunlight he was having pumped into him. People are taking it too literally like he was being hit with a beam of kryptonite. Yeah, he was in pain, but it wasn’t like it was killing him or something. To me, it’s like the Highlander movies. The quickening makes the immortals more powerful, but they always look like they’re in pain as they’re absorbing that large amount of power.

Yeah, I don't like your interpretation at all. That's why I initially didn't like this moment, because I thought the same thing as you did. But. He has flown directly into the sun itself to heal before and it didn't hurt him one bit, and this is way less of an exposure than that.

He's Superman

He's Superman
Healing is a tough process. You ever healed from a wound? ouch!
I know it's the style for superheroes to have skin tight latex but it's not a requirement. Why not have a baggier outfit?
They're just goofy little guys. Although I like the idea that they're fully sentient but don't realize it, that'd be a good gag.

People were this unbearable in 2013 & 2016 and it ruined a franchise. Like chill out.

These read like questions Jon Peters would’ve asked Kevin Smith when writing Superman Lives. Except Peters has no clue who Kal-El is.

Let's see. 1. Easy, a Superman 5 percent whistle is still hundreds of times stronger than us. He was also outdoors within the suns reach, just not enough sun to fix him up.
I mean it's still an inconspicuous place. It's not likely to be wandered into, might even be impenetrable (or close to it) to your average human. I still has the bots and security door and Krypto.
This is likely a creative choice. Perhaps on the job they call him by his hero name because he wants them to or out of robo respect. If you're in the military you get called by rank and last name, if you're in healthcare or science you get called Dr or Mr. It's just speculation.
They did say they magnified the sun's strength for him. He has gotten overcharged by the sun before in the comics. Seems self explanatory. They're portraying concentrated sun to be similar to painful surgery, it's interesting.
I thought the costume looked way better. Regardless, this is still his first costume in the DCU we're seeing. There's gonna be more, likely better ones down the road. The amazing Spiderman had Peter in that suit I didn't like the whole movie. As the first of many, it serves it's purpose and likely has story background for the way it looks.
This is a clear set up for plot reasons. The bots that act like they lack emotion but ultimately have a heart of their own. You can see in a preview, supes holding one tightly. Think G.I Robot but alien.
All of the complaints can be addressed by just waiting to watch the damn movie lmao let Gunn cook and watch the context for these brief snippets before judging

1) Did they say where and how damaged his lungs were? I only saw it once but I imagine it was vague
2) Maybe something in his DNA opens it like those car keys that open the car and let it start when you’re near or inside the car? Sci-fi explanations.
3) Maybe they call him Supes because that’s how he wants to be called
4) Yellow Sun might not hurt him per se but the sudden burst of energy is probably jarring to the system. They did say something that sounded like they were amplifying it too
5) Does it really matter? It’s a suit he’s wearing and if he can convincingly move in it then it’s fine.
6) Robot 12 may not be programmed the same as higher numbers are later models that get a range of SOME feelings. Or all the robots don’t FEEL the emotions but respond in some emotional ways to make them feel more comfortable to be around?
Idk just quick thoughts I had to answer

u/whiteoutgotu 20h ago
6 is easiest.
u/BobaTalks nailed it in his video.
The robots learn like Ai and 12 is the most advanced, therefore most like Clark, who isn't human, but, was raised by humans and he plays "human" (learning the same way as the robots, but, organically) whenever he's not on Superman duty.
I think those are mostly legitimate questions, though.
3 jumped out at me right away when I watched the sneak peek and I'm not even a huge Superman fan.
I would've assumed they'd call him Kal-El.

In the same way Superman can breathe with damaged lungs, he can also whistle. It probably hurts to do both.
The Fortress probably has some sort of self-awareness since it's Kryptonian in nature. It probably has some sort of sensor where it can activate in the presence of a Kyrptonian. But probably doesn't open automatically because just because your a Kryptonian doesn't mean you can just come in (Zod and his crew are out there somewhere). They probably have Krypto specific bark on file and know to open when he pulls up.
Because Superman....IS Kal-El and Kal-El IS Superman. They're used interchangeably.
Probably because whatever hurt Superman REALLY hurt him. Plus they amplified the sunlight to heal him faster which probably is uncomfortable. You could even argue that getting hit with that much sun energy in such a critical state probably didn't feel good either. He's Superman but things can and do in fact hurt him. Plus we don't know if maybe Kryptonite played a role in his state, which probably added to his discomfort
Maybe his mom made this version of the suit, and it's baggy for that reason. Or maybe that's just the style they went with.
Robot 4 might feel he has no consciousness but that's just Robot's 4 personality. And just because Robot 4 acts and thinks a certain way doesn't mean that every robot also acts and thinks like he does.

Its superman
Opens for superman, probably doesn't for anyone else. All you need to know.
Because he's Superman
His bones and organs are healing rapidly. This would be painful.
Because the director wanted it to be that way

1 - Idk i'm not a biologist nor an MD
2 - Good question, maybe some kinda of proximity sensor? it would explain how Lex get access to it
3 - ? this really matter?
4 - Someone said it could be the same as some types of wounds, which cause pain to cauterize, and that it would work the same for him, idk this works for me
5 - it is? it's looks a lot better to me
6 - Have you watched Star Wars? looks the same to me

Because he is Superman
Dumbass question. If the Fortress is hidden, of course it's going to have to rise. How else are you supposed to reach the door? It's hidden because it's hidden. It's called creative freedom and it looks cool. It also makes sense because satellites exist.
Because he is Superman
It doesn't hurt him. They are literally trying to heal him. Why would the robots hurt him on purpose? Super healing is usually portrayed as super painful because of moving bones and organs. Example: every Wolverine movie ever.
The costume is clearly based on All Star Superman where Superman is a lot more box shaped and less defined. The costume also wrinkles in the comic.
ThatsTheJoke.jpg The first robot clearly has a very serious personality and denies being sentient only to be proven wrong by the second robot and her excitement over Superman. The first robot was also obviously worried since he screamed Superman's name when he saw him unwell and hurt.

How does this poster know his lungs were damaged at all, or how much damage Superman's lungs can sustain before being unable to whistle, or how loud he whistled? Krypto has super hearing, even for a dog.
It looks like it rises when you are within a certain range and has two-factor authentication with the voice thing. GirlTech and convenience store door technology combined doesn't seem past Krypton.
3) Clark goes by Superman more than he goes by Kal-El.
4) Not sure about this, maybe stimulating rapid healing is overworking his body in other ways and he'll be fuckin hungry after this. This is the criticism I most agree with but we lack context, so who knows.
5) It isn't now and never was.
6) It looks like Superman gives robots more credit than they give themselves, or the new robot is special.

1) SUPERman 2) Detected Kryptonian DNA, but didn’t know it was of the House of El 3) He likely reprogrammed them 4) Hurts like hell to get a shot, doesn’t it? 5) Unsure what this one means? 6) They say, and believe, that they don’t have sentience but obviously are

1) His lungs weren’t that damaged, he screams, and talks to the robots later.
2) Safety, two step verification.
3)Because that’s what he wants to be called.
4) Because his bones are rapidly snapping into place and his tendons are reattaching themselves, that hurts.
5) It really isn’t, compared to set photos. And it’s just a creative decision.
6) Because Robot4 was wrong.

My question is where was krypto? He obviously wasn’t in the FOS because it was hidden. Just chilling in the snow?
