Superman Returns opening scene..

[Hector]

Okay. Now THAT was screwed up. Whoever greenlighted that scene to even be written and shot evidently didn't know squat about Superman lore. I'm ancient [by today's standards], but common Superman canon is that Krypton completely blew the *%#@ up, not became a half-planet, half asteroid field. It kinda got vaporized when its Red Sun went supernova (which would incinerate pretty much anything and everything).

To make matters worse, they STILL have Kal-El begin affected by the green K even though, in the part of space he was in (even IF Krypton's sun DID still exist) he would NOT have his super abilities and would likely be immune to the irradiated pieces of his homeworld (not to mention the shielding on his ship must've been for crap for it to affect him at all!).

One can only hope that THE MAN OF STEEL will return Superman to his rightful spot as a box-office legend....

Agreed...agreed...and agreed...

[Brazoo]

I think a better point would be---WHY would you leave your adopted homeworld to go and seek out a place that your father told you was destroyed in the first place?!?!

And, okay, maybe, for artistic license (and for the creation of Kryptonite) Krypton wasn't vaporized, but i don't think there'd be a heck of a lot of it left, either....!

And, yes, 'Splodes is an accurate scientific term (at least as far as I'm concerned)....

You're right.

I'm glad we settled this and the 'splodes debate. Now we just need 300 million dollars to make our own Superman movie and we're all set!

I enjoyed the movie and thought Routh did a good job and did get the shaft. I just wish there was no Luthor and he had punched something.

I also agree with this statement...I like Superman Returns...but did not like the kid storyline though.

[Hector]

Wait a second. I was RIGHT! Someone get Hector!

I believe a few months ago I questioned the internal logic of movie "Superman Returns" based on the fact that Superman wanted to visit Krypton, even though it was an entire planet made of Kryptonite which was the only thing that could kill him, and Hector laughed at me. Laughed I tell you!

[Hector]

I liked the film....it had some great parts...and some slow stuff also....but I dont see where that missing part would have adding anything to the film. I thought Routh made a good Superman....and really got the short end of the stick in the whole thing....

Ok, I'm getting tired of agreeing...but yes...I agree...

[Brazoo]

OH!

That's it Hector! It's on!!!

[Hector]

Created because of Nuclear fusion from the exploding planet the remains of the planet become radioactive....thus it is Super lethal leading to death within minutes for them but also to humans because of the radioactivity that could cause cancer to humans....if I'm not mistaken i think Luthor got cancer at one time for being over exposed to it

In a real scenario...if a sun goes supernova...nothing...and I mean absolutely nothing...will remain of any nearby planets...lol.

[Hector]

OH!

That's it Hector! It's on!!!

Lessee----I have a dollar in my pocket. How far would that get us...?

[UnderdogDJLSW]

For some reason that scene made me think of the Enterprise entering V'ger.

Yeah---except that actually made SENSE and the ENTERPRISE evidently has much better shielding than Kal-El's crystalline ship...

[Bruce Banner]

Head a lot about this deleted sequence over the years.
Interesting to finally see it.

I liked that scene and it would certainly give some balance to the narrative in Returns.
I thought Returns was a decent flick and Routh was a pretty good Superman in a Christopher Reeves kind of style. My only disappointment with Returns was the use of Lex Luthor as villain yet again + they stole Cyclops when he was really needed badly in X 3
