Honestly, I didn't address your arguments specifically because I read it and thought, "are you troutting me? this is so dumb"
That was my legit reaction which is why I didn't want to go line by line explaining why I think it's all so inane. There was so much REACHING. Just reaching reaching reaching to come up with explanations. And the biggest thing is, what makes you think that your explanations are more legitimate than the explanations other people come up with in their heads? Why is, "Oh, Superman was absolutely way too involved in the fights to help anyone else" any more legitimate than, "Big destructive action sequences are fun to watch!" Don't try and push your fan made explanations on me, I have my own explanations for why things happened the way things happened. I'm not trying to stop you from making up your own explanations if they make you happy. I do that all the time with movies and books and TV shows. Just don't go around acting like your explanations are canon. They're not. Not until the writers or the director flat out spell out that this was their intention, and even then, it might still be dubious.
Even your "appeal to popularity fallacy" crap is reaching. The very definition of nitpicking is to be overly critical of minor details. When many different people, separately and of their own accord notice and criticize something, then it's probably not minor and it's probably not being overly critical. So bringing up the fact that it's a notably common criticism expressed by many different people is god damn relevant when someone claims nitpicking. I mean, it kinda goes right to the heart of the meaning of the word.
Holy trout, Jessica Chastain would have been INSANE!! And now I am sad that this isn't a reality. I love her.Originally Posted by Shiny
