Man of Steel

[The Man]

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.

So you're just going to insult my argument? That's it? You have nothing to say about Superman not being an experienced fighter? Nothing to say about the people he's facing being trained killers? Nothing to say about him being in a race against time to stop a genocide of all humans? Nothing to say about the detailed scene-by-scene overview of every fight scene in the film? All you have to say is "Those arguments are dumb"? Wow.

Apparently, you think bringing up canonical plot points of a film is dumb. Granted, I probably should have expected this after your behaviour in the Star Trek Into Darkness thread, where apparently it took a Cracked article for you to admit you were wrong.

In case it wasn't obvious, I'm pretty smurfing offended.

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?

The fact that my explanations about Superman being inexperienced, the Kryptonians being experienced, Superman being in a race against time to stop genocide, etc., are, in most of these cases, EXPLICITLY STATED IN THE FILM, and in the first case, extremely smurfing obvious due to the fact that Superman has never fought a Kryptonian before the events of the film, and is pretty plainly way more powerful than any humans. If people fail to absorb crucial plot points revealed IN THE FILM ITSELF and come up with explanations that contradict those plot points, then yes, their explanations are incorrect.

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.

Well, if the alleged plot hole they claim to have found is explained in the story, which it is, then yes, it actually is minor, or rather, non-existent.
