Costumer's Replies


It would likely depend on which part of the spectrum the viewer sees in. Since the mechanics of an ion storm are never specified it is hard to be sure. However, I would think it likely that whatever an ion storm emits would likely be high on the electromagnetic spectrum so to humans and similar races oit would be unlikely to be visible. In the later series you mention it is likely that the ship's screens are rendering the storm into the visible spectrum. Late post, but just to play Devil's Advocate: Technically even if the twins were 110, they would still be the Children of Muad'ib, that is children of Dune. I'm still my parent's child even if I'm 61 and they're 93. Actually, the defense is not required to share evidence with the prosecution. Late response, but DMV as the Dept of Motor Vehicles is precisely what is being referenced. It is a common trope that waiting lines at the DMV are long and interminable. It might just be individual scenes. My wife and I saw it tonight. Not at all dark. Colors bright and everything easy to see. Not even in the top 10,000. However, Dr. Manhattan has appeared in one mini-series of comics and one movie with little follow-up since he first appeared. (there have been several re-issues). Superman has been as staple for 81 years. There have been good and bad Superman movies. There have been several TV shows which were generally successful. He has stood the test of time. Dr. Manhattan has not. I'm not dismissing Dr. Manhattan or the Watchman comic (or movie). It came from a different POV and did so successfully. But I still prefer Superman. Especially these days when so many seems to demand dark, troubled, questionable "heroes." I may be mis-rembering, but I believe it was stated that he arranged with and has permission of the hospital to film. If so, then he isn't doing anything wrong. Now, why the hospital would give permission is another question. Late reply, but my grandparents always did. They had a least a dozen all the time. The directors of the recent films obviously do not understand Superman. The most stark example occurs in BvS when Superman says to Lois that "no one stays good in this world." This comment is absolutely anathema to Superman. His entire character is belief in the inherent goodness of people (not just human beings). He has been described as a big, blue Boy Scout and that is truly who he is. [quote]But instead, it looks like we're getting the 'family dynamic', the 'relationship' crap, the 'parenting' crap, and all that boring stuff that we hated about the first movie anyway (who really enjoyed all those scenes where Bob is at his boring job, or where the parents are arguing, etc.?[/quote] Me for one. I want to know the characters as well as enjoy the super-hero action. The combination of the two creates a well-rounded, interesting story. If I don't know the characters, who cares if they succeed or not? live or die? Are you seriously claiming that they should have let the people on the bus die rather than destroy the plane? Remind me to never allow you to make any critical decisions. If you were in charge and had made that decision there would be a good chance of you facing charges of manslaughter or worse. I believe you are incorrect. Several sources I checked say it is a basic tenet of British law that an accused is innocent until proven guilty. Really? I've seen it dozens of times and love it. You are entitled to your opinion and it certainly as valid as mine. But don't project you're opinion on others. Its a movie YOU would not want to see twice. It is a movie that many more (certainly not all) would like to see again and again. A bit late, and it likely has nothing to do with the movie, but Didymous means Twin. St. Thomas was also called Didymous. It has nothing to do with epydidymous. It has been fairly consistent that Krypton's ruling council (which has had several names over the years.) is very obtuse. They often deny evidence and suppress those who challenge them. I haven't watched the TV shows. But a search does indicate that at least one of the animated TV versions does have Braniac being a construction of the Kryptonians. Having said that, I don't think a single example outweighs eighty years of continuity across multiple platforms that Braniac is from Colu. I can see some of your points. I have no idea if they hired an actual conlanger to develop the script for the show or not. There have been a couple of "Kryptonian" scripts published over the years. All of them suffer from being a one to one mapping of Kryptonian letters to the Roman alphabet. That is definitely a lazy way to go. Perhaps, if the show takes is successful, we'll see some more details developed. You don't know that, yet. We have seen very little of Braniac or what he was up to. He could have other purposes in the past or his method of travel was less precise than Adam Strange's. Shall we give it some time? I can't speak to recent events in the comics as I've only read a few in the last 20 years. However, originally at least, Braniac certainly was not created by Jor-el. Braniac was from the planet Colu. At first he was depicted as a Coluian man, but soon was changed to a agent of the computer rulers of Colu. (Braniac 5 of the Legion of Super Heroes is a descendent of a Coluian boy adopted by Braniac as camouflage. As for the Phantom Zone: it is a place. It was not created by Jor-el. In at least some of the comics he discovered it.
