By the end of that Superman trailer, I was convinced it was a TV series. Way too many characters.

Was unaware of the Ironheart property until this coverage by Blue. I'm putting it into the same category as the new Superman -- I'll probably watch it when it hits the movie channels.

I am not going to pretend like I am not going to watch both, but I am more optimistic about the Ironheart series than the Superman movie. Would not have called that in a billion years. I have already watched and read a few different versions of young, naive, borderline stupid Superman learns to navigate a world that both loves and hates him. Not that I was expecting anything different, that is who the character is as a young man. I just don't think another version of that story is going to "wow" me. Ironheart is a relatively new character that has a story and background I don't know anything about. A TV show can dive into subplots and support character depth in a way a movie won't. I have liked most of the episodes in Ms Marvel, Daredevil Reborn, She-Hulk, Falcon and Winter Soldier, Hawkeye, etc so I have high hopes for Ironheart. and who knows...maybe Superman will surprise me.

Wow, that Superman trailer....just....crap crap crap.

I have to admit I was not particularly impressed by it. That said, when it finally makes it to the movie channels, I probably give it a chance. I have already seen so many movies which were somewhere between okay and terrible -- another won't hurt too much.

That's more or less what I expect from a millennial/genZ generation take on Superman. That's not me throwing shade; there is a distinct difference in tone of a franchise as it progresses through generations. Christopher Reeves' Superman had a very distinct feel for its generation as well. I am willing to give it a chance.

If these stunts were half as dangerous as they hype, he'd be dead multiple times over already.

Make no mistake, the stunts that Cruise does on his own at his age are incredible (Still not as impressive as Jackie Chan though). But, yeah, "overhyping" and "Tom Cruise" definitely go hand-in-hand.
