I’m curious how many knee-jerk reactions even a minor site like mine is going to get saying things like that before I’m heard out. Yes, Gunn is more upbeat than Snyder when it comes to Superman. Yes, he might even be a better director. I have yet to see James Gunn’s Superman By James Gunn but going by reviews by people whose opinion I trust until I just got done listening to reviews, the movie sound kind of mid, with Mister Terrific doing more rescuing than Superman. Superman saves a little girl and a squirrel, but Michael Holt is the one who saves Lois and saves more people. Again, that’s from what I hear from people I trust to give an honest assessment from haters and…kind of likers alike. We aren’t talking about the movie directly, but some of the decisions made, and how Gunn defends them.
Zack “if you think heroes won’t kill you live in a fantasy world so shut up and watch my fantasy world where heroes kill” Snyder keeps trying to defend his poorly received story decisions in Man Of Steel, and the more he does the more I turn against it. I still stand by my initial review: Man Of Steel was a decent superhero movie but a bad Superman adaptation. Many of his story ideas were controversial, but he would come out and tell you it was actually really good and you’re just a hater for not liking his superior takes on Batman, Superman, and the rest of the Justice League.
Well, Gunn made a few adaptation errors of his own. I don’t mean the ones necessary between media types, I mean things that break multiversal continuity, including one he could have easily rolled back but doubled down on. So if somehow you haven’t heard spoilers for the former Superman: Legacy, there will be some here as I look into some of Gunn’s comments while I was on break and yesterday, and how, like Snyder, it shows more interest in his vision than happy fans.

Wait, wouldn’t that make him his own weakness?

Chapter by Chapter features me reading one chapter (or possibly multiple chapter for this one) of the selected book at the time and reviewing it as if I were reviewing an episode of a TV show or an issue of a comic. There will be spoilers if you haven’t read to the point I have, and if you’ve read further I ask that you don’t spoil anything further into the book. Think of it as read-along book club.
Yes, two chapters this time. Chapter 54 is like two pages while 53 is around five. I might as well combine them here.
Last time we checked in on Peggy and George’s side of the mission. This time we’re following the rest of Striker and for some reason going to Japan. I didn’t skim much because I want to enjoy the story. Or try to. You know my history with this book and series by now. And we’re still so far away from finishing this 78 chapter book even with all the really short chapters combining.
So by now I’m totally out of ways to pad this for the homepage. Let’s just get into the story.
