Why is there a picture of Homer Simpson?

Anyways, if I'm being honest the only Reeves film I enjoyed was Superman 2.

The first Superman film could have been THE greatest comic book film of all time if it weren't for that stupid f*cking "turn back time by reversing Earth's rotation" scene.

That scene was to illustrate that he traveled back in time by traveling faster than the speed of light. Not that he actually reversed the Earth's rotation, ass.

Why does that matter with what I said.

Seems like Robtard is the only Reeve's Superman scholar on KMC.

That's what a Reeve's Superman layman like yourself sees when looking at the scene with his Reeve's Superman layman eyes.

A true Reeve's Superman scholar like myself sees through the cheesy 1978 SFX and sees the scene as to how it was really meant to be portrayed. YW; n-e-Thing else you need xplain'd?

It's legit. Superman does wacky shit in the comics all the time lol. One time he busted out "soul vision" cuz reasons. But that was more recent, but even back in the day Superman did wacky time travel stuff. One time he just shoved a plane so hard it time traveled lol. The was pre crisis Superman though. He'd bust out other random powers too, like sending telepathic waves to the daily planet, cuz reasons.

So him busting out "Repair the great wall of china" vision is also in character , lol. As is his apparent ability to summon saran wrap.

Some sad news that I guess could relate to Reeve. Margot Kidder's death was ruled a suicide.
