Around The Web: Not-So-Superman


Every once in a while I encounter something on the internet that annoys me. Well, maybe more than every once in a while. But every once in a while something on the internet annoys me so much I feel the need to blog about it. So perhaps these kinds of posts will come semi-regular from me.

I found this story about Man of Steel thanks to a Cracked.com article I was reading. Yeah, Man of Steel is a movie that is over sixth months old but I still get annoyed when I’m reminded of it. It’s not even like I despised the movie. I liked some parts but I just thought the movie overall was very flawed. Then I read this relatively small story about an interview with director Zack Snyder and suddenly my gears were grinding like crazy. Here are the five things that bothered me the most in the article:

5,000 People Died: That's right, 5,000 people. To put that into perspective, that's more deaths than the Unibomber bombings, the Oklahoma City bombing, the World Trade Center bombing, the 1996 Olympics bombing, the Boston Marathon bombing and 9/11 combined. Basically, Superman is partially responsible for one of the greatest tragedies on American soil.
