For those of you who don’t know, let’s get a quick lesson:

My (Mischievous) Thoughts On “Man Of Steel”

(***SPOILER ALERT!!***
If you haven’t watched “Man of Steel”, be warned that this post contains many spoilers. Do NOT read if you don’t want any suspense removed!
Also, if you don’t have any sense of humour, do NOT read on as well. Just go home with your sour self. :p )

So I (finally) watched “Man of Steel” recently, and I LOVED it! The makers brought joy to my geeky heart, and I enjoyed watching it with its glorious dialogue and make sense action (did you see Superman’s continual breaking of the sound barrier?!)

*bliss!!*

However, when some of the euphoria wore off, I decided to become a little mischievous, and point out some ‘issues’ I discovered in the movie. Some of these issues were subtle; others, not so much.

So…join me in satirizing exploring the three of them?

Man, Serving…

The aliens came, and the world prepared for war. However, each sent emissaries to discuss first. Earth’s returned, jubilant:

The Forest For The Trees…

“I have special powers…I can see your past, present, and future!”
She was frightened, as Madam Sheila accurately revealed details about her no one else knew.

His Weighty Sin

He kept washing and scrubbing his hands, but twas no good: he could still see them…stained with his sin.

False Prophets…

“This seat taken?”

She looked up to find the asker was a handsome gentleman. Esctatic, she immediately remembered the ‘prophet’s’ assurance that her future husband would sit beside her that day!

Leafy Lesson

For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.
Romans 5:10

The above passage was a mental block for me. It just didn’t make (total) sense. I mean for years oh…you know when they say you lagi mo somtin?
