Superman Returns/Awesome: Difference between revisions

* When Lois Lane's {{spoiler|five-year-old son saves her from a mook BY THROWING A PIANO AT HIM. Thereby revealing who his real dad is}}.

* Lex Luthor gets one, too.

'''Lex''': '''''[[Memetic Mutation|WRONG!!!!]]''''' }}

* Since we're on the subject of Lex Luthor...

*** {{spoiler|[[Not So Harmless|Luthor shanking Superman with a jagged piece of Kryptonite]]}}.

* This Troper always felt that Lois' [[Muggle]] love interest deserved a CMoA award for his response when Lois gets the fax-machine message to the Daily Planet. Does he run whining for help? Does he sit around waiting for Supes to show up? Does he angst about the fact that he doesn't have super-powers himself? Nope, he just gets up and goes to rescue them anyway.

* There's also a subtle one when Lois demands they go back and rescue Superman. Keep in mind they're facing heavy winds, jagged rocks, and possibly people with guns. Richard considers it for only a second before he says "okay" and turns the plane around.

** Heck, same goes for the original 1978 movie, too; you know you're in for a treat when even the ''opening credits'' are epic.

* This troper always loved the scene when Superman is flying and remembers the words of His father:

** The combination of music,visuals and dialogue is just about perfect. Siegel and Shuster would be proud.

* Superman gets a small but important one during the scene when He on the receiving end of a truly brutal beatdown from Lex Luthor and his thugs. As he is being dragged away, one can hear him let out a defiant cry of "I'm Still Superman". Even without his powers and when evil is all around him, He is still a force for good and will never give that up even when the odds are against him. If there was ever any doubt that Singer loved this character, it disappeared with those words.
