Well, it’s always been petty antagonism to some degree. But that said, I find that the reaction typically has as much to do with what the reader’s position is as it does with what is said. If you hated Man of Steel, you tend to cheer a little bit when it’s criticized. And if you loved Man of Steel, you tend to take umbrage over the same thing. To me, it’s simple: people ask me questions, and they want honest answers to them (as many of the more outraged questioners often insist). So if I’m asked a question about something related to this, that’s what I’m going to give you to the best of my ability. And some will like the answer, and some will not.
I liked Man of Steel well enough, though I understand the criticism it gets (even agree with a good amount of it). However, Bruce Wayne running straight towards the collapsing building does seem like a Batman thing to do.
As for plot points, I try not to guess too much with Trailers. It made me want to see it. If Tom here doesn’t feel the same way, that’s fine. We’re all different. I hope it’s good. If it’s not, it’s not going to bother me that much. Learned my lesson with expected too much out of movies with X-Men The Last Stand… still not over that one… Kelsey Grammar as Beast was cool though.
