The intro flight scene never gets old. I could watch it on loop.

Superman feels like a comic book brought to life. James Gunn embraced the Silver Age aesthetic with all the colors, the fantasy, the weirdness and the surrealism in order to adapt Superman as he's always been without being ashamed of that. This is how DC must be.

Well said brother well said 🙌🏾!

Thanks. 🙌

This scene made me feel a childhood wonder that I haven't felt since I watched my grandpa's VHS tape of the old Fleischer cartoons as a kid. I genuinely felt like that one scene from Ratatouille. That's how I knew that Superman was back.

@enby_kensei It’s beautiful 🙌🏾

Remember thats he just lost for the first time ! There is a evil villain in metropolis right now causing chaos and destruction but he's flying slow and doing spin tricks smiling having fun while people could be DYING he could get back in 10 seconds

So could I apply the same metric with Man of Steel’s first flight scene? There are so many people dying around the world, and he’s doing tricks and flying around. Also, the Hammer didn’t do much except laser that building. Also, Lex was also using the Hammer to degrade Superman.

Lol thats funny , but superman can't trust that he's gonna be floating there like a npc waiting for him to come back he's a super villain also he beats him again and when he gets up he's just simply done for the day he let's the hammer just fly away

And he's only a few blocks away he's not even gone from the city , superman should have got up thanked the guy that helped him up and went back to work !

Again read my quote tweet.

Imagine Man of Tomorrow has a longer flight scene and version of the Last Son track.

La majestuosidad de este vuelo, todavía no fue superada.

Never gets old?

Yes.

This scene isn't that good. I come to the conclusion that the soundtrack is so good that it carries it. Doesn't have a big meaning or anything for the rest of the film but i appreciate it's old fashion earnestness.

@Krerart The scene does have an impact. It sets the tone for the entire film and displays what to expect from this iteration of Superman.

He didn't see her? Even though she's wearing black in white snow, or hear her talking

Why does that matter?

It doesn't, but would have made sense, this is the best flying sequence of the entire movie though,

I mean there wouldn’t be much of a reason for that to matter.

I love how Supes passes the camera for a second, the camera turns around, and he's already a speck in the distance. Great way to show his speed.

He knows that he's getting his ass beaten (again) but he's still going with a giant smile. That's my goat!

So ass

You can always watch something else 🤷🏾♂️

True

Yk ball 🤝

I dead ass listen to this every day for motivation😂😂, both last son & look up (the good luck with that version)

Factually fr fr I’ve watched it 100000 times lowkey fr

Me too 😂

fuck... I love this movie

Why does his head move like this?

He’s trying to stabilize his flight, his whole body is moving like that, not just his head.

Why does he need to stabilize his flight? Watch his head. It stays level while his body rotates.

Why would he not, I think you should look at the scene lol.

Because he is superman. Is he learning to fly?

You’re arguing semantics at the end of the day. Him moving a little while flying isn’t a big thing. He’s not learning to fly; he’s just stabilizing himself. Don’t play dumb.

I am not arguing, you are. You decided to come and defend it. I simply asked why he moves like that. It looks odd.

You’re not arguing 😭?

How is it that man of steel did it do much better

Why always fly like a missile? Must hurt his neck.

looks like someone took it on an iphone. This is the lowest form of Superman

You can always go watch something else lol

I’m pleased that you like it. But it is A.I. Looking slop of the highest order. David looks bug-eyed in the flying shots and the whole thing has a Temu-made-for-TV CW Superman whiff about it. It’s dog shit. Pun intended given Krypto is the worst thing in it.

What were you achieving by writing all this? Also you have proof that it’s AI?

I said it has the *look* of A.I. That bland soulless look of slop. James Gunn took Superman and made him into a side character in a DC Guardians of the galaxy knock off. Man of Tomorrow will be the last film in the James Gunn DCU.

It really doesn’t.

I kinda hope every #Superman film going forward - how at the end of the Reeve’s film, it would end in space & him flying away smiling - starts off with him flying from the Fortress, smiling at us then the closeup to his family crest, leading into the Superman title screen.

Even better with Hans Zimmer score

The room: [silence] Some person: “😍Superman 2025 is sOoOo amazing” The room: [painful silence] Y’all try SO hard to boost this mid-ass movie. That’s how we know that [you] know the movie is ass. Because you keep trying SO hard.

“The alien is on his way back” is just so poetic man

you should since real movies are wasted on you

I remember when I saw this scene and it was like I was a child watching old superman media again. Just really brought me back to the time as a kid I loved comics before the MCU and snyderverse burned me out. I remember (bad movie but) watching superman 3 when I was sick...

Movie suck

The most hedious thing I have ever watched. The greatest disservice to Superman

You don’t know Superman then.

When he's flying 🤣

Everything about this scene and when that music hits. After watching then rewatching the movie that song was on repeat. It hits…

The music🔥
