Krypto helped him. Superheroes get help all of the time.

And in the end, Supes beat Ultraman by himself.
Supes beat Ultraman and Lex with his team of nerds pulling the strings. The Engineer was putting in just as much work as Ultraman was. Supes beat them all.

Why didn't they let Ultraman keep the armor? He was basically Superman in an Ironman suit...

:russ: The Marvel and DC universe ain’t shyt. You have people like Reeds, Tony, Banner, T’Challa, Pym, and DOOM. Walking around and nobody wants to cure shyt lol. But they’ll be quick to create time travel or some other outlandish bs. I remember when Lex Luthor cured his sister’s paralysis. So she could walk again, only to reinfect her back into being handicapped.

:russ:Put this in the next movie Gunn. Lex ain’t shyt top 3 biggest hater in the game.

That's a contradiction.

The whole of Ultraman being effective was Lex controlling him because he isn't intelligent enough to fight on his own. Krypto taking out the cameras meant Ultraman had no chance of winning.
Right, Krypto helped Supes.

Ultraman ultimately was no match for Supes without the Lex tech, which was basically cheating.

Asian PAAGs are indeed some emotional woman

Dude applying nerd knowledge like there was a scene where a professor explains how kryptonians are no different that humans. :dead:

like how we didn't get an origin, gunn expects a certain base knowledge about who supes is and what kryptonians are.

like with cloning, gunn assumes we all know what that means (in 2025). [if he did that in the 1980's yeah he might need to but clone is a common movie trope these days].

that's not nerd knowledge.

knowing that dead languages can be deciphered isn't nerdy.

Lex literally says in the interview with Michael Ian’s character that many humans deciphered the language. :skip:

You’re assuming things about what capabilities the character is and isn’t. That shows poor writing when it’s up to the audience to think of what is or isn’t. All it would have taken was simple dialogue or a quick scene explaining how they knew.

nah.

superman lore is that kryptonians and humans are similar.

didn't superman returns and lois have a child in the previous movie?

maybe gunn should have explained it better with a sentence or two.

as for making up abilities:

Most of it stayed true to the comics, but that shyt was entirely to campy and cartoonish for me.

Would have preferred more character development too, they jumped right into the drama.

Superman looked weak AF in this movie too.

Mr. Terrific and Jimmy Olsen were probably the stars of the movie.

It was a step above mid. 6/10
