They never closed them. Most are religious based – and not just Catholic – and while some individual locations have closed, more have opened to take their place, and the biggest ones are still going strong.

They were never just Catholic here either. The closest one to me (on my way to work depending what route I pick) was run by the Plymouth Brethren on behalf of the Church of Ireland (Episcopalian equivalent) It was absolutely as bad as any of them.
It’s infuriating to me that people pick solely on the church (not even churches) rather than on the state that enabled it. Paid for it often. You know the part they voted for, supposedly they had control over it, and they let it happen.

Yeah. “Digitized into a video game” was bs enough. “Video game in the real world” is really pushing it

I would be willing to suspend my disbelief, but having Jared Leto as the lead is asking too much of me.

Sounds like someone’s gonna have to be put on the game grid.

“They have video game powers far beyond what physics allows. How can we possibly stop them?”
“I’ve undigitized someone with experience.”
“It’s-a me, Mario!”
…Look, I really don’t think that’s worse than whatever is happening here.

Liked that it wasn’t a origin story*. Krypto was fun. I enjoyed it.
*If you don’t know who Superman is it’s told to you in few minutes in the opening scene.

I always liked Paul Lynde. I somehow remember enjoying his extremely short lived tv show despite looking on wikipedia to realize I was like 3 or 4 years old. One of the better examples of Carson and the old days when late night talk shows were a little less scripted.

I thought it was immensely fun, if over stuffed with too much but that’s fine. I also adored this version of Clark/Supes, even as Supes he’s a bit cheesy and dorky and i loved that. Conservatives clutching their pearls because he’s not a dour sourpuss and genuinely wants to help people with his “gosh, darn it” attitude is hilarious. I just felt like he is exactly the right Supes we need now.

Lois Lane: You think everything is beautiful.
Superman: Maybe that’s the real punk rock.

That’s Supes somebody once said something like in All-Star Superman, Superman cures cancer. In All-Star Batman, Batman makes teenage Robin eat rats… Or something like that.

I remember something that Henry Cavill had said somewhere; that he had wanted to play the happy, optimistic Superman, not the grimdark Zach Snyder version.

I presume that Cavill gets that grim dark works best as satire. He is a Warhammer 40k fan after all.
