Now many of you have seen on this site and others that the Superman franchise is going to do a reboot…..again. Now some of you out there in movieland have begun to rejoice and I can sympathize with your feelings, but personally this saddens me and I will tell you why.

Way back when during the pre-production of X-Men 3 Brian Singer was attached to direct. The X-Men franchise was his baby, and we had to strong movies so far, X-Men 2 being the better. But then Brian Singer was offered the chance to direct a new Superman movie and he left X-Men only to have it directed by Brett fucking ass Ratner. This move ruined what could have been a fantastic ending to the X-Men series. (X-Men 3 was alright but a let down in the end).

Now I understand the grievances people have with the first Superman that Singer made. It was a nuanced and subtle movie, low on action, high on dramatic romance. But I know in my heart that Singer just wanted to reintroduce the series on a high note, a different level, similar to the way the new Batman series has raised the bar. I also know in my heart that the second in his series would have been action packed. The best idea would have been for some sort of creature to come from the kryptonite asteroid that Superman launched into space. This creature could come to earth, have the same strength as Superman, somehow kills his super son and then…..wait for it……. Superman fucking goes bazerk fucking roid rage on this creature in one giant fucking battle. We get the best of both worlds, killing off superman’s annoying asthmatic son and we get to see the Man of Steel go to town for once.

That said, with Singer not doing a sequel, I wish he had never left X-Men, had finished it and was now filming Wolverine. Oh well, can’t change the past……fuck I wish I could fly around the Earth and turn back time….fuck.
