jesus the ubermensch? - doubt this will be too much of a spoiler, but if you're paranoid about movies being ruined, then read no more. anyone notice the intense jesus allusions in superman returns? it's actually almost impossible not to notice..."does the world need a saviour?" the film muses early on...then to superman hearing "everything" - and ( Read more... )

yeah. that last scene was pure plagerism. and I quote...

Corinthians 1: ...and Jesus with kryptonic mass in tow, hurled the evil continent into the darkness of space, taking with it non-christians, homosexuals, believers of evolution, the Arabs, pacifists, hippies, black people, unwed mothers, the dixie chicks, Hugo Chavez, communists, the alternative fuel sources, birth control, stem cell research, rap music, and the platypus. And having rid the Earth of all evil, said the lord to the huddled masses "Go Knicks"

I'd like to point out that although the things you have talked about have always been part of superman, you never seemed to have a problem with them when it was Smallville. Did the love interest in this movie not reach Kristen Kreuk levels of mesmerism?

weird, i've never really heard about the association of Superman and Jesus. i don't recall such intense illusions in the comics, although admittingly, i didn't read that much superman. however, it was generally known that superman was a tool for american propaganda, he was the ultimate american hero (i think there's even an issue where he's battling communists).

american hero...jesus...... hmmm maybe the movie is more loyal than i thought!
