I'm in the minority, I guess

I guess I'm in the minority when it comes to James Gunn's upcoming take on Superman.

Dave Cullen has high hopes:

Dan Murrell is optimistic, but with a few small reservations:

Jeremy Jahns is all smiles:

And Chris Stuckmann is ready to go:

I dunno. Maybe I'm totally wrong about this. I think a lot of us are butthurt that poor Henry Cavill—who was a fine Superman despite his being part of the wave of British actors in American roles—got booted in his prime and never really had the chance to be in a great Superman movie. I also remain annoyed by the new Clark Kent's moppy hairdo, the overstuffed cast, and by the presence of the dog Krypto, who is apparently also from Krypton (the character dates back to the 1950s), and whose presence on Earth brings up all sorts of scientific and philosophical questions that I'm sure the movie will provide no answers to.*

I'm still not sold on the new movie. But feel free to try to convince me otherwise.

*For example: while we might use parallel evolution as the go-to explanation for why Superman is so human (to the point where he can have sex with Earthlings and, in some storylines, have children with them, implying tight genetic compatibility), can we use parallel evolution to explain how and why Krypton also had dogs? Dogs that behaved for the most part like Terran dogs? Then there's the question of Superman's and Krypto's brains. For these beings to have the speed and reflexes they do, their brains have to operate at the same, incredibly fast level. This would make Superman orders of magnitude smarter than the smartest Earthlings—far smarter than Lex Luthor, far smarter than Bruce Wayne, etc. But he's never shown as being orders of magnitude smarter. (Obviously, this is mostly because a character is only as smart as the person writing him.) And what does this mean about Krypto's brain? You could say, "Well, it's just a dog's brain," but he's a Kryptonian dog blessed with a brain far faster than any human's. You'd think the dog would have at least human-level intelligence that would allow Krypto to master his canine emotions and make him super-rational, thus changing his behavior from anything recognizably doglike to something truly alien. His only limits would be from his canine anatomy.

And these questions are only the tip of the iceberg.
