He is the most powerful being on earth; can we please capture that?

Superman is the most powerful being on earth. He is a god. We have never really seen that, or the associated struggles, captured on film.

Oh yes we have seen him lift planes and boats but neither captured the truly awesome power of a god on earth. They were examples limited by the imaginations of human demonstrations of strength. We need to think bigger – on a scale of legendary awesomeness that has not been conceived before (btw, taking  a bullet in the eye, rescuing damsels in distress won’t really cut it).

Also, we need to demonstrate invincibility please. Remember watching the Terminator and being amazed that Arnie was still in pursuit? Remember that breath taking moment – just when you thought he was dead he appeared again? That’s the feeling we need to recreate for the audience – breath taking unearthly invincibility.

I was very excited when watching this promo for DC universe:


Do you see how he deals with Captain Marvel (see from 3.30)? He’s nothing. A nat. That’s a glimpse of the man we want to see on the big screen please.
