He forgot to fix Mt. Rushmore


He forgot to fix Mt. Rushmore! Whoops! They should have added that in there of him flying to Mt. Rushmore and fixing the 3 villains faces, but maybe Superman was unaware of it, who knows.

The show Veep corrected it.

That is one of the funniest parts of the movie. Though I'm not sure it can really be fixed. Especially since they destroyed Lincoln's head.

Green Goblin is great! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1L4ZuaVvaw

All they had to do was reverse the damage done. Superman could use his heat vision to restore Lincoln's head, then the other three.

He probably did it after the move ended. Yawn. This is needless nitpicking. You can't show everything.

As opposed to “necessary nitpicking,”
like what I am doing now?

If that monument was brought down and destroyed today, it would be celebrated by the democrats

reply

They only build monuments to fentanyl addicts and gender confused idiots

reply

Yea, they would replace George Washington and Thomas Jefferson faces with George Floyds and Michael Browns

WRONG THREAD,WEIRDOS...POLITICS GOES IN POLITICS...WHERE THE FILTH LIVES.

But because of that scene, Superman 2 was a political movie so the discussion is warranted here

"Though I'm not sure it can really be fixed."

Why aren't you? You absolutely should be.

EVERYTHING can be fixed, because Superman can reverse time. He can bring people back to life, put criminals back to prison, prevent the prison from breaking, thus the mountains never get destroyed (well, beyond what they were already by the hack 'artist' that was hired to pervert the original, natural beauty of Mountain Rushmore (why is it always 'Mount' or 'Mt.', but never 'Mountain'? Also, isn't it interesting that you can't fully reverse 'Rushmore', because if you make it something like 'Relax less', you still get about the same meaning?)

So why aren't you sure, considering what we have been shown by TWO movies?

All 'fixing' and 'time-reversing' stuff aside, I always wondered why the VILLAINS are such artistic geniuses that they should absolutely stop being 'generic megalomanic thugs' and start being 'genius sculptor artists' instead...

Think about it, how quickly do these three not only synchronize their artistic vision, but laserbeam-sculpt (even though they JUST got this power) perfectly beautiful and realistic rock faces out of already existing other faces that actually resemble the people they're supposed to..?

These people can do it in SECONDS, it's like a combination of magnificent artistic abilities the likes of which the world has never seen before!

- SUPERfast sculpting
- Completely new, super-efficient method of sculpting invented
- Amazingly detailed likeness achieved
- Comparative proportions retained (not only proportions within a face (the parts of face) that are impeccable, but proportions of each face to each other and in comparison to the previous faces)
- Synchronizing three people's vision of a physically enormous art sculpture project
- Ability to not only sculpt something, but basically RE-sculpt already existing faces into completely different faces, which would require different technique for each face, because each face AND each face is different!

I mean, this is such a FANTASTICALLY ridiculously impressive artistic, creative and technical achievement, generations upon generations should be at least amazed about it as people have historically been about the Great Pyramids in Egypt!

It's a completely unique, never-before seen miracle, and this movie brushes it off, like it's nothing, and NO ONE REMEMBERS IT?!

Not even SUPERman with SUPERmemory remembers the MOST AMAZING ACHIEVEMENT of our.. well, their.. time?!

What kind of sense does THAT make?
