okay wait i wrote out some half-baked thoughts/questions/theories after having seen superman in theaters 3 times now
SPOILERS BELOW (minor, but still)
the significance of the number 3 throughout the film ("3 centuries, 3 decades, 3 years, 3 days, 3 minutes" in the intro, and 3 months with lois to complete the set)
clark's glasses are "hypno glasses"???? as in they make people perceive him differently?? if it was only guy talking about them, i'd be skeptical. but lois "knows" about them too, so it must be actual hypno glasses and not just a pair of normal glasses
with the internet and stuff, even reporters who don't often appear on television would have at least some online pictures/videos of what they look like. so maybe they introduced this "hypno glasses" tech to counteract that? so it's more plausible that people wouldn't put the pieces together that this clark kent reporter fella with public ties to superman looks quite a lot like the man of steel himself? (even if he does a really good job with the physical differences between his two personas. like, if i saw superman and clark kent on two separate occasions, i don't think i'd be able to put together that they look alike)
but speaking of people's perceptions of other folks' appearances, i wonder if jimmy's appearance is somehow being made to be more attractive than he actually is. they really make it a point to show that women are attracted to him (his coworkers, the working girls, eve--3 times again!!!). i wonder if people perceive him as looking like clark actually does. (or maybe he's just that attractive. he is a pretty good lookin' guy)
and lois questions how jimmy keeps getting all these hot women, and she's aware of the apparent appearance-cloaking technology of the hypno glasses. maybe she's impervious to the effects of this perception-altering tech because she's in the know?
kept thinking about kon throughout the movie. i could see him fitting really nicely into the narrative that gunn has (started to) set up
we are so back, babyyyyyy!!!!!!🙂↕️🙂↕️
