That's the whole point of the line of questioning. If you don't give a shit, then your opinion as to how they shouldn't better fit together is fuckin worthless, man. You don't understand WHY someone would want to, so you can't HELP the people who DO want to. And if you can't help, then what's the point of wasting thousands of words saying otherwise?
Your argument has nothing to do with my argument. They're parallel.
I'm not saying you're not making sense. You are. The thing is, nobody's DEBATING what you're arguing. No one's even mentioning that. The whole premise is "If someone wants to try and make a TRILOGY out of the three movies, how would you best tie them together?" That's where I jumped in, after people started tossing around how to do that. If you think the first two and Returns are an island, then why waste the time to try and jump in at all? What's the point there? Or are you just arguing to argue because, as I figure, you don't really like the Singer flick and the mere IDEA of tying them together even closer than "the vague history" is offensive to you?
because "It's done. It's on DVD. Good night." seems like a strange line of thought for people who visit a fan-edit messageboard. If that was the line of thought people took with DVD's, this forum wouldn't exactly exist now, would it.
I think they're an island too, dude. I've said as much a couple times. I prefer Superman II to just END. No spinning back the world, no trip to the Diner, He drops Lois off, they agree to trust each other, he flies off and is Superman. That's my preference. But for the purposes of the discussion as to HOW to tie II into Returns closer so that Returns ends up being the end of the "trilogy" for these fan-edits, I can see how you could do it and still make sense of it, and that's what I'm talking about.
It's not that hard, man.
