While I disagree with you, I must commend you for writing well-thought out arguments about why you like MoS. I have never heard any argument for that film that actually made me think, as everyone I know that likes it just says “the effects are better” and “theres more action” and stuff like that. I still don’t like the movie but at least now I feel like I understand why anyone would.
I need to find my old “big book of first appearances” and reread Action Comics #1 now.
