Antibishonen Speaks: Lex Luthor's Stupid Diabolical Plans

Hey everyone, this is Antibishonen Speaks bringing up current events and relationships. Alright, you already know Man of Steel is appearing in theaters. But, did you know there was a Superman movie that came out in the 70s? Of course you do!

However, despite critical acclaim by bringing back the superhero genre, Superman was actually flawed, but fans like me tend to overlook it because it's Superman. Not anymore! Today, let's take a look at the flaw that made Superman the movie infamous! And now you're thinking that I will talk about Superman reversing time, right? Wrong! I'm not because that joke was already run to the ground. Even Dr. Pepper made a crack at that!

Actually, there's another Superman flaw that people should have been talking about, but don't because they focus on spinning the Earth backwards. Again, joke been done to death!

So, what's the fatal flaw? That part is none other than Lex Luthor's diabolical plan.

I can give credit for making Lex Luthor as a devious businessman, but he makes stupid decisions. Yes, even more than Donald Trump's Obama's tirade. Superman the movie may had problems, but the third act takes the cake. By the time Lex Luthor intercepted the missiles, he tells Superman his plan.

So, what's his diabolical plan? To take over the world? To kidnap the president? Enslave the human race? Hold a city for ransom? Defeat Superman? Nope! Lex Luther is using his diabolical plan to nuke California so that it would displace the state and make his worthless land more valuable.

That is a stupid idea Lex Luther and coming from a businessman no less! There's one huge problem about this plan! Have you ever heard of FALLOUT?

There are reasons why nobody and I mean nobody would dare to follow his devious real estate plan! Having high levels of radiation in your land would become worthless because it's inhabitable! Even if your plan actually worked, nobody (and I mean nobody) would pay big bucks to get a contaminated land that would shoot half-life through the roof!

Not to mention, missiles don't work that way! Keep in mind, I'm no expert at military warfare. However, I love making theories. Yes, bombs and missiles can level buildings, but I don't think it would cause an earthquake, let alone displace California! Earthquakes are caused by land displacements UNDERGROUND! Missile attacks are surface based and the worst impact it could happen is a gigantic crater sticking out where the missiles landed!

If Lex Luthor wanted something that would at least cause an earthquake, he would have wired millions of dynamite underground. But even that wouldn't displace California.

This is the Superman movie we're supposed to take seriously and we got a plot similar to the Adam West's Batman TV series! Talk about irony. Even more ironic is the fact that Lex Luthor made a similar plan in Superman Returns except the land is cover with Kryptonite!

It would have been fine if Lex Luthor got the missiles so you can hold a city for ransom or have it targeted at Washington DC! Cliche, yes, but it makes more sense than bombing a state so you have nuclear-ridden worthless waterfront properties. I still can't believe they only talked about the earth spinning backwards. You know what? Fine. I'll say this just once: Remember Superman 2 where Superman kissed Lois Lane to erase her memory? Ridulous yes, but guess what? In the Richard Donnor's cut, Superman spin the earth backwards AGAIN! I wondered what the fandom would be like had the producers keep Richard Donnor.

Also, it would have been fine if Lois Lane died so producers would have a deeply-angst Superman that would still stand by his principles. In that case, we have fans stick around after seeing this horrible tragedy, knowing it would forever scar his life.

Besides, we have producers caving in by having Superman hook up with Wonder Woman. That will be covered some other time.
