This picture made me think: I really like the idea of an alternate universe Celestia being nuts with power like with Superman in some current-day stories (see Justice League and Injustice).

@sargesprinkles  
Bu-but it’s fun!  
:D

@Prof.NightJack  
don’t you bring that silver age nonsense in here

@sargesprinkles  
Well he IS a dick!  
 
:D

@Aharon L’anglais  
i should wash your mouth with bleach for suggesting that the real superman would turn evil voluntarily

This is why Discord and Mr. Mxyzptlk exist… to keep Celestia and Superman from ever being serious enough to become tyrants.

@Background Pony  
It’s Jor-El…

Come to me son of Zor-El! Kneel before Celestia!

@sargesprinkles  
but hey it’s zack snyder the guy who brought us watchmen,300 and finally sucker punch already had worries when he was the director.

the problem i have is that Superman is my favorite comic character and i love the first two movies (both versions of superman 2, even)  
so when i see a movie where side characters keep spiting out about how moral and righteous clark kent is (cuz now everyone knows who he is) yet we’ve never seen any evidence of this in the hour and half of nothing and flashbacks of nothing because the writers didn’t feel like taking the safe route of establishing anything character wise and then cut to a 50 minute fight scene loses any emotion impact that it might have had in the first 10 minutes only to keep going, i get kinda disappointed

@ClownDicks  
It sure is

@Prof.NightJack  
Amusingly enough, it’s because of MLP I appreciate characters like Supes or Captain America more now, and turn went back to Celestia but I digress.

@sargesprinkles  
Nolan was only the producer

@good background pony  
I might get a even bigger backlash for this, but I don’t care at all for most Superman things, I just don’t like him, nothing wrong with him just not my thing.

 
What was the point you were trying to make OP?

@sargesprinkles  
honestly i might get a huge backlash at this but superman returns had character developement while man of steel didn’t,but man of steel was more enjoyable.

@Dr Outback  
It’s good to be the King Queen God-Empress.

she never wanted her subjects to fear her they just do

Try harder Background Pony.

In any case, Celestia for Pope!  

@Ore-O  
no  
no it is not  
cuz iron man had charm  
this had “weeeeee, we’re being artsy.” and then it turns in to 45 minute boring cartoon

@Background Pony  
To be fair, it’s hard to argue that killing the Joker is anything but a good thing.

@good background pony  
It’s Iron Man, but with a Kryptonian instead.

@good background pony  
and that’s the huge problem  
especially since Superman is supposed to be a character story

@Background Pony  
Don’t forget how he killed Captain Marvel.
