DSD,
I think Lois's line above was more to try and gain back some equilibrium, because Superman was taking her flying, and she--stubborn woman that Lois Lane is--was sticking to her guns about Richard at the time.
She has been living with a guy, raising a kid together for five years and needs to get back her equilibrium when her former lover turns up. You consider Lois stubborn for not immediately ditching her loser boyfriend?
Superman's reply was merely an observation about the difference between Richard's flying capabilities and his
If guy starts to explain why his car or… equipment etc are superior to your boyfriend’s, I think you better assume he is hitting on you.
MM,
Either have Superman tell Lois his suspicions about Luthor or just come clean about his identity. Either one probably would have been effective in stopping the wedding, so the fact that he did neither says to me that his love for Lois had limits. He was willing to allow her to marry Luthor instead of exposing himself. But when Lois decided she loved Clark, her love had no limits. She risked her very life to save his parents. To me, that is a very interesting and telling contrast.
We don’t know what he would have done. And Clark’s secret isn’t his alone. If she had ended up as Luthor’s wife, she would hardly been the best person to know it.
Yes, but in the movies I always get the impression that he views himself as Superman first and CK second instead of the other way around. That irritates me to no end, but it does make this understandable. His powers are who he is.
Which makes the love story uninteresting to me, why shouldn’t Superman be able to get the girl? Not caring whether he is loved for what he can do instead for who he is, makes him amazingly shallow IMO.
And I can't blame the guy for pointing out certain advantages.
I think you can, if you go out of your way to wreck a family. Not that Lois needed much encouragement to start cheating on her boyfriend.
