This was John Byrne's complaint about the awesome Superboy character that he deleted. He couldn't understand why anyone could care about the adventures of Superman as a boy, since he could never be in mortal danger.

Nevermind that comic readers knew that the adult Superman would never be killed off permanently in his comics, since, they were Superman's comics.

The prequel portions of Godfather II were pretty amazing, even though you knew how it would end up for Vito and Clemenza. I really enjoyed X-Men first class, even though I knew that Charles and Magneto were never in danger of losing their lives.

I've already covered the comic book VS Star Wars comparisons. And the Godfather comparison is asinine. That was a brilliant cast, director, writer, etc... I don't feel like further expounding on that. The prequel parts were in service to a larger story and hadn't already been told in a different movie.

I'll just say this:

The only chance this movie has is that Kasdan wrote it. So there's a good chance it won't assrape Star Wars established Lore into the ground. But all of the rumors have been terrible, it's been through three directors, Kathleen Kennedy is the Producer, there's a rumor that the lead can't act, Glover on SNL as Lando was horrendous, etc...

I hope it's amazing, I do, but I know better. And I'm not supporting anything Kathleen Kennedy touches anymore. She's been an executive producer on some amazing movies in the 80s and 90s and then around 2001 she started to just preside over dogshit movies that culminated in TLJ.

Also, if anyone needed another reason to hate her, she's also responsible for The Last Airbender movie and Indiana and the Crystal Skull,
