Tragedy, sex and Superman
According to Parry White, Editor of Daily Planet, these three things are the only things that sell a newspaper. And to paraphrase the man: Since everyone is tired of tragedy, and you can't write sex stories, so stick to Superman.
Well, I am sick of tragedy, I can write sex stories, but I'm not putting them on here, so I'm going to blog about the Man of Steel.
SPOILER!
PROCEED WITH CAUTION!
Don't scroll down anymore if you have not watched the movie.
Anyway, we did go and watch the movie and I won't go into details about it. Hell, I won't be even reviewing it. Instead, we are going to walk through the talk that we had when we stepped out of the cinema.
Now, 8 of us went to watch the movie: Me, Richard, Raj, Daniel, Zen, SanSan, YK and Fat Ai Ling. And because Superman II (SR is a sequel to Superman II, if you guys did not know) was our parents' generation and we did not watch, or forgot about it as we were still small when it came out (SII came out in 1978), the question that everyone was asking was:
When did he do her?
Now, if you are wondering why we would be asking this question, there could only be three reasons:
A: You did not watch the movie. (You are so gonna regret it if you continue reading)
B: You are fell asleep halfway and did not see a little boy throw a piano.
C: You are plain stupid?
Or you just did not see the importance of such question.
But since we do, we were bombarding Raj about it (he was apparently the most well-read among us, well-read in comics that is). And he told us that he did her (Superman did Lois, not Raj did Lois) in SII. Ahh... now I see.
And I found out that he did her in the Fortress of Solitude (my curiosity got the best of me) and other questions might include:
So did she still remember the hot steamy night there?
Why did she forget that Clark is Superman?
Do you think that Superman remember that hot steamy night?
But instead the question turned to how is it possible that Superman impregnant Lois Lane. One may think that that they are the different species and cross-breeding is against natural selection.
But instead, the question was like:
He is Superman, won't his sperm have super powers and penetrate the womb or something?
Wahlaueh, like that also can talk.
But it sounded plausible. I mean, look at it this way. Ejaculation can be a very powerful force, so Superman being Superman, he has immense strength, and so first Law of Newton deduced that the sperm would have enough force to penetrate the walls of the uterus.
Zen: "And penetrate all the way and come out at the mouth." (doubling over and pretend to vomit)
Ewww...
Or you could look at the other way. Superman has damn a lot of strength (hell, he could spin Earth backwards) and he controls his strength to human-level. But at the moment of orgasm, it is very hard to have control over your own body and so won't his gigantic strength be unleashed at that moment, tearing her into two, literally.
Ok, too literal. We'll stick with the super strong sperms.
And so how did Superman do Lois if the conditions were like that?
We came out with a few ideas.
Idea 1: Mind over body.
Superb control at the point of ejaculation is needed. Repeat the litany: "Do not shoot, dribble, dribble, dribble.
Idea 2: Kryptonite scatter on the bed.
Even I a non-Superman fan knows that Kryptonite is bad for Superman. It weakens him to human-level strenght. So can la, like that. No problem wat... sperm also reduced to normal human sperm level wat.
Idea 3: Kryptonite powder.
Placed in a pepper shaker, and used by shaking the powder over the penis before doing her. Works the same way as Idea 2.
Can you imagine if they used coitus interruptus (where the male withdraw the penis before ejaculation), the sperm would spray out like bullets. Can penetrate steel walls. Awesome.
But since we did know what they did within the crystal fortress, we fast forward to the latest movie and look at the outcome of such a hot steamy night in the middle of Artic.
Outcome 1: Bad relationship.
The guy wants the girl, the girl hates the guy.
Outcome 2: Putlitzer Prize.
Long story, watch the movie.
Outcome 3: So cuuuuutttteeee boy!!
The boy is sooooo cuuttee!! SQUEAL!!! The son of Superman, so adorably innocent and with that asthma and all, people won't even figure out that he is Superman-to-be. Wah!! So cute! Want to pinch his cheek. Wheee...
We think that the boy inherited human's immunity to Kryptonite. So since Kryptonite is Superman's only weakness, won't that make Jason White super invincible??? Almost like god-like?

Don't forget that red underwear.
I don't really like the cape. To quote Edna: No Capes.
Ryu is the kind of guy who can...
no, will change the world.
I'm not surprised that you're worried about him...
