Superman II (1980)

In honor of the James Gunn Superman, we continue our Supermonth!
This week on Myopia Movies, we leap tall plot holes in a single
bound and confront the chaos of Superman II (1980)—a sequel
caught in a tug-of-war between two directors, studio meddling,
and a trio of space fascists in disco pajamas. We ask: Does the
Man of Steel’s second outing still soar, or does it crash under
the weight of tonal whiplash, questionable powers, and a very
random kiss of forgetfulness?


Join us as we revisit the strange saga behind the scenes, mourn
the Donner cut that could have been, and try to figure out how
cellophane chest symbols became an acceptable weapon.


Tune in, or kneel before Zod.
