This robot giggles in Superman Sneak Peek is the secret to James Gunn’s success

With a wide issue of five minutes Superman is watching This was first shown at Cinemacon at the beginning of this week, one thing stands out even more than nice (if painful for Superman): This is the fact that James Gunn understands the most important thing he can do to restart not only a man of steel, but the entire DC universe is to take care of the characters. All characters, great and small, cryption and human, dogs, and, yes, even a robot. Giggling robots.

The extended preview contains the material from the movie that we saw earlier, including of course the incredibly charming super dog, Kal-El arrives on the ice stage when his master is at a real low point. But it expands from this sequence with The first trailer of the filmShowing us that the crypto is largely, which Gunn described him. Yes, Superman is bloody and beaten, begging the crypto to take him “home”, but he wants all the puppy. And he makes this point, jumping on the wounded supes with all his super-PSA strength, and even pulling Kal-El’s leg into an extremely awkward, but completely reliable pose. “Play with me, Dad!” He says, in deeds, if not words. It is all very funny and makes you love crypting even more than already. Oh yes, you’ll believe that a super-powered dog can fly-and be loved.

But superman Is Wholesale, and the crypto finally gets it, bringing Kal to the fortress of loneliness. And that’s where we meet this giggling robot, who is one of the keys to understand why James Gunn is so good at what he does. But before we get to this, think that for the first time we saw the version of Gunn’s last son Krypton in action, he was in poor condition – he defeated, bleeding, needing him dog save him. And we don’t know yet who has thrown this penalty, so this first picture of the Superman Gunn and broken version is not in favor of submitting the villain. There is no “see how terrifying this antagonist is because they beat hell from a man of steel.” The purpose of starting the entire marketing of this film is to show Superman in difficult straits and need help. It is far from the typical introduction of every superhero, not to mention . Superhero, but it makes sense with Gunn.

This is the Harrison Ford team. Which is not as much a band as it is a reasonable Ford’s force on the screen. Anyway, think about how rough Jones is. We don’t love him because he is so good in combat; This is because he is tired and pain, just like the rest of us. Think of a frightened appearance on Ford’s face, when he fled in the fugitive, a desperate man jumped off there to prove his innocence. Think about hurting Han Solo’s face, fully bruised ego when he thought Leia was in Łukasz, not at the beginning of the Empire. It is an appeal everyman that few actors were really able to break away. To be honest, it can be simply Ford and Sigourney Weaver as Ellen Ripley, he does it completely well. The point is that seeing your heroes a bit makes you love them even more, especially when they appear on the occasion to be, you know heroesDespite everything they went through.

Gunn knows this and has experience in translating his heroes through the bell. Return to the first time we met the guards of the Galaxy. The first trailer of this film shows that nobody knows the name of Star-Lord and that he is developing a bit. And yes, Star-Lord was a little-known figure from the depths of Marvel, and Superman is … Well, it’s almost apple to orange, but Gunna’s approach is exactly the same here. Let’s put the dents in our main character as soon as possible. Let’s meet the hero when they are NO Heroic, not saving the day when they don’t even have an advantage – this is part of what makes the work of a Gunna superhero resonate, and anyone has ever been able.

Giving us a superman, who immediately broke the ribs, the lifting bladder, and feels terrible pain, even when/because his robots heal him … It’s a very choice, and this is a long way to invest in his version of the character, which, let’s not forget, has 10 films and 15 television programs or something at that point and is older than your grandparents. Superman and all his buddies existed forever, so why should we take care of the next version of his history?

And nothing, it is important to remember that for years a significant criticism has been lobbyed in Superman, saying that his incorrectness and high -pitched pure boy scout are simply boring. In the end, it was created as the best of us, but developing interesting narratives around the incapacitated aliens with the only weakness may begin to become difficult after a century. So how Down Do you make this known story addictive? Opening at the shot of damaged KAL-EL is a great start, but we still have to fall in love with the support cast.

And this brings us back to the giggling robot. When the crypto falls into the fortress (which is a nice rethinking of the classic fortress of Richard Donner Crystal, only in this case, which grows from the snowy landscape on the command), the robots take care of Superman when they carry the wounded hero to treat his wounds. We know in comics that “Bot known as Kelex is usually the main caretaker of the fortressAlthough here we can see that the main robot has a simple “4” mark on Superman-Shield on the chest.

When they tend to Superman, 4 (expressed by Alan Tudyk) presents the latest robot of the group: “Meet 12. She is new.” Superman nods poorly, and 12 virtually browning, even though it is made of metal, giggles and says: “Oh, he looked at me!”
