Chapter 1013: Superman Who Never Goes All Out
As everyone knows.
"Superman" is one of the superhero characters that belongs to the DC world view, and like the famous Batman, he is the pillar of the Justice League.
And the DC Universe......
It can only be said that if you are not a die-hard fan, you can't figure out how many setting systems there are.
Taking Superman as an example, what kind of hard punch can blow up the multiverse, lifting the weight of the earth for 5 days, and only a drop of sweat was shed, to be honest, Gu Miao felt embarrassed when he saw it.
What the hell is this superhero?
You say that this is the father of the gods, he believes in it, no way, according to the description of this setting, it is indeed a bit exaggerated.
Superman's setting can be roughly divided into two categories: physique setting and background setting.
The constitution setting is the body-related setting of super strength, super speed, and super hearing.
The background setting refers to Kryptonian blood, leaving behind on Earth, wearing a blue bodysuit and a red cloak, etc.
There's not much to say about the setting.
After so many years of development, the background setting of the Superman series has long been solidified, and a set of logical and self-consistent reasonable statements have been formed.
The main thing is the constitution setting......
Superpowers, the absolute core setting that affects superhuman combat effectiveness, have become extremely chaotic under the messing around of generations of screenwriters.
There are versions that are stronger than the sky, and there are versions that are pitifully weak......
The "Superman" series of films, animations, and comics produced by Weller almost did not consider the sustainability of the setting, and it took two or three years for a set of settings to be changed.
As a result, the Superman in everyone's impression fluctuates greatly.
After Wanbao took over the IP of "Superman", the first thing that came to mind was to restart the setting system, abolish the previous settings, and re-anchor a set of settings that can be used for many years based on the animated version.
"The new setting system will continue to be used for 20 years, 30 years or even longer!"
"And this set of setting system is not only used in animation, but also in the future movies, TV series, and comic versions."
This is Gu Miao's request.
The first one is good to say, after all, it is normal for a set of settings to be solidified and used for many years, and everyone will not feel that there is any problem.
But the second requirement is very tricky, a set of setting system, which needs to cover many types of works such as animation, movies, and TV series?
And even take into account the addition of other superheroes in the future, as well as the formation of the Justice League?
"It's hard to do, Mr. Gu!"
A screenwriter spread his hands and said: "Superman is too strong, this kind of strength is even beyond the reach of other superheroes." ”
Be reasonable.
In addition to heroes like the Flash, whose superpowers can barely keep up with Superman's pace, isn't a hero like Batman a burden in front of Superman?
Superman is about equal to God!
This is a fact that everyone agrees, and Superman's abilities are so comprehensive that he seems to be an alternative god.
If he only had one of super strength and super speed, then everyone could still treat him like an ordinary superhero, but he had all the super powers, what else could he be if he wasn't a god?
"I understand that Superman is really out of place with other superheroes."
Gu Miao nodded first, and then added: "But we are restarting the setting, not sewing and mending on the basis of the original setting, so what does it matter?" ”
What is a reboot?
The reboot means that the current Superman is completely different from the previous Superman, and the two are not the same thing at all.
What Wanbao wants to do is the new Superman.
Since it's a new Superman, the setting is completely new, different from the past, and doesn't follow tradition.
"Everyone can use their imagination to their heart's content, whether it is reasonable or unreasonable settings, they can put it forward and discuss it together!"
As soon as Gu Miao's words came out, Wanbao's elite screenwriting team suddenly fell into contemplation.
It took a few minutes before someone spoke tentatively.
"Everything is mutually reinforcing, Superman is so strong, so perfect, can we set a weakness for him? Make him less perfect? ”
"Great idea!"
Gu Miao clapped her hands and said, "This idea is good, Superman is not a god, but an alien, and it is reasonable to have weaknesses." ”
"Superman's strength is strong, more because the foundation is strong, so can we weaken its lower base and increase the upper limit instead?"
"Oh? How do you explain this? ”
"Idealistic side combat power! It's like a special effects transformation hero.,Or a magical girl.,The foundation may not be very perverted.,But once you reach a desperate situation, it will explode and become very fierce.。 ”
This one is kind of interesting.
But unfortunately, Superman has always given people the impression that he is powerful and invincible.
Change to the source of combat power on the idealistic side, how bad is the foundation? You must know that the general idealistic hero protagonist is basically beaten first and then counterattacked, and he won't play until he has residual blood.
Superman does the same?
Don't!
The name Superman is destined to be impossible for him to be so weak, let alone be beaten by the villain first, and then destroy the enemy in a desperate situation.
"Superman can be weakened, but not too hard, at least the basic strength and setting ability that Superman should have." Gu Miao explained.
Here's an example.
He doesn't deny that Superman's superpower should be cut, but to what extent? Every punch can hit a sonic boom, and that's it!
It would be too much to weaken to the point where Superman would struggle to lift a small car.
There is also superhuman flight ability.
This is also a major feature of Superman, and it must be retained.
If one day, Superman becomes a free-rooster and loses the ability to fly, then Gu Miao feels that this is not worthy of being called Superman.
Let's change the name to Wear Men Outside the Underwear!
"Actually, it can be like this...... Superman is strong, but every time he shoots, he doesn't go all out, because he is afraid that he will hurt the innocent by shooting with all his strength. ”
Huh?!
The screenwriter's speech made everyone, including Gu Miao, shine.
This is set up!
Superman never gives his all, because he knows that his power is terrifying, and if he goes all out, he can defeat the enemy, but it can also cause uncontrollable and catastrophic consequences.
Therefore, every time he fights, he is walking on thin ice, carefully controlling his strength and proportion.
This is also in line with the characteristics of "superheroes", full of sense of justice and compassion.
"Think about it from another angle, can we give Superman a reasonable explanation based on this?"
Gu Miao's mind opened up and said: "For example, when Superman first started to fight evil, because he couldn't contain his hand, although he destroyed the enemy, he also destroyed a large number of cities, causing the hostility and disgust of the people? ”
Ultraman Naios, right?
Superheroes are misunderstood, and even regarded as disasters, and are boycotted and expelled by the people, which is very touching when I hear it!
