17:50 Corenswet is right, the inflection of "That is being human!" has the 'something to prove' vibe because it mirrors his outbursts earlier. Vs being collected, not forcing it, which is a stark change
I get Gunn's perspective too, this is the emotional climax of the movie, so it fits to show the vulnerability. Issue is what we define as "vulnerable", men being emotional is not the same as *being vulnerable. Corenswets stance would align better with a development angle--
Supes being more lowkey without brusque assertion "But that is being human." in a less 'something to prove' delivery to a guy he: DOES NOT KNOW or have any history with- The history gap issue would still exist with D.C's idea, but it would sting less in that context.
and since that stupid mutt cut off the conversation(I hate Krypto), we got to see Gunn's direction of the scene which in affect was an incomplete exchange. Why the dog? Likely cause he didn't know how to wrap the scene up with maturity, same shit Horikoshi does.
after 3 years of activity, this movie was when these two finally met, according to Lex. So Gunn has all this pent up outburst written here, when these two actually have no dynamic or history to even base it on, as if they've had this conversation before.
"Is this not the moment where I feel, 'I was wrong to feel that way.'" On Davids part its not about right or wrong to be low, but Supes doesn't have to show Lex vulnerability just to stand his ground. getting rid of the dog helps too, but i get what they're both saying.
I appreciate this exchange (between Gunn & Corenswet), to be honest. It adds some context per on-set dynamics. It's necessary on set (sometimes) for actors to have that kind of backbone & chime in and be receptive. Glad he smelt the same stench of contrivance that I do.
For Davids idea,
Supes would've went through enough to warrant a collected, "I really know it" delivery. So it wouldn't be he just changes suddenly for no reason (which is also a contrivance btw)
At THIS point, he would know it without sounding like he's justifying himself.
At THIS point, he would know it without sounding like he's justifying himself.(side note: this explains the lois & clark scene where he blew up on her like a manchild, NOW I get it. I understand conviction, passion, doubling down on helping people abroad in ethnic disputes but getting that pissed off, emotional was just bad characterization. Could only imagine the possible reservation David had with that scene. I almost worried for Lois, like calm down, you're not 13, Mr.Kent.)
