I think it was just a silly trick to show Superman has special powers when he's within the Fortress of Solitude, like when he teleports and duplicates himself. These are things he can only do in his Fortress.
At least his 'S' emblem weapon is biodegradable. Won't be sitting for millions of years in a Landfill site, fouling up the Artic. Save the planet Supes!
Cracked sent me from "5 Awesome Movies Ruined By Last Minute Changes"
Apparently, the original director got the boot and the new guy they brought in decided a Superman version of a Joel Schumacher Batman film would be awesome...And added this scene too.
When I saw this I was about 10 years old and just like now I dont understand what the hell is up with him throwing that stupid S! haha! its so random!!
what the hell was that "S" supposed to do i mean it looked like he was just in a bag, the ones they give out in stores, and plus wasn't that "S" supposed to squezze him to death it looked like that mostly distracted him
he only uses it for humans which would trap them and suffocate a normal person. a kryptonian survived because of his super strength but still was a little fucked up. so imagine him throwing that at you.
Someone in a position of power had to have said, "I've got a great idea. Instead of using his freeze breath, heat vision or super strength, we'll have him throw his S symbol at the bad guy. And, like, it'll wrap around him for a few seconds. Like, trap him. Then, it'll vanish! Right? Ya' know what I'm talkin' about? And, and, wait, the S could grow after he throws it! So it's, you know, like really big! What do you say?"
Even worse. Someone else in authority said, "That's good. Let's do that."
what was that though i didnt even know he could do that the only reason i watched this was because they showed this in a cartoon version on family guy
Does anyone have any idea what that was supposed to be? Surely there is a superman fan here that can inform us. The rest of us (all of us?) are just here cause of family guy
@drewsky684 no. this was the doing of richard lester..... the man who 'directed' superman 2 and then killed the franchise. do some reading on superman 2. it is really fascinating.
@drewsky684 I'm gonna take a stab at it and say it may have been part of weapon that he had in the Fortress, kinda like he was able to appear in 3 different places later on. Holographic projectors in the Fortress? Only thing that makes any kind of sense. Still, the finger beams from the villians make no sense to me at all still.
I love the Chris Reeve movies but they did have a really bad habit of featuring powers that Superman really doesn't have. Like telekinesis? WTF? Throwing the S is another one, and I'm pretty sure there;s something else I can't really remember right now.
how come that was so much more interesting when I first saw it as a kid, now I'm just like...wow ok, lol...Family Guy was right, that was just a minor inconvenience!
