Fair points, but also not proving your point. I mean this was a day or two before the opening. You couldn't turn on the television without seeing a commercial. Superman as a character is the most recognized person in the entire world. Now here is a guy who plays him, is wearing a t-shirt and is walking around downtown with giant billboards of him all over the place. THis is him wearing a superman t-shirt and no glasses on. Sure he would be recognized way easier if wearing superman suit, but he was also not dressed as clark kent. More of a mix of the two. There is always that psychological explanation for Clark Kent. The whole argument that your brain will convince you against something obvious because you don't or can't belive it. I mean if there were a Superman, and there was someone at your work that looked similar to him would you believe that its him? I mean here is this guy who can shoot solar flares out of his eyes, fly, lift millions of pounds, invulnerable, ect and yet there he is filling his water up at the fridge and writing a story about Kim Kardashian. Or insert whatever work environment you want. I'm sure you'll ask him, watch him, try and catch him ect. But in the end assume its just a likeness. There are sites that youcan easily see most celeb dopplegangers, or heck people alter their looks, hair, even plastic surgery to look like a celeb. If there were a superman, don't you think he would be the most sought after male in the entire world from females. If I looked even a 1/10th like him, I woudl alter my hair, ect to try and look as close to him as I could to also attract girls. |
You're assuming too much. A lot of people could of reconized him. Wouldn't of approach him. Because of the photo guy following him, etc. Not everyone is confortable to just walk up to an actor. The photo's/video's could of been cherry picked. And people just not caring. There's a reason why that MIB 2 joke, with the worm in the train station exsists. I'm a New Yorker. That's kind of true. If something dumb/weird is going on. The first response is: "Is the train gonna be fucking late now?"
The phychological aspect isn't really good excuse. Because it isn't visible, for the camera. What the movies could do, is show at least some people go up to him. Then and flat out ask him. And he just says no. But then it goes into the other areas. Of people following him around, till he gets caught. Which happens in the TV show versions a lot. That's how Batman got him, in Superman TAS. Because they got time to do that story. Also, the amount of cameras we have everywhere. No matter how fast, or good you are. He'd get caught. That's were the logic starts getting in the way. People just like to see some aspect of acknolegement, in the movies. The one thing Superman Returns did good, was that joke scene about them noticing. That moment is your perfect example of phychological explanation.
