Whoa!  How sad!

But I think this goes in News  or Everything Else, stacer.  I thought you were spoiling the next movie.

It's sad to see him go.  He really fought the good fight.

I think movies is fine. He's a movie actor, after all, and the "news" forum is for SITE news. Soemthing Tage is a real stickler for.

And yeah, I guess superman wasn't so invincible, but we learn that about all our heroes. He was, from what I know about him, a good person, and that's not as common as we'd like it to be. God speed.

No.  Now he can fly.

Nice.

But are you sure? Might have to be resurrected into a celestial body first...

Yup.  I'm sure.

Please elaborate? Just for my personal curiosity...I'm not sure average spirits can necessarily fly, mostly because I'm not sure telestial or terrestrial bodies can fly, and it would seem odd to give spirits a taste of something they would not be able to do after the resurrection, as it's not necessarily known what kind of body they'll eventually end up with.

ah, that doubt though expresses a belief that non-Celestial spirits can't fly. Which is not something I believe we have knowledge of.

You know, Ookla really sounds like he is discussing Exalted...
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

Simple.  God is just.  There would be no justice in a universe where superman cannot fly.  Therefore, he can fly.

Any other dumb questions? ;)
