“You’ll give the people of Earth an ideal to strive towards. They will race behind you, they will stumble, they will fall, but in time they will join you in the sun, in time you will help them accomplish wonders.”
I've been thinking about this line a lot. I know it's from the comics and all, but what if it's also a clever way to foreshadow the DCU?
Imagine at the ending Clark reading his article about Superman having that line in it and while he is reading/narrating it, there will be scenes of Barry Allen, Arthur Curry etc. reading it. Superman could give other heroes in the universe hope to come out and actually protect the world eventually leading to Justice League.
As a new comic book fan, I didn't know about the Mandarin. So, I had to look for comics where he appeared so that I have a little idea who he is. He was a terrible character, I didn't like him but thought the film might have a different take on him that might change my views on him. The movie has a lot of moments that will have you smile, laugh and grin. The Mandarin reveal I guess was disrespectful to avid comic fans, to the creator of the character. His appearance in the film was solely for comedic purposes only which I think was not necessary considering many characters and moments are already fun.
