    Yeah, I never even noticed “Kal el no” in the movie when I watched it. But it’s a meme, so we all have to pile on about something completely forgettable being the worst thing ever!

    That’s how this shit works. Just short clips about nothing burgers turned into memes and made to loom large in your mind as being something egregious.

      No, she really is a bad actress. But the biggest problem people have with her isn’t “Kal-el no”, it’s “Bibi yes!”

      I don’t even know what kal el no is, but i do know that it’s often unfair to call out any actor for s line delivery, because it’s often the case that they’ll do the same scene 6-7 times with very different deliveries, each prompted by the director, and then the director will choose which clip to use in editing.

        Yup. Redletter Media did a bit about Harrison Ford’s delivery of a line in Crystal Skull. On that one they actually used a take that was good for the trailer. In the movie itself (for whatever reason) they used a take which was very flat. In that case we could compare and it’s obviously either the director or whoever editing that fucked up. But there’s many more cases of that kind of thing we don’t know about.

        In any case, one line in a movie isn’t something to obsess over. But the internet is all about obsessing over inconsequential shit…
