I can't believe Bob Iger approved the spec script for Solo solely because he believed the name thing was the coolest and most insightful thing he'd ever seen

Now I'm wondering what weirdly impressionable executive somewhere totally had their mind blown by the Martha thing

The thing about Martha is that it's a solid beat in principle - Batman dehumanizes Superman, but then sees his humanity by connecting him to his own loss. But you have to earn it, and BvS didn't. Superman randomly calling his mother by her first name makes no sense.

It's just hilarious to me that for Bob Iger this was a massive epiphany revealing something he'd never thought of before As opposed to an example of crappy hackneyed writing taking already extremely obvious subtext a child could see and turning it into text

Like the Simpsons joke of ending every episode of The Walking Dead with "No... WE are the walking dead"
