Shitty Movie Detail: Zack Snyder’s Justice League

Lois Lane's Force Majeure pregnancy test.

As Lois (Amy Adams) reaches into her bedside table drawer for her press credentials, underneath is a Force Majeure pregnancy test. Zack makes a point to show it twice. Not knowing what force majeure meant I looked it up:

force majeure (French)
1. superior or irresistible force
2. an event or effect that cannot be reasonably anticipated or controlled; act of God

The test refers to the fact that intercourse with Superman is an irresistible force and it took an act of God for her to survive it, much less get pregnant.

Shitty Movie Detail: Justice League

At the end of Justice League, we see Clark Kent walking down the street, a subtle nod to the fact that he came back to life too. His “rebirth” scene was cut from the film because watching them put full grown Clark back into his mother was a tad less believable than the mother box jump-starting Superman in the space placenta/embryonic fluid.

(and WAY more gruesome!)
