Kelly Woods can’t stand Superman’s canine sidekick, Krypto. The 58-year-old retired truck driver grew up watching the Superman cartoons in the 1970s.
“When Krypto first came into the cartoons, it ruined it for me,” said Woods. He felt the creators were trying too hard to add unnecessary characters.
His 26-year-old daughter, Jackie, brought Woods along to see the new “Superman” movie a few weeks ago. She figured the unruly dog would make only a couple of appearances, maybe toward the end.
But within the first few minutes, Krypto was zooming through a snowy plain.
The use of CGI is awkwardly reminiscent of the backlash “Talkies” faced when their arrival ended the Silent era.
