ADVENTURES IN HYPERBOLIC JOURNALISM, COMICON EDITION

COMIC-CON 2012: “MAN OF STEEL” FOOTAGE SO GOOD IT MAKES FANS CRY

So is this what journalism has come to now? One man (an ADULT man, I should add, not a small child) starts crying at the sight of a comic book sizzle reel and the conclusion drawn is: one person interviewed had an insanely positive reaction ergo “footage is so good it makes fans cry,” as opposed to, say, “emotionally unstable adult suffering from extreme case of arrested development suffers mental breakdown in front of reporter?”
