Is it just me or did this feel very derivative of the James Bond skit at the opening ceremony of the 2012 London games?

The Scientology Superman has to remain relevant somehow.

I don't know, but they played a Red Hot Chilli Peppers song from 2002, and Tom Cruise was first in Mission Impossible in 1996... So it would have felt very modern and up to date two decades ago.

I love Air and Phoenix but was thinking « oh no our stars are a bit old, are we going to look outdated? », and then the Americans sent Tom Cruise and RHCP and I felt much better.
