That’s gotta be one of the highest death toll movies in history, the new ‘Star Wars’ movie, if you just do the math."
>"It's Superman," Zack Snyder said in the latest issue of SFX Magazine. "If you get that right, that's the question you'll be asking everyone else. That should be the question you are asking Iron Man and Thor. How is it you can feel you can be making a superhero movie in a world where Superman and Batman exist?"
Zack needs to stop throwing shade at the competition. It's got a Monkey's Paw effect.
What a pleb.
>In ‘Star Wars’ they destroy five planets with billions of people on them. That’s gotta be one of the highest death toll movies in history, the new ‘Star Wars’ movie, if you just do the math.
Yeah, and in those movies, it was THE FUCKING VILLAINS that destroyed those planets, not THE FUCKING HEROES.
God, Snyder is a fucking idiot. Who the fuck let someone who hates heroism (and Superman in particular) make this movie?
Between this and the Star Wars comment and the "hurr why is there a Thor movie being made" I'm starting to think this guy is a completely idiot
How can one man be so based?

Superman still has to bear some blame for Metropolis - not to mention the annihilation of Smallville.
>>81050848
Are you insane? How is it an equivalent? Did Finn and Rey pull the trigger? Did their lightsaber battle with Ren become so big it involved the deaths of those planets? They blew up because it is a BAD thing that the VILLAINS did to indicate that they were evil fuckers.

Part of it has to do with the scale of destruction - an entire city vs an entire planet - but it has more to do with the fact that some of the destruction in MoS wasn't inevitable (see: Smallville, Metropolis during the Superman/Zod fight) and didn't fit in thematically with the "ideal" image of Superman.

Fuck this guy.
>>81050894
He was simply referencing the destruction porn. All movies have it.
>>81050914
Not really. A good chunk of Smallville was destroyed by the fight between Superman and Zod's soldiers. God knows how many people died thanks to all the ricocheting bullets and property damage and explosions. A little hyperbolic, sure, but "annihilation" isn't exactly a stretch.
>>81050688
>My movie has to be better because the characters in it are more famous
How can this man get work?
>>81050688
He's right in that Supes deserves an epic film.
He's just not the person capable of doing so.
>>81050941
The military probably killed more people in smallville than the kryptonians
>>81050938
Yes, and in many cases, the destruction is important to the narrative or the theme of the film. The destruction in MoS's two major battles wasn't important to the narrative and they generally didn't lend any weight to the film's overarching themes.
>>81050938
Planet blowing up is more abstract than literal 9/11 destructoporn imagery.
No one has experienced cooky shit like earth getting exploded, but there are a quite a few still traumatized over 9/11.
>>81050824
He clearly wishes for his movies to be the critically acclaimed, deep masterpiece top dog.
>>81050934
John Carpenter's The Thing didn't try to sell itself as high art
>>81050967
And the military wouldn't have been in Smallville if Superman hadn't dragged Zod into town.
>>81050889
>> sees Zod on a secluded farm
>> spergs out and fly/tackles him to Smallville
By accident, he was looking down at Zod's face the entire flight.
>> destroys Smallville
The Military destroys more of the town then the Kryptonians did.
>>81050914
If Smallville is as small as it was portrayed to be, and sustained that level of damage, yeah, the town is done. It would become a ghost town because it wouldn't be worth it to repare the damages and people would just move.
>>81050894
So basically you're a retarded tripfag?
>>81050980
Honestly neither did BvS.
>>81050980
>John Carpenter's The Thing didn't try to sell itself as high art
But it IS art, its the greatest horror movie ever fucking made.
>>81050934
In all honesty nobody wanted to see Carpenter in a thong but what are you gonna do
>>81051000
That's beside the point.
>>81051008
Oh, yes, it did.
Snyder and Terrio couldn't stop jerking themselves off how "deep", "thematic", "mythological" and "socially relevant" it was.
>>81050975
So we're going to not have buildings blow up because it'll trigger people? Tell that to every movie

TOTALLY hates heroism and Superman just because he portrays him as a realistic flawed person who made mistakes in the process of doing great things during his very FIRST day of being a public hero... Totally.
>>81051104
>IT WUS HIS FURST DAY
So it begins...
>>81051104
>just because he portrays him as a realistic flawed person
Oh this fucking excuse again
>>81050941
Yes and Clark tried to take the fight out of town twice, he grabbed Faora and leaped hard and Non tackled him down and later he punched Non into the empty train yard which is not ideal but still better then continuing to fight in main street.
>>81051021
>this superhero movie isn't brainless
>how pretentious
This strain of anti-intellectualism is killing america.
>>81050972
Themes don't make a film incredible to witness and behold.
>>81051092
To be fair he can turn coal into diamonds. Money isn't really an issue.
>>81051047
No it fucking doesn't.
Comparing BvS (made by the retards that made MoS, that have gone to interviews defending a movie they themselves don't seem to understand) to The Thing (one of the greatest horror movies of all time) is an insult to both John Carpenter's masterpiece and most of the critics at the time which later retracted their stand on it because they recognized an error made during an era where everyone was burned out on horror and horrific things due to nuclear woe.
>>81051156
What your excuse for not paying attention to the movie?
>>81050988
>And the military wouldn't have been in Smallville if Superman hadn't dragged Zod into town.
Which again he did by accident, he was not looking were he was going while he was flying with Zod.
He had to get them away from Martha. Period.
There is no fucking way he could possible fight 3 Kryptonians with his mother standing right by them. If he grabbed her instead and tried to take her elsewhere too fast he would break her bones from the velocity, so he had to move THEM.
>>81051192
The point still stands that critics can't recognize a good movie if it bit them in the face.
>>81051181
Completely devaluing them in the process. Diamonds are costly because their price is being artifficialy kept high by low mining.
>>81051021
>"thematic", "mythological" and "socially relevant"
None of these things equal being high art it just makes it more powerful then dreck that tries to be nothing at fucking all.
>>81051104
Let's just ignore the decade he spent as a hobo, traveling town to town, destroying random people's trucks.
>>81051021

>>81051071
>Superman was like 30 something years old. The fact that he didn't explore his powers is beyond retarded.
No its fucking not, he was taught to repress them for the safety of everyone around him and beyond.
And even if he had tested his powers, he was still in a blind rage during the flight.
>>81051240
And yet, The Thing has an 80% fresh rating on RT (and not higher because many retracted reviews haven't been replaced with newer ones) while BvS deserves every drop in rating it gets.
>>81051279
>saving people's lives

>>81051156

>>81051169
No, conflating Zack Snyder films with intellectualism is killing America.
>>81051192
Yeah it does. There has been a lot of cases where critics were completely wrong.
>>81051349
Yes. It sucks. I even liked Green Lantern more.
>>81051363
>implying Zack Synder isn't a true auteur
>>81051311
>he was taught to repress them for the safety of everyone around him and beyond.
And that's why it's not a Superman movie.
>>81051413
Because Clark cares more about people than seeing what neat tricks he can do?
>>81051382
But they are right on BvS and most of them are right on The Thing. Point is, there are more cases where critics were right, just go to any random movie on RT, in all but few cases audience and critic opinion aligns.
>>81051279
>Let's just ignore the decade he spent as a hobo, traveling town to town
People alienated from the rest of the world tend to do stuff like that. That doesn't diminish his heroism once he finds his legacy and chooses to take the path of the savior.
Along with the fact that he saved a good number of people in secret during his travels.
>destroying random people's trucks.

That's not saying much when the DC movie tie in toys are shelf warmers.
>>81051441
And it shows a lack of self understanding. The Thor movies were gambles. Making popular movies and shows out of less known heroes is impressive. It takes forethought and real effort. Movies like the original Avengers Iron Man or even the old Blade movies. Or ehck even DCs own tv shows like arrow. But just throwing Superman and Batman in a bucket? That's the easiest major directorial job in the world.You could fuck up royally, which apparently he did and they'll still make a profit.

B v S stuff will be in clearance by mid summer and gone from stores entirely by Fall.
>>81051637
He did not do so ONE SINGLE TIME.
Closest he came was dragging Zod's face thru one set of windows/wall as a spontaneous reaction to Zod punching him into the building opposite.

Just watched Man (of) Slaughter yesterday.
I'm not really quite sure why Supes was a little beta bitch who was afraid to reveal his powers.
I mean there was a time where he was Superboy, you know, a boy who saves the day with his powers.
Also why couldn't he fight Zod somewhere else besides the middle of the city? Just fly somewhere else where nobody will get hurt dummy.
Secondly I think Lois Lane knows Clark's secret identity, which ruins it for me.
Zack doesn't like Superman.
All he really wants to do is make Batman films.
So he made a Batman film with Superman.
And now he made Batman v. Batman.
There's a fundamental disconnect here.
All he wants Superman to be is another brooding asshole.
Don't get me wrong. It's okay to make a dark Superman story, there's a large plethora of things you can do with him... as long as he's Superman.
His Superman barely stands for anything. Fuck, does he even smile once in BvS? Was the only instruction given to Cavill: "Act like a goddamn robot!"
Seriously, if they don't take Snyder off of JLA, we'll get Batman and the Batman league.
>>81051470
>that does make it a invalid alternative version of the character
>>81051738
>I'm not really quite sure why Supes was a little beta bitch who was afraid to reveal his powers.
Pa Kent implied vast and society damaging backlash if aliens existing is revealed.
Along with the fact that a good amount of humanity would shun and not accept him or his help.
>Also why couldn't he fight Zod somewhere else besides the middle of the city? Just fly somewhere else where nobody will get hurt dummy.
See videos here.
In the first one, Zod states he intends to kill them all one by one just to spite Clark so if Clark up and leaves Zod ain't gonna fallow like a DBZ villain, he is gonna start slaughtering civilians directly.
In the 3rd when he lets loose with the full power punches high above the city he takes Zod to the edge of down town before the general swerved back in.
>>81051738
I think the personality works, but could have used better atmosphere
Incluing better camera angles
For the fight scene, Zod will figure it out much earlier just fly back and actively commit genocide
>>81051850
Also all those horror stories of "doing good only results in other bad things" likely didn't help.
>>81050688
He's talking shit without realizing he never actually made a single decent movie, which is hilarious yet sad at the same time
>>81051798
Nothing not a single thing besides the healing factor is intact about Wade's final form in Origins.
Superman is perfectly fucking intact in mos, him not grinning constantly and understanding that the world is not a nice place instead of being a naive idiot doesn't make him un Superman-ish, it makes him one that is worldly and fucking intelligent.
>>81051156
>Legit good point
>Oh this fucking excuse again
what?
>>81050688
He's right in praising the characters; they really are that iconic and transcendent. As someone who loved (and still loves) MoS, it's too bad BvS basically puts on display that he's completely incapable of making a movie.
It's so indefensible. I used to say that Zack was a great visual director, but it's obvious now that while he does still make good looking visuals, the pacing and editing problems in his movies are brought in with his own hands.
I just really hope this cast still stays even if Snyder leaves. Affleck and Cavill did great in this movie.
>>81051886
That was the entire point, to tell Clark the true nature of the world instead of selling him bright fantasy tales of hope that mostly doesn't exist.
He has good intentions, just not the talent to fulfill his ambitions, and he gets those characters far less than he thinks he does.
>>81051782
I hate supesfags like this. The guy who thinks Suoerman should be some two dimensional secular christ, the suoerman who might as well not even be human because he's so pure and good. You're not helping the character by keeping him in a box.
>>81051972
And so we end up with a neurotic unsure Superman who stands for nothing. Great job.
>>81051915
So basically you're saying you don't like Supeman but you liked MoS. Snyder needs a lot more people like you.
>>81051956
Affleck WANTS to be Batman.
And he'll probably fight the studio and Snyder not only to stay on board but also to make a better product.
There's this rumor going around that he basically took over production in BvS when it came to the Batman-centric scenes. And those are the only ones most critics actually have positive words for.
People kept bitching about Batffleck. But they got it the wrong way around. As Martin Thomas said in his review: "He's the one who's too good for this."
>>81052038
I love Superman and I love MoS. Not caught up with the conversation, but just here to let you know people like me definitely exist.
>>81051025
you can have them blow up just not go overboard with the straight up 9/11 massive dust cloud imagery.
I bet I will have lots of fun seeing Superman, Batman and WW together. enjoy it: it will be the last time you see them together for the first time on the big screen.
The audience score is high
>>81052013
He stands for humanity.
>>81052070
I hope so. It's gonna be crushing if Cavill's Supes gets abandoned before he really matures into a full fledged Superman, or Borglife doesn't get his chance.
WB needs to push out Snyder now.Miller and Del Toro would be my number one picks for replacements
>>81052038
I like both.
>>81052070
For most of the Batman stuff it still sounds cringing since he doesn't have someone to bring him back from the abyss.
>>81052084
>>81052157
Kudos. I really really wanted to like MoS, and I will say MoS made appreciate the traditional "naive" Supes more.
Cavill was a poor choice. He may look the part, but he's so boring. His ability to emote is extremely low. He was shit in the Man from UNCLE too, so I know it's not just the part.
>>81051993
As opposed to making him a one dimensional, cold fish?
Have you seen BvS?
He doesn't have emotions in that movie.
None.
He's not human and flawed, he's not saintly, he's just bland.
There are a few things Superman is supposed to stand for, whether it's a realistic or an idealistic story. Otherwise it makes no sense having him be Superman to begin with.
If he isn't the ideal of man, a symbol of hope, he should be working towards that and if not that he should be questioning himself about why he isn't.
Every Superman story ever told has an angle like that.
And you shut the fuck up about the Christ shit, because Snyder overuses that symbolism to a retarded degree. But it's basically meaningless. Just "cool" imagery, because there's no subtext to back it up.
>>81052013
He stands that people are worth protecting despite his mistrust of them.
>>81052038
>So basically you're saying you don't like Supeman but you liked MoS. Snyder needs a lot more people like you.
I don't like Superman when he is portrayed as a small child in terms of worldliness.

I love Kingdom Come.
I love Lex Luthor - Man of Steel.
I love The New Fronter (animated)
I strongly like The Dark Knight Returns and even the Superman in it.
I like Superman Unchained.
I am mixed on but mostly like For Tomorrow.
I like the tone and world building of Earth One but dislike strongly Clark's characterization in it,
I semi like Superman - The Movie.
I semi like Superman 2.
I semi like Superman Returns.

Spiderman's international merchandise sales are like 5 times higher than Superman's.

Is Snyder the real-life Batmite who decided to do his best to cancel the DCCU, or is he the Gentry, hellbent on transforming the ideas of Superman, other characters and what they stand for into abomination6?
>>81051169
>Snyder defenders
Snyder always tries, but ultimately fails, at conveying any short of message in an interesting or even functional way.
In all of his movies.
Look, I'm a DC fan. I want DC to start doing movies. They have this ridiculous backlog of Super Hero stories that are more than just punches from the punch dimension.
But they need a director that isn't a utter moron. Warner has them by the bunches on their payroll. Instead of making yourself look like a utter fool defending the vision of a guy who made "Sucker Punch", you could join the camp that actually wishes these movie to be good by putting a non-shit director at the helm.
>>81053301
No.
Have you learned nothing from Ultra Comics?
The Gentry are the people discussing MoS and any Snyder movie years later.
It's pointless, doesn't change anything and erodes your free time with some dumb shit that was already decided.
Gentry real evil is the small, invisible cancer that slowly but surely will kill you in the long run.

In that shot. But when he was barreling towards him he sure could. And again, fucking SUPERMAN, he can hear what direction Smallville is in.

You see his face never move, he was watching Zod the entire time, he never took note that the truck would be explosive, he looks back up at the explosion in horror at his mistake and leaves himself to be instantly attacked when it does explode.
>>81054066

Fug those actually have a lot of pull
>>81054154
I think the only one drowning anything out right now is you. There is just no way that he couldn't have realized he was tackling Zod into downtown Smallville.

>>81053375
I agree. I don't understand why those anons defend Snyder. He's a bad director and fucking period.
>>81054093
GOD! STOP IT! JESUS CHRIST! STOP DEFENDING THIS MOVIE! It was a TANK TRUCK! They are SHAPED in that particular way! I knew it was going to explode - are you saying superman is a fucking moron who can't recognize a tank truck just by looking at it!?
>>81053835
Why this guy why?!! what must happen to kick him out Warner?
>>81054543
He did not look at it, it could have been carrying any kind of liquid, could have been fucking Milk for all you know.
There is NOTHING fucking wrong with Superman making fucking mistakes.
>>81054554
After BvS, we have a chance. Probably too late to replace him for JL part 1 as they would have to find a director willing to commit just like that, but you never know.
They might push hard for Ben, with Snyder still on set to
consult for action scenes.
>>81054373
It's even worse when you consider that the Audience Score for BVS is likely inflated due to the fact that the movie hasn't been seen by a wide audience yet, Same concept with the current IMDB score.
>>81054595
yeah but do the mistakes have to be that fucking stupid?
>>81050688
He buys into the grant morrison idea of superheroes being important cultural icons, the jungian archetype of warriors and legends... wich may be true, but these are archetypes designed to appeal to children, taking it in a serious direction is absurdly juvenile. Snyder needs to stop drinking the DC cool aid.
>>81054595
Yeah, when I see a truck on the street I always think: "it's prob a milk truck, no biggie."

>>81054543
https://youtu.be/HnAw3E_mLh8?t=1m14s
Hell, forget the shape of the truck itself. Snyder went out of his way to make sure the flammable liquid warning on the truck was SUPER visible to everyone, including Superman as two of those conspicuous ass logos are right in front of Superman as the truck starts sliding towards him, and he still just casually floats by that shit like it's nothing.
There's not even that supposed looking back in shock and horror at the mistake he made, they don't show his facial expression at all. Honestly comes off more as him looking back to make sure the building isn't about to fall on him.
>>81054827

>>81054897
I think manslaughter is where you were doing some stupid/reckless shit that caused the death of another person that should have been forseeable to you but you were being stupid. Murder is when you actually went and did something with the intent of killing a person.
I'm not a lawyer though so that shit may be off.

I just hope this didn't kill the standalone batfleck movie, that was the only redeeming factor to this shitshow.
>>81054854
God, I haven't seen Man of Steel since it came out in theaters and I truly forgot how excessive the destruction porn was at the end of that movie. Is it possible to feel bored and uncomfortable at the same time?

I don't even know how dumb these dudes have to be to come up with this milk excuse.
Superman doesn't have to know what the hell was in the truck, all he needed to know was that it was flammable. Which Snyder clearly wanted Superman to know considering he watches two, conspicuously placed flammable liquid logos slide towards him.
>>81055066

Yes. And force-straighten his hair.

So not only does he take the fight into Smallville, but he also leaves his mother alone with two Kryptonians who were just intimidating and threatening her. A+ Son.

>you lames will start fawning over BvS just to be contrarian.
Just don't hold your breath. MoS was flammed when it got out 2 years ago and look: most of us still find it a shit movie.
>>81055478
I love MoS, and I'm definitely not the only one.
That being said, I also despise BvS. Conversations on this board are going to be so strange.
>>81055544
Have you seen it yet? Not tryin to be an ass, just curious.
>>81055544
I loved MoS.
It's starting to look like I'll hate BvS.
Which sucks, because I haven't seen the movie.
>>81050992

I think we can hold the ultra-aware god-man accountable for things like tackling somebody into buildings. I'm not saying it's irredeemable, but it feels really weird in a Superman film.

I feel this movie will be more like watchmen than mos. people are hating on it because of rt? since when did we care what boring critics thought? I havnt seen it yet, but im excited to see a new take on superheroes. The movie could totally suck, idk yet, but if it's true that people are just pissed about the tone and the "no fun" thing then I think that's lame as hell.
>>81055654
5 of my friends already watched the movie and they told me it's fucking garbage. One is a huge Batman fan who's in complete shock at how Batman was portraited in this movie.
>>81055730
Havnt seen it yet, I will in a few hours. But i hear batfleck is the highlight. Idk it's weird this movie seems to have really got under people's skin. I'm a HUGE batman fan, and even I can get passed him blowing up cars and shit since we have to in comics and other film adaptations. They say why they didn't like it outside of batman portrayal?
>That moment when you derail the franchise just right.
>>81055795
I haven't liked Batman killing in any of his films, to be perfectly honest with you.
>>81055819
Who's that?

>audience scores are finally going down anyway
why are snydershills so insecure?
>>81055654
Watchmen was a shallow interpretation of a tightly-written graphic novel. There were some good performances, but ultimately they movie stumbled a bit when straying from the original events / dialogue.
Harping over the "no fun" comments is worthless - it's certainly not impossible to make a serious superhero film that the critics love (e.g. Winter Soldier, Nolan Batman trilogy). But Snyder has a nasty habit of presenting a story as meaningful and deep, when it's really a shallow pretentious puddle of half-baked concepts.
Remember how Sucker Punch was supposed to be a female empowerment movie? The same problems are present within Man of Steel. He spends so much time propping Superman up as an idealistic messiah figure that he completely forgets to give him an actual character. There's a conscious effort to steer him away from the optimistic, big blue Boy Scout persona (which is "too boring"), but instead they've looped around to making him sterile, emotionless, and completely fucking unrelateable.
For what it's worth, a lot of this shit can be blamed on Goyer as well.
Everyone knows the movie will make bank, because of who's in it. That's part of why the backlash is so hard. People expected better than what they got.
But COULD YOU IMAGINE how much more insufferable this board would get if it's dud?
>>81053835
>all those shit movies
>/co/ has been defending this man for at least three months now
>>81055959
Oh my God, that is hard to watch.
You know I was reading 2 issues of Action comics. 845 and 846. One having a fight with Bizarro and another a fight with Zod and other kryptonians.
Cool issues by Geoff Johns and Richard Donner.
So as i'm reading this i notice theres alot of shit getting wrecked. buildings being ripped open and knocked to pieces, buses flying, the daily planet globe being knocked off the roof. And i was wondering why the destruction in it didn't feel like the destruction in man of steels ending. It then occurred to me to reread the fight and see what was different. My assumption was it'd be that less was destroyed in the issue, but that wasn't really it. I think the big issue isn't that a ton of shit gets destroyed in the snyder supe films. it's that he just doesn't give a shit about any of it.
The focus of the camera is always telling you 'LOOK HOW COOL THIS FIGHT IS ISN'T IT BAD ASS'. Whereas the comic continually swapped between the action between superman and bizarro or zod, but also the damage and more importantly how it put people in peril. Lois lane reeling as a bus nearly falls on her. Citizens halting to avoid falling as a staircase below them just collapses due to a buildings wall being knocked in. People hurling themselves out of the way as a taxi cab collides out of the air with a sidewalk (hillariously knocking a fire hydrant into the air and dragging a poor little doggy tether to it by leash up with the thing).
And sure you have a few more moments in these two issues of Superman trying to save people rather than just punch the bad guy. but even beside that the damage is framed in a personal way whereas i think the issue in the movie is that its just shit in the background. Like oh look some building over there got destroyed oh well, look how fucking cool this fight is though.
>>81056020
If I had to guess, I would say that this movie will make bank the opening weekend, but likely the domestic gross will drop off quickly if the word of mouth is poor. I haven't seen it so I can't say, but it seems like the rewatchability is fairly low. I do think it will do aces in foreign markets, since effects-driven movies tend to be pretty popular.
However, if this film is a box-office dud, /co/ will explode. And t will be exponentially worse if WB decides to cancel/modify the upcoming DCEU movies as a result.

I agree.
>>81051104
If Superman was a realistic person in that movie he would have killed Zod as fast as possible.
>>81055846
Same. But I got over it. I remember seeing batman begins in theaters and actually being pissed he left ras to die. As time passed I have grown to love batman begins, and realize every movie isn't going to follow the comic book script like I imagine. I'm more concerned about batmans willingness to kill superman than him blowing up shit.
>>81056159
>if WB decides to cancel the upcoming DCEU movies
I will literally kill myself.
Someone get me a shotgun.
>>81056017
Idk I though watchmen was pretty good. Strays a little from the point of the gn, it not entirely. Prolly the best interpretation we could have got imo.
I enjoyed mos. I know once I saw that everyone will label me as "one of those guys," but I really did like it, even as a big fan of supes. I welcome new take son characters, yes the editing and writing was off at most points, but some parts of the film were very strong.
Snyder has a habit of shoving his dumb ideas down our throats, but hey, so does Morrison and frank Miller and everyone else. I'm ok with his style, he's no David Fincher or Inarritu, but I'm fine with that.
>>81052663

Zack "If You Think I'm A Hack You Must Be on Crack" Snyder
>>81055585
>>81055602
Yep. It's really disappointing. I feel like everything MoS did really well, Snyder didn't carry over to BvS. Even in terms of the fights, which were the one thing I expected BvS to get right for sure. Without any spoilers, it's really disappointing to see Snyder go from hyper concerned about showing the damages upon god like beings fighting to hilariously MCU-ing his way out of it all. Visually, they were also not even near MoS' frantic-yet-powerful feeling fights either. I watched Superman vs. Zod after I got home from BvS, and it's ridiculous how much better it was than what I watched in theaters.
That's not even going into the fact that Zod was an actually proper villain for Superman, and MoS had some amazing Kryptonian lore, that Platonic allegory, and the absurdist nature of that story. MoS had a clear battle: a god with a singular purpose vs. a god who'd been exposed to the crushing responsibility of choice and morality. Doomsday in BvS is a straight up slap in the face to that kind of theming. Just a generic Brute with about as much logical opposition as Nam-Ek from MoS.
It's crushingly disappointing. And a depressing statement: the problems I had with MoS were probably not due to Goyer. It really was Snyder's hand that tainted it all along.
>>81055618
I think there was 1000+ vote poll on /co/ where just over half of the votes were in favor of MoS. I'm not saying that's an overwhelming majority or something, but that a large subset of this board does enjoy it. And I think after BvS comes out there are going to be some people who reevaluate MoS as well.

>>Snyder was mystified when someone told him that they couldn’t think of a movie in recent memory that’s had as much collateral damage as MAN OF STEEL "I went, really? And I said, well, what about STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS?" the director says. "In ‘Star Wars’ they destroy five planets with billions of people on them. That’s gotta be one of the highest death toll movies in history, the new ‘Star Wars’ movie, if you just do the math."
