Even the best intentions can have the worst effect. You can't save everyone.

Did anyone else notice just how many horses were in the movie? The first horse in the smoke of the fallen wayne building. The horse story. The horse outside the court. The horses pulling supes corpse.
>>
>>81219539
So not only does Snyder have a thing for unexplained hallucinations he also like horses.
>>
>>81218208
Clark's messed up mind was using his father to let him know it's ok to wreck shit while you save the world.

It's Zack snyder telling the audience, "If ya wanna make an omelet, you've gotta break a fews eggs."

I've just realized that the horse scene from the trailer was cut. I wonder what that was

Visions and Flashbacks were shit. The Wayne murder was the best onscreen adaption of it. This one was ok but didn't really make much sense in the context.

It means shut up and eat your hero cake.

Saving people can have results you regret in life. Best to let them die.

4 Horses for the Apokolips

Add to this that actions can have unexpected consequences. The bigger the action is, the greater the effects.
>>
>>81219669
i was looking forward to that scene too

it seemed interesting but in hindsight, bruce will probably have a longer speech in wayne manor for the directors cut and the horse scene would play over it, ending with "they were hunters"
>>
>>81218208

Direct parallel to Superman saving Lois but causing Africa dudes to kill a whole village.

Pa Kent likes to teach Clark using animal metaphors.

The horse story, for example, teaches Clark that "being a hero" isn't enough, you have to take into account the consequences of your actions.

The part in Man of Steel where Pa Kent dies saving the dog teaches Clark to always save the dog even at the cost of your own life, which is why he always saves Lois, even though she's an inferior life form and basically just a pet to him.

one part of your post is correct

the other part isn't

i'm just not sure which is which

>>
>>81220574
You've never been mad I take it. You ever feel get a hot feeling in your gut when someone threatens to take everything you've ever loved away from you? Are you just going to sit there like a bitch and die? Thomas was old money, he wasn't going to take that shit.

You don't get to stay on top in Gotham without knowing how to just not give a fuck.

I don't think this Joe Chill intended to steal anything.

He didn't grab the pearls, breaking the necklace like normal. He shot Martha in the tits, which broke the necklace.

It was probably an assassination by the vicious mobster and racketeer, Il Pinguini.

>What was up with the horse story in BvS?

And you faggots say you hate when stories aren't more subtle

Pay attention
>>
>>81220763
I don't get the confusion; this story wasn't subtle in the least.
>>
>>81218754
Which was a perfect story given the fact that he kept unintentionally letting people die by not thinking about what would happen after he swooped in and saved the day then left right away
>>
>>81219499
Totally though Jonathan was building it in the dream sequence
Might be a teaser for when he does though

>>81219539
Now that you mention it there were a lot of horses
>>
>>81218208
Batman thinks he's better than everyone
>omg this caped alien is doing superhero work? i call bullshit

Fuck the horse story, what was up with the heavy handed god metaphors for supes? Can't we get ONE fucking Superman without comparing him to Jesus
>>
>>81220966
>literally the first movie goes "They can be a great people, Kal-El, they wish to be. They only lack the light to show the way. For this reason above all, their capacity for good, I have sent them you... my only son."

We're never gonna escape this cross anon
>>
>>81218208
Who the fuck has conversations with their dead father? Superman needs mental help. I mean holy shit he heard a story he probably never heard before from an illusion.

If he had heard the story before then he wouldn't need to have it brought back up in order to obtain resolution
>>
>>81219539
How ironic, that his career's very demise would be in the proximity of some horses.
>>
>>81218754
>You can save her, Kal. You can save all of them
>You can't save everyone.

Pa Kent for father of the year, bravo Snyder.
>>
>>81220466
There was even a horse shoe print in batman's vision after he left the bunker. Probably left by one of the 4 horsemen since horses have 4 legs and 1 print must be for each one landing

I admit they probably should have cut this scene entirely however the story was an anecdote about how doing something heroic doesn't always have good consequences ie ruining the Lang farm. Clark saves people but Luthor frames him several times so everyone hates him etc.
>>
>>81218208
Just Snyder ruining Pa Kent, again.

Pa and Ma Kent give the most bland advice.

You're giving advice to a confused alien. The only parents that push their ideals and lifestyle on kids are those horrible pageant kids parents
>>
>>81219539
I was curious too like I really wonder what that was supposed to represent
>>
>>81223333
Oh nevermind, everytime there was a horse it was usually during a fucked up situation. Like in PA Kent's story
>Horses drowned, Clark
So it's just extended symbolism for shit about to go or in the process of going down. Fun.
>>
>>81220966
Just ONE time I wanted Supes to respond "I'm not a God, just a man trying to do the right thing."

Would that have been so hard?
>>
>>81219611
Mfw faggots don't think it's retarded for supes to randomly be chilling on a snow mountain
>>
>>81220661
Comics tends to go back and forth if it's an assassination or a random down on his luck thug.
>>
>>81219539
Some cultures believe horses hold the souls of fallen warriors reborn. Every horse precedes a great disaster or death.

Bravo, Snyder!

Just a group of operators escorting Lois and Jimmy to the warlord's compound in North Africa.
>>
>>81218208
Pa just really loved to watch stuff drown, it was the only way he could get an erection and the reason they never had kids the usual way

sometimes he'd hold Martha down in the tub and fuck her while she choked

young Clark couldn't help but see and hear that kind of thing

Probably one of the things cut last minute by WB.
