B-but it's good movie, before it was 6/10, now it's 9/10.

>>84211132
They added more bread to a shit sandwich.

It's only slightly more tolerable, but I still wouldn't eat it.

Also, if the studio wants a 2:30 movie, and you give them a 3:30 movie so that they have to cut it, it's not the studio's fault that the theatrical release is shit.
>>
>>84211132
They made this movie for nothing more, or less, than money. They clearly read cliff-notes for everything they based it off of, but honestly, the real failing is the characters. Superman should never. EVER. be grim-dark. Superman needs to remind us of everything good and righteous in the world. This superman is the exact opposite of how he should be. For reference of how it should be, see bruce tim's work, superman vs. the elite, and dear god at the LEAST all-star superman. This was a cash-grabbing fuck-up. End of story.

No shit stupid, you think marvel is making movies because they care about the characters? They struck gold with Iron Man 1 and have been using that as their cliff notes to base their movies off of for years. No major studio is making capeshit because they care about the characters, they're taking advantage off a fad, nothing more, nothing less.

It was too intelligent for the general populace. I guess it shows that you can't make a movie faithful to the comics and expect everyone to like it. This is why comics are niche now. The audience just wants quips and memes, and general tumblr liberal pandering.

Snyder, and his hatred for comics. He likes shit like heavy metal, which is awesome mind you, and even then, he doesn't even read it, he just likes the pretty pictures. That's what the movie was. A collection of panels he thought looked cool in some pictures he saw, and he wanted to copy that without realizing that there was emotion behind a lot of the shit he took. He likes angry superman with red eyes, which is cool, but if thats all your superman is doing throughout the movie, without a single fucking smirk, that just isn't superman at all.
>>
>>84211132

Terrible director, terrible script, terrible flick.

Spoken like a true pleb that only watches standard generic Hollywood garbage and that has never opened a book.
The Prometheus stuff is giving you more information than the lies lex tell about his past. The "symbolism" is not there to make the movie seem smart, is there to give you context and to explore the characters without wasting time in worthless flashbacks.

Of course he does, the character is in no way a complex one, at all. I willing to bet you havent read much of the 80's or 70's superman stuff either.

You are upset that a film tried to explore a character in a different way and isn't a altruistic flyboy from the get go.
>>
>>84211790
Snyder only reads Miller's stuff.
So his entire concept of Superman is "lame idiot, that doesn't understand the world" and his only concept of Batman is "psychopath".

So yeah, somebody should have wrapped All Star Superman around a brick and thrown it through his window at some point.

His more "lighthearted" Justice League movie won't be any better. Because even if he adds quips and fartjokes, he still will not get to the essence of the characters.

I posted a comic that perfectly expresses the character. I further suggest All Star Superman

Everyone involved had different agendas. Snyder wanted some kind of mythological epic with superheroes but didn't have a clear vision of what exactly that would look like, the WB execs basically wanted an Iron Man 2 style continuity wrangling exercise in order to set up Justice League, Terrio wanted a slick action thriller, Goyer wanted to suck a few thousand more cocks and Affleck just wanted a good movie.

And nobody was in charge.

I'm sure he could. He's got a shitload of experience, he can clearly direct action and drama and he's got a ton of love for superheroes. It's pretty clear why WB wants him to do it.
>>
I think Snyder failed to justify the more thematic or symbolic elements within the story itself.

Like since a major element of the plot involves Lex, Batman, and pretty much all of humanity projecting their own fears and feelings about God onto Superman (much to Superman's frustration), it makes sense to have Superman be kind of a distant figure who doesn't talk a lot.

However, in-character based on where he was at the end of Man of Steel, how he is with Lois, and what he wants in general, it doesn't really make sense for Superman to not at least -fake- being cheerful and approachable, instead of being so taciturn which he should be smart enough to know only makes things worse.

Just like Man of Steel the movie had too many details and dialogue bits that people didn't understood because they weren't paying enough attention.

Holy crap is that awful. This is post Superman 78 garbage.

Pre-crisis superman was hardly consistent in characterization but people who post garbage like that pic really don't get superman at all. The whole "symbol of hope" of cringeworthy nonsense and applies to any superhero. Snyder understands the character a lot better than you do,

Symbolism only cannot carry a movie.If all a director focuses on is symbolism but neglects the plot and the characters, the movie will be bad.

People did not hate BvS because they could not understand Snyder's symbolism,they hated the movie because that was all the movie had going for it.

>>84211132
They clearly wanted to deliberately wanted to do something new and different with the characters, and people weren't pleased. I'm personally more open to new things, and for example ended up liking Lex a lot and found Batman's new-found brutality interesting.

Maybe this movie would have been better if the characters had been in their own movies first. It was cearly too much, too different and too soon.

yeah no, all this time the studios have been trying to figure out what is the right tone for the movies, Marvel got it right with Iron Man and they have been eploiting this tone since and now they found the right tone again with the winter soldier, which is why the Russos are here is to stay. There is no love, only the right procedure. Why do you think was Iron Man the center of the MCUniverse and now its Cap? or a rather worse example JLaw/Mystique being the center of the x-men.

Iron Man has been out of the team since Age of Ultron anyway,

Under the protection of Wakanda and I'm pretty sure, Black Panther has enough power to clear the whole mess and rightfully blame Zemo.

Bruce Timm's work often was "grimdark." I feel like casuals have this fanfic character who they call "Superman" who sucks on a fundamental level. His (very limited) character, inherently, gives him the elements of a Mary Sue or a writer's pet, because the plot acting in his favor is fundamental to Fanon-Man.

It's a no-win situation, because being faithful to Superman, in their eyes, means writing a bad character, who under any other name would be a subject of mockery.

Batman, comparatively, is far more fortunate and more varied in how he can be adapted, so as a result, he'll always be more popular. The image casuals have of him allows him to struggle and to behave like a human being.

Never saw it in the theatre.

But the biggest flaw would be in the marketing. The trailers really did spoil a way too large portion of the plot.

The film also has zero real suspense and never tries to make up for this in other departments. You know that all the characters will live through the film. But the same could be said to Cap: CW, but at least that film created tension in the characters continued relationships to each other.

Too long.

Crappy CGI.

Uninspired cinematography.

6/10. Not bad by a long shot, but not very good either. It deserved to be better.

+Batfleck was the only actually good part of the film.

Speaking as someone that's been called a Superfag and thinks Snyder's an edgelord with a fundamental misunderstanding of the character I would've been fucking thrilled if what we got was more akin to the Timm/Dini version.

Because, and this is the part I think you may be cherry picking to avoid admitting, not all TAS episodes were red sky ones. A great many of them were light, and they used that lightness a the basis and went darker from there. Snyder (assuming he's trying to move at all, which I have a hard enough time believing) does the opposite. He's trying to start morose and move toward light; that's a MUCH harder transition to make, almost impossible.


It's not that people hate being faithful to Superman or even that they hate deconstructions of Supeman. You just have to provide a strong base before doing that. It's like Snyder is building a book case, starting on step five, and wondering why the thing keeps falling over when he puts weight on it.
>>
>>84213488
"Grimdark" is like "edgy." It means anything these days because of how often it's thrown around, with the very fact that we're calling BvS "grimdark" being an example.

You'll have to be more specific if your definition of grimdark extends beyond "people die in this work."

>But lol nope, he got robot legs now.

Why wouldn't he get a robot /something/? That's the least valid grip. The entire basis of Tony's character is augmenting himself through robot somethings.

If he sat by Rodney in a hospital bed or a wheel chair you'd be here saying, "Wait. Why didn't that guy just make him fucking robot legs?"

>>
The fact that there isn't more than one movie to it. There's far too many broad strokes that don't take any future property into account apart from the Justice League and Batman. Jimmy Olsen dead, Lex Luthor an unconscionable criminal with no hope for a future, absolutely no info dump when they set up multiple opportunities with the ship and the studying of the bat, and piss poor world building. The Batman stuff is the only thing that seemed to not be as mucked up by all these faults, and is very aware that there is a history of the character, and that there might be a future; but it still falls short because it's not being explained well, it's more interesting than what we have to sit through, and there isn't any real indication that this is a Batman that's far gone outside of a throwaway line, and certainly nothing in the realm of what he used to be like to juxtapose it and make it more reasonable.

They're blowing it like a typical superhero flick that's supposed to have a couple of sequels until it's shelved and rebooted. It was fun to watch the first time around, but seeing it a second time made me realize that no matter what, the Superman parts were terrible, and the setups for the Justice League were horribly heavy handed. I still loved the Batman parts. Seriously great stuff. All the too dark complaints, I wonder if they missed the Alfred bit talking about extremes, and the Jason Todd costume? I'm excited to see Batflecks own movie; at least if it's bad, Kevin Smith won't stop giving him shit. Total batfag here, so that's probably why, but if not for that, I wouldn't even bother with anything to do with it.

tl;dr- Greed. Poor decisions. A concentrated lack of Interest from Eisenberg. Recklessness. >2016 Superhero franchise. Time. Boring. Foggy.

A few weeks ago my friend and I were discussing how they should have split the DCEU up because it's very clear that this film should have occurred way later in its own continuity. I think we established it as
>Superman film: fights Zod, doesn't destroy all of Metropolis, is generally seen as a hero afterward but there are concerns about how much power one man can possess and whether we should be indebted or afraid
>Batman film: Establishes this incarnation of the character, has been operating for awhile, Dick has already assumed the title of Nightwing, we meet Jason only near the end of the film. Hasn't been broken (yet) so his brutality is in check.
>Batman and Superman: The World's Finest -- woo, team up movie time. Here's where we first get our Lex Luthor and learn why he wants to get rid of Superman. Leads to a lot of punching and funtimes had by all. Superman and Bats decide they work well together, and while Batman isn't so into the idea, Superman begins to draw up ideas for a group effort -- some kind of Justice League.
Now I imagine other movies would have been occurring around these ones, so let's just throw Justice League right here. At the end of that one, Batman continues to work alone and only occasionally throws his assistance in.
>Batman film 2: Shit goes down, Jason gets killed, Batman takes a turn for the psychologically unstable
>Superman film 2: Shit goes down, Metropolis gets smashed, people die, Superman does his best but can't save everyone, people begin to doubt how safe we are in the presence of a dude who could crush us all if he really felt like it
>Batman v Superman: Batman is fucking pissed, Superman is dangerous as fuck, Luthor was right all along, time to kill a Kryptonian.
Now I imagine that this would take place after Justice League, so other members would be involved here as well, but it's mostly concerned with whether or not Superman, and the League as a whole really, needs a serious check on itself.

So post them.
Seriously. Post them, give your analysis, account for the context, and prove your hypothesis as to why Snyder's pulling from them and making it work.

"Go read Byrne" isn't enough. Because the thing is, I read Byrne. Byrne's man of steel contextualizes things in a way that Snyder absolutely fails to do. You guys lean on that one panel of him killing Zod and expect us to ignore the near dozen issues before that building the character. Context matters
>>
The absolute vitrol of people defending this movie speaks volumes.
Snyder is incapable of putting together a competent film in less than 3 hours and change, and goyer doesn't write characters who are in any way similar to their characterizations in the comics, which makes the inter character contrasts and dynamics that people care about meaningless in the films.
It's not a good movie, but it has some good style.

Didn't catch it in theaters and watched the ultimate cut for the first time the other day. I thought it was okay, especially by superhero movie standards. The most glaring flaw for me was that no one talked like human beings, especially noticeable in the first act. Could've done less metaing and put in more humanizing scenes. Overall the hate seems a little overblown.

I'm guessing part of it is because the characters are popular enough that even the mainstream audience have their own idea of how they're supposed to be. Personally don't think there's anything wrong with re-interpretation but I can see people being upset about it. WB might run into the same problem with the Joker in Suicide Squad and possibly Wonder Woman. The MCU using mostly mainstream literal whos might strangely enough be an advantage for them.

What really ducking bugs me is that a lot of Lex's lines were written very well. It's Jesse's fucking delivery that ruins it all.

It's insulting that the role of Lex Luthor was reduced to a bone to throw at Eisenburg cause Zach didn't think the role of Jimmy Olsen was too small for him, which is also pretty lame cause of someone straight up did Jimmy Olsen, Eisenberg would've been a good choice.

If you are a DCuck, you don't even need a knife. You have all the edge in the world.

So let's say that Luthor's plan succeeds, and that Doomsday actually manages to kill batman and superman.

If that happens, what the fuck was Luthor's master plan to take Doomsday down in their place? What would stop him from destroying the whole world at that point?

How did Doomsday's creation not make sense?

How did Lex know the Kryptonian ship would be able to make a giant monster that would want to fight superman and not roll over and die or just try to suck itself off?

This was Lex's backup plan. But it doesn't even happen till late in the movie, while his main plan happens between MoS and BvS

He literally told the ship to teach him a whole bunch of shit about Krypton.
>>
>>84217299
again, this is after he sets up the events for Batman to fight Superman.

he doesn't plan for Batman to get Kryptonite

So Lex's plan for most of the movie is to make Batman fight Superman, hoping a regular human will somehow kill Superman. He has no reason to assume this.

He knows Superman will return pissed off, wanting his mother back.

This is his plan before he luckily discovers the ship can make monsters.

Did the ship know the genetic abomination would want to fight superman?

A lot of things went right, actually.

What went wrong was that they crammed 10 irl-years worth of story into a 2 hour movie because Marvel beat them to it.

>they crammed 10 irl-years worth of story into a 2 hour movie

People say that this is a bad thing, but personally I loved it. So much content in so little time, so much bang for my buck. It's just going to be disappointing and feel like theft when I see other movies now.

Still not entirely sure why people dislike Thor 2 so much, I think the most annoying parts were some of the awkward cuts back to Earth and sort of forced humor.

Are the DCCU comics actually canon or are they like the MCU comics where nobody gives a fuck about them?
