So BvS obviously wasn't a masterpiece - but does anyone here genuinly believe it deserves as much critical backlash as it has while movies like The Avengers and almost all other Marvel properties get praised? Or to go even further, all of Disney's recent productions. I mean was it really that much worse than The Force Awakens for example? The criticism for that film here was that it was essentially a watered down rehash that brought nothing new to the table - meanwhile people bitch about Snyder's movies changing characters and their personalities/stories too much. What gives? Just looking for some realtalk because I just watched it and, flawed as it is like most of Snyder's movies, I don't understand the blatant hate at all.
Disliking it is a meme.

Because Snyder has given us a grim, depressed Superman for two movies now. The tone works for Batman, but not Superman.

Pretending to love it is a meme.

Only because people secretly want the same shit for the tenth time, even though we live in a cynical shitty world just like the one in Snyder's movies. People don't like having a mirror held up. Superman has to be perfect from day one and we have to be perfect, too. It's a joke.

They shouldn't adhere to any particular formula. Why be so upset over someone changing up a story and its characrers from.the way it's been told for 80 years?

Are you simcerely telling me you didn't think it was at the very least more interesting than the avengers?
>>67822846
>implying all change is good change is good change
he didn't imply that at all
>implying allegory and escapism are incompatible
no but avengers only qualifies for one of those as well and look how critics received it
>>67822019
It certainly doesn't deserve 20 damage control threads on the catalog at all times. Pace yourself, you fucking puke.

It had me bored stiff.

>"Y u b upset over changes?"
Seems to imply change is assumed good.
>Avengers wasn't allegory
Millitary organisations adapting to new global threats using unorthodox means...
You're right buddy, no parallels to reality there.
Or does subtext need to be supratext in the world of Snyder....?
