>It's cherry.
Jesus, now I see what /tv/ means when they say Eisenberg is fucking insane. Everyone knows that green apple is the best flavor. Cherry is fucking gross.
>doesn't get the SUBTLE DOUBLE MEANING
>>68102373
it was a redpill in Lex's eyes, and an allusion to blood, which is a recurring theme
>Making another man suck on your cherry
>Sticking it in his mouth full force while looking directly as his eyes
Was it rape?

what's wrong with lex?

People asking why he made Doomsday, think about the creation scenes -- how he cries when examining Zod. The Greek Icarus flew too close to the sun and fell, Zod and the other Kryptonians came across the universe simply to restore their people. Yet Superman struck them down, in Lex's eyes, to cement his status as a god. He gives the genesis chamber his own DNA and weeps viewing the lethal results of Superman's righteousness. "If God is all-good, then he cannot be all-powerful" Lex manically laments as he remembers the abuses of his father. So if the super man's intentions for humanity are so supremely pure that he would act as destroyer for his own race, then there is no way he will never live up to them. The largest departure from comic book Lex Luthor is that he is no longer antagonizing Superman out of jealousy, beneath it all is a despair that Superman cannot fulfill the promise he made to this world.
(1/2)
>>68102623By his interaction with the ship and Zod, Lex is more a bridge between 2 worlds than Superman will ever be. After Zod is reborn, Lex reaches out to embrace him. Mad scientist Lex Luthor is more a spiritualist as the ghost of Krypton arises to meet him. The worlds torn asunder by Superman, rather explicitly or implicitly, are linked by a shared experience of moral objectivism. Zod's unerring beliefs could not coexist with the Superman the same as tumultuous nature of humanity cannot. "If man won't kill God, then the devil will do it", there's double meaning: first off, Batman failed to end the Superman, but more importantly, Superman refused to give up his goodness - his godliness - viewing the underbelly of mankind. Batman's character arc in this movie is remembering that moral absolutes do still exist, then Lex's arc is attempting to prove to the world that they do as well. He never thought Superman would kill Batman. A layman would view Lex's catalog of metahuman files as brought on by paranoia. "The oldest lie in America is that power can be innocent" -- think of this of the objectivist scale, not the relativist one. These extraordinary people Lex catalogued cannot simply exist and be complacent, they factually must be like Superman as either savior or destroyer. Remember that despite aiding mankind, Prometheus was no man. Yet Lex's greatest fear is not that Olympus will succeed in stopping Prometheus - Superman has already brought down Olympus -, it's that humanity will. That necessitates the creation of Doomsday, the devil, a being rising against its destroyer. If Superman exists and is godly, then the devil must exist. If life is given to mankind by Prometheus, then anti-life must be given as well.
This, of course, perfectly ties together with the coming of Darkseid. In that deleted scene, he prays before Darkseid's church. Zack Snyder's Lex Luthor does not hate Superman. His villainy comes from believing in him the most out of anyone on the planet.

Which is like the Blood of Christ and Superman is Jesus so it's alluding to the crucifixion. Bravo Snyder!
>>68102373
the senator is gonna freak
>Lex is completely convinced that you'll do as he says, and that you will swallow when he tells you to. And he is right.
Which is entirely in character

>Green apple
>Not blue raspberry
Now I know why I've felt this board has been declining in quality as of late
I'm surrounded by philistines
>>68102515
>>68102667
He's also going to rape the people i.e. pop their cherry
Snyder is such a visionary
>>68102373
Any normal person would respond like what the fuck are you doing creep and not take the candy. Lex is a more far fetched character in this movie than people with superpowers.
