Most people talking shit about the movie simply don't get what Snyder was trying to do.
Snyder is attempting to equate superheroes to mythological beings, making parallels between the events in the movie and works of universal literature, greek myths, iconic religious figures and arthuric legends.
Every single one of them serves a different purpose.
Moby Dick illustrates Batman's obsession and the loss of himself that ensues.
Luthor comparing Supes with Prometheus illustrates his allegorical fight against Olympus and his comparison of Zod with Icarus mirrors Zod's exhorbitant ambition.
Arthuric imagery deals with the entire tragedy aspect, the rupture of a pact shatters the lives of those involves and precipitates their death, moral (BW) and literal (CK), but since at the end they are reborn in those aspects that's when religious imagery comes in.
Religious imagery is both used to convey how timeless these ideals behind the superheroes are, and to establish a dissonance between Clark by himself and clark as seen by others, it is also used to convey transformation, rebirth and absolution.
Also people complaining about Clark picking up the spear at the end are stupid. This is the one and only truly selfless and heroic decision he takes during the course of the movie, the harpoon he takes being his only weakness actually adds another dimension to what's happening, he's living up to his image.
I noticed a neat visual reference to the dissonance between ideal superman and actual superman in the shot when you have Supe's monument on the left, Superman on the right and doomsday in the middle, the framing makes Clark look minuscule in comparison to both.

MoS = Birth
BvS = Death
Justice League = Ressurection
Quite literally, of both superman and the DCEU
Goddamn give it a rest already.
And, much like your post, it's still a giant mess of half-baked ideas poorly presented.
>>68705416
You spend 16 hours a day making up excuses for this one awful movie. Every time you start a new thread, you ignore whatever comments were made in the previous one.
You want people to circle jerk to this piece of shit. It's not going to happen.
Have a nice day of reposting this shit.
Is this the Ulysses of capéshít?
Great post, OP. To piggyback off what you said here's the man himself going on about the mythological undertones of BvS.

BvS conveys all these ideas with all the subtlety of a dumptruck driving through a nitroglycerin plant.

You got him good!
And I'm glad to see you keep coming back as well- maybe you can be the Joker to OP'S Batman
Every time he speaks of the movie, you can be there to tear him down
This is pretty epic dude. I hope you are taking it seriously

Not falling for your b8 Satan
You know better than anyone else that it's a meta-commentary about the transposition between real life icons and fictional ones and vice-versa.
shut up already, Snyder has the intellectual depth of a 13 years old. Pic related, this me being as subtle as Snyder. Even Bay is more subtle than him ffs.
>No one understood what he was trying to do.
Are you fucking serious? It's precisely because anyone above 13 perfectly understood what he was trying to do that everyone shits on him and his flick.
Quit your toxic Snyder addiction kid.
>kryptonite rock comes from the watermt doom

Bonus round
>water washes off the sin of trying to murder
>weapon now used for good

Hmmm ... why do i feel like these threads are nothing but an excuse for marketeers to preach brand loyalty?
>compete among yourselves kids
>whoever gives us more money wins haha
Though thats just a theory of course, lets close with a fact then:
Fact: hero movies sucks.

Here's the worse fact: Super Hero movies are all we really have these days.

you mean like superman and jesus parallels in man of steel?
doesnt mean it's good or necessary

>Most people talking shit about the movie simply don't get what Snyder was trying to do.
Maybe he should have achieved his endeavor instead of just trying.
>>68705416
>>Snyder is attempting to equate superheroes to mythological beings, making parallels between the events in the movie and works of universal literature, greek myths, iconic religious figures and arthuric legends.
So literally the same thing every superhero story ever has done since superheroes were created, except this time spelled out for the retards?
>Most people talking shit about the movie simply don't get what Snyder was trying to do.
Im going to stop you right there. Then, he should have done a better job. He failed to entertain those people, means he failed. The movie is a failure.
>>68706573
Here's a more poignant fact: Zack Snyder should be directing people to their seats.

Weak
>>68705568
Based Snyder already delivered that in watchmen
>Most people talking shit about the movie simply don't get what Snyder was trying to do.
Oh yeah sure people will fully agree with that.
Too bad the film's garbage though huh
Doesnt matter if these ideas are in the film. They were badly executed, plain and simple. No amount of rationalising will change this fact.
>>68705416
Know what's awesome? Nobody gives a shit about this movie anymore. It's old news already. It didn't change anything, it didn't help anything. It's a forgotten shitpile.
