Thoughts on this masterpiece?
One of my favorite shows ever and a true masterpiece.
But, it belongs on /co/.
Why does every studio/company like to fuck over Genndy?

A gorgeous show.
/swg/ Screenwriting General
What are you writing?
Any new ideas?
Got writers block?
Discuss fell writers
Is there any screenwriting apps out there? For Android specifically
>>67700688
Not sure about for android, but iOS at least has Celtx's scriptwriting app, it's helpful.
i seem to be a lot better with ideas and treatments than i am with actual screenplays.
doesn't even feel like technical problems either although i know i have weaknesses.. it's just.. can't seem to do "rough" drafts and sane editting either. i write something and it may be good or whatever but my perfectionism and ocd start kicking in and im more likely to just destroy the draft and start over. whenever i try to edit it gets even more frustrating because the rhythm gets lost and i feel like im trying to do patchjobs on a sinking ship.
so now i don't do anything with a script until it's already very close in my head, and then when i do, i don't know how to move forward after that first draft. everything i write feels like shit on one level or another. i think im going to need to direct. fuck.
send help please.
>What's the oldest lie on /tv/, Anon?
That Lex Luthor behaving like The Joker wasn't intentional.
The entire point of the movie is to show that the Superman mythos belongs to no one and everyone at the same time. This is the historical baggage that Snyder is aware these characters carry: An endless barrage of fanboys and comicbook lore since the 30's, comparison to other iconic characters, and everyone thinking they have the last word on how these characters should and would act.
Superman is Christ, Moby Dick, King Arthur, Zorro, JFK, The White Rabbit/Bugs Bunny, the Classical hero.
Batman is Ahab, a vampire, Lancelot, Charles Foster Kane, Dr. Bill Hartford, John the Baptist, the tortured soul seeking redemption.
Doomsday is a fire-breathing dragon, King Kong, a falling meteorite, a nuclear holocaust, the mythical Hydra, Mordred, the monster inside oneself.
The Kryptonite spear is Excalibur, Longinus, Zeus' spear, Ahab's harpoon, Zorro's rapier, Alexander the Great's sword, dispassionate power and judgement.
Lex is The Joker, The Mad Hatter, Elmer Fudd, Oedipus, Icharus, Salome, the Tragic cynic. There are many comparisons with the Nolan trilogy because this film embraces it as part of the mythos too. For instance, the Batmobile scene culminates in Batman running into Superman, while in the Nolan version he decides to spare the Joker on his motorcycle. The Gotham football team's uniform is the same color in both films. Lois Lane and Rachel are dropped from a skyscraper.
It's a deconstruction and analysis of the characters themselves.

The film thrives on these types of associations, like the red Jolly Rancher pushed into the senator's mouth - "it's cherry" - coming back as the blood dripped onto Zod's face, the red graffiti on Superman's monument, and his slashed cheek, not to mention the nods to internet culture and memes (4U CIA). It's precisely this uncomfortable reevaluation and redemption of sugary pop imagery that drives the film. "Snyder intends to resolve the conflict between commerce and art," as Armond White notes. The basic thesis is that Superhero franchises are antithetical to what Superman actually stands for.
The fact that not a single character behaved the way fanboys expected just proves the point that all this was intentional (for instance, Alfred isn't a butler and Lois isn't a lady).
>Boys share too.
Let's try to prove, disprove, or modify this thesis. Everyone is welcome to participate, be civilized.

Lex is the embodiment of ressentiment m8, I wouldn't go so far as to call him the Last Man but he's clearly unable embrace greatness and the idea of overcoming

Can we get some underrated non-Disney animated movies?
Cats Can't Dance is one of the best animated movies I've ever seen.
>Amazing soundtrack
>Beautiful animation
>Memorable villains
This movie still holds up well to this day.

i know that movie
Does Disney channel still make child stars? I feel like Miley, Selena, Demi, and JoBros were the last "generation" of TV child mega-celebrities. Most recent example I can think of is the Shake it Up girls and they aren't nearly as popular as the others I mentioned.
>>67699908
I think they're called Freeform now
>>67699965
this
98% of Disney stars come across as goody two shoes so they have to become junkies or whores to shed that image, those are the only ones who make it.
Alright, /tv/, for the triple the points...
Name something you stick in your mouth, but don't swallow.

So, we're all rooting for the Captain, right?
His philopshy is unquestionable, because it is rooted in Judeo-Christian values. You agree with it whether you consciously like it or not.
Tony just wants to control things and act autonomouslay. Yet, develops PTSD and can't handle it.
do either of these characters stand for fuckall or have any characterization beyond meme quips and punching?
Of course. Cap is the best hero.
