What's up with this Snyder obsession with Bible symbolism?
>>69731833
I don't see it. could you make it more blatantly obvious for me?
Babby's first symbolism
It's not like Snyder is able to grasp even that
That's not referring to the Bible, that's referring to a Renaissance artwork.
>>69731884

>>69732082
>it's supposed to be abd
>>69731833
Because Biblical Jesus symbolism is the most overt and accessible symbolism in any media.
It doesn't even need to mean anything - a little nod of the head to Jesus and a baseline lowest denominator viewer believes there's something profound going on.

What point are capeshit directors even attempting to make when they make these heavy handed biblical references? Is it just an attempt to add a veneer of "maturity" to their manchild dirge?
>>69731994
Yours is shit
>>69731833
Snyder's symbolism is just cheap garbage. He doesn't even use it to advance the narrative or add any depth.
There's this one hipster faggot at my gym that always brings in a huge copy of The Brothers Karamazov to read while he's on the bike. He's apparently been reading the same book for over a year now and it appears that he's still lost somewhere in the first chapter. That's Zack Snyder.
>>69732144
put some effort in at least
>>69732195
Yes. They're trying to bring credibility to schlock.
It's funny seeing manchildren fanboys squabble over capeshit companies without realising it's all the same shit.

He's autistic and imagines it's somehow inheritly deep. He's a Faggot.
God is great. That's why.
>>69732195
I didn't see watchmen, but in MoS and BvS it seems to mostly convey how humanity looks upon Superman and projects godhood upon him.
>>69732195
its really only snyder. Every other capeshit director knows they're making shit.
>>69732195
Yes, essentially. They're trying to play to the intellectual crowd the same way Ian Malcolm did. The sad thing is capeshit does it so bad everything about it reeks of trying.
>>69732373

He's very uncreative. He just takes famous works of art, or puts incredibly obvious allusions to Jesus.

Hi Whedon
Layering symbolism and deeper meaning into a film does not automatically make it a good film.
It does not make up for shit pacing, nonsensical plot, stupid, unbelievable character interactions and events, and the ridiculous amount of plot holes. Symbolism in BvS is wasted on a shit movie.
>>69733072
I wish there was a videogame half as compelling as MoS, too bad that's never going to happen.

>Marvel nu-males hate Snyder
I'm not surprised. After all, their idols are Peyton Reed and Joss Whedon.
Seeing an alpha male like Zack Snyder causes them to remember how they were bullied by an alpha male and uncomfortable and lash out the only way they know how -impotently typing out hateful words on a Japanese jpeg board. Some, like Ant-Man director Peyton Reed when shown a statement from a capeflick rumor monger saying "DC directors can physically beat up Marvel directors," choose to withdraw into safe spaces instead. It's little wonder why /tv/ connects with Marvel more.
>>69733103
>It does not make up for shit pacing, nonsensical plot, stupid, unbelievable character interactions and events, and the ridiculous amount of plot holes.
It works for Marvel and Fox though.
>>69732860
That's what your mother said when you were born.
>>69733140
>my movie isn't shit because the movies it competes against are shit
Nothing I said has anything to do with marvel or fox.
>>69731966
I still do not quite understand the reference...
He's the boldest and most uncompromising mainstream director right now. Only people who hate him are cucks.
>>69732349
No it doesn't. Your post reveals your fanboism.
Snyder is a middle-of-the-road director making capeshit. His movies are littered with obvious symbolism because that's what he's been instructed to do. Marvel locked down the family friendly capeshit market so WB decided they'd wrap their movies in a nonsensical, jarring "maturity" in the hopes that people like you would look for something that isn't there.
Terms like "graphic novel" are invented for fanboys to feel ok about consuming their kiddie media.
>>69733306
social dissonance: the post
Alright...
*takes off specs*
Let me tell you what's wrong with Mr. Zack Snyder. To put it simply, his only problem is that he doesn't care about nerd culture. That's it. That's all. Satisfied? Good. Now run along and join the other sheep. Bye. Bye!
*sits there*
Oh, you're still here? Good, you've passed the test. The truth is yes, Zack IS too careless, but he's merely guilty of disregarding TOO much nerd culture. Alright, picture this- you're walking through the English countryside and see a cinema. In this cinema you see a film, a film very different from the Simon Pegg-esque upper middle class quip oriented flicks you're used to. Through seeing this film you are shown things- wondrous things. Now, up until this moment you're just a normal bloke. You watch Netlix on the weekend, talk to uni friends on facebook, have a joke and a share witty conversations between classes and generally get on with your life. But this moment changes the entire paradigm. It's something you genuinely never thought possible, but guess what? It happened. It happened and it can't unhappen. Deal with it.
So what do you do? That's the million dollar question, right? What do YOU do? Do you keep it to yourself? Sure, that would make things much easier, but why do that? Why keep it to yourself? Why do something simply because you're in fear of stepping out of the small, narrow box that society has put you in? That's the definition of, to use a much used modern phrase, a cuck. Yes, a cuck.
At the end of the day Zack Snyder is, at the very least, not a cuck. That's something he has over most people here. And that, I think, is something that must be said.
>>69733286 >>69733009 >>69732971 >>69732942 >>69732904 >>69732868 >>69732835 >>69732803 >>69732766 >>69732713 >>69732677
just one of these represents exponentially more thought/effort than zack snyder exerted over the course of his entire career.

I don't need to. It speaks for itself. I also don't need to make an infographic (or 20) to convince others, as its blatantly obvious to everyone who doesn't have literal shit for brains.

It is bottom of the barrel. Spoonfeeding at it's worst.
>>69732792
No it doesn't. It just tries go draw a paralel with Jesus. And it fails horrible because Jesus never killed somebody and when he got caught he accepted his destiny.
>>69734005
lol, pleb
>>69733986
>non stop questions about character motivations every day since the movie was released
yeah, way too overt in the exposition.
It's the easiest symbolism; both to apply and to recognize.
>>69733487
Great argument.
I'm sure your bedroom is full of batman toys... I mean collectible figurines.
>>69732310
how exactly do you advance the narrative with symbolism?
>>69734031
>implying
Jesus is a prophet on the Quran. Snyder is going to pay for not praising Allah in his movies and using one important prophet and not a single mention of Muhammad
>>69734089
Malick and Bresson. Bruh
Unless you are two pleb to know those guys

Think about it for a moment.

You are right. They are the sons of somebody else.
He is raising the sons of some random dude.
>>69734032
>it's good because it's poorly made
>characters making no sense means it's intriguing
It's spoonfeeding. What manchildren like you don't understand is that characterisation doesn't matter when your only reason for making the "movie" is to get two men on screen punching each other so you can secure a franchise for the next decade. It's made for little kids. That's why it contains two men in tights punching each other, anon. It's made for kids to buy toys.
>>69732506
2012? holy shit. what a classic
>>69732181
I thought the whole jesus story was just an allegory for robocop?
>>69734766
Robocop's allegory is handled with so much more finesse than schlock like BvS. Great satire too.
>that symbolism
nice
>>69731833
When you create something you put in your work something that interests you/resonates with you/ inspires you. The biblical symbolism seem to inspire Snyder and it goes hand in hand with Snyder's version of the superman so I don't really see the problem. It's heavy handed, sure, but it didn't pull me out of his movies too much.

No you're deluded. You've convinced yourself that anyone that doesn't like this garbage dislikes it because they "didn't get it".
Everyone sees it. His imagery is as subtle as a brick to the face and makes most people cringe.
>>69734230
it's just a meme, like baneposting. It's pretty fun actually
>>69737553
Clearly not a meme. Fanboys here get very riled up about capeshit.
Its the only thing he can do symbolism for

This. Get your head on straight, OP.

that's not "biblical", retard
the painting was done 1500 years after the bible. fanart, if anything.
