I hate to play the "you were too dumb for this movie" card, but after watching Civil War this weekend, I've noticed the big difference between it and BvS that is probably causing such a dissonance with audiences:

All throughout Civil War, the emotional messages were extremely heavy-handed. Tons of scenes subsisted on characters having a conversation about their feelings regarding the Sokovia Accords, even when it was just retreading the same conversation that another character had earlier. It sets a strong emotional tone, and makes sure the audience is invested and knows how to feel and why. Of course, the unrelated issue here is that the Accords are stupid as fuck, and nobody ever questions exactly how they are supposed to help the Avengers avoid more casualties, and also the fact that they completely ignore the damage caused by Iron Man vs. Hulk and that Tony was responsible for Ultron, which are really the bigger issues here that prove the Avengers DO need higher management.

Batman v Superman doesn't ever really stop to have the characters blatantly talk about how they feel or what is conflicting them. Instead it shows it. It expects the audience to be invested enough to realize why characters are doing what they're doing. It builds characterization through events, not through dialogue.

Obviously individual mileage varies as to how effective this is. The Civil War way of doing it is far more accessible and agreeable to the average audience, but the downside of this is that the movie becomes incredibly bloated and slow-moving for the sake of making sure everybody is on board. It also makes it very boring during future viewings, since dialogue making a point that the audience already knows is essentially useless.

Very little of this is true.

A neutral interpretation of BvS is that Batman is envious of Superman's ability to kill more people than him.

Superman seems to literally interpret his job as flying in, saving people, then flying away and being flummoxed that people don't universally love him.

The Superman identity is retconned as being "A farmer's dream" despite nothing in Man of Steel showing Joanthan Kent wanted Clark to become a Superman.

BvS isn't always internally consistent and Superman is barely given anything to do.

How is that neutral in any way? Bruce loves his employees very much and is angry that they died senlessly. How does this translate to Bruce being jealous that he doesn't have the power to kill the entire human race?

>Superman seems to literally interpret his job as flying in, saving people, then flying away and being flummoxed that people don't universally love him.

Superman is glad that people are happy and that he's bringing hope to them, but was that they treat him like a god. He is troubled because he is unsure how to remove the latter while still keeping the former. Even saying "I'm not a god, I'm just a guy!" would have mixed results because people would just say he's being humble.

>The Superman identity is retconned as being "A farmer's dream" despite nothing in Man of Steel showing Joanthan Kent wanted Clark to become a Superman.

I don't know what this is referring to. I always thought that it was Jor-El's dream of Kal being the savior of mankind or whatever.

>BvS isn't always internally consistent and Superman is barely given anything to do.

I don't see the inconsistency, and Superman does a lot despite not having very many lines.
>>
>>82824011
For someone who is arguing against the intelligence of Civil War, you sure don't give it much analysis.

I mean, they NAME DROP SOKOVIA. It's apparently to big a leap to make to Ultron for you, I guess.

I'm sorry to be blunt like that, but that's how it is.

But does it address collateral damage? Perhaps, it's not explicit said (something you state to be a fan of), but they do talk about the parameters regarding deployment in some depth (IE: Respecting Sovereign Borders) as well as having official actions taken for said destruction and loss of life.

It's talked about in the Cap/Tony scene right after the chase if I recall correctly.

So I don't find your argument all that strong. In fact, I find it shallow.

Visual storytelling is nice, but you admit that the audience didn't get very invested in it.

Which is admitting to a Deadly Sin beyond all others for the sake of appearing more 'artistic'.

Superman doesn't know what his job is. He's taking on a responsibility that no other person has ever had the power to do before. His entire conflict for the length of the film is that despite wanting to save humanity, he is both vilified and admired in ways that he dislikes. He's realizing that what he wants to do isn't simple for the world to take at face value.
>The Superman identity is retconned as being "A farmer's dream" despite nothing in Man of Steel showing Joanthan Kent wanted Clark to become a Superman.
This ties in with how I said people want a movie to blatantly explain shit to them. On the flipside of that coin is the fact that not all dialogue should be taken literally. You've gone and latched on to a line that Superman says in a moment of self-doubt and disillusionment and you consider it a "retcon" for some retarded reason. Pa Kent went on and on about how Superman would change the world, not as guidance, but instead as a warning. He wanted Clark to believe he was sent there for a reason. That was the dream of a Superman, and for that moment, Clark had so much trepidation about what he was doing that he was considering giving it up.
>>
>>82822451
I'd have to hear very, VERY good thing to ever consider sitting through that shit again

The movie already felt too long
>>
>>82824637
>How does this translate to Bruce being jealous that he doesn't have the power to kill the entire human race?

Because as Batman he regularly dispenses lethal justice against enemies he has decided are irredeemable monsters. Imagine you've never heard of Batman or Superman prior to watching the movie, and Batman's weird warped envy becomes more clear.

>Superman is glad that people are happy and that he's bringing hope to them, but was that they treat him like a god. He is troubled because he is unsure how to remove the latter while still keeping the former. Even saying "I'm not a god, I'm just a guy!" would have mixed results because people would just say he's being humble.

You didn't address my point. If Superman hates being perceived as a god why does he linger in long looming shots in the sky as he peers down over people? Why doesn't he engage in a dialog with others? He allows for a negative space in his public image that people project into, which is exactly what he enables by not talking more.

Why doesn't Superman pursue charities like boiling water clean with his heat vision, deliving silos of grain, or dig canals, waterways, or roads for developing nations? Superman could save billions of dollars and help billions of people with productive, constructive, and charitable acts.

>I don't know what this is referring to. I always thought that it was Jor-El's dream of Kal being the savior of mankind or whatever.

It's either before or after the Ghost Dad hallucination. Superman laments his earth dad's vision for him, even if none of that was actually previous established.
>>
>>82824649
>>82824719
No, you guys don't get it. Superman didn't have to say "look at how much of a great guy I am" he just showed it. He immediately dropped his investigation of Bruce to save the girl on the news. He stopped fighting Doomsday because he heard a person in need, not to mention that scene with all the news articles about the stuff he's done.
>>
>>82824985
Yeah but his problems could have been fixed by talking.

An example that really irked me was after the bombing. I realized that Superman couldn't have done anything about the bomb because he didn't detect it; that isn't what I find weird.

It's the fact that he just flies away, almost intentionally for it to look like he blew it up.
>>
>>82824985
I wasn't arguing that point. I was arguing that the film does nothing to make the audience care about the character of Clark Kent. He may do nice things, but the look on his face is negative and overly contemplative.

Which basically blocks any attempt to form attachments to him from an audience perspective.

A smile does a LOT. Altruism does a lot.

But Altruism is literally an alien concept to the director.

And that's the key problem.

A Superman's job is never done. He must always fly away.

If he doesn't fly away without a thought to any lingering problems, can he even call himself Superman?

Later he can go look pensive and clenched on a mountain!

It was already bloated with plot-points that could have been cut, so the idea of even more sounds like a fucking nightmare.

No cut of this movie can be good, the scenes in the film itself are bad enough that clearing up plot-holes won't fix the inherent problems with the film itself.
>>
>>82824011
The problem with "Snyder didn't tell the audience, he just shows it" is that Snyder has everyone looking grim and depressed 90% of the tme. Expecting audience to tell one scowl/pout from the next is kind of silly. Oh, Clark is sad because the everyone in the senate died? Ten second ago he was sad he was even there in the first place. There's no goddamn range.
>>
>>82824317
Clark isn't really established as "a farmer" himself. At least the association isn't similar. And even were that the case, being Superman wasn't his dream either, because Clark spends the vast majority of Man of Steel moping around the continental US looking for a purpose and being steered by plot points rather than his own agency.

Superman was Jor El's dream at best And Jor-El isn't a farmer.
>>
>>82825161
>A Superman's job is never done. He must always fly away.
Here he flying away to do something other than mope on a mountaintop I might agree with you.

Cavill's just too wooden in this franchise. It's a tragic waste of a resource.

>Even saying "I'm not a god, I'm just a guy!" would have mixed results because people would just say he's being humble.
Yeah but do you at least see how the lack of an attempt on that front ALSO characterizes him? Ignoring whether or not you believe that characterization is positive or negative, do you recognize that the lack of a reaction informs on his character as much as getting one would?

They weren't so different, but different enough to trigger the autism of purists. For example they complain about Batman killing despite Batman doing so in almost every live action production. BvS even gives you a good context for said change something that previous movies always brushed aside.

I have in fact repeatedly watched Man of Steel and found it to be a huge piece of shit every time.

There were three years of shitposting about MoS between its release and BvS and let me tell you, I have read every single fucking stupid defense of the film.

The one sole point I have ever conceded with MoS is that within Snyder's mind, MoS "successfully" fulfills the idea of a real, fallible Superman.

That's it. That's the one metric it gets to escape from.

"Superman was a farmer's dream" doesn't line up with that.

The dialog paints it like Jonathan advocated for the Superman identity, but every other thing he says to Clark is about favoring inaction.

Clark consequently lives as a hobo for a decade without any friends.

It's a morbid, morose take on Jonathan Kent and the Horses speech from BvS only further undermines the idea Jonathan wanted Clark to ever make active change in the world.

That's not true. Alfred said that he was getting more brutal lately.

Like I said before, he enjoys inspiring hope in others. He doesn't dialogue because he has no idea how to say something which will stop people from thinking he's a god and still inspire others. Go ahead and try and I'll show you how an average citizen would misinterpret it.

>Why doesn't Superman pursue charities
He moves tectonic plates and stops viruses from killing all of humanity. Anything else would be seen as a "political act" in this universe.

>It's either before or after the Ghost Dad hallucination. Superman laments his earth dad's vision for him, even if none of that was actually previous established.

Oh you mean when he was talking to Lois. I think Pa Kent still wanted Clark to do good things in Man of Steel but was worried that the world wasn't ready for him. He thought Clark would be a good guy that will help others, but not to the extent that Jor El did. I personally think that Pa Kent was wrong about timing, but Clark really took it to heart.

I agree it has its flaws, the plot was clumsily excuted and I didn't like any scene with Lois, still I can't help but enjoy everytime I see either superman or batman doing their thing.

>Like I said before, he enjoys inspiring hope in others.

Nowhere established in the film.

>He doesn't dialogue because he has no idea how to say something which will stop people from thinking he's a god and still inspire others.

Having never tried, how can he know? Let's not pretend this is part of his character arc either, he dies killing Doomsday as a inflated act of sacrifice which only further propels him to Christ-like levels of martyrdom.

>The dialog paints it like Jonathan advocated for the Superman identity, but every other thing he says to Clark is about favoring inaction.

he finds out what his father actually thought at the end of MoS, when Clark and his mother visit Pa Kents grave.

>He always believed you were meant for greater things, and that when the day came, your shoulders would be able to bear the weight

Its obvious Pa Kent didn't want to push him into anything and he knew the day would come, when the worlds finds out the true about Clark, yethe couldn't help but try to protect him from the world.

I absolutely loved the film but it was so cluttered a longer runtime will only imrove it if it doesn't introduce any new stuff.

>Jonathan thought that Clark wasn't mature yet to handled the enormous pressure and responsibility
Here's the question though. What does Clark do to gain that maturity to handle the pressure and responsiblity? He gets a 10 minute speech from Jor-El that says "Be Superman now".

He was 19 when Jonathan died and 33 when he puts on the tights, but he didn't actually do any maturing in that decade of difference, just wandering. We didn't see him come across any great self truth or realization, and he didn't even learn to cover his tracks better since hey, Lois found him by the trail he left.

So the whole "You'll be able to do it when you're older" thing is bullshit because it was never about age or maturity. It was about him needing to be free to fit the plot points. It was about him needing the same age as Christ for a hamfisted metaphor.

It wasn't about maturity, even before he put on the cape he was already saving people, it was about the right time, when the world is ready for superman and Lois actually did her re-search and it was the spaceship incident that brought her to the idea that there is an alien in this world to begin with, also as she described Clarks journey, he couldn't help but help others yet always be like an outsider.

I feel like Clark really liked being Superman, and really liked being labeled as a God.
I think his problem started when people started questioning him, everything from then on started to get very complicated for him. He doesn't know where to go anymore, there's so much crime and so much despair that he can't focus on everything at once.

Batman on the other hand looked like he was being extra cruel because he's seen some shit. Because of Leto-Joker he's on this dark path of torture and murder, blinded by grief. This only gets worse when he feels the hopelessness alfred was talking about when Supes showed up and proved that he was infact a god.

That's what I took from it anyway, really enjoyed it better than Civil War.

It's just additional violence, punching, fight scenes, sufficient to get it an R rating for 'gore/violence.'

>>82824767
>already felt too long
The theatrical movie was too long because it was over-stuffed and poorly-edited/paced. If they were releasing a 3 hour cut that wasn't merely an extended release but actually reflected re-done editing and cut material, etc. that helped with the pacing and took out some of the unnecessary fan-service (such as the Batman Injustice/Darkseid dream sequence) material, maybe, but since it's just going to be extra violence and extra punching, not on your life.


>>82822591
No, not really. My experience with Watchman was the BluRay extended and it was technically well-made but I found it uninteresting and dull. And that's without any actual experience reading the source graphic novel (and no desire to do so).

Will it fix Clark referring to his own mother (who he referred to as "mom" and "my mother" in the previous movie) by her first name out of nowhere just so Bruce can realize their mothers are both named Martha?

Because that remains the dumbest fucking thing I have ever heard. Talking about his mom like the kid from The Ring ("Don't you understand, Rachel?") so Bruce can make a connection.

Okay, ignoring the contradiction there, let's try again. What determines the "right time"? There's no indication as to when that is or even when it could be. If anything the events of BvS indicate that it's still not the right time.

Not really, it's the tone of the movie that is the problem, Snyder make the movie to be overly grim like MoS is acceptable but BvS is too over the top and this is a movie about fucking Superman.

No.

>Jonathan thought that Clark wasn't mature yet

I didn't even say that, I said about the world being ready for superman and Pa Kent wasn't sure himself when the right time would be, this is a hard question and yeah its the point of BvS that the world would react like that and actually superman was doing fine but two autists couldn't even handle supermans existence and had to ruin his life/try to kill him.

But that's just plain bad writing. Making your character speak in a stilted, unnatural way about their loved ones, particularly while they're about to die and know their loved ones are about to die as well, is dumb. Dumb as hell.

I love MOS & like BVS but I will agree with this mistake.
