I don't know about you guys, but I seriously can't go a week without being forced to snap a guy's neck after we spend an hour leveling a city during a massive fight.

If the Snyder Defense Force can read that quote and still defend this fucking slop than I give up. If they want to defend movies that have nothing but naked contempt for the source material, go right a-fucking-head. I wash my hands of all of you.

I don't see the problem with this. Although I realize that Superman isn't the most relatable hero. It's hard to relate with idealists, that's sort of the point isn't it?

Shit, I remember that time I snapped some dude's neck after we smashed through a city block of buildings, and that time I survived the bombing of the senate then got my shit slapped around by some rich asshole who nearly killed me until he learned our mother's shared the same name and wait, no, none of that fucking shit happened because no one goes through that every day.
Except some kind of psychotic fusion of a gazelle jugular biting Lion, a Wrecking Ball and twins separated at birth?

"Relatable", Jesus Symbolism Christ. You want to know what makes Superman relatable despite his superpowers Deb? It's when his character is Smallville born and raised Clark Kent, not Clark Cunt.

Yeah, he's a filmmaker, not a comic enthusiast.
And, compared to Reeve's kiddie Otis-fly-around-the-world trash, it is "grown up".

MoS feels like a mid 2000's comic as opposed to the '77 movie feeling like baby pre crisis crap.

Snyder delivered a Superman who's what your normal 20-something with superpowers would deal with. Its a burden, not a privilege or identity. Like the new Fantastic 4 movie where the director said "superpowers are like having a handicap".

Audiences didn't want to see that though. They got a deconstruction when they wanted something played straight.

you seriously enjoy a superman that threatens to kill people and acts like the second coming of jesus christ? the reeves movies are definitely cheesy but at least they have charm and they aren't so overly dramatic

the concept of batman fighting superman is inherently silly

>>85595338

do they actually show that burden in the films beyond people treating him as a monster or the second coming of jesus christ? henry cavill is a fucking robot, that's why people didn't like him in BvS or man of steel

>>85595651
Not only that but he also loves his son so much he would rather risk the lives of a schoolbus full of children than have his life ruined. That's real love, and very realistic. People who don't like Pa Kent just hate their parents.

Nothing adds up, secret identities aren't a thing and Pa should have no reason to be afraid of people coming to take his son. Furthermore, half the town already knows he's got superpowers anyway.

Pa Kent in the movie comes off as an extreme right wing lunatic, the kind of person who puts pic related on his car.

He's not going to spend an entire day on a building with someone who want to commit suicide white people are dying.
>>
>>85595871
Same character put in a different universe and thus has a different experience. Simple. If he had the training from being Superboy or adventures with the Legion of Superheroes he would have had enough of a grasp of his powers to not have to kill Zod.

Further, the idea that they think they could benefit from responding is silly. The fact is the people have spoken with their wallets, and no attempt of justification will change that. If Snyder want to keep going then just do it, enough yapping. I don't care and I will not give him any of my money.

>>
>>85596155
This so much.

Remember that scene in Morrion's Action comics where he's on Brainiac's ship. "You'll never keep these people in a bottle." Superman is about the common good in all people. His greatest super power is that he's a good person.

You can do a "Superman can't into humanity" story. That was basically Earth One. Birthright had elements of it. But Superman is generally the people's champion. When he shows up people cheer.

When he's hovering over people he's just saved he should say something with a smile as the music swells, not grimace and look like he can't stand being around people.

He's not supposed to be Spider-Man or X-Men.

I don't get the "dark is more relateable" argument. Most people find a social group to fit in with-that's why the Daily Planet stuff is so important. Most people feel good when they save people.

Most people talk and communicate, not say nothing when called to explain themselves to people.

Most people can relate to Superman, but not this Superman.
