No idea why they couldn't just do regular superman in the DCEU. I'd be a whole lot more receptive if this was just it's own thing. But this DCEU will probably at least get around 7-10 movies, which means I have to put up with Snyders shitty interpretation of what he thinks makes superman cool.

Snyder had 1 job, which was to set up the DCEU and he fucking took it and bungled it. It's not that hard to get Superman and Batman right. But now, the next wave of DCEU directors/writers have to fix Snyders mistake of an emo superman and a DKR batman.

Snyder fucking killed Superman in the DCEU IN HIS SECOND FUCKING MOVIE. What the fuck kind of garbage is that. He's just an uncreative hack that doesn't know how to write good stories/direct good original stories. That's why his best work is basically just copying a more creative persons work.

It would be "regular superman" if in a regular superman story, metropolis blows up and in the issue 9 of the 2nd arc Superman dies.

When writing a superman story, you can't just go out and make in apocalyptic right off the bat. I mean you can, but I'm going to critique it because the story sucks. The destruction porn took away from superman being superman.

If Squirl girl ever gets a movie, do you think the tone should be dark gritty and a horror movie? Or a lighthearted adventure comedy? It's all about tone, and coming out of a Superman movie I shouldn't feel depressed, that's the exact opposite of how I should exit the movie. The tone of the movie did not fit the general theme of the character.

When screen writers/directors sit down, the first question is what story do we want to tell. What do we want to convey, and they completely missed the ball on it with Man of Steel. It's so obvious that they clearly do not understand the character and why people love him. It's not about Superman fighting the toughest villain, it's not about Superman punching his enemies through clouds and throwing them through buildings. It's about inspiring and having emotional conflicts. Just watch Grant Morrison's interview on Superman

Nah, that image and your response is Snyder in a nutshell: he can recreate scenes but he doesn't get the character. There are things done in the movie that heroes do but there aren't any heroes. It's why so many people so strongly rejected Snyder's interpretation of the characters.

The very fact that you have to try and convince people otherwise proves the point.

If you aren't trolling and genuinely don't under what Bernardin was getting at, it's kind of a lost cause. You're not going to be able to understand why there were no heroes in this movie and why everyone finds this interpretation of the characters so hollow and wrong.

No, read more carefully.

You're trying to dispel the notion that Bats and Supes in BvS weren't heroic. But why would you have to work to dispel this notion at all? You seem to be aware that this is a fairly widely-held opinion. Why is that? If the movie and characters were obviously heroic there wouldn't be any need to strain to convince everyone. There's no controversy over the heroic nature of characters in other cape movies.

The answer, of course, is that the depiction of the characters in the DCEU didn't connect with most people. It didn't convey heroism to people. You can argue till your face turns blue that they're wrong, but your'e missing the point: you shouldn't have to work so hard. Something went wrong. The audience didn't get whatever the movie was trying to convey. This means the movie didn't do a good job communicating to the audience, or else this impression wouldn't be so widely held.

It's like when people have to write walls of text to explain MARTHA or other plot points that are widely despised. When you find yourself doing that, you should stop and think that whatever was trying to be communicated did not get across. Whatever the intent may have been, the execution clearly didn't connect with the mass majority of people.

>>91731838
I, I don't even know where to fucking begin.

Just because something is the popular opinion doesn't make it true. Just because you have an emotional teether to that opinion doesn't either. You're appealing to the majority and emotion to support your opinion. Neither of these things make an argument. Just because someone is argueing from outside of the popular thought doesn't mean they are wrong.

What matters is the argument itself. What that image showed above is that within the movie there are several examples of Superman being Superman. Examples that never seem to come up within the circle jerk of why people didn't like the films.

That's fine if you don't, you don't even have to explain yourself. But to make blanket statements about characterization that simply don't match what is in the film, and then to say "well most people just don't see it that way" is fucking retarded.

>>91732028
I didn't move the goalposts because I'm not the same anon you were talking to before. Contrary to popular believe there's not just one person that Disney hired to say they find Snyder's rendition to be off putting.

Nor do I necessarily think that the goalpost is even moved. The point that other guy was saying is true; if you have to spend 3+ years telling people a guy is likable he probably isn't. People didn't "not understand". We're talking about an emotional response; they didn't find the guy likable, they thought the victories were too pyhrric, that the ends didn't justify the means, that they couldnt' form an emotional attachment to the character or the story etc. Your trying to argue otherwise. You can't. Your feelings aren't theirs, and going "You're dumb for having those feelings" isn't winning you any arguments or hearts or minds.

It's ironic, because a huge facet, if not the entire point of Snyder's Superman in story is that he can't force people to like him no matter how "good" he is, yet here you guys are posting memes and infographs and trying to force (read: berate) people into liking the story for months and months and months.

Maybe you need to do what he did and kill yourselves so we'll see the light. But that seems like it'd be extreme, right?

Right, and the argument is whether Superman is heroic in the DCEU movies. Most people don't think so.

> What that image showed above is that within the movie there are several examples of Superman being Superman.

The problem is you're presenting these images without the context of the whole DCEU in which they appear, which is what people are reacting to. Within this context these images do not at all show Superman being Superman, they show a character who is very un-Superman-like occasionally doing things Superman would do.

>But to make blanket statements about characterization that simply don't match what is in the film, and then to say "well most people just don't see it that way" is fucking retarded.

No, it's just the simple truth. You're trying to explain why Superman was heroic in the movie, yet most people disagree. What's "heroic" is a matter of perception, and clearly, even with these examples, people don't perceive him that way. That means the heroism is not being conveyed, other elements beyond these examples are interfering.

It's because you're picking isolated examples rather than looking at the film as whole: its tone, its overall depiction of the characters, etc. THAT'S why people don't find Snyder's Superman heroic, despite having him doing things heroes do.

Whether these characters are heroic or not is entirely a matter of emotion and popular sentiment because what constitutes "heroism" is in the eye of the beholder. These movies clearly do not meet most people's definitions.

>>91732264
Not sure why I have to given that you're addressing the argument at hand to begin with. You guys are trying to use logic and intellect to tackle a problem that was never about logic and intellect. You're arguing the letter of the law when everyone else is arguing the spirit of it.

Not to mention that if we look at it, on paper, on the letter of it, the out of context cherry picking you do ignores the fact that it's all fruit of a poisonous tree, namely that the Earth Snyder presents would actually be better off had Kal El died as an infant and never made it there. I can easily argue that he's not acting heroically so much as he's just cleaning up the mess of his existence.

Yes he stopped Zod, but Zod wouldn't even BE there if not for him sending out a signal.
Yes he stopped the World Engine, but it wouldn't have been turned on if not for the Codex in his blood.
Yes he beat Doomsday, but Doomsday only existed because he littered alien tech and corpses over a civilization that even he knew wasn't' ready for that stuff.
Yes he "redeemed" Batman, but Batman was fucking retired and wasn't doing anything to need to be redeemed from before he showed up.
Yes he'll probably be instrumental in beating Darkseid (even though it already makes no sense) but again, Darkseid was summoned via alien tech that is only there and able to be used because of him.

And most importantly, (and because I know this is going to get brought up eventually and in fact doubt the people that will respond to this will even read this far) yes, while comic book Superman and many other superhero franchises present the paradox of the hero creating his villain, Snyder's version lacks the dual buffers of genre convention and charisma to mitigate those facts. THAT is where the misunderstanding is.

Exactly. I know "autist" gets thrown around a lot but I seriously think these guys are autistic:

"DCEU SUPERMAN IS LIKABLE AND HEROIC!"

"But most people don't find him likable or heroic."

"YOU CAN'T ARGUE WITH EMOTION OR POPULAR APPEAL! LET ME TELL YOU HOW PEOPLE SHOULD FEEL ABOUT THESE CHARACTERS!"

I don't think these people can even understand what's going on. Do they really think they're going to use the power of LOGIC to convince people about their feelings?
>>

>Shouldn't be a big deal.

But it should. MoS, and especially BvS, are such valueless garbage that so badly butchered their characters that if you don't immediately recognize that you're just human garbage.

>>91732621

The age isn't really a problem, it's making him Bat-Punisher who brands those he doesn't kill. As you say, it turned him into an unrecognizable version we despise.
>>
>>91732717
I don't argue that Batman killing people isn't a major problem. But as shitty it is, and as annoying as it will be, it'll get retconned.

You can't retcon Batman's age. You can have flash back movies but are people really going to want that? Does Afleck have what it takes to stick around 10 years the DCEU planned out ahead of it. Having a younger batman this wouldn't be a problem, but with an older one. You're going to run into that problem.

> Within this context these images do not at all show Superman being Superman, they show a character who is very un-Superman-like occasionally doing things Superman would do.

Ok now we're getting somewhere. Now without fucking appealing to emotion please explain this thought out further. You've laid out a premise. Great! But that's all. There's no argument here just a statement.

You don't believe Snyder's Superman is Superman. Why?

> You're trying to explain why Superman was heroic in the movie, yet most people disagree.

God damn it I thought we went over this. Ok look see this is the problem. You say people just don't get it or like it. But people in this thread claim they do get it and do like it. You point out that having to write essays to explain it some how negates their point, but those essays are being written to explain the fucking point. See the problem with just appealing to popularity? It doesn't tackle the actual argument here.

> Whether these characters are heroic or not is entirely a matter of emotion and popular sentiment because what constitutes "heroism" is in the eye of the beholder. These movies clearly do not meet most people's definitions.

That's great that you want to keep on chiming up the subjectivity of cinema. But it is entirely irrelevant wether or not a movie meets the majority of peoples definitions, interpretations, or appeal. What matters is what is presented.

See here's the thing with subjectivity that gets lost on most people. Just because opinions can vary and the conclusions of arguments each have equal merit doesn't mean they are all grounded in a logical or well thought out form. If you can't explain yourself and have to appeal to emotion and popularity, you might want to rethink shit

It kind of is when you are doing an adaptation, and even if you aren't...the fact that you can't generate the feeling that you intend on the audience shows that you are a bad storyteller.

A good storyteller knows how to make a character sympathetic when he wishes so, or make him tragic when he wishes so. If a person tries to make someone feel "x" for a character, but fails, you failed as a storyteller.

Not the person you are arguing to, by the way.

>>
>>91733003
>the fact that you can't generate the feeling that you intend on the audience shows that you are a bad storyteller.

The trouble is that audiences are not one single creature or hive mind that all thinks the same way. Never mind that personal experience ranging from birth to five minutes before viewing can dramatically alter how a person views or experiences a movie.

There are people who had the intended feeling for what was put in front of them. These people exist. It might not have been as wide spread as Snyder or WB might have liked but to invalidate their experiences because the majority felt a different way is just bizarre.

That's the point I'm making here. You can go blue in the face telling me the majority of people didn't like it. That's fine. But it doesn't mean they are right. Doesn't mean Snyder failed to convey what he wanted. Doesn't mean the movie is bad.

Those aspects of a film need further discussion beyond just broad emotional response.

You're trying to demand people feel differently about these characters. They feel this way because the movie doesn't resonate with them. It doesn't conform with the popular notions of what heroes are.

Most people say they don't see these characters as heroes. This isn't an issue of "logic". It's ridiculous to keep insisting that only logic should be used for a matter of emotional appeal and popular conception. "Heroism" is a matter of emotion and popular conception, there's no rational argument to it, and you won't and can't convince people their identification of characters as heroic is wrong using purely logos.

Sorry, you just have a very childish conception of the world. You'll find things don't break down into neat logical metrics, and you'll be frustrated by it as you are now.

Instead of screaming at people about how they should logically feel, it would be more fruitful to figure out what most people's ideas of heroism are, and why these movies seem to have failed to connect with those.

But you can explain why you do or don't see it within a character. You can cite examples that demonstrate the areas in which you expected a character to act one way when instead they acted another. You can explain your expectations going in and where something failed or succeeded in meeting those.

You might not be able to make a character likable but if you want your opinion to be worth anything you are expected to explain why you did or didn't like them.

The thing is, this is meanless.

This is a dumb blockbuster made to appeal to people and fans of the character or potential fans. If just a select feel like,you failed.

And if you want to go this subjective, anybody can argue that The Room is in ironically the best movie ever because Tommy Wiseaul think that it is, or that Sonicho is a great comic, because Chris Chan thinks so.

>That's the point I'm making here. You can go blue in the face telling me the majority of people didn't like it. That's fine. But it doesn't mean they are right.

But you're getting this backwards: you're the one trying to convince everyone else that they're wrong about how they feel. That was the entire start of this "argument", trying to prove "logically" that people are wrong when they say DCEU Superman isn't heroic.

>Doesn't mean Snyder failed to convey what he wanted.

It most certainly does, for the majority of people. You're setting up a strawman: no one is arguing that 100% of the audience will agree on anything. What is being said is the simple fact that clearly most of the audience doesn't find these characters to be heroic, since it's such a common complaint. Snyder therefore failed to convey heroism to most people.

No one is talking about some Platonic Form of Heroism, just that this movie did not effectively convey heroism since most people didn't see it that way. I doubt it was Snyder or WB's intent for most people to have this reaction. Thus they've failed in their communication of their intent.

>>91733226
I have made no fucking claim in this thread about if Superman is likable or heroic.

My entire point has been that I don't give a fuck what the majority thinks and have been trying to get across to you here that if someone can't explain what they found wrong or right about something they saw then they aren't worth talking to about it.

You don't like it! Great! Now why the fuck does that matter when you're not going to explain why?

> Instead of screaming at people about how they should logically feel, it would be more fruitful to figure out what most people's ideas of heroism are

Dude, I fucking said that.

>>
>>91733397
>I have made no fucking claim in this thread about if Superman is likable or heroic.

Yes, you did. This all started when someone, maybe you, posted that image as "proof" that people are wrong when they say Snyderman isn't heroic. When it was pointed out that this image can't "prove" anything of the sort, you launched into an autistic crusade wherein you repeatedly demonstrated that you don't understand emotional or popular appeal and think you can logically argue about how people should feel.

The whole point is that most people don't find Snyderman likable or heroic, and you can't "logically" argue about this.

And here you are, and here you will be forever, raging and fuming that people feel the way they do and won't use LOGIC to feel the way you think they should.
>>
>>91733366
> you're the one trying to convince everyone else that they're wrong about how they feel.

Can you quote me to this please? Been very clear here that all I'm asking for is an explanation for their feeling and been very consistent at stating not liking the films is just fine.

> Thus they've failed in their communication of their intent.

So what it is here? Subjective interpretation or objective generalization? I'm confused since you're argueing both of these depending on what tune you need to hit.

Let me just repeat myself. I get that a majority of people have their problems with a wide variety of these films. That's fine. But I'd like to hear why. I have no doubt in my mind that there are some very reasonable, very persuasive, and logically thought out explanations for people's problems.

I am in no way argueing that the divine light of Richard Dawkins Science driven Logic will make someone who didn't like something suddenly like it.

But I want to fucking hear the argument. I don't give a shit what the majority thinks. Majority of people are a brain dead mindless cell of wandering sheep who will say anything to fit in and take comfort in believing they are part of a group. That's not a condemnation or some grandstanding "I'm better than everyone else" because I'll freely say I'm a part of the mindless zombies in this society who'd rather not put effort into thinking about a popcorn flick. But when you walk into a room, and want to share your opinion, do the fucking world a favor and at least have it more thought out then "Well everyone else didn't like it".

If you walk into a room where people are looking at a painting, and most people tell you they don't like it, please don't be the autist you are being here demanding they justify their feelings and telling them they're wrong.

The thing you don't (or maybe can't if you really are on the spectrum) understand is that there are no explanations for how people feel, and no arguments to be had about them. If someone sees BvS and says Superman doesn't feel heroic, that's an explanation in itself because it's an emotional reaction to the film.

Will you stop playing dumb? If you really want to know why most people don't find Snyderman heroic there are a million essays and critical reactions on the topic. Pretending this is a conversation starting from scratch is trolling. It's like a child asking "But why" to piss off the adults.

You realize that Autism is most commonly identified by a lack of empathy or care into the thoughts or feelings of others right?

If people don't want to share why they don't like something that's fine but they also shouldn't expect anyone to then give a damn about their opinion. You don't like it, great, move on to another conversation.

I'm only asking for justification by those who want to consistently be involved within this discussion. This isn't just a painting in a room, these are people who stake out this painting to tell everyone what they think.

No, that's a sociopath. Autism is the inability to understand the emotions and feelings of others. They find people and society hard to understand because they don't fit into neat, rational patterns resulting in poor social skills and difficulty in forming relationships.

Case in point.

Yeah you can probably cite examples of why you, personally, find the character to be likable or charismatic.
But it'd be dumb to do so here because Clark's lack of charisma and people skills is an honest to god plot point. You keep skipping over that and going "you didn't argue!" when that IS the argument. Because the strawman of "Not Muh" is easier to tear down.

People *in the story* are of mixed opinion as to whether or not Clark is a hero. Yet when that's reflected in reality you guys chimp out and go on and on about the logic of it.
>>
>>91734045
Not that anon but to me Snyderman isn't a hero because all the problems in these stories are of his creation, all his personal struggles are due to his own lack of agency (and a healthy dose of plot contrivance) and more than that, he's just whiny.

He pisses and moans about people viewing him as a detached god but then doubles down on acting austere. Maybe if he had a beer or visited some sick kids in the hospital he'd have better PR but said PR only mattes to him when he wants to feel sad about it.

That's tantamount to excusing Zod and Luther of their crimes.

Also Blade Trinity, he directed and wrote that piece of garbage.

Goyer had 1 hit, which was a batman origin story, how fucking hard is it to write a batman origin story for a movie. Just sit down with Batman Year One and just write it into a movie. It's not hard.
>>
>>91734640
Zod is only on earth due to Clark's actions and existence.
Lex's omtivations are tied to Clark's existence.
Doomsday is the fruit of Clark's actions in the previous movie.
Darkseid is brought to earth because of tech that Clark left on and irresponsibly left lying around despite the fact that for the first 30 years of his life he was told "don't do that it'll be bad"
And I think there's a fairly good chance that the reason he's been removed from the marketing for Justice League is because he'll end up as a brainwashed tool of the bad guys for at least part of Justice League.

Either way, If you remove Clark, you remove the impact the villains had on earth. An in the case of Zod/Doomsday, their very presence. Snyderman didn't make them be evil, but he poured gasoline on that fire every step of the way and you're sitting here posting dank based snyder memes asking us to throw him a parade for it.

Comics Superman has mitigating factors to make him work in spite of that. Factors that you keep ignoring and filing under "Not Muh"
And in terms of cold hard logic which is the only thing that seems to matter to you guys, the net gain for Comics Earth is still higher with him than without it, which is not the case under Snyder.

Supes is NEVER the reason Lex is a faggot. Lex is always a corrupt douchenozzle trying to own all of Metropolis before Clark moves to town who only PRETENDS to have "humanity's best interest" reasons to hate him when really he's just mad that someone more powerful exists to interfere in his crimes and steal the attention of the gen pop.

Actually those mitigating factors still seem to not be implemented but you're right. Which is even worse because it means not only does Clark cause more trouble for earth than he solves, but he's not ACTUALLY necessary to defeat Darkseid given that primitive humans and factions that *already existed* before him can do the job just fine.

My exact words were "READING all of Supes origin retellings",

Fact 1: Darkseid has a renewed interest in earth after millenia because he was effectively summoned by Lex Luthor.
Fact 2: Luthor "rings the bell" that brings Darkseid back to earth by talking to Steppenwolf in BvS using Kryptonian technology.
Fact 3: Kryptonian technology only exists in a usable form on earth because of Clark.

Like, you just hate these movies.

We don't even know if what Lex saw was a communication or a recording (like Zod's history story thing).
And if it WAS a communication, we don't know that Lex didn't just find out that they were already on their way, seeing as Steppenwolf had the 3 mother boxes in his hand, and Lex couldn't have told him about those because he didn't know about them. Ergo, it's possible that they already knew the boxes were on earth. Why would they come to Earth after talking with Lex if he couldn't have told them about the mother boxes?

That's only theory on your part. And what's more, were that the case they could've had that happen. Instead they chose to have Zo'd scientist guy say "we received a beacon from this planet".

And again, you keep bringing up other versions of Clark. I'm going spoonfeed this to you since apparently I have to. Those Clarks get a pass because they have the whole "Big Blue Boy Scout" thing going for them. Without that, he's just a big trouble magnet.

>>
>>91735533
Yeah that doesn't follow.
Because as you've now admitted is true:
Fact 4: Darkseid is only back on earth because of Clark (via two degrees of separation at most). It's a bit of a stretch to theorize or assume that they were headed there anyway when Luthor specifically says he's sent for them.
Fact 5: Darkseid can be repelled by factors that are not related to Clark.

Ergo, Clark not only creates problems (Zod, Lex, Doomsday, Darkseid) but is not particularly relevant or instrumental or even necessary in fixing the only one that could conceivably have existed independent of him.

As, after thirty years of being told that revealing himself would have disastrous consequences on humanity, Clark turns on an ancient alien ship without thinking about the consequences for even a second, using a key ONLY he has access to. Zod's motivations are to resurrect Krypton, which he can ONLY do with Clark's DNA.

No Clark = No Key, No Zod on Earth, no ability to resurrect Krypton (and thus no real reason to activate the world engine, No Lex sperging out (and even if he does, No Zod Corpse means no Doomsday), and maybe even no Darkseid.

This one is definitely false. In fact, there were normal people on the expedition where Clark happened to find the scout ship. If Clark weren't there the humans might have found it and Emil Hamilton or some other high level scientist may have found a way to activate it after some time of research, leading Zod to Earth at a later date. You act as if Clark never existed neither would Zod.

Jor El didn't activate the scout ship.

Because of humanity itself, the fear was society would throw a shit fit and genocides and war would happen.

The military deconstructing the ship for decades to likely make weapons & such would be worse then any logical scenario he could have come up with in his head to not activate it and remove it from their hands.

Jor El is the reason Clark is the codex, as you said, that is why Zod needs him.

By your own words that's only a theory.
Whereas the movie specifically says the key that turns the scout ship on is made of elements that do not exist on earth at all; so it's a much stronger argument they'd never be able to activate it in a way that would

And if you want to theorize, I get to do it to: In the time it takes humanity to figure out a way to use the alien technology they unearth, Zod and his crew have died of old age on the other end of the universe, as they have no powers or enhanced lifespan outside of a yellow sun. Meanwhile, humanity uses the technology they've gleaned over decades of research to cure all disease and elevate mankind via a technological singularity.

The point of the theory is to prove that there was a way in which the events could happen without Clark's interference, which is what certain people were claiming.

It really isn't.
Snyder actively, consciously, and explicitly wanted to craft a world where the protagonists are at best, Byronic heroes, where eve n the most innocuous of altrustiic actions are deconstructed and redefined as negative. (He and many DCEU fans specifically give the example of getting a cat out of a tree). He wanted a universe where you don't get a pass on collateral damage.

That's what you wanted. This is what you're praising. But that that coin has two sides to it. You want "heroes" to be complex figures called into question and their victories to be pyhrric? Fine. But that means acknowledging that flies in face of established genre convention where we give them a pass on the explosions so long as there's net gain.

But instead you want to go "look how horrible it is when this happens! why is everyone saying it's horrible that this happened?"

You want a series where they shine a spotlight on the flaws inherent in the existence of superhumans but don't want to acquiesce to those same flaws. You want to praise the difference in tone and presentation but then go "Objectively tone doesn't matter!" If it doesn't matter, then there's nothing to praise!

Story credit means that they have written a full script draft, not that the script used in shooting is that same script. There are a bunch of rules for story and screenwriter credit, you can still get a writing credit even if only 1/3 of your draft remains in the final product.

>Because of humanity itself, the fear was society would throw a shit fit and genocides and war would happen.
And yet he has no problem leaving a bunch of alien technology and corpses where humans can play with them. Despite the fact that they're not ready.

> The military deconstructing the ship for decades to likely make weapons & such would be worse then any logical scenario he could have come up with in his head to not activate it and remove it from their hands.
Like he removed Zod's Body? Like he removed the Black Zero? Oh wait he didn't do that, because Lex uses them.

>>91736021
I'm simply playing by the rules you put forth. If you go "It maybe would've happened anyway" why cant I go "Maybe it'd get better"?

>>91736094
If Lex was gonna be evil regardless then what are his motivations again?

>>91736245
>If Lex was gonna be evil regardless then what are his motivations again?
He was already evil. His motivations to do specific things against Superman are different than his motivations to do evil things in general.
>>
>>91735908
>Because of humanity itself, the fear was society would throw a shit fit and genocides and war would happen.
So, realistically, humans wouldn't give Superman the benefit of the doubt.


....So why are you insisting that I do so?

Snyder's Superman isn't a Byronic hero by a long-shot, he's a martyr more than anything. His Batman is a Byronic hero, but that's nothing particularly new nor unique to Batman. Wonder Woman looks to be shaping up as a tragic hero, at least in background.
>>
>>91736401
That's why I said "at best".
I don't think his Superman is the best.
>>
>>91729233
Since when? I keep seeing this meme but never any actual evidence backing it, just people wishing it was true. Ever since it was announced people were getting triggered over it, pretending that people who liked Snyder's Superman absolutely under no circumstances could like this version too.
>>
>>91736356
Not that guy but I thought you wouldn't have subscribed to Snyder's supposed cynicism and that that was the whole point.

Under his argument that's the only (or most likely) thing that'd happen in reality so why not? If I'm supposed to disagree with his premise why are his defenders losing their shit when I do?
>>
>>91736583
uh
Let me try to untangle this.
>>91736583
>Under his argument that's the only (or most likely) thing that'd happen
Yes, and sense it's his *argument*, I assumed that there was a disagreement.
>>91736583
>If I'm supposed to disagree with his premise why are his defenders losing their shit when I do?
Losing their shit=/=getting exasperated with the hardheadedness of some people.

*since
I'm tired.

>Yes, and sense it's his *argument*, I assumed that there was a disagreement.
I'm disagreeing as to what the character SHOULD be *if for no other reason than because the genre conventions that kept him from being this are what prevented this conversation in other incarnations, the so called "pass" everyone else gets) and expressing confusion as to why when I agree to what he IS, there's pushback, even while said changes from the classical standard are praised.

If you don't want classical boyscout Superman that's probably okay. I disagree with it, but that's okay. If you want a Superman that's called into question, whose victories are pyhrric, and is generally a little problematic, that's a departure but you're entitled to want that. I don't, but I wouldn't begrudge it were people constantly going on and on about how much smarter and more realistic it is while simultaneously chimping out when I agree to the core premise of the concept being flawed. You can't praise flaws and then get mad when people go "yeah but the flaws".


You can't really say "Superman wouldn't be seen as a hero in reality" and then go "HE'S A HERO SHUT UP" without coming off as a massive hypocrite.

I'm not sure how much this actually happens.
Just like i'm not sure that what the OP is claiming actually happens.

Forgot to say that it's much more than people saying
>yeah but the flaws

"You just don't understand it" is a pretty common rallying cry in defense of these. If you can't find that sentiment in this thread then you've either figured out some kind of filter I need to emulate or you're being dishonest.

You don't understand=/=it's a super kino masterpiece that will show you the one truth of our universe.

A lot of people did not understand the movie, as evidenced any time people talk about them here. The argument is whether they are dumb or whether the movie was actually hard to follow.

I personally found the ultimate cut easy to follow if you paid attention.
Maybe the theatrical was more opaque, I never saw it.

He sure as hell got a lot of free time on his hands now that all his villains would rather fuck with Supergirl. Whaddaya suppose he's doin' nowadays?

Not really, Not when arguing that the internal logic of the movie has holes is met with "You just don't get it", it was great Name the plot holes. Those don't count!".

The movie is very, VERY easy to follow. It's just that you have to make logical leaps to follow it AND think it's narrative is both good and sensible.

Are you only quoting only half the line on purpose?
Anyone can understand Snyder's movies.
Thinking they're good on top of that tends to require headcanons, metatextual precedent, and a whole lot of ad hominem attacks.

He's happy. Snyder's Superman is a miserable and mope year schmuck
