Should we just give up on Superman in the DCEU at this point?

>Destructive, broody, boring and violent in MoS.
>MoS was very divisive.
>Spent 2 hours in BvS moping and being a wet blanket, and then spent the last 30 minutes getting beat up until he dies in the end.
>Normies never talk about Superman in BvS. Only Wonder Woman.
>Wonder Woman comes out and blows people away. So many people commenting she felt way more like Superman than Superman did. Some suggesting she should take over the DCEU.
>Supes will be dead for most of Justice League while the other characters fight together, banter and form relationships. He'll most likely come back as an antagonist for them to beat on until Lois snaps him out of it. Whatever the case, he's sidelined for most of the movie.
>Man of Steel 2 will introduce Supergirl, who will most likely steal the show and audiences will gravitate more toward her.

Now that last part is pure speculation, but with the way things have been going for poor Clark, it's probably going to happen. I think we should accept that they've completely fucked up Superman in the DCEU and he's probably going to be the character nobody gives a fuck about in this franchise.

Superman is being phased out of our culture. The S symbol is something everyone recognizes and knows what it means, but as a character, Superman has been fighting to stay relevant for a very long time, and it's getting worse and worse as the years go by. Man of Steel was this Hail Mary play to get him popular again, and instead it failed miserably. What's made things worse is that Wonder Woman was amazing and people love her. Now for Wonder Woman that's great, but for Superman, what it basically did is it has shown people that he fucking sucks and we don't need him. She was everything he should've been in Man of Steel.

Not to mention he was still coming to terms with his strength,


people don't want to accept that Cavill's Superman hasn't been born yet and that we are in the midway point of his arc.

you can judge his Superman once the arc is complete in Justice League until then stop sprouting fucking bullshit.
>>
The appearance of being heroic is as important as the acts of heroism themselves, especially to a living symbol like Superman.

Even if Snyderfags are right and it was a good portrayal of Superman's fundamental principles, if the masses didn't think so, then he's not that good of a symbol is he?
>>
>>93325405
No, I want him to not plow bad guys through buildings and populated areas. He could've tackled and punched the shit outta Zod without doing that.
>>
>>93325509
Putting aside the fact that this Superman is for some reason an exception and every other character themselves by the end of, if not the start of, their first movie, you guys said this after MoS. Why should I believe you now? It's far more likely that in December you'll be saying to wait for Justice League or MoS2.

Now's the part where you insult me in lieu of an argument.
>>
>>93325604
Arguable point if Snyder was writing this Superman as trying to be a symbol but his characterization is the opposite. He is just a normal guy wanting to help out & nothing more. Hence his revulsion at the Mexicans worshiping him.
>>
>>93325642
> No, I want him to not plow bad guys through buildings
And he is never shown intentionally doing that.
Compare his punches down in the streets in close quarters with Zod to the ones he let loose with here - >>93325200
And it's crystal clear he was holding back around the buildings.
>>
>>93325509
>people don't want to accept that Cavill's Superman hasn't been born yet
Bullshit. He was "born" the moment he put on the suits and started calling the shots with the military

The fact that "he's new" doesn't dispute the fact that he was reckless, and it's not a good excuse for it either
>>
>>93325657
That very well may be the case. And in such a event then their intent was never to grow into the childish boys scout & instead just let him be a more serious elseworld style take on the character like Earth One and there is nothing whatsoever wrong with that. Something never intending to appeal to you personally does not equal that thing being incompetent.

Earth One Superman can be argued to be incompetent

The sad thing is I had pretty good odds that'd be your response. In absence of a master plan there's just sour grapes and "oh well the thing you want was shit to begin with!"

> Dceu Clark spent 33 years selflessly in hiding because he feared his existence would bring harm to society but even still saved people in secret periodically because he knew it was the right thing to do. He doesn't have many close ties but those he does (Lois & Martha) he cares deeply for. He tried to shut down the tortuous crimes of the Batman as a reporter & only resorted to threatening him as Superman when that avenue was blocked by his boss. He has shown a willingness to die for the human race 3 times minimum (world engine, nuke, spear)

I'm still hoping. Superman is quickly becoming one of my favorite characters since Rebirth, and is the reason I've gotten back into reading comics a lot more. I just want a Superman like the current comics, or the DCAU, hell, I'd settle for one like Justice League: War. I think Cavill could be a great Superman, but as he is now, it feels like Earth One, which felt boring as hell and not really entertaining in my eyes.
But really, I think I want a Superman that feels inspirational.

Except I do enjoy him alot. I like Superman tas as much as it's Batman counterpart & I am hold the main Rebirth Superman book as my favorite comic I am currently reading easily (I am reading 15 or so series currently)

There is nothing immature about wanting a serious take on the character to contrast previous versions just like Nolan contrasted Batman & Robin.
>>
>>93326361

Both became murderous dictators when Lois died.

Snyderman looks even more emotionally unstable with the fact that he was middle aged and had no friends, girlfriend or carreer until the start of the movie, while also having hallucinations of his dead dad that killed himself in front of him.

tfw Chris Nolan said in camera that he was actually trying to emulate the realism that the Reeves films made, right at Richard Donner himself

Just because the Donner movies were much more coy and generally had a sense of humor, doesn't mean it wasn't realistic.

Frankly, these attempts to be "realistic" and "serious" is half the reason why it turns out to be more childish than the source material

Nigga, you are patethic. I'm 100% sure that I read more comics than you but I won't superglue things out like an autist like you are doing. Injustice is atual and from a suceful comic and game, to not day that "Lois dying triggering evil Supes" is very similar.

No, but his general attitude is. Pa Kent in this setting was not an optimistic and uplifting role model for Clark (that role is filled by Jor-El's hologram). He's also the reason why Clark got such a late start when it came to using his abilities, leaving him in a very rusty state when the Earth was invaded and finally needed them.
>>

I'm am not arguing he couldn't control the direction of the flight (altho once he got going I don't think he could stop himself fast enough to avoid the buildings even if he saw them) I am arguing that in his completely justified rageful state of mind & looking straight down most of the flight it never entered his mind to take note of were he was headed. His only mental intention was to get Zod as far away from Martha as fast as possible & nothing else.

A possible injustice type future still doesn't equal his main time frame personality to have anything in common with Injustice because he absolutely does not.

>>
>>93326632
>No, but his general attitude is.
His general attitude is a direct result of the cynical world he lives in. He can't be open about his powers because the world either deifies him or demonizes him. He can't do a good deed without being punished for it. That's not on Pa Kent. Pa knew what the world was like and tried to protect Clark from it. But he also knew that Clark was destined for great things despite all the darkness of the world. In the end, Clark still rose to the occasion.

Seeing as how Wonder Woman was a success, and with Johns as executive producer, expect a huge tonal shift for Big Blue. There's no way he's gonna let Supes get sidelined. Not happening.

I like Supes in the DCEU, and as many anons in this thread alone have pointed out, people like to misrepresent him a lot.

It's strange because HAVE the Superman you want, but choose to make up falsehoods.

whoops

Superman has always been my favorite hero, and I love the DCEU's take on him. We've had sunny and immediately accepted Superman over the years, it's refreshing to see a different take that stays true to the hopefulness of the character.

Smiling and being happy all the time does not equal hope. If that was the case, then Joker is the most hopeful person in the world. Hope is when you see and believe in the positive when there is negative around. You can be depressed, sad, and feel down but still have hope. People, even heroes, lose hope. They get jaded, they get tired, they might think about giving up because life can really fucking suck sometimes. The world can be a dark and cruel place, and sometimes it gets you. What's important, however, is standing up again for what you believe in.

Superman in the films ultimately believed in mankind, hence his turning himself over to the government to save the earth, attending a trial to get a different perspective, taking the nuke. etc. Even though he was being shat on constantly, he always did the right thing.

Amazing, so amazing. Now that you realise you can't defend Snyderman you start attacking those disagreeing.

It's just a pity it doesn't work, because we have Wonder Woman. By your argument we should hate her just as much if not more. But since we actually like her film, that ruins your narrative.

It just takes some writers actually understanding Superman and not projecting shallow-normieness on him. What I mean by that is that people view Superman from a narrow lense where they project too much human flaws on someone who's explicitly not human. They think if THEY had the power he had, they'd be violent assholes... So they write Superman like that.

Without realizing maybe Superman is different. He's not human. He has no human flaws. Maybe Krytopian instinct/genetic instinct makes him feel more attached to having a strict moral good and following it. Maybe Superman ENJOYS helping people. Maybe it makes him feel in control of himself to find ways to uses his powers to stop people without just killing them.

They don't think about Kal like that. That's the problem.

>>93324630

This makes me feel pretty sad and it's one of the reasons one of my life goals is too write the Superman/Action Comics book. To bring Superman back from this. To give him purpose and place in the DC universe and I would say the culture at large but honestly that's up to the culture and I'm not going to write for normies sake, but for the sake of the fans actually reading comics and the characters who will outlive us all.

Superman doesn't deserve this.

I like the culture has lost faith in Superman because like I said above, they've lost all faith in someone being moral and upstanding to begin with. They don't feel comfortable with someone who just tries to be good all the time and doesn't indulge in hedonistic assholish behavior.

You seem to have constructed this odd strawman were anyone that hates Snyder's bitch ass Clark is thinking only of Reeve.

I'd prefer Superboy and the Legion. I'd prefer the bits in Smallville where Jonathan is actually supportive and teaches Clark how to control his powers.

I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy of people bitching and whining about MoS Clark being a hobo for a decade supposedly doing nothing (even though he's shown to have been saving people anonymously all that time) but nobody says a peep about Donner Clark spending a decade being a fucking NEET in the Arctic.

>Donner Clark

Just entering this conversation, but you seem to think that these are the two only versions. Say what you will about Superman Returns, but ONE nice thing about it was that it didn't need to rehash the origin story one more time. IT probably is one of THE best known origin stories, not just in the broad details but in the little ones. The only thing we got was more in the sense of brief recollections that any person might have when they are back home or back at a former workplace, etc.

The flight scene in MoS was something that was managed well, so I don't have an issue with it. As with the other anon, I think some of Jonathan (and or Martha, as with the 'think of my voice') helping Clark with his powers growing up would be good. Either that, or they should have gone with he doesn't develop his powers until adult hood.

>>93329325

A. Normies or casuals aren't going to become fans unless you give them entry points. One thing I do think DC does well is they have an excellent line of Capstone readers for kids, plus the Lego DC Superhero graphic novels for kids, and the family friendly DVDs.

They really need something like JL/JLU and the DCAU - and while there's a lot to like in Justice League Action, it's a middling product, a B-/C+ greatest remix tribute band type creation.

I don't think the anon you're responding to is correct. The shield is one of the common things I see in public and I've lived in three of the largest cities in the USA and taken public transportation in all of them and it's a tattoo, backpack, sticker, tee shirt, cap, etc. that I see more commonly than any other.

Supes has had good comics for quite a while now and a fair swath of them have perfectly captured what's great about the character. Writing a good Superman comic isn't going to revitalize the character in culture at large because comics don't matter to culture at large, just the movies.

He might, but he isn't going to be the greatest hero of Earth anymore. He gave up that spot by now, and is now similar to the Hulk in being a grave threat himself and be mind-controlled by enemies. He will be living in his crystal fortress of literal solitude and only get called out when Batman and Wonderwoman wanted him to crack some heads.

No, it's just a far less interesting story. Having the powerful guy beat the less powerful one with ease is not an engaging story. It's much more interesting to see how someone who should lose by all logic, ends up winning.

While it's not among my favorite comics by any measure, I was ok with Earth One. The main problem with DCEU Superman is that he acts like Earth One Superman, but that one was in his late teens, just coming out of highschool. DCEU was fucking 33 and still behaving like an angsty teenager.
I think the reason why so many autists from /tv/ like Snyder's Superman is because it makes it seem like being a NEET with a complete lack of maturity look ok, and gives them hope that some day something will come out from the sky and give them a purpose.

Yeah, it's a story that's been done to death by now, but it's always more interesting to see the underdog at least land a few punches.
The biggest fuckup of the movie was stretching the conflict for so long, when we all knew it was gonna end in a fight but they would get together to take Luthor down.
I think what the movie needed the most was a more clear plan from Luthor, mostly the Doomsday backup plan that came out from nowhere, and people who aren't familiar with Doomsday (probably about 90% of the audience) just didn't understand what the fuck was going on (and it doesn't really make that much sense for those of us who knew anyway), and more of Superman and Batman working together.
I think the best thing would've been WW being the one bringing them together, thus already foreshadowing her role as embassador and diplomat, and her ability of getting out the best from people. Something like that could've been a proper setup for a future Justice League.

He's only being phased out because hacks get a hold of him and try to reinvent him and lose sight of the charm and draw of the character.

The "kino" bullshit works for Batman because he's a grimdark edgy faggot and will probably never be good again, but people watch him FOR that. People don't watch Superman to see him twist people's heads off for funsies, or to destroy the places he's supposed to protect, he's supposed to be a classic hero. Not some emoboy faggot brooding in a batcave about his dead parents. He's an optimist, he's liek batman's antithesis, but no one seems to remember that.

Kal isn't flawless, but he's also not an exemplar of a person because he's alien. He's that friend you had, or that man you know from work, who has this unwavering faith in the world. The kind of guy who smiles all the time, and picks himself off the ground and laughs at his own misfortune, you know these kinds of people. He's what happens when the best kind of person in this world, gets near godlike powers, That's who he is, peolpe like Lex are those of us who are skeptical of that sort of person, and with good reason to since those people always seem the most wll adjusted and put together, and so they MUST be hiding something.

The problem here, like you said, is that we have a bunch of Lex Luthors writing for someone that they don't even believe is real.

I don't think movie supes can be saved, i could go on a big ass rant about how movie writers will never be on the same level as comic book and animation writers, but i'll just say i once had a teacher who actually worked for apparently important movies, and like every normie he saw superman as a boring character, i tried my best to tell him about good superman stories but it was useless he had a big ego and the entire class on his side

My entry point was watching teen supes in the legion as a kid that told me superman is a good guy who will use his powers for good, and sure then i watched others cartoons were superman had to deal with way biger dillemas but when i watched them i always knew that superman would find a way to do things the right way

meanwhile normies of this generation saw superman for like 5 minutes before they trew a bunch of religious symbolism to their faces. second movie gets even worse with the "false god" statue and bats the hero normies consider "realistic"

No wonder they don't like supes to them he seems like the big bad authority istead of just a guy who likes to help people

People are retarded, especially those people. They parrot whatever people who they think are smarter than them say.

You can still have a "boy scout" be an interesting person, you can have them go through struggles, you can even have them kill Zod. But it doesn't work if it's not done right.

Rumor for JL is that Steppenwolf is going to resurrect him and then he's going to willfully CHOOSE to be evil because Steppenwolf shows him some fake visions of Batman saving himself and leaving Lois to die.

Disagree. Humanity makes him likeable and fun to watch. There are more ways to show humanity then depression and murder.

My favorite live action version of Supes was on 'Lois and Clark'. He pranked people, he jumped to conclusions, pretended to be drugged so he could kiss Lois, He was frustrated by Superman merchandising and he struggled with whether or not to let Lois have her way with him while she was drugged. He was still a great guy and a capable hero. He was also likable and fun to watch when he wasn't punching people.

Excuse me, but she never got called Wonder Woman in the movie, now did she? Nor did she become a public hero.

MoS is Clark's first day on the job. BvS is him getting used to being a public hero and a figure of controversy, ultimately winning the public's trust as well as becoming an inspirational figure to Diana and Bruce.

Series of unfortunate events

First off, MoS was rushed into existence only because WB didn't want to risk losing the rights to Superman, so they just quickly got together a team of people under their wing and tried to base the movie on the success of Nolan's Batman

This team consisted of a writer that jokes about how comics nerds are virgins, and a director that openly explained he didn't care about capes until he noticed a certain amount of blood and cocks in Watchmen, and even then his knowledge of the genre seems dubious at best since he for example parrots around that TDKR's Batman is a serial killer, and then there was Nolan, which was probably the only sane person in the room.

But it's not like such a misstep was a first timer for WB. Problem is, the MCU and cinematic universes meme were getting big, so instead of ignoring the fuckup like they did with Green Lantern they decided the DCEU had to become a thing, so they didn't waste money on finding new people and ideas and just used Snyder and co. again, minus Nolan

And using MoS as the foundation was inevitably going to be a problem. You try explain why Batman or any hero didn't show up defending the world from an alien invasion that had a GLOBAL 24 HOURS WARNING beforehand. Hell, these movies don't even try to explain it, Bruce just shows up in his business suit and Jenkins is trying to make us forget that Diana sat on her ass avoiding humans for a century

So there you have BvS, a movie driven by the will to build this damn DCEU as soon as possible and by Goyer's and Snyder's desire of "subverting" expectations... which in their language translates in Superman's pal becoming a CIA agent only to eat a bullet for no good reason and such things

Suicide Squad was hurt by scared producers and a director that also had a foggy, quite literally alternative vision, i don't think anyone would argue it was as much of a mess as BvS

One last point in the next post...

...WW shacking off all of this problems is the proof that BvS was just flawed because of the situation and weird "artistic" direction. Hell, even MoS wasn't that bad despite it's problems, as wasn't SS as i already said, BvS is literally the black sheep of this cinematic universe, the incestuous product of greedy/dumb producers + misguided creators, nothing will ever be as bad I'm sure

There was nothing silly about that, it's perfectly reasonable the world engine would have a built in defensive system and that being a extension of the Nanites that form their computer computers was a great bit of world building.

>>
>>93324517
What I don't understand is how movies seem to think they need to reinvent Superman, He's a fantastic character on just what he used to be, He used to be the happiness that came after a disaster, the idea that there's always hope for everything and everyone, a walking metaphor on the idea that hope is humanity's greatest weapon against chaos and fear. He supposed to be Americas perfect son, raised by good american farmers and even in the face of pure armageddon he smiles just to ensure those around him that everything will be okay, even if hes not sure himself.

But in MoS and BvS hes girmdark and questionable, Hes constantly frowning while he keeps talking about wether or not he should be a hero, Pa and Ma Kent on his back about not being a hero too, Pa killing himself just to prove a goddamn point is retarded and then his ghost coming back to tell him again not to save people is double retarded.

Just let him be superman.

I haven't been a fan either, but Cereal Lord has spoken. Say what you will about GL, but he didn't have the authority with that that he had with Wonder Woman, and I doubted his insistence towards its quality up until the first time I saw it.

I don't know man.

I think one positive thing we can all take away from all this is, no matter how jaded audiences are compared to those of Reeves' times, the general reaction to these films demonstrates that they're not yet callous enough to accept this violent, moody, objectivist take on Superman.

If WB wants him to work, they essentially have to ignore everything Snyder has done with him. He needs to come back as a completely different character.

>>93338195
I'm a pretty big Snyderfag, Wondy was enjoyable, I'm super happy for it's success. It's not that we're forced to do anything in regard to wondy, it's that everyone took Wondy being good as a second chance to kick a man while he's down and shit on BvS. A man that since being put down a year and a half ago has also lost a daughter.

Wondy is good. Not great. Good. And I liked it. I'll probably even buy it on BR to complete my trinity trilogy. But it isn't resoundingly better than MOS or BvS.

The comparisons are there for many other reasons but I think it's comparable to Cap1 in terms of quality. The first half was better than the second and the final third was a bit of a mess. I think Cap had a stronger ending in the way it killed it's Steve but I think Wondy had a more compelling "boss" fight.

The thing is, I like the heavy hand Snyder has. I like the imagery and I like the visuals. I like the choreography of having Wondy sliding around the background and through the shot of Clark and Bruce when they first meet. I love the crooked halo in that scene. I love almost every image a Snyderfag will post.

Patty gave Wondy heart. Some of the writing was garbage and cliche but it wasn't autistically soulless like some of the writing in BvS was. The problem is Wondy looked terrible in some of those fights. Particularly when clearing the city. She bounced around like a pinball and looked like a PS1 game. And the weighting and speed was completely off. Every movement felt like when Bow Wow was dunking in Like Mike.

Snyder clearly had influence on the beach fight with the amazons. It was almost exactly shots and scenes and choreography clipped from a 300. The bitch using the shield was literally fassbender.

But the rest were garbage.

I think Snyder, if kept in a directing role, needs to cede command of "human" scenes to someone who can convey emotion and heart. Gal is a terrible actress, I freely admit it, but Patty found a way to make her work.

It had nothing interesting to say about these characters or new avenues to deconstruct these heroes. The notion that a deconstruction is inherently more worthwhile then a straightforward superhero story is childish faux-intellectualism disguised as enlightenment.

Of course she said that it was a bad idea that they were doing it but we can ignore that part or flat out deny it happened to suit the argument.

Wow Snyder, really breaking new ground with he same message repeated by every hack who read Watchmen and thought they should repeat it but worse.

Because if you liked Snyder's take and want to see more you're literally berated for that view. And it comes from literally every single fucking angle. Fuckin GiTS reviews mentioned BvS because they wanted to compare bombs which isn't even applicable because one of them made 800 million dollars.

if it wasn't some cardinal sin to like MoS and BvS it wouldn't be such a fucking problem. But when you like something, and are actually hyped for more, but are being told you are retarded or that your cancer it draws a response.

Especially when company wars were a problem before the movie shit started. Then Disney faggots just kept up with the Evans posting and acting as if the MCU was their first born.

I actually think that's VERY likely. SG on TV seems to be doing well enough and part of why people love WW is cause she's optimistic and actually gives a shit about people ... which I assume would be the natural way to bring in SG as the noob hero to things.

But knowing Zack she could be a depressing Goth who ironically wears a Japaneses school girl uniform.

>The comparisons are there for many other reasons but I think it's comparable to Cap1 in terms of quality. The first half was better than the second and the final third was a bit of a mess.

I agree. I consider this to be about significantly better than anything Snyder has directed, though.

>Snyder clearly had influence on the beach fight with the amazons.

Yeah, and it was one of the weakest parts of the film. All the action scenes save the one where Diana pushes over the top of the trenches were weak. That slow-fast-slow-fast shit in the beach fight was cringey as fuck, I didn't think anyone still did that anymore/

Exactly why people ree around here.

So lets get this straight we should stop talking about something we like because people will shitpost about it?

Blow your brains out faggot.

>Just fucking step back for a second and look at what you've become.
Say the people that can't accept that others like a movie so they have to viciously bait and meme about it for just as long. Yeah, it's insecure to defend it still. I have no problem admitting it. And I've stated why above. The problem is you people don't see any parallel with being so obsessed with hating the movie that you are still shitposting this rabidly.

I'm defending something I like which still gets shit on to this day (like in this thread). You're making threads shitting on a movie/multiple movies you hate. And you act like you're any less pathetic than people who defend it.

Nobody posts about things they like on /co/.
That's how I know these threads are bait.
If you want a safe space to talk about your movies use another platform.

Some people like the Thor movies. Plenty of people think they're shit. Nobody's making the daily defense bait threads (now that the dust has settled, I just saw this, etc) for the Thor movies. They talked about them for a couple weeks got on with their lives, and now if it comes up they say "yeah they've got problems maybe the next one will be better".

But you can't do that. You can't even hear "just drop it" without telling people to kill themselves.

I never said I wanted such. I was the one that was told to stop discussing/defending something.

if you want a safespace to shitpost about things chose another forum.

>>93342270
Kill yourself faggot. Nobody is making "So howabout that TERRIBLE THOR MOVIE" threads or "Face it, we'll never get Thor" threads.

It's beyond disingenuous, in this thread of all places, to claim that defense of the movie still pops up unwarranted.

>>93342070

Because people didn't like a film?

How fucking inane.

>Say the people that can't accept that others like a movie so they have to viciously bait and meme about it for just as long.

I'm sorry, but you brought this on yourselves. You guys could not stop evangelizing your films for a minute. You started this weird aggressive campaign of shitposting as soon as the dust settled on MoS, barging in to other threads to call everyone marveldrones and constantly reposting the same obvious "I can't accept that MoS was bad, come fite me" threads over and over and over. Your response to the poor reception was immediately vitriolic, you instantly started weaving this grand conspiracy shit about people trying to sabotage DC, about everyone being marveldrones, about other people being of lower intelligence simply because they didn't like a film.

ANY time these films are brought up, you do this. Often when they're not brought up, you do this. And people saw this and hated you for it, and now you have to just fucking deal with it and lie in the bed you shat in.

>I'm defending something I like which still gets shit on to this day (like in this thread).

This thread was CLEARLY made by someone who disliked these films and recognized the way people in general have reacted to Snyder's Superman, and is asking if he's beyond saving. Did you really, really, really think that this was the thread to go to if you wanted to hear nothing but unmitigated praise?

If you disagreed with the central premise of the thread, on which all discussion hangs, why are you here?

>>93342392
>So howabout that TERRIBLE THOR MOVIE

People have definitely made threads like this.

Frankly, though, most people just didn't consider Thor as much of a trainwreck of BvS or MoS, even if it was pretty poor. And, perhaps most importantly, LESS PEOPLE CARE ABOUT THOR.

Superman is a character a lot of people care about and want to see done well.

this, literally all of this, can be said from the complete opposite point of view.

Not really. Marvelfags seemed t accept that, say, Thor and Thor 2, were sub-par and moved on. They didn't start an insane campaign to shove Thor in everyone's faces at all times in years to come, in the vain hope that this would change everyone's mind somehow.

>If you want a safe space to talk shit about a movie why are you here?

People genuinely were not talking shit until the DCEU defense force arrived to try to convince everyone that the films were perfect. The thread was made to evaluate whether making Superman popular with regular folks as part of the DCEU was still possible. Critiquing and discussing =/= talking shit. Only a slavish company loyalist like yourself conflates the two, because your insecure hurt fee fees have robbed you of critical thinking.

Notice that all the immediately angry, shitposty responses are from DCEUfags telling the OP to kill themselves or that the DCEU is 'kino'.

Once again, you ruined all possible discussion with your overzealous garbagespeak.

Give Patty Jenkins a shot at doing Superman or Supergirl. She did really well with Wonder Woman.

Guys you need to learn how to read or maybe I didn't spell it out enough. I said, explicitly he has no HUMAN flaws, not that he was flawless.

In context, repeating myself here, that statement is countering where writers and normies project their own basic human thinking onto someone who's not even human. "If I was Superman, I'd just kill people all the time, he's boring because he doesn't do that!" -- that's the sentiment saying "he doesn't have human flaws" is going against.

Morrison goes into this in All-Star Superman when Lex gets his powers and then he gets the AWARENESS Superman gained through those powers. Why he feels so much, so much than we're capable of so he has a different way of looking at world, one that's entirely unique to him because he's entirely a unique creature.

Superman doesn't have human flaws. He has Superman flaws.

>hurr I can't argue with all this logic so imma just insult you

Yep, companywars faggotry at its tip toppest.

Anyway, he's right.

The people that derailed this thread were DCEU fans coming in to throw shit at the slightest suggestion that something may not have worked in BvS and MoS.

The thread wasn't even about those movies being bad. It was about how the general public have not taken the Cavill's Superman and whether this can be turned around. You are the only person lacking any kind of awareness here.
>>
>>93339626

>As a general query, which writer or which run of Superman do you think ought to be turned into a movie

I don't think any one writer needs to be used more than the others. But off the top of my head I'd say Grant Morrison's All-Star Superman needs to be looked at/adapted more. Just because it shows WHY Superman acts like he acts and does what he does.

>>93330368

Yeah and I literally said I don't care about the culture as large soo... Not for sure where you're getting that from.

>>93330284

>They really need something like JL/JLU and the DCAU - and while there's a lot to like in Justice League Action, it's a middling product, a B-/C+ greatest remix tribute band type creation.

I want to revitilize JLU. I'm kind of writing for it now.
