So is the DCEU in full on retcon mode now?

which they didn't even bother to show why he would have garnered either of those things in the first movie and in the second movie they finally got around to showing him actually save people and he was still fucking mopey about it.

Realistically the people of Metropolis would hate him for destroying half their city after the military saved the day by have Law and Order SVU fly into the giant space dildo.

I don't know why this is so hard for 4chan to understand. Nobody goes to a superhero movie to be reminded that life sucks, nice guys finish last, and humanity is full of assholes that aren't wroth saving. No matter how much you crow about how that's more realistic, it's not what people want.

Superman's presence led to Zod's invasion. And then the technology and Zod's ship led to Doomsday and the Darkseid invasion. At this point humanity is justified in hating space aliens and wanting them off the planet, Superman is no hero, he's a fraud.

Being this delusional.

We always hear how many youtube views Marvel films get, but that doesn't necessarily mean they'll open huge. Plus, DCEU films average opening is 130 million and gross in North America is 333 million.

Justice League will open to 150 million and make close to 400 million if it's even mediocre.

>So is the DCEU in full on retcon mode now?
No Batman was Redeemed because of him and Diana was brought into the public.
That counts as people returning to their greatest self as does Perry & Lombard willing to stay and die to save Jenny.

>>94108055
> finally got around to showing him actually save people
He saved billions of lives twice in Mos.
>Realistically the people of Metropolis would hate him for destroying half their city after the military saved the day
1 - He saved the day 1st by destroying the world engine, the Military only took out the secondary threat of the Kryptonian crew.
2 - Only 2 buildings fully fell during his 1 on 1 fight with Zod, that is factually not half the fucking city.

>>94108977
Not being appealing to mass audiences doesn't make it a incompetently made film.

>>94108978
>>batman feels ashamed of being an edgy murderer because their mom's shared the same name
No because he realized that Clark wasn't a alien god toying with us and that he actually had human connections and used what was to be his dying breath pleading for their safety.
>>Superman dies despite the fact that Diana could have easily used the spear to kill Doomsday
No her and the lasso was the only thing restraining DD and Clark taking it to her would have made him a fucking pathetic coward.

>>94109846
Thor 3 doesn't have the awful earth bound dreck that ruined the 1st 2 films dumbass.

>>94110332
Because the point Snyder was making was that regardless of the majority of the world being inspired by him as he stated when Bruce talked shit about Superman in the Gala, the people still fearing and being critical of him was weighing heavy on Clark.

If it was up to me, they'd reboot and recast literally everyone because there's barely anything worth saving.

But that'll never happen because Tsujihara's career as WB ceo is entirely banking on the DCEU. Why do you think all these movies were rushed into production before they were remotely ready?

Those aren't superhero movies.
I literally said "nobody goes to SUPERHERO MOVIES" for that. You even quoted me and you still managed to autism your way into missing that.
Zombie shit is all about "humans are the real monsters'. Superhero stuff is not. Stop trying to make everything homogeneous you enormous faggot.
>>
>>94111273
>Not being appealing to mass audiences doesn't make it a incompetently made film.
Being competently made was not the question. The question was "why don't people like this."
But you're moving the goalposts rather than admit you like a niche thing that was never meant to be niche in the first place. Which *is* a problem to those that are not autistic try hard 12 year olds.
>>
>>94112123
But its not half as niche as you think, Watchmen is universally loved, the 1st 2 volumes of Ultimates are also really liked, the Earth One graphic novels regardless of mixed quality have sold like crazy and they all have the same tone and style as Mos/Bvs.
>>
>>94112230
Comic books are a niche medium. The fact that it was made to resemble a comic book instead of a blockbuster featuring comic book characters is what made BvS underperform. Although I'm glad that Zack Snyder made a movie for actual comics fans, I understand that it doesn't make good business sense to only appeal to them. Thus the way to do it is to find a balance that will appeal to both comic fans and casuals, which is easier said than done. I prefer that they don't take the Marvel route and basically throw comic fans under the bus for the sake of casual appeal though.
>>
companyfag wars are fucking cancer.
>>
>>94111273
>Not being appealing to mass audiences doesn't make it a incompetently made film.

Well actually it sort of does. I mean, it's meant to be a blockbuster, right? It literally exists precisely to appeal to mass audiences and make a fuckton of money. If BvS wasn't able to do that, if it in fact turned off most of the people who saw it, then it wasn't made competently.
>>
>>94111273
>the people still fearing and being critical of him was weighing heavy on Clark
Clark "I don't care what they think" Kent? We watch the same movie? He makes no fucking attempt to communicate for two years beyond saving people from disasters. What the fuck did he expect?

DCCU made a Superman that doesn't talk and a world where everyone sees him as a god and treats him as if he is one. Nobody has been shown to see him as a good role model, just as an icon.
>>
>>94108851

>>

This is the problem with the movies, a death cult is not the same as instilling hope in people but I'm expected to believe it is.

Nope - just pretending a certain tone and characterization wasn't used.
>>
>>94111133
Now see I actually dug Thor 1 because it had it's own style and Branagh did a good job directing, dutch angles and all, but Thor 2?

Yeah I fucking refuse to believe RT score for that because there are other non-MCU films that have a lower score and I actually felt that they were stronger than Thor 2.

How does Superman dying erase all of Batman's murder charges?

>>94110439
>Superman's presence led to Zod's invasion.
This meme never made any fucking sense to me.

The dude lives here. If someone shipped the prince of a country to live in the suburbs in America in order to hide from the people who overthrew his family is it suddenly his fault if, totally unaware of this backstory, assassins hunt him down and kill his foster family? He didn't tell the assassins to come here, he didn't put guns to anyones head or pull any triggers. Dude just grew up and was trying to figure out how to live a normal life and then this shit happened.
>>
>>94107680
The problem with the whole "OMG HE INSPIRED PEOPLE" is that the films never really made that apparent. In fact, the films have failed to give Clark Kent any kind of arc at all.

He spends the first movie wandering around being sad until suddenly he's a superhero, and then villains show up, and then he fights them, and then it's over. He never is faced with choices or makes any decisions that further his character, he's just there and stuff happens to him.

The second movie, he spends being sad that people don't like him or think he's god. Again, he makes no big decisions that develop his character. The film doesn't even build up to his death being the resolution of any kind of theme that was being played with, it just happens because he died in the comics I guess and also Snyder wanted him out of the way so that Batman could found the League.

Throughout the series, Superman is a dull, static character with no real arc, and then suddenly, now that he's dead, characters spout lines that imply that his life meant something that was never demonstrated in any of the films.

This series has no idea how to build up themes. It just has characters tell us what we're supposed to feel about these characters, regardless of whether or not it's justified.

Batman kind of has an arc, but even then, it's dumb (I'm mad about Superman; Wait, actually he's a good guy and I was wrong because Martha. I'm going to fight in his honour now.)

Wonder Woman is the only film so far that actually knew how to do character arcs and build theme. That movie was so tight and focused, every scene and moment having a purpose and functioning to hold the film together, that it reminded me of tight cape films of the past, like Spider-Man 2 and The Dark Knight, before franchise building and set-ups became more important than a cohesive story.
>>
>>94116975

>Y'know what I love? How every time Superman kills someone, gets convinced (not brainwashed or controlled) that someone needs to be killed, that he always makes it Lois Lane's fault.

>"I WOULDN'T HAVE KILLED THAT DESERT WARLORD IF YOU WOULD JUST FUCKING STAY PUT LOIS LANE! NOW I'VE KILLED AGAIN! THIS IS ON YOU! Okay, okay bitch, I got a little out of control for a moment, you know how I am, you know how you make me sometimes, I just get so angry, hey, you know what would calm me down, awkward dead eye bathtub sex. Get in the bathtub Lois. You're saving the world from me Lois."

Like, if I was the president of the United States, I would have a SEAL team just following around Lois Lane at all times, keeping her safe, because if she stubs her toe, Supeman has to kill all life. ALL LIFE. YOU SHOULD HAVE PROTECTED HER! NOW I HAVE TO KILL YOU!

If BvS was a comic it would be a shitty comic that it would be in a storytime of pain. Every thee that it tried to go for, was done better on previous comics.

Snyder and Goyer are just too incompetent.
