Why did so many not like him as Ozymandias? I thought the role

I don't think he did a bad job with what he was given. I think he was just given shit to work with because Snyder had no idea how to approach material with actual depth and nuance to it.

I love this movie and everything about it but the general consensus seems to be that if you read the graphic novel it makes the movie look like shit. I've never read it before only watched the movie and I thought it was the best comic book movie I've ever watched. I'm assuming the people that didn't like it must of read the comic and were expecting something else.

literally a gay twink who looks like came from an anime about edgy evil teenagers

Yeah he was way too obviously evil instead of being morally ambiguous. They didn't really touch on his background either.

no, the movie is garbage by its own regards too, and it also have the worst sex scene in movie story, the cringiest use of the directors mp3 ever etc etc

Remember how, in the comic, Ozymandias yelling "I DID IT!" in front of that wall of TV screens took up an entire page? How his triumph and joy was evident in this uncharacteristic emotional outburst? Compare that to the weak, mumbling delivery of that line in the film. That's why he was a bad pick.

That's kinda what Ozymandias was in the comic. An athletic german homo in peak physical and mental condition.

Michael Fassbender's magneto is how Ozymandias should've been

He's not an obvious creepy weirdo in the comic. That's the point.

those things work in literature but not actually acted out IRL, they look retarded when done in live action, no one actually acts that way

That's likely the director's choice.

The comic depicted him as a silver-age comic book hero with the whole boy scout/good guy motif before ultimately showing how truly dangerous he was. I imagined someone like Aaron Eckhart would have fit the role great.
