I think white men went pretty far out of their way to bomb brown people, not help them.

The movie is like looking into a fucking mirror of reality between all that and of course the way the media controls the narrative.

>Lex Luthor literally orchestrates fake news in order to make Superman look bad
Really makes me think.

It hit too close to home that's why plebs hated it

It's always darkest before the dawn. And freedom hasn't dawned over there yet.

>>83660240
You just described 2016.

>>83665530
And I mean that in the best way possible. It's kind of amazing.

Anyone else notice that Lex was fake news before fake news?

>>83663434
Every capeshitter is a pleb, you included.

>>83665579
Fake news isn't something Donald Trump coined if that's you believe

>>83665732
I know. I'm talking about the practice of only using truth to sell your lies.

>>83660240
As a Arab this hits pretty close to home

>>83665828

in engrish please, cryptic is not my mother tongue

>>83665902
Lex holds all the cards the entire movie. He knows everyone's secrets, but the only time he ever tells the truth is to convince people he's not lying about everything else. The only time he's absolutely honest is when he tells people what he wants from them.

>>83660196
No.

If Superman actually existed in the real world you can be absolutely, positively sure that the U.S. would stop at nothing and spare no expense to aquire a weapon capable of killing Superman or any other Kryptonian.

If you think otherwise you are either an utterly and completely naive child or a foregner that has no idea of how America works.

It's a fucking masterpiece.

>the 21st century american zeitgeist
you havin a giggle?

>>83666394
No, you are wrong, they would find a way to CONTROL Superman.

>>83666877
You are correct. What else do people think Task Force X was really for?

>>83660196
Nope.

>>83660196
i wish BvS threads were bannable

>>83668582
Think of them as DCEU generals if it helps. That's pretty much what they are, A lot of the story will feed back into the discussion we get into about MoS and BvS.

A lot of us are going to be trying like hell not to just spam "TOLD YOU SO" repeatedly in every thread after JL.
