>hates when a movie is too marvel
>likes when a movie goes full marvel

they are both very detrimental movies for western values

>>84775721
Definitely Wonder Woman, however Spidey was surprisingly good considering all variables.

Wonder women is another propganda femminist agenda film thats why all reviewers are shilling for it.

Snyders vision of a blue and teal alternate reality where people call someone a hero for destroying a city and easily murdering tens of thousands of people. And another hero that kills all his foes who don't have a mother named Martha.

Seriously dark and homicidal makes sense when you are talking about Rorschach and the Watchmen, but not when you are talking about the guy who wears a costume with a symbol of "hope".

before he was Superman

Everything with Zod could've easily been stopped or made a million times less destructive than it was. I mean it is a terraforming device, why not just tell Zod to terraform Mars or Venus? Why didn't he just keep fighting Zod? Why did he kill Zod when he could've just turned his head away from the people or put is hind in front of Zods eye lasers? Superman can't die from atmoic bombs? Why did he self sacrifice when Batman or Wonder Woman could've easily done the same thing?

Every time he saves people he does it as a token act and Snyder wants us to believe that it is his burden to save us, when the real Superman acts like a hero because that is what he is. The real Superman is not some brooding asshole that acts like every 2edgy4me 15 year old.

>>84775721
I boycotted Disney after they ruined Star Wars

>>84776641

fair points.

however to you there in only one version of the character allowed EVER. No room for other types of interpretations.

As perry clearly states this isn't 1939 anymore Kent.

Snyder wanted a more grounded real world consequences superman story.

Is it the perfect superman we grew up with? No.

Is it my perffered take on him? No.

But I still respect and enjoy what snyder does with him cause I'm not autistic enough to reeeeeee
everytime a character does not match with my head canon.

>>84776284
What is to get, BvS has all the complexity of Transformers 2, except with "superheros" who are "superheros" for no other reason other than what they are called in the movie.

>>84775813
Second this.

Homecoming was pretty good, but it only ever touched my heartstrings once. Wonder Woman managed to do so a few times and do it effortlessly.

Homecoming is more "fun," but Wonder Woman was more heartfelt and left a lot more of an impression on me.

>>84775721
Both were garbage.

>>84776748

How does it feel to be a dumb marvel fan? I can't blame you. None of their films have any depths so you aint used to spotting it.

Here is a brief glimpse:

>>84775721
Please dont end in a tie

Man spider was better. i don't understand the praise for Wonder Woman, a lot of characters and revelations were under cooked as fuck

I really though Homecoming was awful. Thor 2 was better than it. WW on the other hand was pretty damn good

>>84775721
Wonder Woman, by f>>84775721
far.

>>84776736
But there is nothing grounded about Superman in the Snyder movies. No sane person would call him a Superhero because every major bad thing that happens is a direct result of Superman just being on Earth. If Superman just pulled a Dr. Manhattan and flew off to Mars Metropolis wouldn't have been destroyed twice.

The reason why Nolan's realistic Batman worked is because he did do things that were genuinely heroic, and when things went bad it was a direct result of the villain just being a fucking psychopath that wanted to kill people regardless of Batman being there or not. Ra's al Ghul was bent on destroying Gotham before Batman, and Batman stopped him. The Joker was bent of destroying Gotham before Batman, and Batman stopped him. Bane and Talia were bent on destroying Gotham and taking revenge on Batman, and Batman stopped him. And every time Batman saved the city it was contained to the Bat Mobile, police cars, or the bad guys cars, the one time it wasn't Batman already had a plan to reverse the effects of the poison gas.

>>84776799
Zack Snyder was always quite good about his shots, I will not argue that. The writing was shit tho and when your script is shit, your movie is shit.

>>84776959

>Thor 2
>better than it

How much do you get paid to shill?

Otherwise if you are doing this for free then i feel sorry for you.

Wonder Woman wasn't anything groundbreaking but it was better than spidey by a mile

>>84777025
Nah, I feel like I've woken up in a world where everyone has been brainwashed. A few years ago no one would have said this was a good movie. Now everyone is acting like it's the best thing ever. It wasn't Spiderman. It was just awful

>>84776799
1. I have never mentioned Marvel

2. Literally this video proves the exact opposite of what you are trying to prove. Snyder rather than trying to make his own memorable moments and scenes in a way that Kubrick, or Wells did, just stole their shots. And stop posting shit with the Fibonacci spiral super imposed over it. That is not clever and it is not a real thing, stop pretending that it is. They aren't even clever metaphors and foreshadowing, they are as obvious and transparent as the same who shot them. Any fucking shots can look artistic when you edit them together right, just look at the idiotic Star Wars ring theory. Basically, Snyder is to drama what Seth MacFarlane is to comedy. The two of them just constantly reference other peoples work.

>>84776641
This is the most retarded shit I've seen from Marveldrones yet.

>b-but just turn his head away

>>84777229
It was not a deconstruction of the Superhero genre in the first place. If anything that would be movies like the Watchmen, Deadpool, or Super.

>>84777331
Snyder made the 9/11 scene with complete coherence with the final fight of MoS, while those hacks Disney hires for the MCU movies can't keep consistency in scenes about two guys throwing punches at each other. Like every other good he references other directors but visually Snyder has always been great and has his own visual style, that's why he's praised by everyone in the industry and shat on by mcu shills like you on taiwanese scuba diving forums

That is something you wrote. Which I assume sincerely. Now read again what you wrote. If you can't find anything wrong with it, then my point stands. You should kill yourself.

>>84777673
You see he's clearly trying to turn his head away but unable. It's literally in the film five seconds prior to his killing.

http://screenrant.com/james-cameron-zack-snyder-movies/

If it doesn't fell new or fresh is because people are copying his style. The last Kong movie looked just like Snyder and the new Thor flick had a scene in the trailer that Snyder could sue them for. Modern CBMs are defined by Raimi, Nolan and Snyder

>>84777700
Nolan's Batman was a good hero and he didn't endlessly act like a brooding asshole, he was a hero because he liked protecting his city.

>>84777702
I do, you clearly don't.

You're right. Cameron's word matters less than some Kevin Feige shill on 4chan who pretends he's consuming anything but bottom-of-the-barrel garbage that makes an average TV show look cinematic in comparison. You are an embarrassment.

>>84777418
I'd argue that his DCEU films are a deconstruction of a different sort: a tonal deconstruction leading into a rebuilding.

Man of Steel is essentially a comic-book hero set in a deconstructed, Nolan-eque sort of setting. BvS is the transition from that grittier, "magic-less," "real" world back into a more mythic, comic-book environment, and I'm betting that Justice League is the culmination of that transition.

And all of it happening courtesy of the coming of the Superman, the first superhero. Essentially it's meta-commentary on comics history, its pulp hero forerunners, and the myths that inspired them both.

Clark: superhero
Bruce: pulp hero
Diana: mythic hero

>even if he acts like a hero and saves the world it's not a hero unless he smiles and makes poop jokes
Are marvelbros getting, dare I say it, dumber by the week?

>>84778051
>Every time he saves people he does it as a token act

DC has to many shills, both are good but Spider-man was way more fun.

>>84778029
He said it was the real version which is even worse

Probably SM Homecoming. I'd barely give both a 3/5 anyways.

>>84778149
Superman not smilling is like Batman making jokes.

>>84778202
He wanted to give Zod the chance to back out. He literally begs and screams to Zod not to do it. Upon realizing there is no stopping him, that it's either his death or the death of all of mankind, Superman makes his choice, bloodening his hands to preserve others.

You might not have understood that, doesn't mean the film didn't show that.

Again I have never once mentioned the Marvel movies. You keep trying to build this narrative that I am a Marvel shill just because I criticize the DC movies, despite the fact I have complemented the earlier DC movies several times.

And you pick that scene as a symbol of bad CGI and compositing in Marvel movies when the DC movies look exactly the same, except Snyder color corrects everything that is not Kryptonite to be blue and teal. I mean Doomsday looks like he came straight out of Shrek, which is Dreamworks not Disney before you make some edgy comment.

Zod wasn't interested in "colonizing" a world. He was dead-set on resurrecting Krypton, and to do that, he needed biomass. Earth has plenty. Mars doesn't.

>"A foundation has to be built on something."

When he was denied that, he had every intention of not stopping until he'd either deprived Clark of what he felt he'd been deprived - his people. He had every intention of making good on his promise if Clark refused to give him the death he craved at that point.

>>84778332
So the opinion of the most succesful director ever is irrelevant because it hurts your feefees despite the fact that we have already proved you that Snyder not only has his own visual language but it is a language copied by others because you didn't like the design of a CGI monster

When you are dead set to criticize Snyder's work as a director but at the same time carefully navigate criticism that Marvels look like CW TV shows that at best look like C-rate Snyder copies and at the same time pretend that you are the least bit knowledgeable in filmmaking and film criticism

Why isn't he considered in the highs of the VA movement?

>>84778291
>The argument was "he was unable to turn his neck away"
>Not "but this is good characterization"

He was CLEARLY able, he snapped Zods neck. He could've held him in a headlock if he was able to do that. You weren't arguing it was some dumb characterization plot fiat moment, don't reach for a completely new perspective in an argument just because your current ones get shot to shit you cunt lol

Just gonna jump in to say that doomsday looked like the fucking cave troll from LOTR and had me in stitches in the theater, you can't defend those abhorrent special effects

>>84778517
This, Superman never does epik dance offs with Zod so he's not a true hero. Heroes can't be conflicted because heroes are inherently shit characters. Thanks anon for sharing your opinion

>>84778517
So he's conflicted about the consequences his actions yield, making him second guess himself. Does that make him, to you, a better or worse superhero? A superhero that questions himself, that doubts himself, that asks himself what the best for mankind really is. Is that worse than a superhero that quips and smiles and shows no remorse or second thought as entire cities are being destroyed while you play quip games with Whore Widow?

Nobody complains about Doomsday inside your own personal echo chamber, but in the rest of the world everyone thinks Doomsday looks like a animated booger.

>>84778642
I liked how he was continuing to evolve and "armor up" as the fight progressed.

Having watched that fight several times, I also noticed something I thought was exceedingly cool - not only is he, unlike a normal Kryptonian, absorbing all forms of incoming energy, his "electrosplosions" are proof of the whole Kryptonian aura thing. That's what's exploding outwards - his own overloaded aura discharging excess energy.

>>84778696
And you're delusional if you can't see that left is superior. And yes, Doomsday has always been that. A big messy monster that is dead set to destroy everything in its path.

>>84778583
>>84778596
I JUST FUCKING SAID THEY DON'T HAVE TO INHERENTLY QUIP AND SMILE TO BE GOOD HEROES.

Again in the Nolan Batman movies, Batman is always questioning his role as a hero in the city, THIS IS THE CENTRAL FUCKING CONFLICT OF THE SECOND MOVIE. Yet in that movie Batman never acts like a little bitch who is saving the city because it is his "destiny".

It is natural that Superman, by the implication of his presence, would stand more hesitant to his actions than Batman, who is at the end of the day a Gotham citizen in fancy armor.

>>84778849
My point is that Superman always acts like a little bitch whenever he does a heroic act, a point I have made in all of my posts. If Superman hates being a hero so much then he should just fucking stop and be Clark Kent since there are plenty of other Superheros that we already know about, who could easily do the job.

You are the blind retard that has been completely missing all of this

It isn't /pol/

It's incredible how similar they all are. They all have middling knowledge of the most mainstream works in the "nerdy" artistic mediums. Video games, anime, cartoons (especially 90s and early 00s), comic books, and movies. They also make /pol/ look more contagious than it actually is.

RDJ is a great actor, is not his fault that Marvel gave him one-liner quip and more CGI time than real acting.

Demon in the bottle would probably be greatest IM movie ever, but Disney would never have the balls to release it.

So you prefer a movie that is LITERALLY Marvel?

So the Joker didn't unleash Doomsday because of Superman?

You don't seem to even understand what heroism really is.

Also, if he's a "little bitch" all the time, why is he smiling in this scene until people go all weird and start reaching out to him like some sort of holy relic? Why do you think we see that first, and then his more thoughtful(in the woeful paucity of your own vocabulary, "bitchy") expression throughout the remainder of that montage, while celebrities and scholars talk over the way the paradigm has shifted due to his mere existence?

Thrill us with your insights.

Correct. He released him because it served his ends. Zod and the other Kryptonian criminals are responsible for their actions as well.

If you disagree, be sure to trash the fuck out of the house of the next person to invite you over. It's their fault for inviting you in the first place. Kill their pets while you're at it, too. You'll still be totally blameless, right?

MoS was about Clark growing up from being a guy from Kansas with strange powers and searching his purpose on Earth to a superhero who embraces his destiny and saves the world. The character arc in BvS is about Clark learning to deal with aftermath of that: the burden of being a public superhero and thus the object of political interest and controversy. He learns that despite his powers, he can't always do the right thing and save everyone. People will still die because he is fallible. A true hero is one who may fall down but just gets back up again.

When Superman saves the child from the burning apartments, he is surrounded by dead people embracing him, even worshipping him. But Superman doesn't happily take it all with a smile. In fact, he reluctantly turns his head away in what appears to be him feeling some sort of dread or pain.

I think this is Superman realizing that he is surrounded "by the dead". That he is so different from them, they will know death, he will not. Maybe it's even part shame, knowing that our fates are set in stone while his isn't. A God among men. But he also desires to be one of us.

In his fight against Batman, Batman says "you don't know what it means to be brave. Men are brave". And this is true to some extent. An immortal God figure cannot be brave as there is no risk involved. "It's time you learn what it means to be a man" means coming face to face with death, which is what separates Superman from man. If he can't do that, then he cannot be brave and he cannot be man.

This dilemma of death is eventually adressed in the climax of the film, as he comes to terms with his own mortality, and pays the ultimate price of a human being. Superman becomes man. Superman overcomes the final trial. And that is accepting his own death. And this is when Batman finally recognizes Superman as man.

I look at that moment with the crowd as a both a reminder of his vision with Zod as well as an "omen" of sorts.

He's beginning to fear that the way he's being perceived as a sort of god is every bit as big a danger to mankind as Zod ever was. He can do everything right and still lead us straight to hell, because saving people from themselves isn't the same as inspiring them to be better people. I think that's why he's shown hovering above the flood. It's the moment he realizes that what he's seeing is, without question, the birth of worship and ritual.

Even further, it hearkens back to what he heard the African witness say on television: "I wan't to know how he decides whose lives matter and whose do not."

At that moment, he's looking down at a family who painted his symbol on their roof like some sort of new Passover ritual and waited for the man in the sky to come save them. What sort of message does it send if he saves them first? What about last?

He's learning that just playing humanity's "silent angel" isn't inspiring mankind to anything but worship. If he doesn't step up and clearly define who he is and what he stands for, people will continue to paint him with the colors of their own preconceptions.

I'm honestly shocked at the current state of this website. Yeah, we made racist jokes sometimes, but it was all fun, right? At the end of the day, we all voted for Obama, we all supported gay marriage, and we all opposed racist conservative christians. But now? Our entire fucking site is subverted because of fucking nazis.

The internet is OUR platform. the LIBERAL platform. Racism, sexism, misogyny, were all confirmed to be left in the past because millenials are the most left-wing generation of all time. So why in the FUCK, do we still have to deal with nazis IN TWENTY-FUCKING-SEVENTEEN? Despite how much you wanna cry about how it's just a conspiracy and a boogeyman, Russian hackers ARE real, and this site is proof. We went from one of the most liberal sites in the world to supporting Orange Fucking Hitler? Nah, that's not normal progression because people only get more liberal with age, just like how you get smarter with age.

Threads like these just show that we need MUCH more strict moderation around here. I'm sick of all of this shit. Fuck Nazis, Fuck Fascists, Fuck Hitler, Fuck Drumpf, Fuck White Pride, and FUCK REPUBLICANS. Just fucking nuke this site already.
