Has it begun? Has Trump's destruction of America finally forced normies to take the Snyder-Pill?

>http://screenrant.com/dceu-batman-donald-trump-america/

>In no uncertain terms, Batman V Superman shows the danger of believing good people given power can remain uncorrupted. But Snyder doesn’t present this bleak landscape for its own sake: the entire conflict hinges on these prejudices being overcome. If the world presented in the DCEU has proven to be a shockingly accurate reflection of our own, the saving grace of that story should probably be looked to for some hope, if not concrete solutions.

>Especially since the story sees Batman absolved of his failures, and acknowledge the reasons for his hatred in time to do what heroes must: identify the true enemy, and disarm them. And for those seeing only enemies around them in their communities, their political arenas, and their nations, seeing through the confusion to the ones most eager to not be noticed isn’t any easier than it was for Batman. But he did it… and so can we.

extreme Libtards and extreme conservatards both tried to misinterpret the movie to fit their own agendas.

Snyder deals purely in grays.

BvS is literally the perfect snapshot of America today, it's literally prophetic that it was written 2+ years ago and released more than a year ago.

>>87073884
Again, all the bullshit defending BvS is about what it's supposed to be saying and not about how it's made, which is the biggest problem the movie has.
Putting concept above execution leads to the demise of the arts, which are supposed to be a celebration of skills just as much, if not more, than of concepts and ideas. There's philosophy for that, but shit like BvS is too pedestrian for that so it stays in a limbo where it's neither one or the other so people who aren't intellectuals or artists can still feel good about themselves for appreciating this pretentious mediocrity which is nothing but a reflex of their own existence.
It's not by chance that works like Snyder's are praised in a board full of neets and underachievers such as 4chan.

Both BvS and MoS work with these metatextual social themes that are seemingly without fault proven though general audience reaction.

They're fucking fascinating social studies and I can't think of anything else like them. The audience reaction, expected to be divisive literally works right into the narrative of the films, right down to the core thematics.

I fucking hate capeshit and blockbuster movies in general, but Snyder literally works on a level that I don't think many people know how to look for. He's unironically a genius.
>>
>>87079191
Lex is Soros. He controls the media, the politicians all while keeping a guise of philantrophism. Trump is honest about who he is. Lex's game is deception.

Snyder confirms Superman as an outsider trying to fit in a world of hatred, paranoia and greed. In MoS he mirrors the coming of the New Testament. I think you can make the point that he faces some of the issues liberal muslims do but that's limiting the outsider-fitting-in theme into just that. Superman's dilemma stems from being of another world but who considers himself wholly human, American and probably even Christian. The dilemma is in the world not accepting him as one of our own. You can apply that theme to various people or groups of people.

What both of you fail to realize is you're just injecting your own bullshit onto the movie because the movie is so utterly devoid of actual content or meaning.

As the plot of the movie is literally nothing but "lex h8 supermans." that's it. There are no subplots, there are no overarching themes. Literally every second of the movie is "lex h8 supermans." But they spent 300 million making this movie, so your mind automatically starts filling the blanks in the narrative with whatever bullshit you personally believe. The movie is a glorified inkblot. A collage of comic panels strewn randomly in a jackson pollock style splatter pattern.

might as well just name any fucking rich person who bends the so called infallible political structure to their own ends


if anything, that is precisely why we're shown lex do all this shit
>absolute power corrupts absolutely

it's not the outsider who makes us question ourselves that is the enemy


there is a parallel to trump, not because trump just happens to be trump like, but because he's such a caricature of the egoic rich man, this is coincidental to me, the point of lex's actions is that for those who have that power, again, the political system is just another thing that can manipulated for personal gain


all this finger pointing to try to find out who the 'enemy' is is exactly what bvs is trying to get us all to face
>>
Perhaps demagogues should stop looking at it from a democrat/republican point of view and look at it more from a POV of these things being fundamentally part of the corrupt USA DNA. The country is rotten to the core, and the final statement is only unity can repair it, but politicians, the media, etc have a vested interest in keeping us divided.

If you read any part of this film as a validation of Trump, you're literally the problem with this country, much as someone who reads it wholly a validation of liberal ideas. It's about the bigger picture.

The text is all wrong. If anything Lex is the man so afraid of God he would rather kill him than come to terms with there being someone above him. He is a militant atheist if anything. Desperately rejecting God because God makes him feel small.

Note that Superman is not and have never claimed to be God. But Lex's paranoia and ego turns him into one without realizing the irony that he's the one attaching a God-like aura to Superman. There is a lot of irony in BvS.

What the fuck you on about? While MoS Superman does mirror the coming of Jesus, he never claims to be God. He is of two worlds, within him a new Kryptonian doctrine of free will and choice. There are obvious similarities like that. But Superman is not God. Superman is turned into a God-like figure by Lex which is the irony considering his motives of attempting the opposite. His self-less sacrifice creates the image of a savior and the Ideal Man. A self-less sacrifice enabled by Lex.

Batman represents neocons, going kill frenzy and obsessed with destroying seemingly harmless foreign powers. Everythkng they didn't control had to be killed.

Superman is the American spirit, the "wolkgeist" of the United States after 9/11. Brought from abroad but raised in America, both Superman and the people found themselves with amazing, unmatched powers and they both tried to use it to help humanity as a whole, only to be blamed for everything and distrusted for the potential uses of said powers. After 9/11, Superman/the people couldn't trust themselves either. Did we cause this? Who are our allies?

Luthor represents the corporate lobbyists, especially the military complex ones.

In the end America as a estate (Batman) and as the people (Superman) found out they have the same origins and motivations and joined to defeat the ultimate military industry produced false flag war starter (Doomsday)

Its absolutely breathtaking that Snyder would take the massive risk to change Lex's character to fit the current American culture and closer to fit Trump, even though he took lots of shit for it, given that context Eisenberg's performance is a masterwork.

the point is that Lex feels robbed of his agency and in order to regain the feeling of agency he is pushed to manipulate everyone and everything.

Then they got Lex perfectly in that regard at least. Lex is always moaning about how Superman limits human potential but if it wasn't for his desire to outshine Superman, Lex would have never achieved anything close to his full potential. Ironically there isn't a human alive who was more inspired by Superman than Lex Luthor

You know what's sad about this? The bad critical reception of the film forced Warner Brothers to change their hand and now the following movies will all be very simple and by-the-numbers. The fact critics are only now going back on the film and seeing its worth is a little too late, specially because we're not going to see more of these types of film precisely because of them. Justice League could have been like BvS and now it is not going to.

Fucking hell. If they complain that Justice League isn't as daring and poignant as BvS i'll fucking riot.

It's shill narrative. They are going to attack DC no matter what. If they do another challening capekino, they'll shit on it for not having enough quips about turds. If they play it safe, they'll shit on it because they are "sell outs" doing the same as Marvel (this as an insult despite shilling everything Marvel does).

Media and their critics are just getting for a bunch of Disney checks. If there are shills ITT they'll ask me for hard evidence of any of this, that's how you know them btw

Something that I think is pure genius is having his suit be a Kryptonian relic. Just by putting it on, he's honoring the heritage of a more enlightened age of his people while also wearing a visible badge declaring his outsider status. Take away the suit and everything that makes him alien completely vanishes.

It would be like a Muslim guy putting on Hajj attire before purposefully stepping out to do good deeds.

It wasn't just Lex. Many people were seeing him as a godlike figure. I find it interesting that of the gods Lex mentions by name, none of the ones he names are typically thought of as Messianic, savior types. Personally, I believe that's because that's not what Lex sees when he looks at him.

Basically, it's saying that the "war on terror" is really just a vendetta campaign propped up by a sensationalist media that fuels the xenophobia and a well-connected corporate elite that stands to profit from the cultural divide and lack of meaningful dialogue between the two sides.

It even goes as far as to blame how we handled the Iraq war for birthing ISIS, and I don't disagree.

This is bullshit. The shia-sunni conflict has existed for hundreds of years and is much of a proxy war between those states than an Iraqi civil war.

Superman is the true American. He believes in universal morals and personal intervention over robotic drone strikes where nobody is held responsible. He's the American Way trying to survive in an era where that way has been forgotten.

Editing is shit and I'd understand people not liking the movie because of it. I have the theory that the totally not fake news gy who said Wonder Woman was a mess was some editot fired over it because Suicide Skwad was edited by a third party (it was even worse) and WW had a pretty good edit too

But other than that the movie is kino

Ok, so for me the movie was pretty nice, I enjoyed it and I don't understand why it has 27% - BUT at the same time I haven't noticed all the stuff I see in this thread and I don't follow what you're saying because it seems like you are getting into stuff that you have already debated before and I am jumping right in the middle of it and I don't get it.
>>
>>87086187
Think about how Superman is trying to just let his actions do the talking for him. Look at how that plays right into the hands of Lex and a media that would rather focus on the bad and controversy to the exclusion of all else. Look at how fast people are to politicize him no matter what he does. Now think back to the last time you heard any mention of humanitarian efforts undertaken by Muslim organizations. Ever heard of the Red Crescent? You should have. They're doing the same type of work as the Red Cross. It's just not talked about or focused on in a culture where "Islam is the boogeyman" gets more views. Also, don't think for a moment that it's a one-sided message. Superman's guilt and reluctance to more clearly speak for himself are part of the problem.

Then there's Bruce, whose personification of American(Western) xenophobia is quite a bit more obvious. He talks an awful lot about war and his fears about "aliens that could burn the whole place down," but at the end of the day, he's just looking for revenge, and he's willing to do anything it takes to get it, be it torture, skirting the Justice system by branding "undesirables" or treating collateral casualties as a necessary evil. At the end of the day, he's still rationalizing murder as an act of "preemptive self-defense" based solely off of where his enemy is from, and what he someday *might* do.

Think it over a bit and amalyze Lex on your own.

Ok so lex is the media who makes them fight and get profits off of it.

Ok, maybe I get the metaphore now.
If it was intentionally about what you're talking about, I'm not so sure. Do you really think Znyder were making a mirror of muslims coming to western world and being a victim of exenophobia, and the media who earn big bucks on polarizing them?

>Do you really think Znyder were making a mirror of muslims coming to western world and being a victim of exenophobia, and the media who earn big bucks on polarizing them?

Take MoS for example with the 9/11 imagery, Zod and his crew acting as jihadists, and Superman in the middle of it all having to prove he's not like Zod and his crew, while also dealing with the outcome produced by Zod & crew actions.

So Znyder is just one of tthose who misunderstand why people are afraid of muslim immigration? He actually think people are afraid that they might be terrorists and that this is why people don't want them to migrate? At least in Europe it's not like that. In Europe the concern is 99% of the time the great replacement, not terrorists.

Visually the movie is pretty kino all the way until Doomsday shows up and then it picks up again once Doomsday is dead. It's kino because of its scope and its ambition. It uses popular characters as social, political and even philosophical archetypes to make a movie about the 2000 political and social in America. Some people say that Batman shouldn't kill mindless thugs because that's not a "goof guy" thing to do, well I say America shouldn't torture shitskins in Guantanamo either. And Batman represents America, or part of it, you see him quoting Dick Cheney in the movie. Corporal punishment is not a good guy thing to do either, is Batman, or America, bad guys then? That's one of the many questions this movies asks to the audience, those questions (the movie doesn't provide answers, just hope for an American moral renaissance) but they never answered. They just say the movie was shit and that's that. Batman and Superman must be invincible boy scouts or nothing, that was the answer. Ironically James Cameron, a Zack Snyder fan, accused Wonder Woman of being too much of a girl scout, I think he was asking for some of that Snyder magic back. Well sorry Jim but Zack has give us the biggest "fuck you" ever, by handpicking Whedon for JL reshoots. Let's hope he didn't yield and the movie is still his.

I'm drunk but I think that's the gist of it
>>
>>87085039

It's interesting because it's always been such a hallmark of the character that you don't really think about it in those terms. Or how much more relevant it is given how the world reacts to Superman in this movie

He did come up with the basic Lex-as-businessman model (even though still also a scientific genius), the basis used to this day. Yes it was a popular change, good for him.

Is any of this crap in this movie a good, popular change? Was knocking off Heath Ledger joker an improvement on that iconic Lex shift?
>>
>>87089095

In the Donner movies Lex wasn't a scientist. He was a down-on-his-luck schemer that cared about real state. Donner's Lex had nothing to do with comics Lex. Comics Lex at the time was pure mad scientist.

And Snyder's Lex is both a scientist and business-man, as well an egotist prick who's great at posing as a caring philanthropist, while in truth he's in bed with the government. That's current comics Lex to a T.
>>
>>87073884
>In no uncertain terms, Batman V Superman shows the danger of believing good people given power can remain uncorrupted.

except it doesn't, Superman never does anything morally wrong in the either movie, he does nothing the entire time but try to help people

and the point of Lex's character is he was fucked in the head before he got power from his fathers upbringing and the point of Batman's character is relative to Superman he is literally powerless and only a man

Because they're a part of pretty much everything the Red Cross does and has been for nearly a century. The fact you almost never hear about them in Western media is pretty much exactly the sort of point the film's making about Superman.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Red_Cross_and_Red_Crescent_Movement

That being said, they're to blame as well, as they've been content to try to let their actions speak for them rather than pound their chest and tell everyone about all the awesome things they do.

Sort of like Superman.

Thats the beauty of it. Its nothing. The movie is so unbiased and smart that can be used to push both points of view.

Frankly I discussed the muslim shit here like 3 weeks ago (they probably lift kino posts from here).

What I said was not that he was a muslim analog, but that if MoS was about a muslim refugee that becomes a police officer and then goes against muslim terrorists in America, integrating himself and helping Americans while neglecting his barbarian roots,liberals would praise the movie and would get a trillion oscars.

What that portion of the narrative is really speaking to is the danger of fanaticism and the perils of false gods. Islam just happens to be the most accessible and recognizable form of fanaticism to a Western audience.

Basically, when the Kryptonians huddled back n Krypton and stagnated, they fell into sort of a Dark Age, where they took science(their genetics program) and sort of enshrined it as a god.

Because critics watch something once. Because they go into capeshit expecting certain things and when they don't get them, they complain.

Because, and this is the most important, the critics weren't treated the way they wanted to by the studios. This is a subtext you can pick up on in reviews of BvS, particularly the top critics on RT. Several complain about being asked not to spoil the movie. Unfortunately part of getting good reviews is courting the press, and WB didn't. They learned their lesson given that they invited people to the set
>>
>>87074338
It's both.

BvS themes are fairly universal and everyone can see what they look in it.

BvS is already a cult classic.
>>
>>87093920
are you cucks still peddling the RT/ Disney collaboration conspiracy because you do know WB owns RT right?
>>
>>87094132
I don't think they are saying that.

It would be false of course. Disney don't want DCU to fail, because the good experiences people have of DCU movies will actually make people go to see MCU movies more. Superhero movies is a genre, in which all the studios are benefiting on each other's success. Marvel and WB wants the same thing, a continued success on both ends.

The film is a lot of things. I don't think that Snyder wrote it as a metaphor for Muslims in America, especially that Trump wasn't president back then. In my opinion, the influences were (obviously) Arthurian Legends, Moby Dick, Bible etc. At the sime time, the film is so genial that it can be read many ways. It's showing post-9/11 trauma. It's a metaphor of liberal America. It's a metaphor of Trump America. Snyder created a masterpiece so powerful, it literally can be interpreted by anyone and in any way.

I think you just live in a small bubble here on /tv/. People I know IRL all think it's terrible and some of them even refuses to see it because of the bad reviews. People who like it starts off by apologizing its flaws if they talk about the movie and so on. Everyone just "know" that it's a bad movie. And it's all because of that 27%. Still I'd like to get more answers on my main point (I'm OP), why the hell is it so much disliked? I understand how the critics would think that it's a movie with issues, like the pacing and some scenes that doesn't work too well. But 27%? That's worse than fucking daredevil. It's so low that it's ridiculous. I have no idea where they take that level of disapproval from.

No. I am just saying what I saw after reading critics reviews. And they wanted more from WB. More ass kissing, better gift bags, something. Whenever critics feel slighted, they shut down and trash whoever has become their new target. I don't really buy into the Disney shill narrative. But when they speak openly of their distaste for how they were treated, it's pretty fucking clear what's going on

Which is not to say they would be given glowing reviews. But you can bet they would have been way more forgiving, the way they are with Disney who has long known how to baby the arrogant pricks
