I actually just saw the Turkish Airlines commercial- and it frames Metropolis and the world better than Snyder did in +2 hours of BvS.

Like, people look happy? I get the impression people like Superman without it being some creepy cult? Lex as part of the rebuilder of Metropolis seems to ground his character?


Like how does a lovely airline commercial do that much better?

Uyghurs situation in Xinjiang? Just a police action, do not fret. Not ongoing genocide like in EVIL Canada.

I am definitely not a tankie.

I like that Metropolis and Gotham are basically Kansas City, Kansas and Kansas City, Missouri.

And like 40 square blocks of Gotham is uninhabited like those weird empty pre-fab Chinese cities.

It was definitely a good decision to do that and wasn't horribly stupid for the sake of the dumb plot.

It's a pretty short commercial, but it's framed as 'Turkish Airlines is now doing full service flights to Metropolis, newly rebuilt and as vibrant as ever!'

The flyover/skyline shots make Metropolis look bright and impressive like you'd expect in a Superman movie. There's a brief Superman cameo as he flies over a group of people eating lunch outside and the look up with happy, non-insane smiles. Lex has a line or two, including one here he's sitting in First Class and has a goofy line about 'we can't wait to see you!'

IDK, it just sets up the world in a much more coherent light than the movie does.

The other day I saw an edit of the Superman saves a girl from jumping off a building panel to reflect what the Zack Snyder Superman would do instead. Does anyone have it?

So maybe someone remembers better than me- when exactly did Lex actually get in to the Kryptonian ship and start talking with the computer?

I'm pretty sure it was after congress blew up and basically at the same time as Superman being alone in the Arctic and Batman doing his crossfit, but the middle of this movie is a huge jumble for me.

Why talk about commercial instead of show it? Everything is on youtube.

I wouldn’t call “Batman v Superman” the most coherent film of the year, but it’s pretty much the opposite of mindless entertainment, and some of the critical complaints sound a lot like, “Thinking makes my head hurt.”

I liked a broad swath of the film and am just disappointed in how poor the writing is. The critical outcry is a bit hyperbolic as ever, I would hardly call this the worst superhero movie ever made or anything like that. That said, I don't think most people are too dumb to "get it" because the movie itself is pretty dumb, it just is too dumb to realize it.

I think it was before the bombing. He was talking to another senator (senator purrington perhaps?) And he convinces the senator to let him have access for like his patents on weapons? Idk I was so sick of watching by then I zoned out.

I mean that's fine, but I don't know that Smith in particular has to do it- very few people are actually complaining about AffleckMan at this point- he's usually pointed out as the highlight of the film in fact.

I'm laughing at people waiting for an extended cut of BvS that will somehow fix things. A ruthless editor with that extra footage and a goal of a running time of no more than 105 minutes MIGHT be able to wizard a satisfying film from that garbage heap. Adding more poo poo is just making the problem worse.

They lost the entire reel labeled 'Superman's motivations' for the theatrical release, but found it shortly thereafter.
