Pvt.Scott posted:I'm laughing at people waiting for an extended cut of BvS that will somehow fix things. A ruthless editor with that extra footage a 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 would have to overdub Lex name to Joker too. It probably can work if it's a Batman movie with Superman getting as little screen time as Wonder Woman.

I would have a lot more respect for the upcoming Suicide Squad if Jared Leto started poo poo talking this film as the Joker. "The damage that BvS has done to Batman is going to be hard to top." "Congratulations, Batman Forever, for becoming the second-to-worst movie featuring Batman" etc.

whatever7 posted:They would have to overdub Lex name to Joker too. If you cut Superman and Lex Luthor almost entirely out of the movie, and you just had Batman chasing down Superman and the mysterious Lex, gathering clues and whatnot, then quickly cut from Batman and Superman fighting (this is the first you see Superman), and then they go off to fight random Doomsday that just shows up out of nowhere (no Martha scene) you could cut the film down to 80 minutes and it would be elevated from a 0 to about a 3. If you only had weird disjointed Batman scenes and then WW and Superman show up to fight unexplained Doomsday it's about 30 minutes and maybe a 4 or 5.

8-Bit Scholar posted: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 the thing most upsetting to people is how awful this interpretation of Superman is. You tried to make a case for alternative interpretations of characters and there is a place for that yeah, but that's the kind of thing that needs room for nuance and development, not something you can fit into a big crossover punch up with cameos of upcoming heroes and barely enough screentime to establish why one character is doing poo poo let alone 3. Also, there should also be a point to the subversion of the character; what statement is Snyder trying to make with the emotionally detached superman who cares not for human life? What is the audience supposed to take away from this or MoS? Because I can't see any point beyond wrecking cities being cool to Zack Snyder. Sure, comicbook movies don't need to be cerebral, Marvel proves that, but you can't turn a paragon of truth, justice and the American way etc into an aloof sociopath and then tell people who question it not to take it so seriously.

I feel like one of the more obvious conclusions to draw from watching Snyder's Superman is that he wishes he had made Watchmen and Superman is his Dr. Manhattan. Then you instantly remember Snyder already made Watchmen and it's that he has the kind of sophomoric mind that can't get past that story as being 'the best thing ever' and the end-all-be-all w/r/t superhero stories.

I just can't really get behind a killer Bats. My friend, whose opinion I respect, has warmed to the prospect and there's a certain interesting narrative angle to explore here, but it makes no sense to try and form a Justice League around such unlikable flagship characters. It's going to take a miracle; an amazing Batfleck movie at the very least; to remotely redeem this incarnation of the character for me. I hope that now that we are free of Goyer entirely, the writing will pick up in the next ones; and I fully anticipate that they are going to end all of this with a weird time travel reset that will restore certain status quos for whatever fanciful film line-up they have planned. I'm much more afraid that the Suicide Squad reshoots are going to come at the sacrifice of David Ayer's original vision for the film. So long as that is maintained, I'll be satisfied with it, but I hope they don't make the movie dumber for dumbness sake.

Watching RLM discussion, and suddenly it all makes sense. Zack Snyder is legit a super-libertarian whose ambition is to direct Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead. All the speeches about "gently caress the humans, son, you don't owe them poo poo", him destroying a city and people loving him for it, him standing by as people are blown up, him doing nothing to save his friend Jimmy Olsen, him basically holding Earth hostage by crashing a billion dollar drone and telling the USA "gently caress you, I have the power, I'll do what I want, don't you dare try to regulate me"... It's crystal loving clear now. Zack Snyder stole WB's money and decided to make Ayn Rand's horrible nightmare, Objectivist-man.

A GLISTENING HODOR posted:Watching RLM discussion, and suddenly it all makes sense. Zack Snyder is legit a super-libertarian whose ambition is to direct Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead. I know Devin Faraci gets a lot of poo poo here, but he posted an article on how the original comic and the 1978 Christopher Reeve Superman was born to reflect the anxieties of their time and assuage them with a superhero that could overcome them and how Snyder kinda killed Superman for this generation with his renditions of a Supes that is overwhelmed by the zeitgeist. Anyway, he included this quote that Synder said during the press tour: quote:When we find him, he’s been dealing with the everyday world of being a superhero, but there’s a paradigm shift happening in that the unintended consequences of some of those rescues are starting to come into fruition. To Snyder, Supes can't be a hero anymore because heroics have been regulated to death. I wouldn't be surprised if the next paragraph had him talking about "moochers" and "looters". Also, the top comment in that article is kinda insightful... quote:In a post 9-11/War on Terror world, Warner Bros. has convinced people that Superman cannot exist.

It also doesn't help that it sucks. Grimdark start to finish is trying enough if the movie has anything of value. When it just sucks across the board, has an unbelievably insipid plot, and is flat out boring, it's extra bad. http://kotaku.com/batman-v-superman-isnt-like-other-superhero-films-and-1768676827 I mean, I know Kotaku is the worst but this is the weirdest poo poo. The guy feels like everyone's upset because it isn't a Marvel movie. I find it astounding that a person actually watched BvS and enjoyed themselves at all.
