You're right we should just let them do whatever the gently caress they want, there's no way that will ever turn out bad. How silly of that guy for suggesting oversight would be a good thing.

In the movie he's referring to, it's implied that the guy suggesting the "oversight" oversaw the accord facilitating it, so what's it really mean anyway? It's a fig leaf.

So, confronted with fear, your solution is violence? Or do you imagine we will somehow prevent them from being "whatever the gently caress they want" peacefully?

Congratulations, you've decoded the message of Batman v Superman, a movie that ends with Superman (of his own free will) dying for his adopted planet and Batman's redemption.

He died because he didn't dodge getting stabbed in the chest. Batman could have easily used the spear on Doomsday.

Also :lol: at people saying that Chiwetel Ejiofor should have been cast as Dr. Strange, gently caress that I just want to watch a superhero movie that looks semi accurate to the comics.

All they want to do to movies like Civil War is make it look like a goddamn Refn film with the cinematography, they don't need that, they just a good story and quips and a decent score.

At least then they'd answer to someone. The Commander and Chief of the military is the President who is elected by the people. Superman is a some random alien dickhead who treats Earth and humanity like his little playthings. All the power in the world and no one to answer to. He faces no meaningful consequences for his gross incompetence in the Zod fight in MoS. Same with Batman. That mother fucker belongs in prison.

Actually he's a nice man and I love him.

If only Batman had made Kryptonite bullets instead of spending all that time making an extremely gaudy spear of destiny. Then he could have just sniped both Superman and Doomsday from a safe distance.

I guess now that Superman has done his Christ like thing and died for us the logical step is humanity worshiping him and so we're back at this worship of power in the DC movies.

On the whole, Batman has been a lot more consistent about not using guns than he has been about not killing people.

I think that was Lex' plan though.

'Slowly losing'. They only a decent amount of time to go before they may have had to make a strategic retreat, clearly all hope was lost!

Well, no. The fight had gotten significantly more dangerous - Doomsday now had a spike that could pierce his previously-nigh-invulnerable opponents.

But I'm not arguing for tactical realism in my superhero movies - and I'm disappointed in any Cinemasins-worshipping dipshit that does.

I respect a man making his hunt/kill a much more personal affair. It shows men are brave.

While I'm not sure if this happened in DC Comics, the Ultimate Marvel universe at least took a stab at this


Seeing W in the Ultimate comics really turned me off that universe. It was hostile but also so masturbatory. Including real world stuff in escapist stories always turns out that way.

I quit reading around the time that Captain America called the Hulk gay for trying to constantly rape Betty Ross.

I swear to god this happened. Basically the ULTIMATE AVENGERSSSSS get together, and their first target is THE HULK. We are introduced to the THE HULK as mild mannered Bruce Banner, stalking Betty, calling her female coworkers whores, and trying to rape her. When she beats him up (I think that happened?) and otherwise rejects him, Bruce HULKS OUT and levels downtown New York. Oh that stinker! So SamJack Fury calls in the ULTIMATE AVENGERSSSSS and Steve's proposed solution to the problem is to go "haha I bet Bruce is a sissy queer and he can't actually get it up and that's why Betty hates him" because he's from the 1940s y'all, and everyone in the 1940s blamed their impotence on homophobia. That's realism.

And then Hulk jumps from the Empire State Building yelling HULK STRAAAIIIIGHT and that's when I started laughing so hard I couldn't read the rest of the comic and I put it down.

I actually don't think he would, he'd be a little too smart for that. It would be just more likely that's what he digs, and a similar looking woman rejected him in the past, one of his only tastes of rejection.

Oscar Isaac did play a way better Lex Luthor in Ex Machina, I agree. They should've cast him as Lex, and Eisenberg as Apocalypse.
