(Seriously, the whole “We hate nerds, nerds ruin everything!” is one of the weirder trends I’ve seen in Cinema Discusso, a forum that idolizes a man who writes thousands upon thousands of words pretending to be a communist robot film critic.)

Wha? Who are we talking about?

Nowadays, everyone’s a nerd!

Extremely vocal nerds do ruin everything and run people off things. Nerds who scream at celebrities via twitter that they ruined whatever dumb character they want to gently caress. Those type of people are very narrow minded and can ruin a lot of things. They are never open to interpretation - they can never just be ok with something or to ignore it. It's all BEST EVER or poo poo GARBAGE.

If you think this video is raising people's opinion of Snyder you are living in a dream world. Like seriously, I wasn't a fan of his work but I figured there was a distance between him and his most rabid fans, and that video erases that.

The basic gist of it is that people complain about Batman killing people are living in a fantasy world, and that his moral code is bullshit, he paralyzes people, embezzles money, defrauds investors, etc.

Except said a lot more drunker and in a fratty shorthand with s lot of "like" punctuation breaking up incomplete sentences

I'm gonna give him a pass. We've all been drunk and chatted a bunch of poo poo. I am sure he is frustrated, and I reckon these screenings are some much needed catharsis for him and his fans and I am glad they are enjoying them.

However, these "dunkings" on people who didn't care for a not very good super hero film from a couple years back are not quite the world ending burns that some people think they are. If you think that, you are, lol, living in a dreamworld.*

Like, there is a great irony in calling people nerds because they didn't, repeat, didn't care for the Batman vs Superman movie.

Edit: poo poo, joke already made.

I mean...is he, though? From what he said, his own semi-coherent words, he’s just talking about people who disagreed with his take on the characters.

For the record, I don’t read his rambling as “dunking on nerds” at all (except for his weird virginity comment, that’s loving out there, I don’t know where he was even going with that). The dunking part seems like some weird projection going on.

It's not that surprising people get upset when they don't like a take on a character.

If the movie Batman isn't the character you've been a fan of for 20 years, you'd need to wait like 2 whole years for the new version reboot.

The weird thing about Synder is that his boring bland movies are not offensively bad like Fantastic Four or X-Men 3. They are just boring and forgettable. I'm still astounded at the difference between how much is actually worth talking about in his movies, to how much discussion they generate in this thread even months (soon to be years) after they have been relevant.

I checked the thread after the weekend and I would be surprised if Endgame generates as many posts in the first 3 days of its release. Crazy. Please bring back the moratorium.
