Because it's so absurd. I don't mind it  It's like how I can't help but laugh at people who unironically believe Snyder is objectivist and so is his Superman. poo poo's so funny to me now. teagone fucked around with this message at 03:03 on Jul 21, 2023 |

teagone posted:I guess that's kinda funny lol. Because it's so absurd. I don't mind it I got in a facebook argument with one and when I asked for examples, he responded with the usual stuff about the bus and pa kent's death, but then he finished with this.: "I'm thinking of the scene in the bar, where Clark, in a confrontation with a bully, who is sexually harassing a waitress, later destroys the man's truck. It's a pointless, petty act that doesn't actually teach the man a lesson, or serve to make him a better human, or even bring any sort of justice to the wronged woman (who will almost certainly be accosted by the same man the next time he comes through town). No, Snyder's Superman simply engages in an act of destructive revenge in the vein of Howard Roarke blowing up the housing project when the people in charge of it dared to defy his perfect architectural design. The circumstances of the act indicate that it has nothing to do with righting a wrong or preventing a future one - it has to do with punishing someone who defied him." And if you're wondering if he held up the Donner films (where Superman beats the poo poo out of a guy with superpowers for humiliating him in a different timeline) you know he did. It's interesting how, in ten years, the discussion around MoS hasn't only not advanced, it's actually gotten way worse and far dumber.

It's funny that there were certain posters here who were huge supporters of Armond White who just quietly forgot him. I'm still "friends" with him on FB just for the train wreck and he tries so, so hard to fit in with the Right Wing.

Joke seems more about film bros and guy movies than anything personal. The Barbie ZSJL joke is funny in that WB keeps coming back to Synderverse. In their (likely) biggest movie of the year they mention him by name instead of just moving on.

Was Armond White ever a big Snyder defender? I can imagine it as part of his contrarian shtick but I don't really remember his name ever coming up in the Snyder Wars, and I'm sure a lot of people would have jumped on him defending Snyder as evidence of Snyder's evilness.

White was defined by his anti-liberalism, and almost purely negative in that respect. This meant he was one of the only reviewers in the relative mainstream saying that, like, Toy Story is ideologically sus, Joss Whedon is bad, and satirical movies like Transformers are only vilified because they lay bare the hypocrisy. Then, like many who defined themselves by ‘owning the libs’ circa 2010, White suddenly went positive: all-in on Trump and conspiracist fascism, revealing himself to be a rube. The fatal mistake is in seeing Trump as an antidote to liberalism instead of a derangement of it. It’s the difference between appreciating Michael Bay movies and wanting Michael Bay’s characters to take over the nation IRL.

See, if Clark had bodied that bully and thrown him out on his rear end after humiliating him, THEN it would have been heroic. There is nothing inherently valuable in showing self restraint and damaging something fungible instead of inflicting bodily harm on someone. In fact, it's actually a lot worse.
