i know we've rehashed the snyderverse a million times, but there's just been so many loving missed opportunities

like how much cooler would the fight with zod have been if instead of them throwing each other off satellites and destroying metropolis, you just had two guy wailing on each other, exhausted, like the end of the doomsday comics?

they don't need to fly around, just have them throwing haymakers. you can even end it the same way, except maybe have a crowd show up instead of just some random white people in a train station.

you've already destroyed smallville and had that gravity gun pulping civilians in the street.

Right now undead are at the top of my shit list. Undead are complete fuckers. Those geists are fuckers. Necromancers are fuckers. Necrosavants are big time fuckers. Skeletons aren't too bad except when they bleed everyone in the company. Zombos are at least not too bad.


I hope it's just two hours of superheroes slaughtering the innocent. Again.

Is there anyone here that likes those movies? I was tempted to try and be contrarian and say they're good but was like, nah, trolling attempt would be too obvious.

i know this was posted a few pages ago but irl i know someone who liked batman v superman because it

a. had batman in it
b. batman killed people with guns
c. batman killed people with his car
d. batman killed people with his fists (possibly)
e. it was dark and gritty and he felt this made it more adult

so yes, people who like those movies are out there. and yes, they can vote.

One thing I'm kind of sick of seeing in superhero movies is everyone lives in cushy houses and apartments. Even the '78 Superman is guilty of having Lois Lane, a newspaper reporter, living in a penthouse.

That's one good thing about the Raimi Spider-Man movies because Peter lived in a lovely apartment and his aunt and uncle didn't fare much better. He even had to go to a laundromat to clean his costume and barely went by on pizza deliveries.

Honestly I was always a DC fan, but all of their live-action movies since maybe the first Nolan Batman have just sucked out loud. Their animated movies are much better, but that's not what's getting released in theaters.

It is a metaphor for the DC vs. Marvel movies rivalry, except that would end with them kissing and fusing into one blob.

I'm just glad they've apparently decided to embrace Flash as having blast at basically the whole gig. I don't think I could handle a full on Snyder!Flash

they seem to have given barry wally's character. that's okay because barry was one of those boring mid-20th century heroes with no real personality. i'm actually looking forward to seeing what snyder does with flash; say what you will about his movies but some of his visuals are pretty striking.

Still can't get over how they just gave it to Joss Whedon. They just gave up trying to fight him.

I mean, it's a good idea, probably. Now it will be mediocre and obscenely successful instead of awful but still somehow successful.

the actions scenes in m o steel were good if you could ignore all the people dying. honestly that really discordant bit could've been salvaged if you'd just put in a bit more with superman trying and failing to save more people rather than focusing on hitting zod as hard as he could.

i enjoyed the us military being built up like michael bay's quasi-recruitment video coverage of the armed forces, then it gets to them engaging with that hot eastern european chick and the giant and they get totally gorilla raped.

i like how zach snyder is so stupid he didn't get that superman's dad dies from a heart attack in every other version because it's to show no matter how powerful superman is he can't save everyone from everything. dude just died in a tornado he coulda saved his dad without anyone even noticing.

Also "There's not just ONE badguy responsible for it, we're all to blame!" is maybe not a good WW2 message.

Could argue it's true. Still not the best message for a movie, imo.

"No, this is not WWII, it's not good guys vs. badguys, he said it was and we made it look like it was, but we tricked you!" is a major plotpoint. It's intentional. They use the WW1 setting and also the fact that the audience doesn't really get the difference between that and WW2 effectively.

"lol, WW1 didn't HAVE a hitler, you dummies, did you really think it did?" is pretty much a line in the film.
