naem posted:In a world with a superman why would you dress up like a bat and punch people? Seems like you'd lose your motivation On the other hand when your mom and dad raised you on a steady diet of gently caress This Gay Earth and You Shouldn't Save Busloads of Kids Who Are About To Die, I don't really see why Superman does anything either

Can you imagine that any writer ever involved with Superman or Batman in all of comics history watched MOS or this film and thought "gently caress yeah I wish I'd done it this way!!"

See if Zack Snyder had somehow been chosen to direct the Captain America/Avengers films, that is the version he would have jumped on.

Slime Bro Helpdesk posted:Cap finds the camp of extremely well cared for Jews outside of a German town. "America must be kept in the dark" he says solemnly while whipping his shield through the bodies of townsfolk. This is a real thing that Marvel has recently added to Cap's design (a shield for chopping dudes in half)  Not a joke

Otisburg posted:I'd be interested to see how he reacted to ghost dad's "heroism is nothin but a bunch of horse drowning" in the new one. Or Supermom's "You don't owe these people a drat thing, you never did" which is like the "Maybe" conversation if it had terminal cancer caused by the massive steroids it's been on since the first film

ashpanash posted:In BvS, Superman isn't just reluctant to save people. He actively hates it. It's like a terrible burden on him - he'd rather not save anyone. Well it's not really his fault, in MoS when he saves a busload of kids from certain death his dad chews his rear end for it. He's trained from a young age to let unimportant people die. Also that everyone is unimportant people including dear old Pa.

WorldsStrongestNerd posted:Maybe so, but that's the vibe I seem to get from this. It's like he looked at the superman mythos of being an all american boy scout, and thought "lol that's stupid" and he would be right. I don't really agree that it's stupid but yes I am certain that is exactly what he thought. And then he thought "man gently caress that ima have all this poo poo blowin up it'll be fuckin rad!!" and "NECK SNAP!!" and other thoughts in a similar 13 year old kid vein.

An actually realistic take on Superman: A highly motivated and morally (but not ethically) superior Clark Kent takes advantage of his flawless physique, handsome appearance, and most importantly his X-ray vision and superhuman hearing to absolutely dominate American politics, because he can just see all of his opponents' strategy and planning literally from a mile away. In debates he surreptitiously uses his heat vision to set Donald Trump's awful toupee on fire. When elected Emperor of the New America he enacts drastic financial reforms and brings about a golden age of prosperity and peace. Batman: Applies his vast wealth and intellect to a private but devastating war against crooked hedge fund managers and ponzi scammers. Paves the way for a new era of genuinely philanthropic wealth and works tirelessly to eradicate poverty all over the Earth. Occasionally does MMA exhibitions.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:Ah, I didn't see that. This article has a bunch of theories about how it could still be the real Captain America but he's not really a Hydra agent. It's pretty dumb but in the framework of the comic, it's the biggest red flag about this whole Cap Is Really a Nazi, Really business.

Frankenstyle posted:Well yeah there is that. But SMG did pop into one of the GBS Fury Road threads to post screenshot comparisons "proving" George Miller totally ripped off his shot compositions from the "superior" Transformers movies. His shtick should be tiresome by now, but it's goddamn impressive how many gullible people line up to jump on the SMG train. I'm glad there's at least one other person who does not take SMG strictly at face value, imo the forums are made a much more interesting place by his posting and people who get real mad at him are a bunch of dummies Gatts posted:More like he at least presents some interesting food for thought that has more insight than "That was awesome! Not like that, which sucks!" but yeah the best part is when he trolls people who get so uppity and uptight about it. Like, he just post something and fanboys get so upset and keep arguing. I don't read his posts religiously but I've seen him make some really clever observations on cinematography and general filmmaking technique and think that helps his trolling immensely.

That's fair, and almost every time a filmmaker pulls that gimmick I find it super annoying and dumb (Jacob's Ladder etc etc etc) but in this case I was willing to let it go by because the rest of the movie was such a fun exploration of his two minute precognition gimmick.
