Owl movie needs a 3 hour cut. It’s got too many world details to fit in 93 mins. Also more time for more bat neck snapping.

As tech cult of personalities take over and online propaganda spreads, my love for BvS grows.

Quote is right though: BvS remains the most interesting super hero film for me. I think I like Man of Steel more, but BvS has got this intriguing depth. I mean just compare it to avengers civil war…

Also reminds me I need to finally buy the BvS 4K.

What’s the issue with calling BvS layered?

Sure saying you didn’t like it because you didn’t think enough may not be accurate, but I see no issues with saying a movie that’s draws a lot from Arthurian legends and post 9/11 and Iraq hysteria layered.

Right I don’t think BvS has Lynch depth or anything, but I do see it as having more than most super hero films.

Which does go back to Synders main point that it may be an outlier. Obviously you can dislike the film for other reasons too including it’s ridiculous title.

The bolded statement came from people noticing some visual references to 1981's Excalibur. The biggest ones were Batman's kryptonite spear having a similar green glow to the titular sword, and Superman (King Arthur) sacrificing his life to defeat the armored abomination Doomsday (Mordred).

The whole Martha scene also plays out similar to Arthur fighting and using Excalibur to defeat Lancelot. He then realizes his error and throws Excalibur back into the lake, same with the kryptonite spear.

Doomsday functions like mordred yeah in that he is kind of Superman’s son and sin also. Lex orchestrates all this similar to Morgana. There’s more I’m sure as after all Synder loves Excalibur.

But I think the post 9/11 aspects have more to say, especially with politics today.

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.

Smaug was a cool dude who just wanted some gold and a good nap under a mountain. Sure occasionally had to burn a city, but for the most part he was a strong independently wealthy dragon.

Then game of thrones came along and suddenly the dragons don’t want gold? Just sheep. And they let humans ride them.

Hobbits movie gave us best dragon at least.

Watching Watchmen again for first time in years, and I know one of the common criticisms is that Synder makes Rorschach too cool, but uh in the first 40 minutes he definitely doesn’t seem very stable. All of his monologues refer to all women as whores and streets are full of rabies and fornication. And just eats cold beans.

Also like how everyone just has terrible memories of the comedian as this really abusive authoritarian. BvS kind of feels like the more streamlined version of a lot of these themes that Synder was interested in.

Yeah I felt that way when BVS came out too. But instead of being redundant I think they make good companion pieces.

Agreed. Watchmen and BvS are good companion pieces with BvS ending with the optimistic peace built on faith vs peace built on lies of watchmen.

Skipped to a point in the video and it says Zack is pure, not a single thought going on in his head. Kind of opposite of everything being discussed after that Icelandic song reveal.
