You're not really supposed to think the cousin is doing a good job and he didn't want the tournament to happen in the first place, the whole thing's supposed to be a trainwreck and so is he. It works fine

Pretty much this. Politicians ignore science as inconvenient, groups of armed thugs are forming to protect "pure" bloodlines, and it feels like we're running out of options.

People hate MoS because it holds a mirror up to the world and asks, "How can just one man save our world? He can't do it alone. Not unless we join him in the sun."

We need less sun though the planet's too hot

The logic flow becomes way more fever dream-ish, and we get much less, relatively, of Lois and Superman's investigative arcs. It becomes more about Batman's crazed Ahab-like pursuit of Superman.

So yeah, it's dark, Batman's stuck in full-on vengeful bull-in-china-shop mode, the Knightmare dream sequence didn't work for the not-my-Batman crowd, so stack those on top of the already existing not-my-Superman crowd. The theatrical cut kind of works as a nightmarish Batman-pov'd movie, though.

Patrolling Gotham City almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter

Both walking zombies and running zombies capture various aspects of the fear of one's fellow humans. Uniform hostility to outsiders, insensibility to harm, unsurpassable tenacity, the ability to make you conform against your will... there's a lot there.

Running zombies tap into the primordial fear that you're definitely losing that race and everyone's going to laugh

"Some bat like creature terrorizes this city nightly and crime only appears to be increasing, lock the space ship doors and let's get out of here" - the white martians

Aliens come to invade Gotham, but the mob steals their ufo and now they're stranded in Crime Alley with psychotic clowns, mudmen, bat men, man bats, some dick who won't stop asking them questions, and some guy with a gun. How will they get home? Why does Earth's government allow this? Who can they vaporize in retaliation?

How do you handle reading books?

One page at a time

Really though, the extremely obvious answer is that they are different mediums and one of them is typically more intended to be absorbed in one go and even then, I usually read novellas or short stories in a single sitting if at all possible.

They might be different mediums, but the art of storytelling has existed forever. As far as movies, I'd argue the intentionality of one entire swallow, as inherent to it is a multi-act structure. Furthermore, most of its existence included interludes, until the profit motive deemed it a nuisance; the other part of the medium's history is home media, which divides it into chapters.

Maybe it's because I didn't get to watch movies in the theaters growing up, but I'm not at all precious about seeing them in one sitting. Maybe I would have actually enjoyed seeing "Everything Everywhere all at Once", if I didn't have to power through such an internet brain poisoned movie.

Be honest, would setting aside three different evenings really have made you think "oh boy! I get to watch this for a third night in a row!"?

Yes? I'm not sure I understand what's supposed to be unpleasant about that scenario. This applies even if it's for a film I've seen before, as the most painful part by far is settling on something to watch in the first place.

Personally, when I'm not enjoying something I stop watching it instead of planning how it could take up more of my life. Posting on the internet excepted of course
