Zack also left the door open for The Atom to get a solo movie, but WB blew that too. ZSJL did great numbers in China, and a spinoff with the guy who played Ryan Choi would have done yuuuge numbers, considering the actor was really popular in China In other news, if you're rich: https://twitter.com/ZackSnyder/status/1653848284627361792

Escobarbarian posted:What do you lads think about this quote I think it's very funny because I've seen a lot of responses along the lines of "It's very arrogant of Zack to say I disliked the movie because I didn't understand it, I understood it fine, it's just a bad movie!", but that's not what he actually said. So they didn't understand (or even read) the full quote, then got mad at him for it. And honestly, that's Snyder Discourse (tm) in a nutshell. But I'll echo teagones question, Esco. What did you think of the quote. Guy A. Person posted:With the added context he's even more magnanimous and literally saying "I did a kind of out there deconstruction of a super hero movie and most people just wanted something light and fun" which is literally what people who hate BvS say when they describe it as "grimdark" and say Gunn is going to save the DCEU by making it more fun. Right, the vast majority of negative reviews at the time complained about the tone and how "dark and dour" it was, and contrasted it with the fun MCU movies. Like, the vast majority of criticism against the film I've seen is about howr they're upset the movie deviated from their expectations or wishes (Superman doesn't smile enough, they wanted the movie to be more "fun" like the Worlds Finest animated thing, Batman killing, etc) Jimbot posted:The elaborate "lead-lined" wheelchair stuff in the Director's Cut isn't something I liked. I flip-flopped over that part but settled on "could have done without it". It has the unfortunate side effect of Superman using his xray vision willy-nilly. Like he's inherently suspicious of people. Him not seeing it because he chose to believe the man was there in good faith is a better reading. Yeah I hate that scene too, it's clearly just there to pre-empt nerds wondering why he didn't immediately see the bomb with his x-ray vision. Kinda like the whole "I've seen millions of timelines" bit with Dr Strange. Supermans explanation is way better, he didn't see it because he wasn't looking for it. That's way more elegant.

Roth posted:Zack Snyder is 100% correct and Escobarbarian is 100% wrong  Escobarbarian posted:I think the term applies more to the way a movie approaches themes rather than just it having the most surface-level metaphorical version of them, which was my personal take on the ideas BvS was touching on. Like the term “layers” implies depth, right? So what exactly makes it surface-level? What would you define as depth? Did you want a 3 hour deep dive on the iraq war but with Superman? Like, what's the frame of reference here? Edit: Oh, i was a bit too slow writing this McCloud fucked around with this message at 00:35 on May 11, 2023 |

Escobarbarian posted:Technically, but he also pairs it with saying it was a movie you “really needed to pay attention to”, and it’s not like the two are meant to be separate points, right? Like he is stating it’s layered in a way that required thought and analysis, which I personally don’t agree with. If a movie is meant to be thematically biblical and has a shot that echoes The Last Supper, that shot in itself doesn’t inherently mean it’s layered the biblical themes in an thoughtful way. To me, that’s how the themes in BvS come across. “The Arthurian legends are mythological and about heroes, and so is the story of Superman” is valid, but I personally don’t think just pointing that out and doing nothing further with it makes a movie smart, but it seems from (the full version of, not just the twitter post) that quote that Snyder does, and it’s certainly not the first place I’ve seen that take. I think it’s fair to refute. He's saying that you get more out of the movie if you engage a bit with it. Like the spear for instance. Most obviously, it works as a reference to the spear of longinus, which makes Superman into a messiah character and Batman into Longinus, the roman soldier who was blind but got his eyesight back when the blood of jesus splashed on him, and then became a devout believer, which then carries into JL in a big way. It also plays into Batmans delusion about being a St George-esque knight/hunter figure out to slay what he thinks is an evil dragon. And it also works as a reference to the sword as alexander that was used to cut the gordian knot, Batman uses violence to get rid of an intractable problem, except that the sword of alexander we saw earlier in the movie is a fake, just like Batmans solution to the gordian knot is ultimately proven false. And then the sword of alexander is also a punny reference to Batman himself, because Luthor manipulates Batman into becoming his weapon/sword and into acting against Superman And this is just about the stupid spear. And the threads tie into other threads! The messiah thing ties into the perception of Superman as god and supermans obvious discomfort at being deified which ties into his bluecollar immigrant background which ties into class war against billionaires which ties into Silicon Valley dorks using media as a weapon which ties into etc etc etc etc. There's alot of stuff you can dig into here and I personally can talk about this forever, because BvS is a real clever movie in that way. You might not consider it "deep" but it sure as hell is layered. McCloud fucked around with this message at 00:57 on May 11, 2023 |

I think it's also noteworthy that not only is there a nonbinary actor in the ensemble cast, the character they're playing is also nonbinary, which is rather refreshingly straightforward instead of just hinting at it or queerbaiting

Grendels Dad posted:Ugh. Cyborg is clearly Frankenstein, I'm not even going to go into why. Batman is the Wolfman, both because of the animal theme and because he becomes a snarling rear end in a top hat that is really who he needs to be. Superman is Dracula because he has a bitching cape and has a special relationship to the sun. Flash is Peter Cushin because he is wherever he needs to be. Batman is dracula and i will fight anyone who claims differently, I feel super strongly about this

What's Batman weak to, bullets? Superficial?! There's like 4 qualities that all batmen have 1: Rich 2: Bat motif (with kickass cape) 3: Works at night 4: Gadgets And dracula ticks 3 of those. 3! How many does Superman match? 0, that's how many! If anything he's the polar opposite of a dracula. He's powered by sunlight, for gods sake! Me right now

Beat me to it. I was honestly surprised to see a Batman that has one night stands and washes painkillers down with wine, there's almost no version of Batman that gets drunk and fucks random women. At most he enjoys a glass of scotch or whisky or something, and keeps his sexual encounters to rooftops with other masked weirdos.

GoldStandardConure posted:I didn't see Man of Steel when it came out, as I just wasn't particularly interested in a Superman movie. Reading the comic book movie thread began to pique my interest in the movie though, and someone (I forget who) said that MoS was very much 'the idea of God is comforting, the reality of God is terrifying' and that was what made me track it down and watch it. So what'd you think

FilthyImp posted:It is defined as: Mister Miracle is notably immune to it because he possessed the life equation. Yes yes, comic books, I know. Bogus Adventure posted:Originally, the Forever People (God, I love Jack Kirby names and concepts!) explained the Anti-Life title as being that if someone has complete control over you, then you aren't really alive. You're just an automaton, an appendage acting out someone else's desires. If life is about freedom and choice, then this power is the antithesis of it. Right. To be alive is to have choice, freedom, the will to choose and to act. The anti-life strips all this away, removing everything that makes us not only human, but living at all. It's no secret that Darkseid was created as the platonic ideal of a fascist, the ur-dictator, and the anti-life neatly ties in to that, because part of what makes fascism so evil and horrendous is the way it demands conformity and intolerance of free will.

The character of Darkseid embodies and revels in all evils, to a degree that even his most ardent followers (most of whom were nazi-like in one way or another) struggle to comprehend because it's mystical. But his most favorite kind of evil is for others to be subject to his will - in thought as well as deed. It pleases him to see people being evil, because he is evil, and that's his will manifesting in them; it pleases him to see people despairing, because he is despair; and so forth. Excellent post
