Follow up to this: the full versions of the movies are also bad.
Rebel Moon is abysmal and is only tolerable because Snyder is an excellent director. Shay Hatten must not be allowed to write movie for a decade.
Zack Snyder is my favorite working director. Rebel Moon’s theatrical. It made me feel insulted that they thought they could pass that off to me. Walked out halfway through.
The critics are right.
@TEBerry2 It's been 9 years and the level of discourse about this film is still so remedial. Like, the most basic interpretation of the plot is beyond these people.
Why do they even watch movies?
@NewSalvage Where’s the sense of impact? The environmental destruction? The natural camera movement?
This isn’t DBZ; this is Solo Leveling. Just nonsense camera movements and the action not telling any kind of story. This isn’t how Toriyama drew the manga or how DBZ was animated. Bad tweet.
@kgcrossov3r This film needs to fail for the sake of humanity and all future movie going experiences. Recreating something a decade later and making it drastically worse while only listening to “fan” complaints.
@ThunderTheDevil Yes.
One is drawn by a generational creator that is credibly considered to be the greatest mangaka to ever live.
The other is drawn by a guy handling his first big serialization.
These creators are operating on wholly different levels, and it’s very clear which one will be eaten up. The one on the same level of arrested development as the audience that watches this shit.
Snyder’s take on Superman is interesting though, because he goes all the way. Man of Steel established that he had to learn to restrain himself since childhood because when he gets mad the world quakes.
So then he spends most of BvS eating shit because his very existence is
a political and existential debate. The only time he breaks and is furious is when Alex shows him the photos of his mother.
And from what I’ve seen secondhand, this James Gunn Superman is yelling at his girl because she said unilaterally stopping wars is iffy, or some shit.
@MinuteNerdNews@marxacist What a shit write up. Here is the source interview and the actual quote without some hack narrativizing. I know it’s tough for your attention span, but read:

All of this is in the context of why Watchmen is different from regular superhero junk.
@TheBatSkeptic Well Anakin isn't gonna be speaking at the local Smart Guy Convention, no. He isn't even qualified to be a valet there. But emotions are tough
@matthewjmartin_@sw_holocron You ever stop and think that maybe... just maybe, the fact that when all the veneer of civility is stripped from the evil person and they come off as offputting and unsightly as they relish in their depravity... and it makes you uncomfortable... maybe that was the point?
@_rsheedh_@now_thats_oscar Comic book "characters" aren't characters. They're symbols and names slapped on to whatever idea a writer has for a story. For every panel you give me of the serious, calm, stoic Lex, I can find one of a Lex that's prancing around like The Riddler in Schumacher's Batman.
@World_inPS1 @EckhartsLadder Yeah, dawg, politicians, space wizards and droids should really talk like normal people.
It's not a flaw. It's part of the tapestry. I could go on, but I don't really want to.
@ObscureYumes Structure your thoughts better and get to the point instead of lamenting that others don’t see what you see.
Jacques is the way he is because he’s been the one to deal with Harry’s fuck ups this entire time, and he’s been burned by him too many times. This is a defense mechanism
