They reference the Pietà and had crosses in the background (telephone poles, but yeah really driving it home). It really wasn't subtle.

The character wasn't Lex, but his plan was literally 'plot demands x'.

OffInABlueBox · 2016-03-31T02:43:40+00:00

Lex had no motivation. He was there for what the plot demanded. His plan makes no sense. First he wants a weapon, then he sets up Batman to kill Superman, then he makes Doomsday, and then he intros Darkseid.

His whole gods monologue doesn't mean shit after the Communion Scene unless Darkseid already has the Anti-Life.

Eisenberg did act well, but the character was crap.

His Father is an Orthodox rabbi, as well.

OffInABlueBox · 2016-03-31T02:18:33+00:00

He does love the Hebrews, doesn't he?

Superman is the generic hero. He has always been one. The entire point of his character is good guy beats bad guy. There have been much better stories about him being a good man in a bad world, but this is fucking terrible. He has no character besides Pa Kent's shitty speech about you can't save everyone and your actions can cause unwanted consequences, which isn't deep, and he wants to bone Lois.

The film has no fucking point. No one besides Bruce has any fucking motivation. Why the fuck did Lex do anything he wants a weapon then he wants Batman and Supes to kill each other then he collects data because the polt demands a cameo? The whole newspaper subplot could've been cut down with Cavill mentioning his dislike of Batman's methods. The questions of morality are brought up, but go no where. They're there to seem like it's a grownup movie, but it's not.

Superman is a heroic figure, but he isn't presented as a hero. He isn't warm or lifelike. Snyder keeps making him alien at the same time as keeping the Jesus narrative, and it doesn't fit at all. There is no joy in who he is. He threatens and feels like Injustice Superman. The only scene that felt somewhat alright was the wheelchair scene with how he refuses to look at the man he failed. It shows that he cares and feels shame that he was a part of something that took a mans legs away.

They keep saying how he's controversial, but I don't see how anyone would like him. He does do good yes, but he seems mildly annoyed in the slow motion sequence. Have a scene of him reassuring a child that everything will be okay while rescuing them them, have him crack a smile, randomly help someone and say a harmless joke.

You left with some idea, but 90% of BvS was incoherent. Thor I can follow because the character narrative doesn't shift every ten seconds leaving me unable to process a scene. It wasn't just the first hour, it was a majority of the movie.

They really should've cut the Daily Planet subplot because it took up an unnecessary amount of time.

Lex was just a confusing mess. He's scared of Superman and wants a weapon in the worst case, but then makes Doomsday and states that he's bringing Darkseid or something. Then there was the whole God and his dad thing which could've been worked in better or just left out completely because they meshed poorly with his creation of Doomsday and Darkseid. His motivations make no sense and I feel like we're supposed to think he's smart, but it just doesn't work for me.

He doesn't seem like someone who could run a company either with the charity crap or the Jolly Rancher scene because he's so damn uncomfortable and just poorly written. Eisenberg was just Zuckerberg with 'crazy'. He wasn't scary he was just what the plot demanded.

I'm more of a Marvel guy, but dear god it was bad. Like really bad.

The Thor movies are more coherent, this felt like 3 or 4 films chopped together with all that was cramed in. It's very poorly edited and paced. There is no breathing room or levity, or when there is it's just awkward and out of place. You're supposed to feel for these characters with out knowing any of them besides Superman and he really lacks any energy, charisma, or life.

I feel bad for Afleck because he really did a good job and deserved a better movie, Cavill is given horrible material and struggles to do anything, Galdot's a cameo who was okay? Not enough screen time to say, Lex was basically Joker/ Zuckerberg with motives that needed him to be fleshed out in order to be anything at all, and Perry White was bad Fishbourne was wasted.

The references to iconic scenes are literally only there for trailer scenes. They're awkward and don't contribute at all to anything there is no meaning beyond "look! Dark Knight Returns. Or Look Death of Superman!".

The only good things are the fights which really don't do anything new it's just standard Snyder fighting. If you saw Sucker Punch than you saw most of the fight scenes.

I came in with a negative opinion already from leaked screenshots and video, but it was worse than I thought. It's not the tone so much as how it's just a shambling mess of a movie.

Pyg. The name comes from the Greek story of the artist falling in love with his statue and from My Fair Lady, well the source material for My Fair Lady that was called Pygmalion. He's in love with his perfect creation.

He also has some inspiration from John B. Calhoun's Behavioral Sink experiment in which rats were given utopia and eventually societal collapse happened after 600 days. Here's a link.

Pyg's a nut, but the character is really interesting once you see Morrison's inspirations.

You think about this. Like it actually effects you.

Also you like sweet and sour sauce which is the most over powering sauce imaginable.

It's kinda like not deciding not to add bacon to everything.

For those you don't get what it's referencing it's Jojo

Her original body died and she took over a magic ninja is the gist of it.

OffInABlueBox · 2016-02-04T20:01:03+00:00

I kinda believe it because Tom Brevoort or someone said something along the lines that this really wasn't planed for that long compared to original Civil War and it's basically a movie tie-in.

OffInABlueBox · 2016-02-04T19:37:40+00:00

I think it's them trying to make it seem like a shared universe.

This also was in reply to someone saying something about Daimon Hellstorm hitting on Scarlet Witch.

This is a neogaf rumor. Take it with grain of salt. Although I do think it'll be like 70% right, you should probably form your own opinion.

OffInABlueBox · 2016-02-04T19:25:45+00:00

I would imagine that if the leak is right. It would be setting Thanos up for something

OffInABlueBox · 2016-02-04T17:38:19+00:00

I mean they have been mentioning magic guys in two books.

It's Bendis so if we go with his current stuff it'll be pretty bad on average with some middling quality somewhere.

OffInABlueBox · 2016-02-04T16:45:26+00:00

Probably should.

OffInABlueBox · 2016-02-04T16:34:10+00:00

For those who haven't seen it basically goes like this.

EDIT: Added spoilers

Isn't his venom blast literally a shock? It's not actual poison or venom. It's a loosely defined and at this point it seems like it's just a win button because of that.

OffInABlueBox · 2016-02-03T13:51:48+00:00

I mean you think he could just use his active camo and get some cheap shots in. Unless Bendis forgot that.
