Yes, we are in a culture war; a psychological war; a war of ideas; a magical war.
Creativity is the transcendental seeping down into the mind of the dreamer. Making a film means manifesting living thoughts (egregores) into our realm and spreading it into the minds of others.
Snyder and Terrio sought to elevate and resonate, to remind the world of higher ideals worth fighting for. Why did Snyder go so dark and so brutal? Because his heroes were literally going to battle against the forces of evil; mourning at the fragility of life and bleeding so that beauty can persist another day.
Gunn's glib sociopathy seeks to descend and humiliate. Tearing down our idols and pursuing a relentless campaign of self-insistent lies. Gunn's slop represents a mockery of honesty; tedious cringe that empties the soul as well as the mind. It stands for nothing, teaches no lessons, and serves no higher purpose.
The blatant thievery of numerous plot points from MoS and BvS, especially by a Marvel-ite like Gunn, serves to further reinforce the theory that Superman (2025) is a cultural hit job and an attempt to rewrite, replace, and erase what came before.
We ARE in a culture war; a war of the mind, of creativity, and of magic. And the slop, and its slop-makers, are the opponents.
