>>212512658>These characters aren’t that complicated.That's my problem, Snyder very desperately wants you to think these characters are "deep" without actually putting in any of the effort or worldbuilding to do so. If it were just a straight-up Dark Knight Returns adaptation, that would be great; but it isn't.
>Superhero movies are just action movies with some fairy dust of themSome are and some aren't, it all depends on the type of hero and the type of story you want to tell. It's very obvious to me judging by what Snyder says about his movies and what the Indians who worship him say about them that he very much wants you to take his movies seriously and at face value, which I do (and think they're really shitty as a result, especially when compared to the types of movies he wants his to be compared to).
>I remember not liking the Affleck castingBecause he is a middle-aged alcoholic with a beer gut who has no screen presence or charisma at all in stark contrast to Bale who has it in spades despite the meme voice?
>you won’t rewatch because you’re scared you’ll like itNo, I won't rewatch it because I grew out of 2010s Superhero movies years ago and have an intense, deep-seated resentment for their impact/influence on the American film industry and popular culture whether it be Snyderslop or MCU crap. I won't watch that shit again until I reach middle age and start feeling nostalgic for it given it'll tragically inevitably be better than whatever Indian AI atrocities will be passing as "film" by then.
