Why can I remember this so clearly, but every line of dialogue in the new Superman washes over my like water off a duck's back? Why did they make Superman into such a mediocre, forgettable film? What was the plan? To make infantile films for an infantile time?

A better comparison would be something from Man of Steel or that's said by or said to Clark/Superman, and not a line from the Batman side of BvS

It's a setup with no payoff, where the rationale for
>stop, invincible son
Is that "The world isn't ready for Superman," but then everything is subsumed by an alien invasion and we're never really shown what them becoming ready for him, or adjusting to him, would look like

>>212796691
Nah, because Superman is primarily interesting in how others are defined by him, not by himself.

>>212796846
That's because it sets up BvS and Clark's hesitation to be a global icon. That's the major gripe I do hear and read about people on Snyder Superman in that Superman should never doubt being Superman, he's not allowed to have a self-identity crisis.

>>212796324 (OP)
>? Why did they make Superman into such a mediocre, forgettable film?
I hste Snyder, but I admit he tried to create MYTH.
Gunn just create MEME.

>>212796846
The ultimate payoff to the Superman Question is Justice League. It's people realizing that the entire game has changed for humanity and that they are stronger forces out there that humanity is barely equipped to manage, which is where Superman or in a broader sense "metahumans" come about. In Snyder's films, Superman was the official debut for metahumans and people realizing globally that they exist.

>>212797218
>they are
there are*

I'm thankful that children today have a superman who actually helps people and animals who are in danger.

I would feel uncomfortable showing my family Man of Steel and telling them it's a Superman movie. They would think about the retarded dialogue like "Maybe let those kids die" or the "Stop, my invincible son" moment.

I would feel pretty good about showing people in my family Superman '25. It hits all the Superman notes and is inoffensive.

It's also completely forgettable. It's like showing them the Star Wars Sequels instead of starting with the Prequels. Do you want CINEMA or an American cartoon where all the bad guys have parachutes and nobody dies?

>>212798089
The only people that die in Man of Steel are the ones killed by Superman

Snyder made Superman too dark. Cavill did his best to make him a kind person, but the script was shit

yeah i get a weird uncanny valley effect from this new superman, i didn't feel it watching the film but when i look at stills of him i feel strange

>>212797218
Also, that metahumans are in the cosmic sense descended from god-like beings. In the flashback to Darkseid's first arrival, we see what look like Olympian gods.

Also, i remember someone mentioning the theory that all the humanoid species, the Kryptonians, the Atlantians, the Amazonians, and the Humans, are all human-looking and able to interbreed because they are all descendants of the same common ancestors species.

>snyder literally called clark the alter ego and superman the real person you tardo.
Post the source because i know you're lying.

Snyder's effort was to show Superman as a human being first. This person who's just a guy and thus doesn't know all the answers nor isn't perfect. He can't be at two places at the same time, he can't save everyone, and he is bound to make mistakes.
The problem is that everyone created this image of him in their heads even without knowing him and are making a mess out of things. They see what they want to see.
Snyder's Superman is the most human and flawed Superman there could be.

>>212798089
If I want CINEMA I'm not gonna watch Man of Steel lmao

>>212799183
No, i don't think so.
I was okay with the actor from the recent show and that guy isn't any model.
I think the problem is the visual clash where they want to make you remember of the classic Superman, of the 70s Superman, but at the same time you've this costume with the basketball texture and full of random lines straight from the MCU that isn't even form fitting. The hairdo also doesn't help.

What i mean to say is that it feels fake, feels inauthentic.

>>212796324 (OP)
I can't wait until F4 releases so we can stop talking about this movie.

>>212799268
i agree but i don't mind the lack of form fitting, muscle padding is dogshit, affleck looked stupid, form fit sure but no muscle padding, this looks good around the arms

>>212799524
The problem here are the random lines. They are there to mimic the muscle areas and fit better on a muscled body. So if you're going to add those awful, distracting lines you might as well have the costume fit the actor's body and be tight enough.

Now if you wanted a looser costume, why not just go with simple cloth and have it be loose on the actor's body? It would have worked so much better visually. It would give this simple and chill vibe.

But having such a manufactured looking costume full of those professional texture and those lines meant to better fit an athlete's body, and make it all baggy and loose just creates this visual clash that tells your eyes that something is off. Like a cosplayer buying a brand-designed cosplay from Amazon that just doesn't fit the cosplayer's body the same way it did the actual actor's body in the movie.

>>212796846
>It's a setup with no payoff, where the rationale for
What the fuck are you talking about the entire payoff is the formation of the Justice League

>>212799684
yeah, and ma kent is the one who made it in this universe? which would make sense why it looks like cosplay but then why does Kara have an identical suit? only heres looks less baggy

>>212799718
>formation of the Justice League
that only came into existence because he fucking died in his second film (half his film)

and they were useless without him and had to bring him back

>>212799742
Ma Kent made this? That can't be possible. Does she work for Nike in this universe? This looks professionally made, as in a factory, using a design made by think-heads researching hard into aerodynamics, and sweat, and shit like that.

>>212799796
i dunno, i read somewhere on twitter and it had a link to a james gunn thing, i obviously didn't click it and kept scrolling, i don't remember anything in the film implying she made the costume, she knows how to clean it i guess.

now i'm just looking at the super girl suit, and it's fitted so i don't get why superman's suit isn't as fitted

Superman saving the world by himself in a messy way, Waller testing Task Force X/Suicide Squad as a backup plan, Batman and WW's different perspective on being a hero to mankind, all led to forming the Justice League. If it wasn't clear to you, then blame WB for fucking up the storyline with rushed rewrites and hiring Whedon and Geoff Johns

>>212800395
That is in the montage that ends with a guy pretty much saying what this version is all about.

>“The fact is, maybe he's not some sort of devil or Jesus character. Maybe he's just a guy trying to do the right thing."

Don't worry. James Gunn will only greenlight new DC movies if the script is good. Did his Superman film have easily the worst script of any Superman film, including but not limited to Superman IV? Yes. But he's James Gunn. He can do no wrong.

Superman started out fucked up in MoS. There was no going back from Superman literally letting his own father die in a random category 5 hurricane touching down in a buttfuck nowhere highway in Kansas. Seriously, what the fuck was that thing? Nobody ever mentions that. It was like some sort of War of the Worlds thing and it turns out Snyder was calling it just a standard ass hurricane that could've happened anywhere. I am losing my mind thinking about all the retarded shit in this movie. Superman's family drove straight into it. Holy fuck

Kudos anon, but fuck that monologue sucked so much. It felt like rehearsed speech instead of a spur of the moment reflection. It felt completely wrong for him to talk like that in the middle of a confrontation with Lex. Then they undercut the whole thing by having Krypto attack Lex. If Snyder was in charge, Lex would have had a counterargument, something to deflate Superman's feel-good bullshit a little bit. But Gunn thinks he can sidestep all the thematic holes he's creating the same way he can evacuate a city of millions in 5 minutes so nobody dies. Compare that Saturday Morning platitude to the existential doubt of Snyder Superman:
>All this time I've been living my life the way my father saw it. Righting wrongs for a ghost, thinking I'm here to do good. Superman was never real. Just the dream of a farmer from Kansas.
This entirely film feels like a Reddit nerd writing a seething post about how BvS was wrong. Overly verbose (Superman talks WAY, WAY too much, yet very little he says is memorable) and determined to ground Superman in the pedestrian, in the mediocre.

it's Gunn's tongue and cheek way of saying his superman will not be cynical, jaded, nihilistic about the world, he will be kind, he will be naive, even gullable because he wants to see the best in people, today people see these things as "being weak" or not worth it. He's not making an evil superman, or a realistic superman, or a god superman or another fucking homelander, he's making superman

But this movie is mainstream and normie and generic as fuck. What is he talking about? It's no different to something like Blue Beetle.

>>212801543
It's mythology whether you like it or not. It's obvious from these never ending fanboy wars that people treat these characters like literal religious icons, even the supposed secularists. Snyder was the only one bold enough to actually confront this fact head on. You're also probably too young to remember, but before the MCU turned these movies into assembly line slop, they looked and felt like actual CINEMA and not shitty TV shows.

>>212801544

That isn't helping your argument. That contrived bullshit just makes it worse. Superman never has to face consequences for anything because it's all just contrived bullshit where he never has to make hard choices or kill. It's autistic manchild nerd writing.

Zack Snyder is a Paul W.S. Anderson fan (which is ironic because he's the modern Richard Lester) but regardless Anderson really likes the idea of characters who don't talk much.

Water off a duck's back is not an Indian idiom. It's a British/Anglo thing. Ducks have waxy feathers so when you spray them with water, everything slides off. Aptly describes the experience of watching Suicide Squad 2021 or Superman 2025. A bunch of things happen, it's all so bland and generic and nothing sticks in the mind. It slides over you instead of soaking in. You walk out of the theater thinking about what a nothing of a movie you just saw.

Watching The Suicide Squad was like having a constant sense of deja vu like i had already seen that movie.

I don’t rewatch shit movies, and I like Superman trying to prevent unnecessary damage to the city and world he swore to protect

>>212801883
yeah but the difference is that superman rises above it, whether he's going through a media crisis, a romance crisis, a identity crisis, he still chooses to do the right thing because it's who he is.
his father John, has to remind him that what he wanted that message from JorEl to mean is more important that what it said, Superman is who he is because he chooses to be, not because he was destined to be.

Snyder's superman is indecisive throughought almost the entire film, regularly has to be talked into doing the right thing like turning himself in, by a priest, saving people by the ghost of his father or by a ghost of his biological father
>im not sure humanity deserves it, can be trusted
>no one stays good in this world
and even when he chooses to do the right thing it's mostly cause of Lois Lane, he even TURNS FUCKING EVIL BECAUSE DARKSEID KILLS HER.

meanwhile Superman is going through what is basically a breakup and still having faith in humanity and turning himself in to save a fucking dog

>>212801188
this can’t be real

>>212802069
>prevent unnecessary damage to the city and world he swore to protect
NONON you don't get it
Sneeder superman was going to be like that but only at the last 10 min of the last movie , you know , hero's path and that aka KINOOO!!!

>>212801954
It was SUPPOSED to be a hurricane. It was a literal category 5 with how it looked in the film, you stupid Snyderfag retard

That's called having a moment of doubt or personal crisis, and it always ends with Clark doing some soul searching and rising above it. It's just that in the Snyder's movies Superman is more affected by things, as a realistic person, and the situation is allowed to play itself.

In the new movie things just get resolved instantly. Just because.

>>212802253
>called having a moment of doubt
nigga

>>212802327
That's Superman after losing Lois and being infected by the Anti-Life Equation, that strips someone of their free will.

>>212802253
>Just because.
I can tell your parent walked out on you.

>>212802371
People go from hating Superman to loving Superman at the drop of a hat in the movie.

>>212802253
his whole character is a moment of doubt

>>212802347

>>212802390
The hate is literally generated by a bunch of monkeys.

>>212801973
>Why are the same people complaining that superman is too weak also complaining that he's actually strong enough to hold back at whim to incapacitate people he doesn't want to kill.
He doesn't hold back, though. The films just pulls "rubber explosions" over and over and cuts to shots of people completely unharmed so manchildren can feel good and we can sigh because these movies used to be made for adults.

>>212802390
Gunn is clearly making a statement on how people’s social media habits. Our society has become extremely fickle.

>>212802458
Were the people throwing shit at him after he just saved them monkeys in disguise?

>>212802117
>and even when he chooses to do the right thing it's mostly cause of Lois Lane, he even TURNS FUCKING EVIL BECAUSE DARKSEID KILLS HER.
To be clear, it's because muh anti-life equation. That old chestnut.

>>212796324 (OP)
>"Hey! Eyes up here!"
>"He's probably cold and alone"
By the way that was a phrased by Alfred to Batman. It's not even in the superman movie

>>212802483
Knowing Lex, it could be lmao. Beside, people aren't hivemind. Some random jeet got killed because he still sided with Superman.

>>212802347
I’m supposed to believe that if Lois died this guy wouldn’t give up on humanity????

He literally tried to kill people when he came back from the dead and was only stopped by Lois

>>212802578
He had no fucking memories.
And the whole thing with Darkseid was to build upon the idea of free will vs mind control/no will. This goes back to MoS and Zod.
Darkseid wants to control everyone and everything. He wants to strip people of their free will and turn them into automatons. He preys on emotional weakness and trauma. Superman would be a victim in a moment of vulnerability, but then would be helped to regain his will and would then fight the representation of oppression and control as the champion of free will.

That was essentially Snyder's thesis on American and its greatest virtue: freedom.

>>212802666
Jesus Christ

>>212802860
You'd have Superman leading soldiers, cops, old ladies carrying riffles. It'd be American as fuck. Superman just leading this huge army against literal zombies. Everyone armed to their teeth exploding zombies heads and shit.

>American and its greatest virtue: freedom
WHEEZE
You guys can't even drink until 21.

>>212802465
I know the exact scene you mean and agree it was shit, takes you out of the film because you can hear gunn whip out a megaphone and say "LOOK THIS SUPERMAN SAVES PEOPLE, DOESN"T SNYDERMAN SUCK" when the film otherwise does a kind superman very sincerely.
That said, it doesn't change the fact that superman emasculated in this movie but just up against superman with retard strength.

>>212802910

>>212801635
Well yeah, it’s called a hearing, not a speaking

>>212799183
It’s because he’s jewish

>>212803061
What's wrong with you? You don't want to see soldiers, paramedics, cops, old people, all armed and killing aliens? It'd be like the old Transformers movies. And above them all there is Superman just wrecking shit and killing aliens by the score. Everything this huge mayhem. Maybe even have someone on a speaker blowing the something patriotic.

>>212798985
they can't afford glue or double stitching on krypton?

>>212801104
i watched the movie yesterday and i don't remember anything except the goddamn mister terrific coz it made me think gunn is probably an atheist

>>212801357
i think that is also part of the joke, gunn is very meta humor oriented.
there's always 2 layers to his movies, the "sincere way" aka movie for retard normies and then the "cynical meta" aka the way gunn actually thinks.
people who think the punk rock reference is an unironic phrase are the ones gunn is dunking on - it's like a big joke to him.
the guy who was making pedo jokes and shooting low budget funnies with pornstars is in charge of superman - no way gunn would let superman just be a sincere movie.
same reason he put guy gardner in there
