Just from browsing 4chan I've seen: >Lex Luthor >not Israel at war with not Palestine >Superman clones >Hawk tuah girl >Supergirl >escape from a black hole accompanied by CGI diarrhea >Lois Lane >Mr. Terrific Just seems like an absolute crapshoot of characters and plot points
>>213874316 The drawback was needing an entire command center just to tell him how to punch. Also he hates Superman, why would he make more than necessary?
>>213874174 The 1A part was good. But you dk shit about why he even hates superman. I hate cloning or twin plots in movies. Throws off the powerscaling so bad
>>213874453 Has James Gunn considered showing not fan specualting

>>213874454 Literally just one more wouldn't be that much more of a hassle and would have terminated "Super"man 100%. He was literally lucky to get past the one
>>213874093 (OP) Or, why didn't he just lure superman into the pocket universe then close the portals and destroy the machines that can create the portals? Seems like that would have been a whole lot easier
>>213874329 If you actually watched the movie, you'd know it's all interconnected. >Lex Luthor hates Superman but the world loves him >Lex Luthor hatches a plan to bait Superman into attacking a US ally >Lex Luthor then covertly gives the US Ally, Ultraman disguised as a disgruntled citizen of that country >Ultraman beats and humiliates Superman, forcing Superman to flee to the Fortress of Solitude >Lex follows him there and destroys it and steals data about his parents, which he leaks to the public to ruin Superman's reputation >Superman has to deal with Ultraman physically matching him, the media smearing him because of his parents and his foreign interventions, and his cousin's missing dog which Lex kidnapped to make Superman further unhinged in the eyes of the media >Superman willingly gives himself in to Lex so he can find Krypto >Lex informs the US ally that Superman is neutralized and they can resume their invasion. The invaded land and its spoils will be covertly split with Luthor, but Luthor doesn't really care, the whole scheme was simply to make Superman fall for his trap >Superman escapes due to the aid of the Justice Gang and goes into hiding to recover his powers which Lex drained with Kryptonite >Lex starts a natural disaster to bait Superman into coming out of hiding, then he ambushes Superman with Ultraman and the Engineer >While Superman deals with those threats + the natural disaster, the Justice Gang saves the country about to be invaded because Superman cannot be in two places at once That's it, anon. That's the plot. It does NOT go all over the place
>>213874566 >Or, why didn't he just lure superman into the pocket universe then close the portals and destroy the machines that can create the portals? Seems like that would have been a whole lot easier Because he believed the Kryptonite would be sufficient for his goal of slowly torturing Superman to death. He also didn't want to destroy the pocket dimension because he was using it for his more unsavory projects (like his prisoners, his genetically modified monkeys, his alien test subjects) and teleportation

>>213874513 If they go OG with ultraman they'd have to introduce alternate earths and other stupid shit and the movie was already packed full with exposition.
>>213874513 >why he even hates superman He literally said it outloud Lex admits superman is a stronger being, and that exposes his insecurity (and humanity's in general) But he's self aware enough to acknowledge that, and just want to fuck up superman. In short, he's a chud, a rich & smart chud who hates popular things
I speak for everyone that James Gunn should have written this into the plot

>>213874731 the one he made was a retard (like you) and he didn't want to make more of them for obvious reasons, you refute nothing other than the supposition that you are an intelligent person
>>213874761 Such obvious reasons that the one you gave isn't one, and you can't think of anything else to defend yourself despite clearly being desperate to not feel like a pseud
