re: The infamous "Martha" scene in Batman v. Superman

I hate this movie. Why am I rewatching it? Every scene is fricking terrible.

Because this movie has become disaster porn for you guys. It has really fricked with your equilibrium. Although the film was by no means good, it has become enjoyable to read over and over and over again on this board how much you hate it. It simply disappointed me, not triggered me. But we've all got opinions... Roll On

Lois find "the bullet"

Forgot about that. Luthor uses a prototype bullet to frame Superman to kill people. Not only does it not make sense that Superman would kill people by shooting them, but those bullets can also be immediately traced back to Luthor himself. Brilliant plan for the world's smartest man.

Like why are they honoring him? Seriously it's ridiculous bullshite.

"All hail the man who almost ended the world by his presence, lead to the deaths of millions, constantly destroyed government and personal property because he's an a-hole, held the world hostage to his every whim, and hated being a hero."

There should be celebration on the streets that he's dead, not build a god damn memorial for him. He was a top grade a-hole, and from the disaster that was Man of Steel, it should have been easy to make Luthor rightfully hate him.

You know what would have made the apocalyptic vision in the future work: If Luthor also had that vision. Say both he and Batman had it, Luthor is fighting with Batman against Superman's army, Luthor discovers that Bruce Wayne and Batman are one in the same, and then he convinces Bruce Wayne to try and kill Superman for him, and he's morally rightfully scared of what Superman can do. The corny line "the Red Capes are coming" would make sense with this.

Instead Batman murders 30 of his employees, somehow Luthor knows Batman is Bruce Wayne, and the producers just said "frick it".

Lex says "If you kill me, Martha dies, or you fly away, Martha dies. And Lex gives him an hour and then just leaves. And instead of going and getting her. He goes to fight Batman. This movie is so fricking stupid


To me this was worse than the Martha nonsense. Superman can't try to save his Mom or Lex will kill her. Yet, Batman can go and takes several minutes fighting a ton of guys yet they didn't execute Superman's Mom?

It's so convoluted that you really bend over backwards to try to make sense of it (as in, how did they design it to go in writing)...

Superman could have very simply listened for his mom's voice, and when he heard her, did basically the same exact thing he did in the beginning of the movie (in the desert). Locate, exterminate, extract.

Afterwards, spend the next minute tracking Lex down, and end him (or if he's incredibly forgiving to a guy who tossed his babe off a tower and threatened to kill his mom, spend 10 minutes dropping him off at the FBI headquarters, with the remains of the bomb used in the Capitol, and various other bits of evidence).

Another 10 minutes to drop off a beer to Batman and tell him to chill the frick out and go back to Gotham.

The movie was fricking terrible, and inside you know this as well.

We move on.
