re: New Batman v Superman Trailer

I never say this, but the action scenes are the most important part of this movie to me. I will forgive A LOT if I get to see some breathtaking fights with Batman and Superman and Superman and Doomsday, and I think it will deliver. I've been waiting for those scenes my entire life.

I think that's fair. This movie is being made to appeal to that specific kind of fan. I'm just not that sort of fan (for example, I found the Hulkbuster Iron Man suit to be perhaps the LEAST interesting thing about the Avengers... though I know many people were geeked up for that).

I think this movie is going to have a perfunctory plot designed to move characters from action set piece to action set piece. And, in its defense, those action set pieces, if this trailer is any indication, will be f'n awesome. But if you care about the downtime between fights, well... there better be a lot more Jeremy Irons being cool as hell.

I don't think this movie will be bad, but it's certainly not being made to appeal to me. And I still think DC's biggest problem is that they are ashamed of Superman, which is stupid. He's not edgy, he's the best of us. He's an ideal to aspire to, stop being afraid of his inherent goodness. If they do the same thing with Wonder Woman, I'm gonna f'n snap.
