re: Obtuse Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice TD review thread (SPOILERS p5+)

Ok yes, in my haste to write up my feelings on this I mixed security guard Lieutenant Dan up with Michael Cassidy who I've seen in things like The OC. Big whoop. Sorry for mixing up two generic looking actors that were in incredibly minor roles.

The point still stands that I was watching the credits and Jimmy Olsen's name came up and I was shocked that he was in the movie as the dude that got his face shot off and wasn't even given the courtesy of being named on screen.

So spare me with your flippant "u mad" garbage.

Again, the point is it was an asinine thing to do and is a perfect example of Snyder's attitude towards the property he is working with. It was a blatant, childish, and pointless middle finger to fans of DC overall and Superman comics in specific.

That specific moment is not even the focus of why I thought the movie was mediocre but it is one of many examples of Snyder either not understanding or not caring about the source material. The simple fact that he said doing that was "having fun with the character" is a complete joke and makes him sound like a troll.

No, I'm really not. They were both in the movie and I simply mixed the names up. I actually avoided as much press about the flick going in as I could b/c I didn't want anything to be spoiled. I had absolutely no idea JO was in the movie until I saw his name in the credits.

and who played them literally has nothing to do with my problem with Snyder doing that to a character like Jimmy Olsen.

That's because BvS is like a disease...infecting competent fans and movie goers with disappointment and rage.

Just saw it

It was great

The movie was amazing IMO. It is one of the few to depict Superheroes IRL. I can watch marvel and everything else and get my jollies.

But taking the two most legendary sacred cows and having the drama played out for real with real consequences is epic.

Zack Snyder just underestimated how many people preferred the fantasies and flowers of Christopher Reeves Superman of the '80's, who never punched anyone, and preferred soap opera-esque drama, much like the critics

Or he sucks at telling a coherent story. Look, I'm glad I saw BvS on the big screen, but it was far from amazing.

And just because you enjoy it doesn't mean it isn't flawed, or even a good movie. I like lots of terrible movies, just not this one.

Serious question, are you Zack Snyder?

You want a fantasy, how about Batman launching an elaborate plan to take down Superman and being on the cusp of achieving his goals when he learns Superman's mother's name, and stops?

Now that is a fantasy.
