Guys I think I need help, I saw Batman V. Superman over the weekend and I didn’t.......... hate it...

Lego Batman is the hero we need, Batfleck is the hero we deserve.

“...and I felt like this film actively hated me.”

But there are movies and other forms of art that touch on all of those things in much more compelling fashion, and again, it still all boils down to “Good guys vs bad guys” when you get right down to it.

I feel like people are watching these movies for all the wrong reasons. Like, turn off your fucking brain and enjoy the superhuman slugfest for what it is, and then turn your brain back on afterwards.

I do wonder if this review is more just a reflection of the binary society we’ve grown into. Things are either OMG THE BEST EVER or Complete and total dumpster fire. There is rarely in between. I wasn’t going into this expecting the greatest cinematic experience of mine or anybody else’s life. Is it enjoyable? Can I…

It’s like if Frank Quitely and Frank Miller collaborated. I can’t decide if I love it or hate it.

I’ll take something like this, thanks.

It’s almost as if the entire Star Wars series is based on traditional story tropes and archetypes that are hundreds if not thousands of years old. Who would have thought!

I'm glad. These have been interesting and (sometimes) fruitful experiments with the characters, and hopefully serve to prevent them from getting too mired in the established storylines, but at the end of the day, that's exactly what they were: experiments.

After X many decades of comics, the only rational response is probably “just repeat to yourself ‘it’s just a comic, I should really just relax.’”

Or Terry McGinnis

I’d say it’s for the best in both cases. Bruce Wayne is Batman, there’s no one else who can hold the mantle unless their names are “Dick Grayson” or “Tim Drake”. The Superheavy storyline has been interesting, a departure from the norm, but it six months in it still feels like it’s just another attempt from a major…

He has unpopular political beliefs now, so we have to pretend he was a no talent, racist hack his entire life.

So the totality of a person’s life amounts to nothing because they end up shitting their pants and drooling before checking out?

Man, the grey and blue batsuit is awesome.
