Buzzfeed interview - Snyder says he killed him off for the same reason he killed Jimmy Olson off, that he's boring…

They also did Fury Road, if you can believe it.

Gay couple & gay cop in the Zootopia trailers.

And because this is a comic-book fantasy movie, the buildings will not fall down due to his reckless disregard for physics and human experiences!

WE ARE READY FOR YOU, INSECT OVERLORDS!!

Also explicitly anti-imperialist & colonialist - Saruman flat out says that he as a literate technocrat shouldn't have to respect people who live in grass huts with simple tools and oral traditions — sound familiar? But Tolkien directed that at the ancestors of the modern English, by way of Beowulf, to make the point.…

OH GOOD GRIEF! I just realized that was Lucas' attempt at reverse-foreshadowing — the end of Star Wars where Vader's TIE goes spinning off into the distance…

Also shiny, shiny skyscrapers!

In front of slow-motion explosions…

People were joking that this might be the case, after the trailer for BvS:DoJ that had Ma Kent making like Maggie Thatcher and telling Clark he didn't owe the planet that had given him life a single thing.

No, that should be the Westmark books. Super dark, AU-18th century with minimal fantasy elements, but a strong emphasis on tech, and young people as revolutionaries.

Zootopia works very well as a Watch AU.

The books are the Basil of Baker Street series, & imo much, much better. (No stripper w leering drunks, either.)

Remember him whining that weaving was "women's work"? That series was WAY ahead of its time. (Also the bleakness of war - but Alexander was a WWII veteran.)

It isn't awesome if you loved the books.

They actually talk about how to do better and how to apologize, in Zootopia! It's like they heard ALL the criticism over the decades, and decided to listen instead of mocking the critics…

READ THEM AGAIN. They are beautiful and deceptively deep.

At least she isn't hugely busty. That's how you can tell her character wasn't designed by furries.
