I don’t think that’s true. I’ve seen explanations as to why Superman’s “disguise” is better than it would appear to human perception (massive posture and personality differences to dissuade people from even checking, Though I’ll note that MoS doesn’t really show that, either), but I’ve never seen a reason why he…
Oh! I get it! The joke is that Kotaku is (let me know if I get this wrong) “SJW Shills” who will never be satisfied with anything?

Dear Literally Anyone Who Ever Makes A Batman Film In The Future,
Why are we surprised that the sequel to Man of Steel would be just as bad, if not worse? Cuz we’re not just dragging Supes down into the gutter, but pretty much the entire DCU as well. I don’t want my Superman film to be DARK AND BROODING. I want it colorful. I want it vibrant. I want it to give me a sense of hope and…
Um, I think you’ve gravely misunderstood my post. You’re essentially agreeing with me... I have been very staunchly opposed to the idea of viewers turning off the brain and never looking at anything with a critical eye. I don’t know how you got the impression that I meant the opposite...
Why? Some of them are great. The Dark Knight. Batman 1988. Captain America 2. Iron Man. Deadpool. The Matrix, to some extent. Your attitude is as snobbish as it is unjustified.
Wow. That’s not what’s going on at all. People went in expecting McDonalds, and are complaining that they got a burger made of overcooked, flavourless “beef”, a stale bun, and ketchup that’s a few months past its best before date.
There’s a vast and healthy middle ground between mindless entertainment and intellectual fulfillment.

Fantastical silliness? What in the world are you talking about? Comic books have regularly tackled heavy hitting issues, and while most of the time historically they take a less serious aspect, this hasn’t been the case for 30 years! We’re not talking about a Dora the Explorer or Blues Clues movie, we’re talking about…
Captain America: The Winter Soldier, The Dark Knight, V for Vendetta just off the top of my head were all reasonably smart, compelling movies that touched on the political and cultural zeitgeist without losing anything in their cool action sequences.
Good thing it’s not a zero sum situation - movies can have both cool and good fights and a story that isn’t insultingly stupid. In fact a good story makes cool and good fights cooler and gooder, because you care about the characters!
That mentality is the reason Paul Blart: Mall Cop made almost $200,000,000 total box office, and in the process proved to me definitively that there is no god.
I hate this mentality.
If you thought Age of Ultron was bad then I’d wager you’ll poke your eyes out with rusty spoons by the end of this one.
