If I'm being 100, like the emoji, I would love a Snyder movie about the Argus

Zack Snyder's Washington Crossing The Deleware is such a good idea and I hope to god he actually makes it someday.

edit: and then the sequel can be based off of this true masterpiece of modern American artistry:

Lol thanks. Even if you don't like him or the movies I don't understand how you can see them as Objectivist at all. I guess it's just a general misunderstanding of what it actually is?

I think it goes as far as: I didn't like the movie, then I read an article that explained that he is actually totally a bad person as well. Which is very "Fox News" approach for an otherwise liberal thread.

He doesn't depict it either though. He sure depicts fascism though! And to be fair if you don't clue in on the satire it's easy to go from a to b (though I did when I was an idiot teen leaving 300 so)

I have no idea how the objectivist thing gained so much ground when his last movie featured someone telling Superman that he had no obligation to help people, before he goes on to help people.

Yeah, but in general. Like BvS gets called a film that glorifies "toxic masculinity" for merely depicting it, negatively mind you.

No matter how much evidence is presented before them, people will twist it into some imaginary way to show that no, Superman is being a selfish objectivist.

It's something about Snyder, he just breaks people's brains. It's been super loving weird to see people who definitely think of themselves as politically left get all lathered up about how disrespectful it is to show a billionaire vigilante who dresses in an armoured gimp suit to beat the poo poo out of charicatures of the poor, the disabled and the mentally ill as some kind of unhealthy figure.

300, the film, was, and continues to be a traumatic event for comic book film making. I believe people still point to that film as the genesis of the alt-right, and conveniently leave out poo poo that actually affects our material conditions.

I've said it before but 300 was great and it was especially fun to watch the frat bros laugh about the sick kick and the rest

Like ultimately, the only ones who thought it was pro-nazi were either nazis or very self important nerds who think they are the vanguard against the nazis while safe at home doing nothing whatsoever about the nazis, no one else even considered it in those terms, they either saw a satire or a sick-rear end movie where muscle mountains fought the golden god man with his own muscle mountains (with sword hands!).

I see where people got upset about how it portrayed persians one way or the other though

Well yeah that's dumb but no one ever said the general audience is good at cluing into things

It's all especially weird for me because I just thought BvS was kind of boring and poorly edited and the last third was just a big ol miss so I just didn't watch it again and got on with my life outside of posting on the internet but I guess I'm the only one who didn't who did :shrug:

It's also funny to see the clickbait articles about how "DC movies are good now" calling Snyder's movies flops when they all made a profit. Even Suicide Squad did really well. The only flop was Justice League and that was not a Zack Snyder film.

Wasn't that even a 'flop' to the tune of hundreds of millions?
