Obviously Steve went to the other universe where there was no longer a Thanos or a snap, so Tony had time to fix time travel for real and gave it to Steve to use back in his own universe. I'll take a No Prize whenever.

Endgame's time travel was ehhh but it was cool to go back to the Battle of New York and see everything there from other points of view, and the realization that 'oh wait, three Infinity Stones are here at the same time what' was accidentally brilliant.

Killing Batman sounds like the thing that would make a huge portion of their fanbase really upset. Like those guys who sat behind me at Batman V Superman who were super excited to see Batman beat up Superman because "Superman is boring and sucks". Which is annoying because seeing Batman fail at something (keeping himself alive) would be nice to see. The Infallible perfect Batman which so many fans want to see all of the time is really boring. It was fine in the 60s show because of course Batman never goes anywhere without his anti-crashing plane spray, because its silly, but when its in more serious stuff, it's lazy and takes the stakes away. I'm a little worried about The Batman for this, but we'll see when ever it comes out.

Not exactly a role model. The Batman will probably have him getting his rear end kicked too since it's set early on in his career

If Batman dies shooting Darkseid with a god bullet then "dies" I'm guessing they had some plans for the character afterwards seeing as they would have pulled his death beat for beat from a series where his death specifically wasn't really death and he came back just fine eight months later.

I also thought of a perfect character for HJB to play in Deadpool 3,the Beyonder. He can be like The Master from Venture Bros and is how Wade travels to the MCU.

FilthyImp posted:So in the Snyder JL plan, The JL faces off against Steppenwulf and is overpowered at the last minute by a giant explosion that kills everyone. Flash does the 'run faster than ever' thing to shoot back in time and prevent the disaster, saving everyone and vanquishing Stepp. You know reading this makes the Justice League sound incompetent.

David D. Davidson posted:You know reading this makes the Justice League sound incompetent. I reread some finer points and Flash's time-travel save at the end of JL is supposed to foreshadow how Cyborg, Batman and Flash work on building the Cosmic Threadmill in the ruined Knightmare future of JL3. Flash was able to get lucky and jump to right before Steppenwulf defeats the league, but the jump they plan requires more calculation since Snyder makes it so there's only two windows where Flash wouldn't pop into the middle of the earth/space. Batman and Superman have a falling out when Bruce's plan to place Lois in the Batcave fails and Darkseid kills her, leading to Clark's fall. This would be what Flash prevents in JL3, leading to Batman sacrificing himself to save Lois. ImpAtom posted:It sounds pretty plainly like BvS is him coming to terms with being wrong and that Superman can represent something better and something worth fighting for. JL is him gathering everyone and learning to rely on them/trusting. JL2 is the low-point where his plans fail and he's left to sift through the wreckage because he forced a confrontation they weren't ready for. and JL3 is learning to sacrifice for the future/for someone else's benefit, I guess.

FilthyImp posted:Yeah, though I think in practice it was supposed to be more like they were overconfident/outclassed and needed a huge hail Mary to save it, with Lois at the center of it all. But the summary specifically says "Flash, Batman, and the remains of Cyborg travel back to JL-time to issue a warning about the failed attack, but Flash is caught between time and torn apart."

He's consistently portrayed as someone who's lost his way and just kind of given up on things. Alfred calls him out on that and how extreme he's gotten, the human trafficking victims he saved are all scared shitless of him, the people of Gotham are all saying he's lost his god drat mind, he literally quotes Dick Cheney, and he's using an otherworldly spear to make the Messiah bleed (a reference to Longinus, who was blind, and was cured by the blood of jesus) it literally ends with him saying he was a dumbass and he needs to make amends for what he did. And that's putting aside the on the nose visual allegories of how Wayne Manor is decaying, how he's multiple times showed to be lost in overgrown fields and only finds his way out in the end at Clark's funeral, and how in his dreams he's consumed by a batdemon spawned by his parents grave

I think the text is pretty clear even in the theatrical cut of Batman vs Superman that Batman is the villain of the piece. Yes, Luthor is manipulating him, but it only works because it's what he wants.

I think the problem with BVS is that the only person who seems both competent and likable is Diana (which is probably a testament to the small amount of screen time she has more than anything else) so even though Batman is acting like a crazy paranoid dickweed, Superman is all looming dour looks and angry heat vision eyes making it hard to give a hoot about either one of them being in the right from a plot perspective David D. Davidson posted:You know reading this makes the Justice League sound incompetent. Superheroes? Incompetent?? In a Zack Snyder Movie??? Obvious jokes aside, this premise sounds like another case of one of Man of Steel's problems where they take for granted that we're supposed to give a poo poo about what's happening because it involves nearly 100 year old licensed characters instead of actually doing any work to make people give a poo poo in the context of the actual movie

Ah yes, the "Superman should smile more" argument. Part of the point of BvS is that both their beefs have some merit. Batman may be a lunatic but the fear of Superman going nuts isn't exactly entirely crazy, and part of the looming shots of Superman are used to convey just how otherworldly and scary Superman can look to people. Supermans pov is that this Bat vigilante is getting people severely hurt and killed and no one cares because the people being hurt are "criminals", hell the police even cover for him. Obviously one of these two is in the right and one is in the wrong, I'll leave it as an exercise to the reader to figure out which is which.

Superman should smile more, and making the fears about his otherness having any merit betrays a complete lack of understanding of the character, and despite thinking Snyder's movies are mostly okay, is the one part I will never, ever even attempt to defend about them. I get that all interpretations of these characters are valid, but "creepy, cold, alien Superman" makes me actually angry.

It's not "Superman should smile more" it's "Superman shouldn't look like he can barely stand performing even the most minor acts of heroism" It does not help that the theatrical cut removed all content that even slightly humanized him and showed his motivations in the movie, leaving him not only looking miserable and unheroic, but also over the top belligerent for no reason at all. He's the villain of the theatrical cut despite Batman being borderline unhinged.
