Snyder is a fascist, his fans are cultists and movie opinions aren't praxis, I say as I rush into the CSPAM pop culture thread to post about a director whose last film was 5 years ago

with the addition of endgame to the canon, snyder has no longer made the only blockbuster superhero film where the hero directly executes a fascist. but it's still the only one where they do it before allowing them to commit genocide.

nonathlon posted:What's your verdict? I was interested in it but slightly put off by all the thought pieces. But then, every film attracts endless thought pieces and hot takes. Movie's gorgeously shot and has some inspired music choices, but despite having sympathetic motivations, the protagonist is a bit hard to like/support. I'm aware that she's meant to be a challenging character and the movie's probably having a bit of fun with the idea of making the audience contend with how they react to her and what that means about the audience in a broader sense, but understanding that doesn't necessarily make it a satisfying character arc. It's also a little weird that arguably the two cruelest ruses she perpetrates in the movie are on other women. That all looks like incomprehensible word salad I'm sure, but it's hard to discuss the movie without discussing the ending, which does some bold things but then kind of trips across the finish line with an epilogue that feels at odds with what came right before.

The more I think about Paul Verhoeven the more I am amazed that he predicted the Hollywood would empower Bay, Snyder and Nollen 20 years before it happened.

duz posted:i was going to until i found out about the third act twist and now its a bit lower down on my watch list The character is best described as [vague spoilers] "well, her best friend was raped in college and later committed suicide, so now she's doomed as well; and there's nothing she can do now but circle the drain in her grief and her rage until it costs her literally everything." The movie introduces her as this sort-of badass avenging angel, but she's paradoxically weak and kind of helpless to be defined by anything other than her (second-hand) trauma. I know that's not, like, an accident on the part of the filmmakers, but it seems to fall into some stereotypes of abuse victims kind of being "ruined women" that aren't especially constructive. But I'm for sure not the person to be writing essays on this movie, and I'd be happy to read takes from those who have the frame of reference/vocabulary/book learnin' to better process it.
