Also doesn't comics Doomsday literally bring the fight from Smallville to Metropolis and then they both kill each other there?
He tore up the Midwest into Metropolis. There's a panel of him watching a newscast then just muttering "Muhhhhh-trppppp-lissss".

Which conveniently sets the stage for the showdown on Superman's home turf.

THAT'S SYOUS D'RAVEN

Star Wars is just loving irrdeemably awful now and not even worth saving. Zack Snyder would be capable of making a good Star Wars that buries the Force forever and ends the seemingly interminable Jedi/Sith BS cycle, but he would never be allowed and I wouldn’t wish the experience of doing it on him; he seems like a good dude.

So it seems we've got:

  • aliens;
  • various different classes of enemies, some humanoid, some beast-like, a few mechanical ones;
  • squad-based tactical firefights with distinctly dressed-up and armed combatants from a variety of nationalities;
  • a special weapon brought along for a specific situation that does not arise;
  • sacrificing team mates (particularly those that have received less investment) for tactical advantages;
  • critical hits, but some enemies can counter that mechanic;
  • a deadly objective that needs to be reached within enemy territory;
  • a fight to the evacuation point (after a climactic boss encounter);
  • indications that this mission has been attempted and failed before;
  • the very few survivors carry severe effects from their experiences that will strongly affect their future performance;
  • the action slows down occasionally for close-up explanations of a character's history, goals, or relationships.

Y'know, if I squint just a bit (okay, maybe a lot)... :xcom:

Idunno, I feel like a lot of Star Wars fans would just unironically love a film about those fabled Jedi/Sith wars, where the Jedi would just chop their way through the Sith while conquering planets in the name of the Republic, all the while talking about how righteous and ascetic they are. And that's the kind of Star Wars movie Snyder would make, but with self-awareness.

that’s pretty much exactly what I envision his take would be. a much more blunt and narrowed down reiteration of the prequels’ message about the supposed Golden Age of the Jedi for the idiots in the back row that still don’t get it. I think he’d nail it, and they’d hate it

A sprawling scifi epic about empires at war where it's offhandedly mentioned that one side tried to develop a nanovirus treatment to create supersoldiers but couldn't solve the aggression and metabolic side-effects, though they found an interested third party in this little cosmic backwater.

Or it's something like Jupiter Rising where they TESTED their nanovirus treatment in one of their lesser planetary holdings.

Hbomb talked a bit about his views on Snyder in his stream last night, and he mentioned something I hadn't noticed before, he said to take a good long look at the logo for Zacks production company, Stone Quarry and see if it looks familiar.

He apparantly told this to Curio, one of the breadtubers, and her response was ".....OH..."

Welp. I didn't really enjoy Army of the Dead that much, but I didn't like his other zombie movie, so I didn't expect to. Way too long, kinda by the numbers, and the constant hyper-short DoF was just weird.

Every time I watch MoS Michael Shannon is a loving revelation. He's just so astoundingly good in every scene he's in. His performance is right up there with Heath's Joker and Molina's Doctor Octopus as best supervillains in a movie IMO.
