It still mystifies me how people cant wrap their heads around the idea that people have different tastes about movies (and art in general ) and what makes them good.

All knowledge is community based, the earliest you face this the easier it’s going to be.That includes which movies are “good” and which are “bad” , who won the election and who lost and what’s the best flavour of chocolate.

Also humans make snap decisions, irrational choices and then we look for supporting facts to cement our opinions.

There’s no objectivity and we all are fastidious irrational zealots. Dehumanise yourself and face the snyderverse.

Edit: my last thought is , a lot of people engaging in the most noble form of combat, posting, will waltz into the hives of their enemies and will get their community knowledge rejected by their inmoral enemies. Happens in the snyderdome and happens on Twitter.

That’s a classic cult mechanic, the squishes are sent as missionaries trying to convert the heathens.That’s the theorical goal, but the way the mechanism works is that these missionaries will get owned H A R D and the rejection of large numbers of people will make them double down on their beliefs and further isolate from society at large.

But then again, Joss Whedon's Justice League was a two hour film that felt like a four film.

My most heretical opinion is 80% of the story beats of Josstice League are acceptable in another context, and maybe in 2012 that thing would have ruled.

But the general half assed execution and the feeling of "this is what you deserve pigs, now eat-your-monster-faced-henry-cavill flavoured slop" doomed that thing.It's also ugly.

The second one is im not interested in suckerpunch at all.

I’m so mad it’s on a Rupert Murdoch property. I’m hoping it gets released in google play or something similar so I can buy it and give him no money at all.

It’s also released simultaneously so I think we unlock it in Australia on Friday thanks to time zone shenanigans.

So he should talk like Eisenberg Luthor.

That creepy laugh when Clark tells him he’s going to learn how to lose is fantastic. The second half of the movie when he’s red,mad and doesn’t care anymore about presenting a facade is great.

I feel like that guy also deserves to be on the cover of a NVIDIA graphics card, since he looks like somebody set the "shiny" and "muscle" slider to max.

He’s an unreal engine 3 stock character if I ever seen one.

Remember how ATT was getting desperate and this 70 million dollar project had the potential to destroy the service.

Time and time again a bunch of streamers and youtubers have been shown they have no idea what’s going on.

Its like they actively sapped the scene of all life, pacing and intensity.

If you pay attention batman fighting is part of a different scene.The hostages are gone , and the multiple parademons get reduced to one.Even the bricks change shape.

I'm in shock.They wasted 3 and half years of everybody's time, torpedoed their own franchise, lost Snyder who brought billions to WB, burnt Ayer, alienated Affleck so bad he left for Paramount after winning an oscar for WB and building a solid mid budget drama career with them, and dinamited their own future slate for Joss loving Whedon and his utterly bland garbage.

This was amazing and Snyder as gently caress.

The australian national film archive did star wars night showing the original trilogy and they look incredible in the big screen. Deserts, swamps and space look gorgeous.

The kryptonian codex is the Anti-Life formula

You just blew my mind.A complete codification of every posible genetical template, making sure life is meaningless because every important detail has been set up before your birth rendering you into a biological slave that cant see its chains.

Less comic booky than a mathematical equation that gives you depression tho.

Resurrected clark might not be the same one that died.Being reborn in a genesis chamber through the intercession of an evil box of black magic changes everything about him.He was the only natural born kryptonian and that made him free.He is a biological slave now.

Regardless of how he interprets scenes, I'm just confused to how any of the stuff he describes has anything to do with objectivism? I'm not that familiar with objectivism, so I'd appreciate some enlightenment.



Objectivism is a short hand for thing I don’t like on a moral basis on the internet.Objectivism is an anarco capitalist ideology that mixes the theory of great man and free markets, that ended being a sex cult filled with petty dramas featuring the worst kind of people.

Atlas Shrugged, an unbearable long brick of a book about magic alloys, fast trains and free energy is its bible. The Fountainhead can be also be included but it’s less about economics and more about art.

It was born by a ferociously anti communist Russian emigre into the US who worshipped the robber barons and thought they should be the central figures society should be organised around, and if they are gone the whole world would descend into chaos because they are the only ones keeping the march of progress, and the unruly undeserving mobs at bay.

In this view of the world, anyone through the sweat of the brow should be free to heroically dominate markets and crush all unworthy competition, rules, regulation and red tape be damned.

The cult of capitalism and capitalists.

It’s extremely popular amongst a certain share of people specially in finance and politics, including Alan Greenspan as they would make them gods on earth just by virtue of having money.

Of course it also completely ignores how the us economy moved past robber barons into managerial capitalism, highly specialised division of labour, intellectual property laws and the rise of the corporation as the engine of economic activity in one hand, and how the government intervention into markets and union activism ensured a much more even distribution of wealth ( undesirable racial groups were left out of these agreements and then used to convince white people to vote against their own interests).

It also crucially ignores how markets work, what free markets are and its requirements, why certain things like healthcare can’t be markets and what barriers to entry are.


Basically colossal levels of egoism are good and cool, in an objective and dogmatic way that can’t be opposed by anyone sane,because reality is perceived by everybody the same way with its true meaning apparent. What you see is what you get. A=A.

A tautology that basically allowed the leader of the cult to define reality, what was good and bad to their understudies, and work around her multiple logical inconsistencies.

About 95% of people that use the term don’t know jack poo poo about it. And if you live in Europe people don’t know what it is as it’s an American idea ( tell that tale to anyone living a kingdom with a monarch).

Sexual pest Devin Faracci started to use it as a hammer against Snyder for years.

He answers to his boss multiple times. And to the waitress he “saves” from sexual harassment.

Destroying context and making surface readings is a very objectivist thing to do.

Yeah in a time when everyone was looking sideways at muslims Ben told them to gently caress off, and I got mad respect for that

But yeah fans have long suspected the JL bullshit with Whedon, Johns And WB execs is what made Ben just pack it up and throw in the towel

His next project is with paramount after a long time being the poster child for mid budget high prestige dramas for WB.

I say every time , and it never fails to surprise me: WB burnt a whole lot of working relations with people that brought massive amounts of prestige and money to the studio for joss Whedon.

Batman v superman is literally unwatchable because batman doesnt use a warhammer.The superior weapon that combines bludgeoning and stabiness in one tight package, capable of dealing with plate and chail mail armoured foes.

Once again Snyder missing the point.
