Tasteless and garish mean "looks bad in certain ways" so yeah they don't mean "looks bad."

Yeah this entire behind the scenes saga about Justice League probably demonstrates what it is that Snyder gets out of the fountainhead. Which means if you're hoping for a starship troopers sendoff you're not gonna get that if it ever gets made but you're also not gonna get much of an objectivist screed because what Zack Snyder personally gets out of the fountainhead is kinda orthogonal to objectivism.

POWELL CURES KIDS posted:The fact that y'all have to keep reaching into this weird deep-rear end sack of lore to explain the basic motivations (and identities???) of the antagonists is...not a great sign. It'd be fine for the plans and the methods of the villains to be obscure, or merely implied, or abstract beyond the audience's understanding--but this isn't that. We're given too much information for mystery, and not nearly enough for clarity. It's world-building in the most negative sense; it's overstuffing the film with a bunch of ~mythos~ that doesn't serve it, in service of a franchise that's never even going to exist. I shouldn't have to read a Wikipedia article to extract some kind of coherent understanding of a movie this conventional. You don't need to. It works fine without explanation.
