>>118552297The problem isn't that Snyder's vision is different, the problem is that it's not internally consistent.
For example, Snyder wants Jonathan to be more cynical and less trusting of how people will react to Clark being an alien. But he ALSO wants Clark to be bullied as a kid, which means Jonathan can't do the logical thing of home schooling his kid even after Clark has a super power induced panic attack in school (that even includes his first use of heat vision!).
Snyder makes a whole lot of imagery and spends a lot of time in the narrative talking about how Clark is free to choose his own path, except Zod is the one steering the plot; Clark's choices are an illusion and he's railroaded into very major decision to the point that people defend MoS's ending by saying "He had no choice".
Snyder wants Lex to be angry that gods never saved him from his father. But then Lex makes a god that will obey him because Lex is his father. Even though Lex didn't obey his father.
Far be it from me to overestimate the moviegoing public but if you go after big lofty themes without making sure the narrative beats support them, audiences are gonna pick up on that eventually.
