>>81902811>Aren't all those reasons why you guys are complaining?Yes and no. Because here's the thing. Execution trumps intent, and exploring those aspects of the character don't actually make it a deconstruction. You can in fact make a RE-Construction while doing the exact same thing.
This is a very layman's definition but essentially a deconstruction is when you take a story apart to see what's wrong with it. A reconstruction is when you put the story back together and show why it works. Snyder does the former, but not the latter.
For example, Birthright has a Superman that struggles with people being terrified of him and not accepting him, but it works. The difference is that Snyder does that ploit point, and pretty much leaves it at that. Whereas in Birthright, they do a whole thing on why the bright colors and lack of mask are intentional decisions on Clark's part to NOT scare people and let them know they can trust him. Do they work 100% of time time? Hell no, especially thanks toa Luthor smear campaign, but the intent informs the character in a way that Snyder's hasn't been.
And that's the problem. Snyder's got a Superman that doesn't try; he's just jerked around by the plot. An ubermensch with no agency isn't much of one at all.
