As a fan of BvS and MoS, I think they are good movies and I enjoy them on multiple levels. I enjoy them on the level of spectal, as straightforward tales, and yes, even for the symbolism.
Some people go way way overboard with it and think its meant to be about Islam or some other bullshit. I do think Terrio and Snyder are trying to make statements on politics, news, the monomyth, and how our histories color our perceptions, but I dont think this discourse is necessary to enjoy the movies. Personally, I most enjoy the little things like pic related, where they use parallelisms to illustrate character arcs (and other things) without spoonfeeding it to you. I think its a lot better than what we get in most superhero movies and it reflects some of my favorite elements of my favorite comics.
But I do shit on some idiots like these guys
>>95457612 who cant even understand that the movie was blatantly putting forth the idea that Batman killing is a BAD thing and very un-batman.
Or people like
>>95457748 who are so pleb they think there is a "one true" version of Lex and cant even comperhend the idea of a new version that takes from the versions that came before it.
Or even people like
>>95457843 who use broad, vague strawmen to make their arguments.
If you dont like the movie, thats fine. But idiots shit on the movie because they cant get out of the "not muh!" headspace or because the movie didnt go like how THEY would have done it, so I shit on them right back.
