>>96875605The character of Superman wasn't a beacon of anything in this movie.
Snyder just shoehorned in the idea that the world would be universally devastated at his death, and that the VERY FABRIC OF SOCIETY would unravel with his passing. Superman did nothing much to earn any of this devotion through 2 movies, it just "arrived" at Justice League.
And of course the movie completely ignores the repercussions or trauma of Earth learning that A. there are advanced alien civilizations and B. they can be incredibly hostile.
No, no one is bothered by the half-destruction of the largest US city by aliens anymore, that was cleaned up. They are shitting themselves because the last surviving alien of that group died while fighting one of his reincarnated alien brethren.
JL completely ignores the previous movie's themes. We have cops looking at accounts of "winged draculas" kidnapping people, and wondering if Batman has lost it. Disregarding that "Batman losing it" was already well established in BvS.
And we ignore that Diana DID NOT cut herself off from humanity for 100 years, so we can have her dealing with trauma of losing Steve again.
The shitpile that is Justice League tries to lurch forward by selectively ignoring all of the previous films where it suits it.
It just wants to be liked, and will suck your dick if you promise to say something nice about it.
