My point (wasn’t clear, my fault) was that the Death of Superman is the worst thing about the entire movie. It’s insulting to waste that iconic story on the last few minutes of Snyder’s Abriged The Dark Knight Returns: Footnote To Justice League. It’s half-assed and unearned.
Agreed. Batman V Superman is like TPM. I tried to convince myself I liked it until I realized I truly thought on the inside it was terrible.
BvS fascinates me. It isn’t good at all, I constantly complain about it, and yet I still can’t really make myself hate it. I want to like it because this is the kind of movie we’re gonna get for the next several years or more. I keep reading articles and posts by Snyder fans trying to convince people that it’s genius, hoping that they’ll convince me simply because I don’t want to feel so upset and disappointed for the next decade or so. They never do though, they’re arguments are as shallow as the movie is (and pretends it isn’t), and I always end up more frustrated than before.

I wanted this “Lex” to die so badly. I was initially against Bat-Branding, but by the end I was hoping Bats would brand his face. I would actually quite appreciate a hypothetical edit that actually ends with Lex’s face branded.
