These quotes sum up Snyder’s view of super heroes:

Zack Snyder said:

You could call it “high-brow” comics, but to me, that comic book was just pretty sexy! I had a buddy who tried getting me into “normal” comic books, but I was all like, “No one is having sex or killing each other. This isn’t really doing it for me.” I was a little broken, that way. So when Watchmen came along, I was, “This is more my scene.”

Everyone says that about [Christopher Nolan’s] Batman Begins. “Batman’s dark.” I’m like, okay, “No, Batman’s cool.” He gets to go to a Tibetan monastery and be trained by ninjas. Okay? I want to do that. But he doesn’t, like, get raped in prison. That could happen in my movie. If you want to talk about dark, that’s how that would go.

So, he likes everything I absolutely despise about modern superhero comic books and wants to redefine Superman with that garbage.

With no due respect, he can go fuck himself up the ass with his own head.

If I had the money/the technology was there, I’d have my entire skeleton reinforced with titanium.

I DON’T CARE ABOUT SUPERMAN!

Lie to yourself if you must, but we aren’t fooled in the slightest.

Yeah, well, I actually prefer Revill’s Palpatine over McDiarmid’s, so …

Don’t bother reading or responding to husezni’s posts. He lives on Cloud Ten.

As a big fan of Stargate, I’ve been dying to see an extended cut of the film for a long, long, long time. I really hope you’ll be able to execute this idea somehow.

That whole cantina scene was silly to me. Boba just wrecking shit and making a huge spectacle of himself while completely losing his cool is #NotMyBoba.

I agree. I’ve always pictured Boba as the SW equivalent of The Man with No Name – calm, cool and collected.

I think they handled it pretty well despite the shitty premise. The “duel” would have been less than 10 seconds if it were in film or TV and it sewed the seeds of Vader finding out he had a son. Though he could have found that out some other way such as having looking at Luke through a security recording and seeing his old lightsaber and putting two and two together later on.

Meh, it was awful. Vader’s quest for the pilot who destroyed the Death Star in the original Marvel run was pretty epic. Through multiple issues he hunted down any leads he could find to discover the name of the pilot before he finally succeeded:

Very cool but a bit of a continuity snag in hindsight as Vader’s reaction isn’t quite what it would be considering the revelations of certain film yet to be released at the time.

Well, there is also Dark Horse’s version of how Vader discovered Luke’s identity. In that story, Vader goes into a batshit homicidal panic attack when he learns the news.

I think I prefer Marvel’s original version.

Yeah, at least Donner had respect for some version of the character (that seemingly being Silver/Bronze Age). Snyder seems to hate all versions of Superman through the years to the point where he is hell bent on ruining Superman for everyone as we stand helpless to do anything about it.

That doesn’t sound quite true. From the outside looking in, I’d say he definitely loves Frank Miller’s version of Superman – that is, Frank Miller’s awful, awful, awful caricature of Superman.

Get rid of all the clouds on Tatooine in the first movie. It doesn’t make much sense for a planet so devoid of water that the population would need moisture farmers to have big, puffy clouds floating in the sky.

^God, I love that splash page.

Over the past couple weeks, I’ve watched the first two seasons – and first eleven episodes of the third season – of Farscape.

Quoth the Barney Gumble, “I like it!”

DO IT.

What the hell kind of a response is that?!

Here, Frink, let me show you how it’s done.

…

Subtitle all the genreists so it’s just one big misunderstanding.

Most of the Thrawn Trilogy (replace Jaina and Jacen with Ben)

Now there is one of them?

Mike forgives you.

It’s Mike now.

I don’t think I like objectivism. Ayn Rand comes off as a total bitch to me.

Can’t believe I never noticed this before…

Lucas’ halfassed approach to the SEs reveals itself once again.

joefavs said:

I would be astonished if this indicates anything at all, but in the spirit of reporting any and every little change in the OT’s official web presence, I’d like to throw it out there that I’ve just noticed that the poster for the original Star Wars on IMDB has been switched to a different OT-era style. The poster they had originally was already one from '77, so this isn’t really evidence of them walking back the SE like a lot of the stuff I’ve seen pointed out purportedly is, but it struck me as odd enough to be worth mentioning.

It indicates nothing. Various TV & movie pages on IMDb have their main images changed every now and then.
