I worked on this in-depth analysis/thesis for Batman v Superman. I am interested to know the opinions of r/movies members.

How can you perceive these "things" as characters? They are not people, they are one dimensional disasters, they have no arc's, they have no dimensions, everyone is the same, Superman and Batman is one character without any logical reasoning, dower, angry and dark and most of all stupid and lazily written, nobody smiles, nobody is any other state of mind then just "I am sad and angry", boring and forced.

Makes sense right? Let’s start with Superman’s decision to kill Zod in Man of Steel.

It doesn't, characters are evolving backwards, Batman already killed a bunch of people without any explanation and now he is going to stop but that doesn't change his past, he is a killer and so is Superman (not that it matter to me), who killed that terrorist and didn't shed a tear, I think he was smiling to Lois right before he did it.

Superman believes it was his carelessness and lack of attention which caused that disaster and quite frankly, that’s the truth.

Stupid, quiet frankly that scene didn't contribute sh-t to the movie and should have been replaced with what that moron Snyder promised to us, a discussion about destruction in Man of Steel, instead we get these TV show snippets that should also been cut as they are lazy and dumb.

retire from the Superman business.

For 5 minutes, wow, what an arc.

The dream sequence with Pa Kent puts this whole narrative into context.

This stupid hallucination is never explained but sure Superman can see dead people now.

A jaded warrior who has become weary due to the kind of experiences he has been through

So, what has he been through?

At one point, Bruce Wayne says “20 years in Gotham Alfred, we’ve seen what promises are worth. How many good are left? How many stayed that way?” In a way, Bruce is actually talking about himself, alluding to his questionable methods and agenda.

Lazy and stupid, indirect and sloppy, writing doesn't get much worse than this.

There’s one moment (which I would like to refer as “Martha” moment) which turns everything upside down in Bruce’s perspective.

And it's just as dumb and forced as rest of the movie.

Zack Snyder visually represents this by showing the young Bruce Wayne falling into the cave and how Batman/Bruce Wayne never rose back up but fell even deeper as the years passed. Now let’s fast forward to the epilogue where Bruce wraps his character arc by saying “Men are still good…we fight, we kill, we betray one another but we can rebuild, we can do better, we will, we have to!"

Perfect description of visual diarrhea and f-king awful editing from a moron who left these pointless, stupid, time wasting scenes in.

When Justice League 1 comes around you will finally witness the canonical Superman and Batman that you love

What a lost of sh-t.

That’s a risky thing for a filmmaker to do but Zack Snyder boldly says “I am up for the challenge.”

And almost gets fired in the process, real shame WB didn't have the balls to finally send him to hell, time to stop wasting millions on this deluded fool with his masturbatory, pointless, shallow, childish visuals. I can't read any more of what you made up there I am sorry.
