Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (March 24th, 2016)

[kryptonianmutie]

Exactly. Like people standing around watching an old lady fall badly and no one stops to help her get up.

Sounds like WB idea of hope.

It's the admin's protest against the University of Chicago.

While I applaud the policy, there's no way it'll last.

I wish Superman was more of a colorful character in these movies. He's so somber, and morose. So depressing, and that's what bothers me the most about these two movies. Snyder always says he's such a fan of these characters and he knows them so well. I have never seen Superman so lifeless and boring. Even when he's flying he's like a rocket zipping from one place to another. We n very get a chance to see the glorious side of the character.

Excellent post, really cuts to the core of the problem.

Although in MOS he did smile for 0.5 seconds during his first flight.

His smile was orginally 1 second long but Snyder felt it was too long.

I'm just saying, I even remember people here said maybe that's why you were getting hostile replies in the other website, because for a second you also tried to imply that people weren't answering your question here either, until others pointed out the replies to your question you were getting.

As for the conversation deletion in the other place, well, we're heading towards that route in here too, whenever certain people don't like what someone has to say, entire conversations casually disappear, like someone's trying to turn this into their safe space, it's weird.

If this is to become a safe space forum free from toxicity then it needs to work Both ways.....
Safe spaces for both people liking a movie and people disliking it. Insults to non fans need to be eradicated as well then.

About damn time!

The last place young people should be shielded from different opinions, ideas, and idealogical challenges is at University. So tired of those cry babies ruining everything for everybody.

Thats just ONE university and it is being met with a lot of backlash.
The babies are definitely winning and spreading.
This bull- politically correct safe spaces mindset already reached ireland and england schools.
I remember this guy on youtube explaining how it has reached his work place over there.
Once hillary wins the sjw will have complete power

And I don't get why Snyder is so infatuated with the Dark Knight series. Yes it was a good story with darker. Erwin S of DC's two main heroes, but I do not think he should have based so much of the movie on it. Especially since the main fight between the two heroes was so brief and ended so awkwardly. Also the Superman in the movie comes across as way more clinical than the versions n in the story. In the comic Superman was a tool of the government. Glorious yes, as he stands in the sun as if the heavens were made just for him, but still a tool.

 

[jye4ever]

No need to worry about Snyder anymore, that interview with his bosses pretty much confirmed that his voice has been stamped out.

Yes and that is unfortunate. Like him or not he had a vision and stuck to it...I love BvS because of it. JL will be quite different(and still probably get panned)

 

[jye4ever]

Batman will be hanging out at PD HQ during the day having a laugh with Gordon by the time his solo movie rolls around.

 

[chewblacca]

And I bet he'll give safe driving courses on the weekends and teach teen drivers the importance of seat belts.

 

[jye4ever]

And the sideshow freaks members will look up and shout "Save us!"... and Snyder will whisper "no!"

 

[batfan08]

That's what troubles me, too. Particularly the mention of "fast tracking" the optimism in the movie. I feel like you could tell that was part of Snyder's arc for the universe, and anyone could tell that's where he was going with it with Bruce Wayne's "men are still good" spiel. I'm still hopeful, but there's also a part of me that thinks too many cooks in the kitchen is never good for anyone. I also thought the bit about Snyder not being available for comment was a bit troubling. As someone who does appreciate his vision for these characters, I just hope they don't ****this up for everyone by trying to appease people who didn't like his idea of the characters from the word "go."

[The Real Hierarchy and Rules of The Super Hero Hype *UPDATE*


The Mere Mortals

Mere Mortals are generally the newer members or members with a low post count. Members who don't kiss the moderation's ass and have unpopular opinions are also considered Mere Mortals.

It's required for the Mere Mortals to act like if they were in a British Traditional Tea Ceremony. Etiquette is very important and you need to be VERY CAREFUL with the way you express your opinions. You should know this is a very sensitive place. As you know it is filled with nerds, and traditionally, nerds aren't very tough, so they can't handle a wide variety of perfectly normal human behaviours

It's not enough to simply express yourself without insults. You have to be very cautious with the way you structure your sentences. You are encouraged to not to show any sign of personality. Think of a robot. That's what you should be.

A Mere Mortal also has to be very careful with the way he expresses negative opinions about movies. Feel free to bash anything that comes from WB or Zack Snyder, but if you decide to cr*ap all over Marvel, be prepared to be considered obnoxious, tedious, troll and eventually be asked to stop by a moderator. If you're attacking Marvel, or defending DC, there's a limit on how much you can do it. That limit isn't set in stone, but eventually you will be warned.

Don't ever question anything a moderator does. They're keyboard Gods and know better than any Mere Mortal.

Don't ask for well defined rules. Well defined rules could get in the way of mods doing whatever the f:*CK they want. You could just say "well, but that's not in the rules" and they would be "ups...". They basically create whatever rules they think could help to shut down any member they particularly don't like. It's mostly about personal agendas.

Expect Double Standards. Have you been busy pointing out The Avengers flaws and how much that movie sucks? Well, be careful. That will be considered trolling and you will be asked to stop. They will also suggest you to move on to another topic, if you don't like the movie, just don't waste time with it.

However, if you feel like cr**ping all over BvS, everyday, 24/7, that's basically expressing your opinion and you can do it as much as you would like. Be free to make jokes, post retarded and useless gifs, mock the movies in the same way as much as you would like and insinuate that others are wrong for liking it.

I know this is a rules post, but i can't really go into details, because they simply don't exist. It will depend on the moderator. That one single person, who might even be less smarter than you and less ethical will decide whether or not you should be allowed to post.

The Ass Kissers

Well, Ass Kissers are generally those folks you will find agreeing with everything mods say and thanking mods for everything they do and acting like if mods are very funny. Ass Kissers guard this place like Rottweilers. Flint Marko and The Joker are two great examples of Elite Ass Kissers. They're very respected among the Ass Kissing Brotherhood. They know the ins and outs of the forum, they're always commenting on the behaviour of other users, always trying to figure out who is a previously banned member and always calling for the help of moderators. Always looking for validation from the staff. Like a good dog trying to please his owner.


The Ass Kissers rarely have unpopular opinions. They wanna enforce their views on everyone who praises something they don't like, and they will never let it go. You will find them repeating the same thing all over the forum about the same subjects. That's how they get thousands and thousands of posts. They just repeat themselves. Mods will NEVER side against them. It's like they're ALWAYS right about EVERYTHING.

Ass Kissers can show personality, unlike the Mere Mortals. They're allowed to crack jokes and participate only to ridicule whatever or whoever they don't like. This rarely gives them problems because, like i stated before, they don't have unpopular opinions and they usually only attack the movies that the administration also don't like, so it's all well and good.

If you happen to vomit all over your keyboard after seeing an Ass Kisser kissing a moderator's ass in the most obvious fashion, don't feel bad about yourself. It's normal. I did it too.


Ass Kissers can also be banned. But in order for that to happen they need to do something extreme, like straight up insulting someone. You will certainly not see them getting infractions for "the way they talk" like what happens with the Mere Mortals.

The Staff

The Staff is mostly incompetent and actually damaging to the forum, since they kill its activity by enforcing absurd rules that only drive people away from the site.

I can't really tell you how to achieve this position. But you need to be a major Ass Kisser and Marvel Fantard for a long period of time. Or you need to be personal friends with someone from the staff.

As a Staff member, it's not required of you to be smart. You also need to have a very thin skin, because if you have a thicker skin and can actually accept people's opinions without freaking out on a regular basis, you won't have fun. You won't ban as many people and that can get boring. In order to ban a lot of people you need to act like a sensitive c*nt that has never left his mother's basement, and therefore isn't really prepared to deal with people and accept them as they are.

As a Staff member you're allowed to be biased and twist the rules as much as you want in order to get them to favor your personal agenda. No kind of good judgement is required from you. Is a guy pissing you off by talking a lot of sh**t about your favourite Spider-Man movie? Just ban him. As a staff member, you're just like any other person. But instead of being forced to deal with other people's opinions, you can just ban them. If it looks too unfair and vague, just come up with a BS excuse. Tell them there's something wrong with the way they'r expressing their opinions, even though you might allow the same from other users. Don't be afraid to be judged. Ass Kissers will back you up and thank you for it.

I remember during the first press junket in London, Snyder's wife was quite upset over the reaction to BvS. Zack said very little about the whole thing, but his wife complained about the fans not wanting to see their heroes redefined.
