difference being the cw's core is enjoyable.
BvS and CW spoilers below
You'll notice that not one person is going to complain that Stark knew Parker was Spiderman with no real explanation how, but Lex knowing who Superman is, that's crossing the line! Lol
I saw civil war last night. I really liked it, but as i was watching it I couldn't shake the feeling that I'd seen this movie before. Civil War has all the same major themes that guide the story arc as BvS.
Both Films start with a crisis in a foreign country, heroes interevene collateral damage ensues (more unintended human deaths) foreign policy issues result, and questions of whether they cause more harm then good. This leads to the government pondering if they should be contained and controlled- who decides when they should or should not intervene. The hero(s) is/are called to an official government hearing, a bomb goes off, innocent people die, and the hero(s) are wrongly blamed for the explosion. The death of parents, and their names play a signicant role in both films. The real villian is pulling the strings & manipulating the heroes so that they fight each other... there are more similarities but I am too lazy to list anymore.

Also the double standard is in full force, didnt read one review that criticizes it for how the avengers brutally kill their enemies without any regard for human life (except when they fought each other). I guess I'm sensitive to this now that BvS was criticized for it even though Supes and bats aren't shown to deliberately and brutally kill people like the avengers do. It never bothered me before but it does now. I chuckled towards the end when cap told bucky "not to kill" any of those cops as he (cap) was knocking them off of the stairwell to their impending doom.
One thing is for sure...both Tony Stark & Bruce Wayne have serious mommy issues
I think people are more bothered why Lex hates superman.
Also Lex knowing who he Is, is a HUGE deal. Just throwing that plot element thrown in, in his first appearance sucks
You brought up a good point but I would still argue that it slightly depends on who's writing. Also in one of the panels you posted above, Cap says "Avengers don't kill- not unless there's any other-" and it seems like he got cut off before saying "unless there's any other way" so they might prefer to not kill but I think they'll do it if it comes down to that.
I could never stand that Superman's intelligent villains could never figure out Kent was Superman
Especially in this universe where his face has been plastered all over the news
Lex knowing is just common sense to me

It makes perfect sense that no one knows who he is, the only people that that should/would know are his colleges at the Daily Planet
That's part of it...how many, in the past, would know who Clark Kent is? And if you think just glasses don't work go grab the vid of Cavill walking in time square in a SUPERMAN tshirt and a pair of glasses and see how many people notice. No one does. And he gets noticed everywhere. Or watch some of those late night talk shows where they have famous people do normal jobs and talk to the customers about "themselves" and the person they are talking to doesn't even put together it's the same person hey are talking about that is talking to them. People are very bad as a whole on face recognition.

So killing is ok if it's enjoyable? That's a messed up attitude right there!
The whole DC ethos is that there are consequences to your actions... CW may be an enjoyable film, but it's been admitted that it was only made because of DC making BvS, and the MCU has not bothered or focused on consequence until now... in fact it MCU fans go to great lengths to point out how few people (unrealistically) died during the battle in Avengers – suddenly it's an issue. The fact they made CW actually comes across as petty to me.
Exactly! It's a standing joke how poor Superman's disguise is (a remnant from a simpler time) - the average man-on-the-street would never know because the chances of actually seeing Superman up close are small, and who knows what the reporters on their local paper actually look like?
But his foes - Luthor especially, would know straight away – it's an insult to the viewers intelligence to assume otherwise!
