Yeah but people liked it, and that's what they were going for, so it worked.
It amazes me how easy people change currents though, and like a real hive mind too, nobody knew Aquaman but knew the jokes, now he's badass because he's basically Khal Drogo, everybody complained about BvS, now a few funny moments, which aren't even that funny, and are even throwaway moments, and everyone loves how DC has "finally figured it out"
I mean, don't get me wrong, I liked the thing for what it was, a non-trailer of outtakes to show us the kind of direction they're going with but, is that really all it took?
Are you comparing a guy in a suit who has been visibly fighting crime for 20 years in a major city that's 10 minutes away from another major city and whose citizens are so familiar with that they can draw his logo, to the Chupacabra? Ok...
Visibly? How'd you figure that? In the 1st Batman scene, one of the cops didn't even know he actually existed.
The logo thing, there's kind of a big light that shines on the clouds...
And you must've missed the countless times Snyder said even after 20 years he was still an urban legend.
But now that you mention it, only the higher ups in fringe stuff in the Government know if chupacabra exists, and some people may have seen something in the woods, and some other people might even have dead farm animals as proof of its existence, ór even pics and video, there is also merchandise.... So yeah, kind of a spot on analogy there.
