I like to think the Snyder trilogy as a origin, rise & fall and rebirth arc: (i) with MoS being the origin story where he has to find himself torn between his fathers and worlds and their legacy. He finds himself at the end (with a smile as last shot). (ii) the second act (BvS) is where he becomes a bigger-than-Jesus Rockstar and faces antagonism from his own vigilante ranks and enemies, so that he makes mistakes (he is no God) and has to rediscover his parents' basic values and - in the end - gives his life as ultimate sacrifice - and this initiates something bigger (the JL). (iii) And finally (JL), the resurrection and rebirth as member of the JL he helped create, and the character arc is complete: he is the boy scout superman from the comics. In the end one of the artistically more interesting trilogies out there, at least in this genre. Wouldn't it be better if you didn't have to "like to think" that? no it wouldn't, Red. These Snyder films are not conveyer belt junk food but artistic expressions that can be interpreted in several ways. You will likely see pretentious bat-turds served darkly; I see it differently.
The paramout subject is the gradual formation of the Justice League over several movies (like say 2001 was about the evolution of mankind from ape to starchild over 4 monolith-goalposts). But for me this is more of a Superman trilogy, as he is the central, unifying character and heart of it, even when he's dead.

So because they're bad movies you have to interpret them to something else to make them seem good. Damn, it must suck being a DC fan.

Also it's funny how you're literally using a straw man argument to make the films sound good.

Calm down, its only a movie, or three. Seriously, and you should look up "straw man argument", this is not the straw man you were looking for; bet you meant "grasping at straws", eh?

Your post is more hilarious when you remember you called DC films "artistic expressions".

Your post is less hilarious when you remember that personal incredulity is often a symptome of low effort thinking and deflection.

You seem to have a fixation on straws, I guess you have to like sucking to be a DC fan.

DC fandom isn't easy, but I guess that's still better than being fixated on sucking raccoon turds and pussy boys. Frankyl, I couldn't suck that even with a DC straw.

Did that have any meaning at all when you typed it?
