Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice

[The Dark Knight]

Mel Gibson had apparently called BvS a piece of sh*t in an interview.

Mel has no credibility. He described himself and not the film.

[The Joker]

If Mel thinks BvS is crap, fine. Whatever. But he doesn't come across as someone who understands that there's additional income that studios make due to merchandising with a film like BvS that can't be simply ignored. Which can be quite substantial, as Master schwartzman Yogurt can attest. Yes, the movie budgets are expensive. Yes, recouping the costs require mega profits. However, WB's BvS merchandising/licensing plays a major factor as well, and I don't see that considered in his argument at all. Just a old fashioned movie cost/profit model that's not the same as MCU/DCEU, and damn sure Star Wars.

The merch profits alone from The Force Awakens would probably blow his sugar titty mind!

The sad thing is Gibson said that in passing. It wasn't really the entire point of his statement.

Once again news media exist to provoke and to outrage rather than just share the freaking facts.

Don't buy into it, guys.

[The Dark Knight]

That is absolutely true. The media has been reduced to cherry picking comments and generating click bait. The outrage industry is booming. But if you get too close to the truth, it's dismissed as a 'conspiracy theory'. More than ever we have to think for ourselves. Double standards are at play.

[The Joker]

True. True.

If the Jared Leto quote being used as click-bait taught us anything ....

Again, real life people are being insulted because they comment on a silly movie. It's not necessary.

In STM, Lois is there to be wooed and rescued.

In Superman II, she's there to tempt Superman into making stupid decisions that almost get the entire world destroyed.

In Superman III, she's there only to explain why she won't be there at all.

In Superman IV, she's a non-girlfriend.

Yes, tell me more, Ms. Kidder, about how bad Lois is in the new movies.

None of that is worse than a plot device, which is basically all DCCU Lois is. It's sad to say that the DC fandom has fallen for the same trick that the Marvel fandom fell for, that the love interest effecting the plot more makes her a better character. It doesn't. Have a very great day!

God bless you all!

Indeed. Are you excited for my top 10 reasons why click bait fools people time and time again? Are you ready to discover the shocking consequences of clicking bait? If so, like and share this post. It'll blow your mind!!!

Whaaa? In MOS, Lois is Clark's gateway into humanity. He was taught his entire life that the world most likely won't trust or welcome him. Lois is the first to prove that wrong. This is demonstrated when she chooses to cover up her story about the true identity of her "mysterious rescuer". But it's also conceptually illustrated when the AI Jor-El shows Lois Lane's escape pod plummeting back to Earth and equates saving her microscopically as "saving them all" macroscopically.

In BVS, she's without question Superman's strongest advocate and defends him when nobody else will. She even saves his life when Batman has him on the ropes.

There's just no arguing that Kidder's Lois is somehow better or more important to the story of those movies than Amy's Lois has been so far in the DCEU.

It's sad to say that the DC fandom has fallen for the same trick that the Marvel fandom fell for, that the love interest effecting the plot more makes her a better character. It doesn't. Have a very great day!

I never said that was the criterion I used. Kidder introduced the concept of Lois somehow not being used in an effectual way in the DCEU films so far. (A) Kidder has no room to talk and (B) it's not even true anyway. So please don't put words in my mouth.

None of that is about her character, which basically proves my point.

The way she talks, it sounds like she means as a character, not as a story or plot device. Have a very great day!

God bless you all!
