The same happened with robocop! The Padilha remake brings the opposite message from the original! It's made to fit the narrative of "good" military absolutism of USA. The might is right ideology.

[@peterp2153]

I never got that idea from Robocop remake. I think that film’s mistake was existing, regardless of its merits or lack thereof. By that, I mean that the original is such a well known, well regarded, Singular classic that the remake would have an even harder time than most remakes in being compared to it. If there was never an original Robocop, then the newer film might come off better, though it would still be a fairly ordinary film. It does try to tell a different story, or at least have a different overall theme and character arc. Which is to its favor. But when it references stuff from the original, it tends to try and invert them or use them in a different way, which actually draws more attention to them. Like you’re watching and say to yourself, “Ahh, Padilla is clearly trying to reference the original film but invert those references.” I guess the problem of remaking that film is similar to what would happen if someone tried to remake Gone With the Wind or Lord of the Rings or The Matrix. The shadow cast by the originals are just to big.

[@corneliahale7871]

Oh gosh Padilha os so controversial here in Brazil. He directed two movies called "Tropa de Elite" that are about the police brutality on the favelas on Rio and organized crime. Even though the movie and even the main actor (Wagner Moura) says that the main character is a "monster", he still thinks he is a hero, just like the people here who thinks "a good criminal is a dead criminal".

And politics will always be part of entertainment. Even a movie like Top Gun Maverick is political by avoiding to be so. To think something can be politically natural, is to accept certain politics views as the norm and that is a statement in itself.

The thing about Zombies is that they generally represent the fears of the general public at that moment in time. For example, while I did not see the original Dawn of the Dead, it took place in the late 70's. Woodstock had taken place 9 years ago in 1969. The traditional values that had held up American culture were being heavily challenged and rejected. Hard work and quality tools and materials were being replaced with convenience and the "Mall Culture" of the 80's and 90's. So of course, the zombies attack in the malls, stripping you of your humanity until there's nothing left but a shambling, mindless mass of moaning meat staggering from store to store, looking for something (or someone) to "consume". Shaun of the Dead. 2004. The fear is that of complacency, and the consequences that result from said complacency. Shaun's girlfriend is leaving him because he's TOO content with his life and has no ambitions. His best friend is a lazy bastard who lives on his couch, and his roommate despises them both, though he himself is trapped in his own level of complacency, which ultimately leads to him becoming a zombie. Every zombie throughout the film is another person who lived a complacent life; the store clerk, Mary (the zombie), Shaun's own mother, the neighbors, and finally Ed (Shaun's friend). And even after the smoke has cleared, people use the zombies for the same menial tasks that they would have done when they were alive. Shaun and his girlfriend accept a life of mediocrity, and the whole message is that we're ALL zombies, it's just that some of us aren't dead yet.

I dislike most of his work but enjoyed the Dawn of the Dead remake because if you swap out "western civilization" with "the human race, or at least all but the richest humans, and also like all biodiversity on Earth" you have a much more factual statement than the crap he believes. The disaster happens. The world goes to hell, and humanity uses it as an excuse to unleash their inner demons. And the people who survive are the ones suited for such a world, those who are happier in it. It's an expression of a desire to get it over with and just enjoy what you can while it lasts, because it's hopeless to actually plan your life around success here and expect to enjoy a single moment and not die filled with despair over your regrets. For a lot of people, their lives feel like a prison. When their normal life is destroyed and there's no hope for it anymore, paradoxically that is hope. By letting go of the hope you have for saving yourself or the world, you have access to the hope of enjoying the world you live in. Yeah, definitely nihilistic and cynical. But, if we already were thinking about socioeconomic and climate science politics as a person when we watched it first instead of focusing on the creator's awful subtle racism, there's a massively relatable story in there of a desire I think a lot of us feel pretty often these days. Sometimes it seems like it would just be better if we stopped this will-we-or-won't-we with the dystopian hell, because we're so tired of fighting this culture war that's sometimes just a straight up war. If it didn't matter anymore, the constant weight we feel on us would be lifted. For all the awfulness that requires, nobody is wrong for feeling the power of that idea. You go bad when you stop keeping the awfulness in mind. Otherwise, it can be a comforting fantasy for people to imagine a life where, regardless of how they have to struggle to survive, the current struggle is _finally_ over. The next one might suck even more, but at least it's something else. I'm fine with such matters being in a zombie movie (just... drop the racism!) but it doesn't belong in Superman.

There's nothing wrong with dark and gritty in a comic book movie. The Dark Knight is proof of that. I welcome movies that are dark and gritty, but Batman v Superman was not that. When a movie lacks depth, then the dark and gritty tone that the director is going for is effectively undermined. Whatever tone you're going for it all comes down to storytelling and character development. Snyder simply did not do a good job of that in B v S and Justice League. Had nothing to do with politics and tone imo.

This video essay needed more citations from snyder's works beyond dawn of the dead and 2 seconds of Watchmen. It also should have noted how much Snyder has been influenced by Ayn Rand, rather than focusing solely on Hobbes; Snyder's repeatedly tried to make a film of Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead to no avail. How did anyone think it would be a good idea to give Snyder, the ultimate cynic, the job of portraying Superman, the ultimate embodiment of Locke's humanist ideals?

[@MichaelSaba]

You raise a really good point. I had thought about including something on Ayn Rand when I was writing the script for this, but I balked at making the video any longer because at the time I was still pretty new to editing. The objectivist / 'rational self-interest' lens does go a long way in explaining why Snyder's films are so philosophically muddled (or just plain confused, as with Watchmen). I think this is worth bringing up in the video essay on Joss Whedon I'm planning to release in the run-up to the Justice League -- thank you for the thoughtful comment.

[@jasonb6860]

You're welcome! Tbh imo Rand is largely the 1940s iteration of Hobbes (like Hobbes sans religion), so focusing on the Hobbes wasn't a mistake or anything like that. I'm not sure if my initial comment conveyed how much I agree with and enjoy your video; it's really well made and convincing. Mostly I just would have liked a few more citations that show Snyder's cynicism, but maybe that's an indulgent ask of a video that's already 16m long.

I agree with some of the criticisms in this video. I do think he takes the politics a little hard sometimes. But with that said, I think you and a lot of people in this comment section could benefit on seeing positive analyses on Batman v Superman and Zack Snyder’s Justice League. I’d link some, but KZbin is anti-linking. They’ll just delete it. I’m not looking to start a fight. I just want to share my perspective on the whole matter. I think he is a master visual storyteller, but the Snyder Cut is proof that he is awesome at world building and character development when he’s not being held back by studios. I think the big studios are the real villains here, cutting the wrong stuff out of his work, so it looks like that he is a bad director when he really isn’t. I think, if some of his other less well-received films were to receive the director’s cut treatment, you all would see that his films are much deeper than you think. Again, you all are free to have your own opinions. I just disagree because I know that his films aren’t terrible. There are plenty of videos as to why.

dude I can’t tell if you’re complimenting Zack or criticizing. You say Zacks themes are “plain as day” but the opening scene to his Dawn of the Dead is much more subtle than the original, because in the original it establishes its themes through obvious dialogue and scenes that couldn’t be more obvious. I mean what’s more obvious than having one your characters say “reason, reason, reason” or “we must not get emotional”. I think Zack is never too on the nose with his themes. And I don’t think he simply Glorifies his themes either, since the characters trying to keep up order and peace are often portrayed with a comical/satirical note directed at them.

Unpopular opinion - but I think Snyder removes thoughtless celebratory tone of action and replaces it with genuinely interesting and two sided arguments on the nature of propaganda, politics and herodom. He's like Peckinpah, but with a budget. He critiques authoritarianism as much as as portrays it. I think many just ignore the framing and context of many of Snyder's films. Such as the frame of 300, which essentially points at itself saying "THIS IS A GUY IN FRONT OF A FIRE, TELLING PEOPLE WHO GO TO WAR HOW AWESOME WAR IS!" - and think about when the film got released (at a time where people thought FREEDOM FRIES was legit a good idea). Similar with Sucker Punch. It's a film about feminism that constantly removes any ability of self-emancipation by providing various frames (this includes the movies as a medium) to showcase how any sense of liberation is already pre-mediated as a form of narrative that's being provided by somebody else. The individual is only able to free themselves by abandoning certain liberties for a greater freedom. Yet instead of using that as a happy ending, it showcases the complications surrounding it - something that MGS2 also does. BvS is essentially one of the most formalist action films ever made. It takes TDK - which was a film about the ending of a period of neo-conservativism - and applies it to now - a period in which neo-liberalism is slowly but gradually ending (see the way the left abandons Hillary). And Watchmen is a tricky one. You point out how things are merely "stuck" at the Doc, but... it's more complicated. By removing the Squid (

@@alphareturns5988 he doesn't need anything to prove. If movies like FFH and Captain marvel can make 1 billion and be rated higher than most movies on RT. Who cares anymore, just enjoy what you enjoym

[@AngryPeopleStudios]

Dude you point out the depressing philosophy and politics of the original Dawn of the Dead and end the video insinuating that films need to be fun like Deadpool/Disney's Marvel and to 'Keep politics out of my entertainment'. I'm all in for Snyder not making more shitty movies, but that final message don't suit the end of the video (to me at least). Disney is the most evil and money grabbing business on earth regardless of how "relatable and fun" they try to be

August ´Poul´ Niclasen I like snyder but yea, disneys killing the film industry

[@nimazsheik5152]

It's sad to see the dislikes on such a thoughtful and well put video. Comic book fanboys are like babies. You don't have to agree with all the points on this video, just appreciate the effort and unique perspective that the content creator is trying to show....

[@stonedcrusader]

The amount of pretentiousness in this video is astounding. "Keep your politics out of my entertainment"? That's your conclusion? I guess you just hate challenging films in favor of movies that are serving your exact political views, which is not only an incredibly arrogant way of looking at films but it's also a very limited and ignorant way of thinking about art as a whole. Not only that, but you have the audacity to tell people with different taste to stop watching movies you don't like? Wow. You're the definition of what's wrong with critics nowadays.

[@drkidd25]

Matches Malone agreed. This guy is an idiot.

[@MakiPcr]

You forget that Rand's lover was married and much younger than her (and more attractive than her husband); and she got him (and his wife I believe) to accept the deal because "objectivism" and when he did the same she got mad. It's typical right-wing rhetoric, like "Protect Freedom of Speech! But not for people I don't like"

[@asch7906]

Spider-Man Homecoming has garbage politics behind it and no one complains because "Hey, it's so fun!"

[@samwoodson9603]

What garbage politics are in Spider-Man Homecoming?

[@stranger59]

Whenever people say Snyder's films are "challenging" I remember Rorschach jumping out of the window, hitting the ground... and immediately getting up to kung fu fight a bunch of police officers. Rarely has the meaning, tone and intent of a scene been so purposefully, tragically and hilariously betrayed for no good reason at all. The unmasking, the moment when the cryptic Rorschach is revealed to be just a man, is now proceeded by a choreographed super brawl.

[@marcelo2169]

People who have nothing to say usually try to bash the other who has.

Yes the synercut was just a set up for a film that needed 3 or more films to tell a story. It's not even leading to a good story. He wants to have DC go edge lord and its annoying as hell

[@eriklords9432]

@@netrox0072 Man of Steel got good reviews from general audiences, so the only group of people that agree with you are critics.

With in house sabotage that's why pampering of the critics stopped until recently. That affected critics scores. MofS made more money than all of the Marvel phase one movies except Avengers, and more than Thor 2. Superman Returns, a direct sequel to Donner Reeves, was a hit with critics but lost money and was panned by audiences, WB Execs were impatient, greedy, and stupid. MofS made 300 million more than Batman Begins, but their egos demanded that they bury Marvel right out of the gate. They wanted a billion from MofS, so when they only made more than every Marvel phase 1 movie other than Avengers, and also more than Thor 2, they ordered Snyder to form a DCEU and hijacked his Superman series, told him Batman had to be in the second movie, told him Batman had to fight Superman (ask yourself what kind of story it would have been if you knew Batman would not kill, which IS something the character has done prolifically when originally created, and even in Keaton/Burton's version, and the movie was called Batman vs. Superman), made him stick the rest of the Justice League in there, and even Armin on this KZbin channel has covered how they chopped out and mutilated how Batman came to rescue Superman's mom. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqHchGOfmNuYmrM As if that weren't enough they cut down his movie and butchered it.
