Diana in solo movies: "I only kill when necessary." Diana in Justice League: *"BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD"*

[@summertyme5748]

Snyder is the blood God. His Superman and WonderWoman and Batman are all killers. They all respect and believe soely in their own Supremacy. They seem to actually have little patience or use for humanity. Much like ahem, a certain someone.

[@summertyme5748]

"For killing a couple terrorist" She killed them when she didn't have to. She blew out the wall of the building and sent shrapnel into the crowd of police - when she didn't have to. You realize that she is a fictional character and the point is actually that SNYDER loves gore violence and bloodshed. He made his bones [pun intended] in Zombie movie remakes and went right back to it after Snyder Cut. He is really more suited to gore horror than super heroes. Does that answer your question?

[@Sam-sr9zq]

The reason J'onn J'onzz is called Martian Manhunter is because at the time the character first appeared, the word "manhunter" meant "someone who hunts criminals". Martian Manhunter is supposed to be a detective (he first appeared in Detective Comics) - that's where he gets his name from. Over time, the term "manhunter" has taken on a different implication, and the character in these movies is clearly not a detective, so yeah, the meaning is lost and the name comes off more threatening than it should.

[@summertyme5748]

"If you believe Batman wouldn't use guns, you're living in a fantasy world" ^ Superman breaks necks and commits genocide. Wonderwoman splatters brains all over the place.

He also said that Batman would get raped in the prison. How DC think this is the man to lead the DCEU i dont know? Zacky obviously hates superhero.

[@BWMagus]

Well...there have been versions of Batman that killed before. It's not unheard of. Hell, he actually killed in his earliest comics--I want to say he even kills the Joker the first time they meet, though don't quote me on that. That's not unacceptable. But his fucking attitude about it is; HE is as intolerant of a different view of Batman (the majority view by far) as critics are of his view, like a goddamn hypocrite.

[@matthewmuir8884]

@@BWMagus There's another problem; a problem of continuity. There is a name for an older Batman that uses guns and kills people, and that name is *Thomas* Wayne: a big part of the Flashpoint storyline was that, in the altered timeline, Bruce died while Thomas and Martha survived, causing Thomas to become a broken version of Batman. Snyder knew that the DCEU was going to have its first Flash movie be a Flashpoint adaptation, and yet, he still made his Bruce Wayne indistinguishable from Thomas Wayne. Sure enough, rather than try to use Thomas Wayne, the Flash movie, after a million rewrites and changes in director, is now just copying Into the Spiderverse/No Way Home by bringing back the Batman from Tim Burton's Batman movies.

[@MysteriousTomJenkins]

The main thing I utterly despise about that line is the fact that....the DC Universe IS a fantasy world. It has aliens, gods, advanced tech, magic, demons, super heroes, fictional countries, etc. It is not OUR world, it is literally a fictional world with fantastical elements to it.

They then cut away - to figure out a way to stop her from killing them. Also note: She moves faster than bullets - and Steppen Wolf needs to jump in the air Hulk style in order to keep up with horses and nimble ordinary Amazons who dodge his attacks..... So WW can put that Sword of hers right between his *eyes* before he can even blink. [FILM OVER]. She just - doesn't. Note: MCU has the same problem in No Way Home when Dr. Strange refused to end his fight with Spiderman in milliseconds, and again...in MOM where God Mode Wanda could END film before it begins and in fact there is no reason for the film to even happen. Comic book action is apparently hard. That's why I respect the best examples - including Endgame/Infinity War, so much.

[@matthewmuir8884]

Indeed. The first question any writer trying to write a Batman that's willing to kill should ask is, "Why wasn't The Joker his first victim?" In The Flashpoint Paradox, this was handled pretty much perfectly: Batman's willing to kill because Batman is Thomas Wayne, not Bruce, and he doesn't kill The Joker because The Joker is Martha Wayne.

[@extraplain2412]

I think this makes it better. Even a Batman that kills can't permanently beat the Joker. The Joker preys on Batman's weaknesses. If he doesn't want to kill Joker tries to force his hand, if he does want to kill, Joker just trolls him and makes sure he has leverage or an escape plan. Knowing that he's just annoying Batman of even more which is why Joker does what he does.

[@alexman378]

Seriously, the only practical way for that to happen, is for Joker to be at least equally as good in hand to hand combat and damn near completely unreachable from a distance.

The best reason that the story could possibly have for the motherboxes awakening was the same thing that happened in the Avengers, i.e. "Your experiments with the Tesseract is what drew Loki and his allies to it. It is a signal that the Earth is ready for a higher form of war." The act of saving Victor's life using one motherbox activates it and that's how the plot starts. But, Superman death scream. Smh.

[@summertyme5748]

Trying to turn the mother boxes into Infinity Stones is one of the things wrong with the film in the 1st place. MotherBoxes are devices that open boom tubes - which are portals. That means they are basically teleporters. They are not “way finder” mystery McGuffins that wake or sleep or fart or $hix as the plot needs. Chris Terrio who also botched Rise/Skywalker, another plot hole fest, just can’t write.

[@summertyme5748]

“Act of saving Victor’s life using one motherbox activates” ⬆️ Contradicting the excuse that Superman’s death scream awakens the boxes - meaning they already woke and for completely different reason. Also begging the question of why Steppenwolf is summoned to Atlantis if the box that Silas has and which *he spends the whole film trying to find* is what woke??? Suppose the boxes are on opposite ends of the galaxy instead of the planet. By your logic Steppenwolf is summoned to one side of the galaxy by a box on the other side, and then…here’s the kicker: *He still CAN’T FIND the box, that summoned him.* lol.

Having them wake up when the world is steeped in the fear of losing Superman makes sense too. Darkseid is a New God, the embodiment of EVIL itself. On top of that, he's a higher dimensional being that utilizes technology that's literally impossible. He could make grenades that produce anger instead of an explosion. He can kill you with a metaphor. He nearly destroyed reality by FALLING ON IT! His terraforming weapons (Why does he even HAVE terafforming weapons? Dude can play ping pong with planets, he's the size of a STAR) being activated by sufficient fear actually make sense. Them having a Clark Kent death yell wake function makes no fucking sense even for Darkseid who shot his son from the future while he was fighting his son in the past as his son killed him.

To be fair, I really don't think every film has to make 100% logical sense. Films have metaphors, allegories and themes that can't be fully expressed if it maintained exact continuity and logic. Especially in a fantasy sci-fi film like this, it's not meant to be taken literally.

[@thefunnyhatter7390]

The biggest one I can think of at the moment is the parts that have to do with Aquaman. Mera, in the Synder Cut, talks with a British accent, but an American one in Aquaman. It is revealed that the Atlantians have their own language underwater that come off in high pitch squeaks and shrieks. Yet, in Aquaman, they can speak normally in water as they do on land. I think they were trying to set up that Arthur couldn't communicate with the Atlantians because he never learned their ways, but it's torn down when they speak normally in the next film. It also mentions that King Orm was dealing with rebels against Atlantis, but in Aquaman, that doesn't begin until Orm starts "uniting" the other kingdoms of the sea. Just a few things I mentioned, but there is quite more within the movie that would have contradicted the other movies following Justice League, should WB decide to make this canon.

[@ShaneFullerYT]

@@thefunnyhatter7390 the American Accent and British...well...uuuuhhhh....I give you that. But the Atlantians speaking that high pitch squeak noise in ZSJL and they are speaking English in Aquaman isn't a big deal at all.

Darkseid lost his status when he came back to Apokolips. There was a rebellion in which another God rose to power and ruled Apokolips for centuries. When Darkseid ultimately retrieved the throne, all his people who were with him during the first invasion on Earth have died. I speculated this based on Zack's comments and the line where Steppenwolf said I slaughtered everyone who tried to take your throne. Plus, it may seem that the first invasion happened in Themiscyra. That may have been the main reason why Zeus hid the island. Plus, the Greek Gods may have done something to fully conceal the Earth. I mean, how else are they gonna explain Doctor Fate's existence. You can treat this situation as the same to the role of the Ancient One on why Dormamu never tried to swallow the Earth. There are a lot of other explanations I can think of that can answer your question. The best thing to do is hope for a sequel.

[@MixedFeelers]

Here's how I'd write it: They never came to Earth in the past, but perhaps - through some cosmic accident or something - they lost the Mother Boxes while conquering some other world(s), and have since then been searching the countless worlds for them in addition to the ALE.

[@HuntersOfTheNorth1]

I mean in a better way of explaining than Zack's excuse. Let's say Darkseid's avatar died, and since Darkseid's form in the main universe is a avatar of himself, a part of his consciousness sent out in a projected form. Since this avatar died, he lost all the memories of that avatar eith it, meaning any information about it was lost, especially since Parademons themselves aren't really able to convey start charts. EDIT: I'm going by one of the DC Comics portrayal of Darkseid is that his true form is in a whole other universe, and if he moves to this universe in his true form all of reality breaks. Also including the theory that this is a avatar of his will with a fraction of his power, his full power untapped in his avatars

[@summertyme5748]

He is completely wrong about Endgame though - he doesn't even get that Endgame Thanos is *not* the same Thanos and is not supposed to be because Endgame is not trying to be a sequel to Infinity War which is what he wanted it to be. You need to understand Infinity War and Endgame this way: -> Infinity War Thanos wins - and dies - since he believes in death - his death is his destiny and victory. -> Endgame is the story of what the heroes do with their lives once they realize they've lost the one fight that mattered. *It's not more of the same Thanos - which is what Mauler specifically stated he wanted.* But that's not what the filmmakers wanted. Endgame is a better film than Infinity War and it has deeper themes by far. This is even more clear now that MCU has spent 3 years floundering with no direction (MOM, Eternals and NWH are all disasters)- not unlike the heroes who lost in Infinity War. It's like they are all playing Fortnite with Newbmaster 69, in order to forget the pain.
