Like I said before as a director, i can't be mad at you not liking comic books. Maybe it was their chance to show something in a different light. To let people see them how they see them, even if they may have thought it was ridiculous.
As for Nolan, maybe he didn't want there to be the supernatural in his...set of movies. Tried to keep it as realistic as possible. Maybe that's why he killed Ras.
I'm not going to support to the death or hold on a high horse. But people take on creative works to push them, and that I do understand. Maybe it's me being optimistic, dunno. Snyder's reason for making Zods neck snap could be the same fucked up reasoning we got that bore fight at the end of WW. All I can say for sure is that a different perspective is sometimes needed. The Dark Knight even flawed is considered awesome. And Snyder...has his moments. And that's me not saying either are my favorite directors either - no!
So I'll go back to something else I said: would you be as upset at this not liking comics thing if we were talking about the writers and not the directors? (I'm trying to ignore the fact that Snyder writes some of his movies.)
le sigh
good points
