I have just went and rewatched Man of Steel BVS Ultimate Edition and ZSJL and I have to say Zack’s universe is remarkably unappreciated here is why I think so.

•Man of Steel

Man of Steel is crapped on a fair bit specifically for the scene were Clark kills Zod and people say Clark should’ve just turned Zod’s head, but that is not how it works. Superman and Zod were fighting pretty stagnantly for most of the scene and when Clark finally got his opportunity to stop this he took it by killing Zod. If he didn’t kill Zod and just turned his head he would’ve lost his superiority in the situation because then Zod would realize that Clark doesn’t have the balls to finish the job causing Zod to be even more careless knowing that Superman wouldn’t even attempt to kill him. This would return the fight to a stand-still, sure Clark could’ve handled it better but that is the opposite of the point of Man of Steel. The point of Man of Steel is that Clark just became Superman and that is why in some instances he still acts like a douchebag or I would say he acts human. For some reason people like to try to shoot this argument down by saying, “But Superman isn’t a human.” Your right he isn’t but he was raised in Kansas and taught all the basic human morals and yeah sometimes he loses his cool like when he fucked up that douchebag’s truck but he is still at heart a pretty good dude. But what a lot of people didn’t like was that in the comics Superman is usually shown to be morally perfect in every way with very little flaws that just makes him seem like a very decent super dude. But in reality those moral holes would start bigger when he was younger, in this movie he is 27-28, and Zack originally intended Superman to, “grow over his planned 5 film arc” as he stated in a BVS interview. And if you’ve watched BVSUE and ZSJL you would know that was happening. Another problem people have that I don’t understand is when they say, “There shouldn’t be so much destruction.” This annoys me because c’mon in reality there would definitely be this much destruction if not more.

•Batman V Superman: Ultimate Edition

BVSUE is what Zack intended to be made but wasn’t allowed to be shown in official screenings because of Warner Bros. I’ve noticed that most people that saw this movie didn’t understand it and the people that didn’t see it assumed it was bad because of Rotten Tomatoes critic score the thing is this movie has so much unnoticed dialogue decisions that made this movie so good. Let’s start with the infamous “Martha” scene and let’s talk about why it is perfect. People say a lot that this scene is so stupid because of the fact that Batman flipped his entire motive as soon as he heard that Superman’s mom has the same name his mom had but that isn’t what is happening. In the scene you can see after Clark said Martha Bruce fell back and started pacing as if having a panic attack from PTSD of his mother’s death and Bruce also realizes Clark’s humanity despite the fact he is an alien. Another problem people have with this film is obviously Batman killing I think Zack knew what he was doing but explained it horribly in that interview I think that Frank Miller said it best, “He is so simple in concept that he is open to an incredible amount of interpretations.” That’s all it is Ben Affleck’s Batman is a different interpretation similar to Frank Miller’s an old, gruff, man that has been so worn down he has no care for human life anymore

•Zack Snyder’s Justice League

This is the third and most likely last installment of the Snyderverse (though there is now a chance due to the reestablishment of Warner Max) I loved this movie and there is not much to talk about here because it was received very well.

I just think you have to give this franchise a chance and btw the 4:3 ratio theory really does work.
