Upon thinking about it. Doomsday shouldn't have been used in this film.

It should have Bizarro.

They should have saved Doomsday for the Justice League film.

Nor should they have killed Superman yet. I know it's not my movie, but WB kinda blew their load early with this.

This... Bizarro would of made more literal sense... shoot, I rather it would of been them fighting Luthor in his mechanized suit. But they wanted to fit the Death of Superman storyline in it so it is what it is.

The trailers showed every single part of every fight scene. Everything else in the movie was useless unnecessary garbage. How can anyone that saw the trailers not feel robbed of their money after wasting 2 and a half hours just to see footage we've seen for the past year?

Well of course they showed bits of the fights, and they relented to show the Batman warehouse fight due to damage control of the 2nd trailer..But it wasn't the whole thing and NONE of the final fight against Doomsday, just only the set up. That said, I want to see the extra violence that pushed the movie into a R-rating in the Ultimate cut.

This was the same exact movie as Watchmen. Superman was Dr Manhattan. Batman was Rorschach and Luther was the superhero that turned bad and was behind everything. The movie played out the exact same way like literally the exact same sequence of events and it was the same theologically and ideology

I said this before, but it is inspired by a lot of things from Watchmen as Watchmen was inspired by DC Superheros in general and its take as to how it would appear if superheros exist in the real world. So it isn't that shocking at all that Snyder wanted to do the same for this DCEU. Even his his own words he said "it's the Watchmen in him". That said as I said before, while Dr. Manhattan was growing further detached from humanity, Superman embraces it more to the point of willing to sacrifice himself to save it. While Rorschach was uncompromising until the fatal end, Batman ended up compromising and actually believe in hope for mankind which be basically told Diana in the end. While Ozymandias was the supposed "villain" doing everything to same humanity from itself, Lex Luthor was the villain doing everything to ensure his own selfish satisfactions. The themes expression social climate and theology are similar but the motives and their overall conclusion is vastly different. The sacrifice of Superman put humanity into the belief of themselves sacrificing for others in order to do good as shown in the funeral scene while flowers was place on his fake coffin. The movie is VERY different but have the same vibe as that to Wathcmen due to make a serious movie comparing real life situations that reflects our society at large. As of right now we are in a holy war whether we like it or not to where you got half the country or even the world trapped in religious terrorism and xenophobia. Superman is an alien which symbolizes the foreign people here in the United States that are viewed with discrimination because people fear what they don't understand, and hate what they can't conquer. Lex Luthor represent the latter.

:ohhh: was doomsday not also created by lex?
No...Doomsday is a Kryptonian experiment gone wrong

They took a Kryptonian baby, threw it into the Kryptonian wild, watch it get killed and torn apart because their wild life was insane, then they take whatever is left of the baby, clone it, and do it again and again. Eventually the baby survives a day. Eventually it survives to manhood.

Eventually it evolves into the most dangerous thing in the jungle. Then it escapes into space.

Then it lands on Earth. A planet that revolves around a yellow sun.

No. Doomsday was from Krypton. back in the ancient times and long story short crashed on Earth and been unconscious underground for thousands of years. As a matter when thinking about it, Doomsday would of fitted perfectly from the Supergirl prelude story from the MoS comic where Supergirl's ship (the same ship in this movie MoS) crash on Earth thousands of years from her and another dude fighting and her supposedly killing him. That other guy they could of easily used as Doomsday.

:ohhh:

Yea had I known that going in it would have brought the movie down for me a bit. I hate when comic movies half bake character origins. It doesn't have to be exactly the same but that's pretty big IMO. :francis:

It would have been way better if they did the movie that way and it would explain to the audiences why he keeps getting stronger and more immune to whatever hurts him.

It seems everytime an action/suspense movie's trailer is release they always run through the highlight scenes, no surprises when you go see it.

pretty much why I stopped watching every trailer that releases. I did this for video games as well.
