| method114 said: This isn't true at all. The dilemma between both sides is very understandable and believeable in civil war. In bvs it's poorly written and makes batman and superman look like children. Seriously at one point batman is chasing down criminals and superman stops him just to have a talk and doesn't even help stop the bad guys made no sense at all. Batman vs superman also had two major story lines going in that movie and tried to cram them into one movie jus because. Civil war didn't try to do that and focused on one story line. I actually prefer the dark tone of the DC universe but his movie was just not well done. People like you keep coming out and trying to defend it there is a reason your in the minority. There is no double standard. Next time DC should focus on one story Line at a time and make them believable. Like superman should have bee introduced to red kryptonite and gone rogue that would have made bvs believable but it would have take more time introducing it and it would have taken away from the doomsday story they wanted to cram into the end of the movie. Something that should have been its own movie. You don't cram the death of superman into a batman vs superman movie. |
The dilema maybe believeable but its execution is far from it and in some cases more outlandish than in BVS, if people like me are defending BVS in your own words then people like you are guilty of double standards. CW focused on one storyline and came out with the same flaws as BVS and the latter had 40 or so minutes cut from its cinema release for a director's cut mind you.
Case point, people said outside of Batman and Superman that Wonder Woman really had no business in the movie yet Spiderman in CW is the most shoehorned character between the movies but its fine in the eyes of your camp, the villain in CW was basically a cameo appearance through out with only 5 minutes dedicated to explaining his motive, he's one of the most insignificant villains I've watched in any comic book movie and is porbably the worst. He essentially was a weak plot device to get the heroes to fight, well that and Captain America going off his rocker at the mention and sight of Bucky and your camp complain about the lack of fleshing out the story in BVS not to mention the villain's plan was so face/palm worthy and silly it's laughable. They focused on one storyline and ended up making one of the most significant sagas in the Marvel comics history end up being a watered down mess that in end seemed inconsequencial which is ironic as the whole fiasco was built on the consequence of their actions, the storyline by default was already in trouble due to the license conflict between Marvel and Fox. The film is essentially just an excuse to have heroes fight rather than the actual storyline and event it's based off.
As I said it's not a bad film but it's no different to its counterpart as it also shares the same flaws don't give a shit if that hurts the feelings of any fan here yourself included as I don't have a preference between these companies, both films are practically the same to me in their flaws.
