Thanks for that, perfectly sums up what I was feeling and yet not quite able to say in one sentence, save me much typing, LOL. But you are totally correct, and besides, sometimes a Cigar, is just a Cigar...
The whole thing was ridiculous, it put this veneer of reality on something that can’t survive such scrutiny on that level.
“I need to sue/arrest the Hulk! He raged and smacked the earth with his fists for no reason so hard my mother slipped and broke her hip, a tree fell and killed my wife!”
Did the Hulk commit a crime or is he liable or what?
The other thing is that Mutants were always supposed to be stand ins for some type of repressed minority who couldn’t help what they were. But no one really made a big deal about weirdo alien thunder gods being strange and different. Now the two marvel movie camps can’t let mutants ands avengers be in the same room, or at least they haven’t brought up yet that I know of.

Sounds like a Captain America fanboy doesn’t like Ironman as much. They need to remember that Loki woulda already killed him if it wasn’t for Ironman.
Good writing, there, IMO.
LOLO, that’s awesome. What site gave that recommendation?
Oh, I completely understand the sentiment — though some of the Marvel movies seem to be bucking that. (In particular remember Iron Man [2] where the government was trying to just flat-out confiscate Tony's armor? He basically told them, "you can't legitimately do that, now f-- off"… I mean that came really close to simply citing the 2nd amendment; though it did cite the 13th.)
So, the chance that there would be a good conclusion isn't the near-certain zero it would be.
That’s excellent writing; thank you for sharing it.
when a genuine pop artist like Zack Snyder deepens comics lore into visionary, moral art (the profound Man of Steel and Batman v Superman), many fanboys, and critics, react with anger, resentment — and ignorance.
This is all you need to read in this movie "review."
I can't believe National Review actually pays this clown.
Man of Steel and Batman vs Superman are both embarrassing messes.
“Tony Stark, the George Soros/Steve Jobs–type”
Umm, no, Tony Stark is based on Howard Hughes. He’s a brilliant individualist, distrusts the government, is a womanizer, with mental and substance abuse issues to boot... not like those prog pantywaists.
Yeah, that explains a lot.
Oops, sorry I didn’t post that.
Pff, my theory that Supreme Leader Snoke is actually Porkins the X-wing pilot is better :P
I don’t know if that theory is fully Kosher?
Captain American: Civil War: 92%
Man of Steel: 55%
Batman vs Superman: 28%
I've watched many Civil War reviews on Youtube the past week. Most of them from professional movie critics.
The reviews for Civil War are overwhelmingly positive.
This National Review clown is either a DC Fanboy or is completely incompetent about reviewing movies.
More BS and lies from National Review.
Batman vs Superman was embarrassingly bad. Completely incompetent at every level. From story structure, to editing, character motivations, dialog, and direction.
The same can be said for Man of Steel.
Zack Snyder is a hack, the DC movies so far have been awful, and this National Review guy is a fraud.
I'm rooting for DC. I love Batman and Superman. I just don't like crappy movies.
“Batman vs Superman was embarrassingly bad. Completely incompetent at every level. From story structure, to editing, character motivations, dialog, and direction.”
Don’t forget casting. If Ben Affleck couldn’t pull off a second string hero like Daredevil, everyone with half a brain knew he wouldn’t be able to pull off Batman.
Afflect was a great Batman!
Eisenberg as Luthor was AWFUL.
The problem with ‘Captain America: Civil War’
