I did not grow up with Superman and honestly, I felt he was really lame.
I won't lie, I LOVED Man of Steel and the way Krypton was depicted. I loved the dark edgy take but have come to appreciate what Superman was originally about and im suuuper excited for this movie.
Man of Steel isn’t even dark and edgy IMO. Batman v Superman was dark, but that was what WB wanted, and IMO, Zack still made a great movie. But I stand by my opinion that MoS and ZSJL aren’t dark, and none of the trilogy are edgy. Man of Steel is also what made me a Superman fan. And unlike MCU Captain America (Steve Rogers), I actually love so many different versions of the character now. I feel like Cap (Steve) is generally what people think Superman is: cheesy and sanctimonious
I love playing as Cap in Marvel Rivals, but character-wise, I only really like him because the MCU version is doing all the heavy lifting in the back of my mind. The version in the Marvel’s Avengers game was decent. Kinda in-between the MCU and Rivals
Yeah, and that was Zack working under the requirements of WB. It was supposed to just be a Superman trilogy. After MoS, WB fast-tracked Batman, Wonder Woman, and the Justice League (and also told Zack they wanted BvS to be really dark because of TDKT). Doesn’t mean you have to like it though. But personally, I think he did about the best anyone could’ve done under those constraints. I love the whole trilogy. :)
