I've not actually seen the DCEU Snyder films (or actually any DCEU films at all lol, which is odd because I love capeshit but here we are) so I've only know what I've heard second hand. I don't know shit all about their politics so I don't know if there's anything specific that CHUDs latch on to?
I have seen: 300 (which I enjoyed but I was pre-woke then and I'm aware it has some pretty shit politics)
Watchmen (which as a super-fan of the comic I quiet enjoyed for being what I thought at the time was super-faithful adaption, until the ending which I actually preferred to the comic's for making more sense, but I'm aware there's some really good criticisms from leftist fans of the comic about how Snyder didn't actually understand Watchmen but I've never been able to find something in a digestible format about it, just offhand comments in Shaun's twitch chat)
and Sucker Punch (which I enjoyed at the time as dumb fun and because cute girls in hot outfits, I saw it a bit before I started to get woke on feminism though. I have seen defenses of the film from a feminist angle [from MovieBob, lol] that vibe with me but I think in the end even if they were TRYING to do a weird deconstruction/satire they so clearly failed at it based on the reaction, too many feminists hated it and too many men didn't get the subtle message and loved it for what it was pretending to be. So whatever they were trying to do failed too spectacularly for me to give them credit for what they were trying to do.)
I do find it odd though, on the subject of the main question I'm asking here, that Snyder apparently tried to make a subtly feminist movie that involved tricking horny nerds into seeing it and then getting "sucker punched" by the movie's message, but super-fans of the director are all rightwinger anti-feminist nerds who hate Brie Larson?
Please someone explain rightwing superfans of Zack Snyder to me thank you.
I did mean Laurie, got the names mixed up. Laurie and Night Owl and a lot of side characters aren't bad. It's not like...everyone, just most of the main cast.
It's weird that this transcendent being nuked Vietnam as well. It's literally a case of God Exists and He is American. Dude doesn't care about the difference between a dead body and a living one cause of particle count (number same, thing same, capitalist brainworm) but can tell the difference between a middle aged woman and a teenager and chose the latter. Dr. Manhattan could even be seen as a metaphor for America in general. A normal doofus falling somewhat ass backward into unlimited power and losing all humanity in the process. I'm learning all of this as I'm typing it btw.
Adrian is Elon Musk with actually impossible abilities that he got through pure willpower. He's a hyper capitalist and owns the biggest corporation in the world. Regardless of his motives, which the results of will be uncertain anyway, he had to become Jeff Bezos x10 to do so. He's Elon Musk cause his plans probably won't work.
Comedian is for sure exactly how I remembered him except I found his backstory much less sympathetic.
