DC Studios

While there's LOTS to say about how the Snyderverse played out I will defend to the death the beginning od Batman v Superman. The scene with Bruce Wayne trying to get through Metropolis to save his people as the Superman/Zod fight is destroying the City did a fantastic job establishing Bruce's distruct and fear of Superman.

Then the rest of the movie happened...

I think they could have done great things with the DCEU if they hadn't tried to rush into Justice League so quickly. The first standalone Aquaman, Wonder Woman, and Shazam films all worked and would have worked without Justice League going before. They could have done those along with a more focused Batman v Superman film and had something special.

While Marvel hasn't been on the hot streak it used to have prior to Endgame, they did an awesome job throughout the Infinity saga, and a large part of that was doing a slow burn establishing the characters and universe. They made 5 films (Iron Man, Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor, and Captain America) ahead of The Avengers, and it wasn't until Thor 2 they even revealed it what the overarching storyline was.

DCEU was Superman then everything else.

That being said, I'm also enjoying the new DC approach of just jumping in mid-stream with an established world where superheroes exist and are a normal thing, and I'm hoping they still decide to do more with the James Gunn DC after Supergirl faceplanted.

i hope the 40k project goes well for him.

*movie(s).

Snyder's superman is petty and angry. He does have a natural inclination towards helping others, even though his parents spent two decades tamping that and trying to get him to put his own safety over everyone else's. But even when he's doing that, he escalates violence, does petty shit, and takes no accountability (not unlike a cop).

Dump a beer on his head? He impales your truck on a bunch of logs. Take Lois hostage? He'll splatter you through 5 brick walls. Batman steps on your terf? He'll cause him to crash his vehicle into a wall, attempt to intimidate him and issue him a threatening ultimatum.

And that's when he isn't being actively reckless and causing needless deaths and destruction of Smallville and Metropolis. His own attacks, entirely within his control, blow up gas stations, train yards, and skyscrapers. At no point before, during, or after, does he show any concern for or accept accountability for all of these deaths and this destruction. That's literally the plot setup for BvS.

The saving people from the fire on the oil rig as well as pulling the bus full of his peers out of the river are the most Superman-like he is in the entirety of the first two movies. That all happens in the first 7 minutes of the movie after leaving Krypton. The fact that over the next 7 minutes he his scolded for the saving those kids from drowning and then he turns that dude's truck into a tree pin cushion kind of undercut it really quickly though.

Its not about natural disaster lol, its about being a hero and getting shot

In hell hopefully.

Most versions of Superman don't have an edge. He's called the Big Blue Boy Scout for a reason.

The question is: Should Superman feel conflicted about being a god?

It's a valid, but not mandatory, theme for a Superman story. So is Superman having angst about his heritage. It's a matter of execution. People spend way too much time asking "is this what Superman is 'supposed' to be" and not enough time asking whether a story succeeds on its own terms or not.

No.

Depends on whether or not he spends sixty years not using his godly powers to help people and instead curates a museum.

Sure but Superman still has to learn to be Superman.

Since I've been rewatching it recently, let's look at Young Justice Superman. He suddenly has a "son"/clone of himself and he doesn't know how to handle it. It takes Batman to help him figure it out.

Corenswet Superman is annoyed with Lois because he knows he's right and she knows he's right but she's still pretending that he isn't. We could argue that it's more complicated than that and that's exactly what the Justice Gang do when they refuse to help but ultimately... Superman was right and they show up to help when he can't. He inspired action from inaction.

Corenswet Superman does love being Superman, but that doesn't mean he doesn't struggle with the responsibility.

I started watching Supergirl last night and stopped about halfway through. I'll probably finish it, but the story didn't really compel me.

imho, Kara Zor-El should angry all the time. In the comics she's recruited into rage powered Red Lanterns. She knew Krypton before it was destroyed, and has to live with being one of the last members of her race.
