every Snyder Cut review I see is either “best DC movie ever” or “just as bad as the original but longer” and like 0 in between, so now I’m extra curious.

#super unpopular opinions arriving in 3... 2.... 1....#the thing is... i'm not a superhero person #like i don't hate superheroes i just don't really care that much #and so i haven't seen a BUNCH of the DC & Marvel films because most of them i'm kinda just neutral on #so anyway because of all this 'will the snyder cut be good??' debate going on i was like 'i guess i should finally watch man of steel'#i haven't seen BvS either #and i FINALLY watched Man of Steel today for the first time and...#honestly... not sure why people were so mad at it #like as someone NOT into superheroes in general i found it held my attention better than a lot of those films #and it actually bothered to try to make me see superman as a person and not just a superhero which is my big issue with a lot of superhero #movies- that is that as a non-fan i feel like a lot of them put practically 0 effort into drawing in people who don't already care about #the characters and therefore i find a lot of the characters difficult to care about #particularly the characters who are in the ensemble films but don't have their own #like i pretty much have 0 clue who you are so your scenes are having 0 emotional impact on me #and i'm not saying that's necessarily inherently bad filmmaking- just that when you make something specifically catered toward pre-existing #fans then it can be alienating to people who are watching your films who are not already your fans #ANYWAY all that being said my personal favorite superhero films are either the really comedic ones or the darker ones #like Nolan's trilogy #or Guardians (though i MUCH prefer the first Guardians to the 2nd)#and I also have a theory that Guardians worked so well for me because it's one of the Marvel films that DOESN'T assume any audience members #know much about the characters because it wasn't one of their biggest properties #ANYWAY all that to say- i liked Man of Steel #I'm gonna watch BvS Ultimate Edition soon #very interested to see if i also have an unpopular opinion there because i have heard TERRIBLE reviews of it #personal #td
