i think they already did this with the netflix shows ( daredevil or jessica Jones) where they showed the things the world saving avengers did not care about. Also, the things i found most interesting about the Falcon and the winter soldier were the subplots about racism and that they took the universe they built seriously and thought consequences of endgames happy ending through ( what happens if half of the population is gone for 5 years and returns with the blip)
I prefer Superman II a bit more than the original but both are really great overall. Did you know Mario Puzo (best known for writing The Godfather novels Coppola based his movies on) wrote the screenplay for the original Superman movie? Reeves is fantastic but the rest of the cast is great too, Love Margot Kidder’s Lois Lane and Gene Hackman’s Lex Luther. Even Brando hamming it up has Superman’s father is fantastic. John Williams ‘Superman Theme” is up there with his most iconic work.
I wasn't going to watch all of them but now I'm thinking why not
it looks like they're all on HBO Max so I really have no excuse. I'll probably at least watch the second one. 
maybe someone should hire Cormac McCarthy to write the screenplay for the next Batman movie. I've heard worse ideas for movies.
Now I'm picturing Batman & Superman fighting in "Dawn of Justice" and saying "Mather?" instead of Martha.
I agree with this. A lot of modern superhero films have to cram so much story and so many characters into their two and a half hours that barely anything is given time to breathe. And characters end up not feeling fully developed because the people behind them probably just operate under the ethos that more movies with them are almost guaranteed so they can just give them more development then. It would be nice to see a modern superhero movie that was able to stand as it's own film with a self contained story rather than having to tie in with 20 other movies.
One of the taglines for the '78 film was something like "You'll believe that a man can fly" or something like that. In the 90s, especially during the Grant Morrison relaunch of JLA, there was a lot of consideration given to the DC heroes being like a modern pantheon of demi-gods. I think some of that was simply to contrast with Marvel's more grounded, personality-based approach to characters, but it was also just meant to inspire awe. And it's a cool idea for some stories, but it also elevates the character to a being who has no attachment to our world. One of the tensions some Superman writers have explored is the idea that Jor-El sent Kal to earth knowing that the yellow sun would make it possible for him to rule the planet. But he's still a refugee. And it's the tolerance, humility, and kindness that the Kents showed him that made him identify more with his adopted planet than with Krypton. This is what the Snyder films ultimately miss; what makes Superman compelling is that he's an allegory for a refugee's inherent goodness to shine under the care of a safe adoptive home, not that he's a god among us capable of fighting other gods. That part is incidental.
Did you ever read about Darren Aronofsky's treatment of the Year One story?
Anybody who was a regular reader of internet cesspool Ain't It Cool News around the turn of the century will remember the catchphrase "GORDON HAS A BEER AND CHEETS ON HIS WIFE"
Isn’t this basically already Snyder’s take on Batman?
Jesus. Now do Pynchon.
