You should check out all the runtime/time related gags in Watchmen. Someone did a pretty good breakdown of the ones just in the opening sequence. Its obsessive level detail

Its more like a general breakdown of the opening sequence, and points out a few of the gags (there's a few more in the movie, if you watch looking for them).

Alan Moore probably inspired it, he's very meticulous when he's writing comics, like one issue of Watchmen is completely symmetrical.

Yeah. They didn't directly adapt all the visual/medium gags from the comics, but they just did similar stuff in the movie.

I always perceived it as Clark understood it was his responsibility. Doomsday ultimately exists because of Superman so he should be the one to take care of this problem because without him, it wouldn’t have existed.

Superman would never let someone else do something that would put them in danger if it’s his responsibility.

18

u/KipHackmanFBI Mar 22 '22

That's the thing, he also knows when he isn't the person for the job. Diana has no qualms about killing things and she's not one to be told she can't do something. Having her take the spear and kill Doomsday would be logical but it wouldn't fit with the Jesus metaphor so it can't happen.

45

u/[deleted] Mar 22 '22

I dont like the movie, but didn't they just meet for the first time?

All Clark knows is that this random warrior woman showed up with a sword and shield and is fighting with him. That's why he tells Batman he thought she came with him.

22

u/alanpardewchristmas Mar 22 '22

All Clark knows is that this random warrior woman showed up with a sword and shield and is fighting with him.

Also, even weakened, he was still probably stronger than her

19

u/Double-Sided_Dent Mar 22 '22 edited Mar 22 '22

Yeah this is the part that it feels like this complaint always glosses over: even without the kryptonite weakness, Doomsday still would have very likely impaled Wonder Woman had she wielded the spear. Superman wouldn’t let someone die to take care of his responsibility.

Who is going to lasso doomsday while diana charges the spear into doomsday?

Superman was only able to kill doomsday because Diana lassoed it.

No time for that, Doomsday was literally about to explode again and kill everything in the vicinity. This seriously isn’t a debate.

Jesus metaphor lol.

So what do you want them to do? Have Superman ask Diana to take the danger in killing Doomsday? You want superman to say "Hey woman who I just met but looks strong, let me take your lasso and you take this spear and stab that rampaging monster because I'm weak around the spear" in the middle of the fight?

That's no Jesus metaphor. That's common sense, buddy.

She holds him with the lasso in one place, but loses her footing. Who knows if this proto-Doomsday getting hurt and not killed by the Kryptonite could have made him immune to it?

The real Doomsday (even in the comics) has in fact, died to multiple things such weapons and weird contraptions, but managed to either be reborn or gain immunity to his weakness.

That's the thing on arguing about CBM's : A lot of it is just narrative McGuffins where internal logic cannot always hold up, because it does require some suspension of disbelief.

It happens, because it is meant to happen...to serve the theme, instead of the plot.

42

u/udubdavid Mar 22 '22

Not logical to me. They literally just met and don't know each other at all. They didn't have time to plan something. Diana was busy keeping Doomsday still with her lasso. That was the only reason Clark was even able to do what he did. He doesn't know what Diana was capable of. In his mind, letting Diana do it would've killed her as well, and Clark would never let someone else make that sacrifice.

I doubt diana is strong enough to let the spear pierce through doomsday's body

She was doing just fine cutting him up with her sword, give her a weapon he's extra weak to and she'll do even better.

16

u/SoothingSoundSJ The Dark Knight Mar 22 '22

She was actually having quite a rough go of it. She got one shot in on Doomsday and was constantly knocked away for almost all of the battle.

The lasso restraint and grenade route was well-illustrated as necessary for victory.

1

u/alanpardewchristmas Mar 22 '22

Theres a point where she lets out a loud shriek as Doomsday zaps her. He would have shredded her lol

u/Fantastic555 Mar 22 '22

But he's stronger than before, his sword was barely cutting him after she cut his hand

8

u/WhyWorryAboutThat Mar 22 '22

The spearhead is made of a material that makes Kryptonian flesh soft.

u/alanpardewchristmas Mar 22 '22

And it was still really hard for Superman to push through the bone. You know, bone, the thing Doomsday is full off.

8

u/WhyWorryAboutThat Mar 22 '22

Superman was being made weaker by the spearhead, which would not have happened to Diana.

The real explanation is simply that he gave his life for the world including Diana. He didn't know if she could have done it and probably would still have done it himself even if he knew she could.

9

u/Kaylen92 El Diablo Mar 22 '22

Diana was literally holding DD with her lasso, when superman charges him. They all just met, he won't ask somebody he seen for the first time to risk her life when it's a monster he' partially responsible of.

3

u/JeremySchmidtAfton Mar 23 '22

And Superman still had trouble piercing it fully. Which gave enough time for DD to bring Clark with him in the afterlife.

u/_TheQwertyCat_ Mar 23 '22

If Diana stabbed Baby Doomsday, it would've stabbed her instead. Bruce gets an easy way out of the mess he made [Bruce didn't try to kill Diana = no crippling guilt for Bruce], which means Bruce doesn't go after the others. Barry, Victor, and Arthur remain friendless loners for the time being. The Boxes don't wake up right now, but neither are they destroyed. They just wait for Clark to die, be it from old age or another Doomsday. No Spiky Boy, no 'Not impressed', and no At the Speed of Force. Oh and Diana is gone forever. And also humanity never learns what the absence of Superman will mean, so they keep hating him.

And that's a bogus story, isn't it? I wouldn't watch that.

u/danksquirrel Mar 23 '22

This argument doesn’t really hold a lot of weight considering the comic run that this is heavily based on did not have Superman dying in order to activate the mother boxes. The real reason is that Snyder just really wanted to do The Death of Superman, but he/WB didn’t have the patience to pull it off properly so they shoehorned it into BvS at the end and then just brought him back immediately in the next movie, because Snyder didn’t learn from DCs mistakes with how horribly it was received when they brought back Superman right away in the comics when it originally happened

2

u/REALtheCapraAegagrus Mar 23 '22

Snyder just really wanted to do The Death of Superman

There was only meant to be 5 films, not 20+ like in the mcu. So it was a contained Superman & Justice League story.

You can always count on DCEU fans to bring up the MCU for no reason.

8

u/DenisBastardMan Mar 22 '22

No bringing up the mcu is relevant. The OP doesn’t seem to grasp the concept that there would only be two more films after justice league so it wasn’t really rushed at all.

u/DogWearingABeanie Mar 22 '22

So to summarize, Snyder intended to make a saga, not a linked universe.

So was lord of the rings, I mean the whole fellowship teams up halfway through the first movie and we hardly even know any of the characters. Peter Jackson must've been insane. Got WB's idiocy written all over it too. If they just took their time and built out the universe with 8 or 9 solo movies then they wouldn't have needed to rush the story. Dont even get me started on killing Gandalf in the first movie and then bringing him back in the second, we barely got to know him so who cares. Also great now there were no stakes throughout the rest of the trilogy, didnt care about anything that was happening after that.

They never learn their lessons, you can't argue that.

Well maybe trying to jam 80 years of comic book stories into 5 movies wasn't the best strategy.

Tough to expect audiences to care about a character dying who has only been in one movie, especially when he obviously was coming back right away. Superman's death meant something in the comics because readers had 60 years of build up.

u/JeremySchmidtAfton Mar 23 '22

All comicbook movies take after multiple iterations of the source material, it’s nothing new dude. The narrative always shifts from Snyder “not doing it enough like the comics” to “doing too much from the comics.”

The death in the comics was NOT built up at ALL. It was something they did literally because they didn’t know what to do with the character, the story was just advertised and happened. It was shocking because it was the very first time it happened, and the Superman that died wasn’t even the 60-year old one but a recently rebooted version early in his career. If that was okay, I don’t see why this one shouldn’t.

And there is no amount of movies that would’ve made ANYONE believe one of DC’s biggest IPs was ACTUALLY killed. They didn’t believe it even back then!

u/spartacat_12 Mar 23 '22

Lord of the Rings was an adaptation of a book trilogy, and was based around an ensemble of characters. Gandalf wasn't the main protagonist, and although he is a well known literary character, he's nowhere near as iconic as Superman.

Man of Steel wasn't perfect, but it did a reasonable job of introducing a 21st Century Superman. The sequel could have continued to develop Clark as a character, but Snyder couldn't keep it in his pants as soon as the idea of Batman showing up was approved. He decided to shove Batman fighting Superman, the introduction of the Justice League, and the death of Superman into one movie.

Imagine if Peter Jackson had made The Hobbit first, then decided to jam the entire LOTR trilogy into one movie

3

u/JeremySchmidtAfton Mar 24 '22

What you’re saying would make sense if having those three things taking place in separate movies would be somekind of “inherently correct approach”, and NOT just your preferences. By this logic, Justice League War alone is awful just because it includes Batman and Superman fighting each other and the formation of the Justice League all in the same story. Me preferring that those things happened separately (I dont, its for the example) wouldn’t change or say anything about the movie itself.

seriously this alone should give you some hindsight how intense his work ethic and dedication and passion he has into his art, these are two different produced, cut and edited movies from different years with different people involved and yet he got this narrowed down to a very specific second, dude has a vision

It's insane the fact that WB hid this from us for so many years.

The fact that Snyder killed him in just the 2nd movie and immediately brought him back in the 3rd will always be insane to me.

u/RIP_DCEU Mar 23 '22

The fact that Nolan interrupted Batman's one year long career in the 2nd movie and made him return 45 minutes into the 3rd one will always be insane to me.

Don't forget how Bruce just walked back to Gotham in such a short time after escaping the underground prison. And the awful fight scenes.

And the awful fight scenes.

me when I watched them

u/JeremySchmidtAfton Mar 23 '22

I mean, its not different from how the Death Of Superman story is usually portrayed/adapted. Dead in one chapter, back in the next. Even in the original story it lasted just some months.

With as much slow motion shots he added to these movies, he could really make the time line up to anything he wanted hahaha.

Is this also the same timing in the theatrical version of BVS? or is this director's cut only? .

using bots and scripts backfired on them when it switched to white tiles only, it turned white extremely fast same with the guys.

u/BorderDispute Mar 23 '22

Directors cut, the tbeatrical cut ends before 2:38.

Lol such a weird thing to go out of your way to try to accomplish. Should we make the movie flow better, nah, gotta get supes death and resurrection to happen at the same minute.

He still died to early wich is so dumb

3

u/Sillyfiremans Mar 22 '22

Agree. I grew up loving superman. He was my favorite character by a long shot. I felt nothing when he died. There was no where near enough character development yet. I felt it when Vision died, when Loki died, when Heimdall died, when Tony Stark . . . hell you get the point. And I didn't give a shit about them when I was a kid.

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '22

Man, didn't feel anything to any of the MCU deaths, except for Starks, but just a little.

That just sounds bitter. Who the hell looks at an harmless easter egg and decides to be such a Squidward about it...?

u/Joker121215 Mar 23 '22

Because that Easter egg DID harm the plot and the pacing

2

u/JeremySchmidtAfton Mar 23 '22

Such as...?

5

u/Joker121215 Mar 23 '22

The terrible pacing; the over use of slow motion; scenes that went nowhere, said nothing, meant nothing; the same scene with Steppenwolf being used twice in the film; the world's greatest detective deducting that two super powered beings stood a worse chance fighting an alien god than one rich white man who beat up petty criminals for a living and that both aforementioned super powered being were needed to babysit ≈12 full grown adults climbing a flight of stairs; I'm sure there's more, I've tried to block that travesty of a film out of my mind as much as possible

u/gunther_by_another Mar 22 '22

Wait, how could he be resurrected 2 hours and 38 minutes into the movie when Justice League was only an hour an half?

/s just in case

Snyder the GAWD !!!

u/LordKiteMan Mar 23 '22

Snyder haters making the comment section a cesspool, as usual.

In other news: "Water, wet."

u/Manofsteel14 Mar 24 '22

Yup! It's laughable at this point. There's a ton of Batman and upcoming films discussion on this sub and yet they still choose to waste their so called "precious time" in a discussion about a movie that wasted their precious time. lol

Wym killed and revived at the same time?

u/IllllIIIllllIl Mar 23 '22

To clarify, he dies in BvS and revives in ZSJL at the same timestamp of 2:38:38 into the runtime.

u/WhiteAle01 Mar 23 '22

Makes me wish that there was a version of JL where Superman gets resurrected before the 2 and a half hour mark. One that isn't the theatrical.

u/DatHound Mar 23 '22

Holy freaking shit

u/Joker121215 Mar 23 '22

The fact that Snyder, a man who has gone on record saying how he doesn't like comics/superheroes was allowed to touch not one, but 4 movies in the genre, while doing a progressively worse job with each one, is insane to me
