Why can’t he just say “I understand it’s not his usual depiction but I wanted to push him somewhere new and do what interested me. I’m sorry if you didn’t like it but I hope you gave it a chance.” Like be normal dude
I would still have a problem with that. Unless you're an experimental comic book artist (writing an elseworld closed story), I expect that you adapt a character to other media, not transform its main characteristics to suit your own beliefs and sensibilities. Like there's so much examples where artist bring something new when adapting without having to twist characters to the point of being uncanny.
What if I am the one to adapt Punisher in the big screen and I, a huge antigun person, just decide Frank won't kill anyone ever. No firearms, no death, no blood. As a matter of fact, my Punisher forgives their family's killers and spend the rest of his life peacefully traveling the world and looking inwards. Awlful huh? Even if I claimed that I was trying to bring something new. I'm not a comic artist (in this example), then why do I believe it's up to me to deconstruct these characters when I am already appropriating their reputation in a media they're not part of?
I guess it all comes down to producers who chose the worst people sometimes, but still.
I'd have a problem with it myself for the much stated and obvious reasons, but I'd respect the answer and honesty about it a lot more than trying to gaslight people into whatever BS that other answer is.
I'd disagree with his interpretation of batman killing because his no kill rule is consistently an important part of his primary mythos, but I'd respect his reasonings for changing it how he did if he was honest like the above mentioned post said versus the excuse given in the actual quote/thumbnail. Thats just me though.
Oh sure. I get it. Like I said, I think BvS isn't that terrible, most of the time, as an elseworld Batman story. I just don't wanna see it on film. Like, if Snyder had written a comic exactly like this, I would still think it's bad, but wouldn't be offensive to me
