To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Zach Snyder films.

The symbolism is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of its complex characterization of conflicted heroes, deep symbolism, and faithfulness to the comics, most references will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Snyder’s unique dark and gritty outlook, which is deftly woven into the characterization of his characters- such as Batman’s personal philosophy, which draws heavily from the philosophical concept few know of called nihilism, based on the death of his parents, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of his greatness, to realize that Snyder’s action scenes are more than just blood and gore- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Snyder truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the depth of Batman’s statement to Clark Kent “Do You Bleed” which itself is a cryptic reference to Julius Caesar’s assassination, in which he was stabbed 42 times by the senate. Batman is the senate. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Snyders’s genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂

And yes, by the way, i DO have a “Release The Snyder Cut” tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎
