Dumb for all kinds of reasons, but also if the Olympians are Kryptonian, why'd they do nothing and let Krypton blow up? Also also, both Zeus and Ares use magic on multiple occasions (remember, Zeus is the one who hid Themyscira, Diana later uses a similar spell to make her plane invisible). Thing is, magic is one of Superman's like two consistent weaknesses. So Kryptonians are weak to magic but they can also use magic proficiently? It's worth noting that Superman isn't specifically weak against magic, he just has no special protections against it.

I would just like to add I always found that fascinating, and had never thought of it until I read it in Kingdom Come.

He’s right. If you weren’t paying attention how would you know that both character’s mom’s are named Martha.

Zack's internal monologue when answering that question was definitely "To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice..."

It's possible to understand a movie and also think it sucks, Zack.

guessing no one was paying him attention recently It's just funny that he schedules all these Snyder celebratory Q&A events at the same time that James Gunn has a huge movie release. Still, him pulling an "It's too deep for you, bro" out of his well-used bag of excuses for why his movies sucked is infinitely better than passive-aggressively blaming Geoff Johns, Joss Whedon, and the WB-DC management.

It's just shit, Zack.
Now go make your own franchises that your fans can pirate.

Doesn't matter how lofty the goals are if the outcome is absolute dogshit.

Heavily layered, experimental modern mythology where a guy pisses in a jar out of spite.

I'm not a Snyder hater. Although I think it's flawed, I really like Man of Steel. I think Justice League is Fine (capital F necessary)
I also think that Batman v Superman is an abomination and it wasn't because I didn't understand it. Just thinking of the movie and how Snyder fundamentally misunderstood everything makes me angry. He put so many elements in that movie that he took from the comics without understanding at all why they worked.
If was the WB executive he'd handed that script to, I'd have burned his copy of Dark Knight Returns, took the pages with Superman's death and locked them in a safe for 10-15 years, and shredded the rest. Then I'd have sent every issue of World's Finest I could source to his house and forced him to read them.

He's the guy who read Watchmen and took away from it that The Comedian and Rorshach should be portrayed as badass heroes rather than a cowardly, bullying rapist and a disgusting sociopathic murderer. He never should have been handed the keys to the DCU after that.

He throws in film school level blatant symbolism and he (and his fanbase) thinks he's a genius. There is a good film exploring how the world would react to Superman but Snyder isn't the one to tell that story.

Ironically, Amy Adams appeared in a movie a few months after BVS that did a far better job of exploring how the world would react to alien contact. Denis Villeneuve could probably make a great philosophical Superman movie.
