I never
really expected to make more responses on this blog. Especially in English. But
it just so happens, that I found the perfect material for this one.
DC movie
fanbase has been on my mind for quite a while now, and I actually intended to
write someday an article about them in particular, but I couldn’t really find a
perfect material for such article. There wasn’t really a worthy attempt to make
a serious breakdown of DCEU films by any of their fans.
Fortunately,
I finally got it. This little gem, written by Scott Lerer, was found by me
accidentally, when the author came into Dan Olson’s mentions, to accuse him of
“not understanding filmmaking”. When I asked Scott, if he understands it
himself, he decided to tell me that he wrote an entire analysis of “Batman v
Superman”, where, apparently, all his deep knowledge of cinema should be
especially evident.
It ended up
being one of the most misguided, hilariously bad attempts at a serious film
analysis made by someone, who clearly doesn’t have a strong footing in neither
film criticism, nor filmmaking.
This is gonna
be a lengthy one, folks, and yeah, I’ll admit, I’m doing it mostly for fun. But
I actually think, that this response will provide a good insight on the
problems with DCEU fanbase, and maybe some other things.
So, let’s do
this thing!
