Quote from: The Laughing Fish on Sat, 6 Feb 2016, 03:38Zack Snyder was asked if the reaction for MOS made him address its criticisms for BvS, and he claims that anyone who read the comics would know that he didn't change Superman.I'm going to say this: If Superman in the comics is someone who makes out with Lois in the middle of a war zone surrounded by people covered in ash and rubble that has collapsed on and killed many people, then that's not a Superman you should adapt to screen as a superhero. I just watched the episode of Superman the animated series Apokolips... NOW! Part 2, and when Dan Turpin, a single man is killed by Darkseid, Superman is devastated. He smashes a tank into the ground, yelling out. It's a well done scene.Quote"People are always like 'You changed Superman'. If you're a comic book fan, you know that I didn't change Superman. If you know the true canon, you know that I didn't change Superman. If you're a fan of the old movies, yeah, I changed him a bit," Snyder said. He went on to clarify that he, as a comic book fan, defaulted to Superman's comic origins and not his on-screen incarnation, aiming to have his Superman "set a tone for the world" and "feel consistent for the DC universe".
"My point is that we don't take liberties [from the character's comic origins]...what we've done is create a place where they can really be the mythological characters as designed in the comic books".

I believe what he meant was that a lot of the critics have been comparing MOS to the Reeve films as the benchmark of what Superman should be.
God bless you! God bless everyone!
