the fact that the 3 scenes sync up so well, is kinda scary. zack is effing crazy good.

The best film content on KZread☕️

This is undoubtedly the best analysis I've seen about BvS.

13:28 I also always thought the whole scene is Batman throwing Superman down into his tomb. Also ties back into that Bat-monster he see's in his nightmares. When his mask is broken while he drags Superman, he kind of looks like a Bat-monster.

You have no idea how happy this makes me !

I just watched this and I got shocked when the blood drips from the tomb in sync with superman's cut on face. FKKKK mag

I always thought that Bruce's reference that the Waynes were hunters i thought it was a reference to Van Hellsing (Batman) to hunt Dracula (Superman). But referring to Ahab is feels way more appropiate for his obsession and rage towards the monster who caused him so much suffering. Great video as always

Honestly, I think with Zack, it's often all of the above. I mean, Lex even calls Superman "wabbit" in reference to Elmer fudd (a perpetual hunter) and Bugs Bunny (the perpetually hunted), Batman is the hunter and Superman, the hunted. The "blood of my blood" line from Lex is certainly referencing Dracula so you could very well be right too.

What I love about BVS is that it can it can be analyzed by many people with different analysis and all still aren't far fetched, but still actually adds to the movie and makes it even better!!! My respect continues to grow for Zack Snyder and BVS

Wow ! This was amazing. I never knew about the parallels of the scenes and to MoS. BvS just keeps surprising me. New things always being discovered. What a work of art this movie is.

I never clicked so fast before on a video just proves the quality your videos are, thank you so much for making this.

absolutely magnificent. every time I watch BvS and MoS I learn something new. and then I see your channel which has a totally different perspective. this is my favorite movie and series because there is so much to unpack. Your analysis proves again that the Snyder team was best qualified to tell this story. we missed out big time on its finally.

Nobody believe when i say BvS is the best cbm of all and im counting all Marvel stuff....great analisis dude!!! epic

Thank you so much for this. Seeing those parallels of sups and bats and when the blood is shed... It got me emotional!

Also, you may have noticed some minor parallels to the epic of Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh begins as a terrible tyrant (much like the way Batman kills and brands people). The gods send a wildman Enkidu (Superman) from the heavens to challenge him. They fight, become friends, and then they fight evil together. Enkidu falls in battle, which really shakes Gilgamesh who then goes on a journey to find an elixir of immortality. In Justice League, Batman succeeds, which is where Gilgamesh fails, unless you count that he still hasn't solved his own mortality and that resurrecting Superman was the only way his Justice could live on. Although, your mention of justoposition also seems to show up when you compare the imagery of Gilgamesh and Enkidu. Enkidu who looks more like Batman with his spear is the one from the heavens, and Gilgamesh is the one from below. www.google.com/search?q=gilgamesh+and+enkidu&rlz=1C1CHZL_enUS785US785&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiuudHg-8bgAhUDVd8KHf7nCloQ_AUIDigB#imgrc=awLpJo_5wt3OAM:

Man of Steel and Batman v Superman are my favorite movies ever. I can watch them endlessly without getting tired of them. Please please make more videos about them. Thank you.

Since your analysis about MoS I am your respectful fan. You know how much time I expect a new video? Today is a special day. Thank you

I have watched this over three times, and i still can't believe how much effort and passion went into the two movies and your videos. Thank You.

MoS and BvS UE are both masterpieces from Zack Snyder, his vision has always been too big for little ignorant minds of critics, bloggers and general audiences alike!

I think the whale motif in this movie also eludes to Thomas Hobbes' "Leviathan" which really drives home Batman's belief that "the world only makes sense if you force it to". BvS has a lot of hints towards Enlightenment Era debates. I think John Locke is quoted verbatim at some point by Holly Hunter

What do you think about Lex being the Greek Chorus in this movie? From what I can gather, (I don't know too much about it), pretty much everything he says is a comment on what's happening with the main characters. What can you add about Lex's character being a chorus of sorts for the plot?

oh interesting. i always felt that way but did not know it was a thing "greek chorus". he's the main one i use for clues about the film's structure and in that way I've always felt him essential. a major thing i will talk about in mos and bvs is directly from what he says. another one like that would be perry white with his wizard of oz references and underdog dreams dashed statement

Dude this is awesome. And congrats on the Snyder cut!

Thank you for this video. As a huge fan of these films, it angers me what has become of Justice League & the overall reception to the DCEU. But I'm happy there are those who also love and respect Zack's work and hope to see his vision of JL be fully realized.

Whoa! That was really great! Your videos make me quite emotional! Thanks!!

One of the best analysis ever. Thank you.

The DCEU is about our relationship with the world and ourselves and how it takes the completion of each of these relationships to establish the other. Between. Betwixt.

Thanks for Posting

Your analysis are so damn well, wish i had known all of this. This movie is a parable in itself. Hats off to you mate.

Do you know the title of the painting behind Diana in the sword of Alexander scene in BVS ?

Very excited for this

Hey man. I really appreciate these videos. At the same time it would be cool if you could increase your coverage. Maybe add in Watchmen as well and from there you can move onto your other fav. While periodically covering BvS. That would be cool and you can grow your channel as well. You seem to be pretty good at this stuff and I am eager to learn more.

I just also want to tell something I noticed in the movie (idk if you have approached this in your videos): There exists a paralell between thomas wayne death scene and 2nd kryptonite bomb shoted on Superman, in both fists closing the glove sound is the same, and both of them get shoted before punching. My only explanation/meaning for this is Batman being the bad guy and Thomas Wayne/Superman trying to stop him

8/Octagonal is a symbol of rebirth.

We failed snyder

I love your videos and am a huge fan of the DCEU myself. Is there anyway you could do an analysis of Wonder Woman? While I'm sure it's not nearly as layered an onion as Snyder's films, I'm sure there are plenty of themes and parallels that have to do with ancient greek mythology. I'm sure you are already working on a multitude of other films and I do not expect a WW analysis next week or even within the month as I know you put a lot of hard work into these videos, but it would be cool to see one in the future. You should really expand out in terms of social media though. Your videos are a huge rallying cry and voice of reason for the #ReleasetheSnyderCut movement.

I love this movie to death and you sir have showed me so much I never even thought of for this movie. I never knew I would love this movie even more then I did. Thank you, you got a new subscriber.

I tend to think the political comparisons are more like a fog, perhaps Lex's fog, whereas the grand myth/journey is about the bigger things at work than where political lines are. Other than your political allusions, which may have more to do with my biases than anything, this was your strongest video yet.

@ReelAnalysis

5 жыл бұрын

Thanks. I think the specific politics being discussed is justified since Batman uses the exact logic that was used for U.S. intervention. Comparisons must be drawn, though I'll readily admit I likely don't have the full picture on that except for some general criticism on media fanning flames and the blundering and vicious nature of the current U.S. foreign policy. I invite you to expand more on your notion of Lex's fog, sounds interesting. :)

@RedLion800

5 жыл бұрын

Reel Analysis Oh, don't get me wrong, the parallels seem justified enough in how you saw them, and I do think it leans more heavily on the media being more than the enemies than anything, it's just something I don't particularly like because like I said, there's always bigger things in play, which is kind of what makes the politics in Dark Knight Returns more peripheral to the story than stark commentary. I'm definitely working with that kind of concept with a more stream-of-consciousness kind article that focuses more on theming than researched analysis. Thematic-wise, I see the movie as an epic about confronting giants in a fog, and that fog is usually a double-edged sword: one side being Lex's fog of criminal, political, and media string pulling; the other side being the perception of the film - good or bad, for better or worse.

Holy shit, 6:00 to 6:33 is the perfect summarization to the themes of BvS. Thank you for putting my thoughts into words.

we got the proper version of Justice League!

We "few"(?) that analyze Zack Snyders movies like this must be a very "special kind", compared to casuals, Snyder haters and apperently a whole bunch of critics, those that complain that Snyder movies are just "style and no substance". Then why do clever people do videos like this? Blind fanboys everyone of us? xD To me things like this is what makes me a Snyder fan, in some(perhaps all to various degrees) of his films, there are lots of things to analyze. To those that see nothing to talk about, or only sees MOS/BVS, even Sucker Punch as visual fighting(or whatever), like a Bay movie with explosions with no substance, I can really just shake my head.

What was the name of the first music?

18:28 Do you think Batman's yell of agony being slightly later than the other two yell/cries is intentional? In a lot of the other side by side scene comparisons you show, the timing is more exact.

@ReelAnalysis

My attitude is there's no harm in reading into creative works that we love. In fact I've given some thought to the delay.. If you notice, Batman's cry matches more with the beast on Krypton. Perhaps it's a purging of his monstrous ways, perhaps it's to convey that Batman's rebirth echoes the rebirth of Superman in Man of Steel. In any case, you can probably tell I love thinking about this movie. :)

The Snyder Cut is no longer a rumour.

Your analysis is great and it proves why this movie did'nt work. These kinds of ideas just can't work on Batman and superman because these characters should'nt be that deep. you can't take a character that have his own History and mythiology and just changé it completely just to make a story that you like. These characters work the best when they are adapted faithfully, the best exemple is when superman and Batman first met each other in the World finest episodes in the superman animated series, the writers of that show knew how to make these two different and opposite characters work together whithout changing the core of what make them who they are.

So go watch Wandavision and get literally nothing from it, just a set up for the next chapter of a hype machine with poppy colors and cute quips. BvS is the most comic book movie of comic book movies. It's a commentary on the mythology and a reconciling of the mythology in the modern world. Literally every major comic book run does things like this with the characters, elevating them higher based on the mythology or deconstructing them based on it. A "faithful" adaptation on your terms is the safer than safe Superman Returns which, like the Donner films, have zero resemblance to the comic books. Read something like Darkseid war and then be like "actually BvS is too deep because I don't want to try with it"
