All while evil aliens/gods are trying to take over the Earth and destroy humanity who are completely oblivious and yet entitled and resentful. We're portrayed well.
Its supposed to be dark, thankless and soul-destroying and bit a of commentary on society. Not to be confused with the duality of man, this isnt Junior High Debate.
Yeah. That doesnt typically make for a great feel-good 'take your family to the movies' kind of experience.
But you either want to make that or you dont. But you should probably know which.

I 100% agree. My point is that when Snyder talks he seemed to want exactly that, and its WB that wanted it more Avengers-ish in tone. And I think that included shoehorning JL in to the series too early which resulted in BvS not being a story about Batman vs Superman but a 2 hr trailer for Justice League.
So because of this, I'm interested to see what Snyder does and fortunately will be able to watch it without much of a bad taste. But BvS really does leave a bad taste regardless. Such a waste of great material.
