But the watchmen movie didn't really act as a takedown. Aesthetically it is completely still convinced superheroes are cool, there isn't a whiff of subversion about the Zack Snyder version. Zack Snyder read Watchmen the same way he read Batman Returns. "Wow! Dark comic is cool! What is subtext???"

Id say the subtext is still there, but ill admit i wish it was there intentionally as a choice of the dircetor and not just seeping through the source material in a watered down way.

Everything I needed to know about Zach Snyder I learned from Sucker Punch. The lack of insight combined with the gall to behave like it was somehow progressive was amazing.

  Snyder is the ultimate embodiment of “style of substance”
