i cannot @ people still going ‘thank god dc fired snyder and made the new films more bright not gritty like bvs :))’ how!!! how hard!!! is it to realise that bvs came after the destruction of metropolis, the murder of robin, the feelings of rage that turned bruce cruel. bvs was about a world that was broken and torn apart - not just metropolis but it’s heroes as well.
bruce mourning the loss of the wayne employees, his parents and jason. diana mourning from a pointless war that caused millions to suffer. clark mourning his father, zod and the loss of his birth planet and the realisation he is now the last of krypton. clark’s death brought hope back to this world. lois’s love and clark’s sacrifice gave them all a reason to get back up and fight. if you seek his monument look around you.
the fall of metropolis was a dark time where false prophets like lex tricked the world into following their dark path and clark dying opened their eyes to the light. the bright colours and change in tone in wonder woman/justice league wasn’t done because of the critics, it was done because where there was once cruelness, now there is hope. the world is changing. bruce is changing. diana is changing. clark brought about this change. the justice league is being formed. this was always the path!!!
