Unless it's in Klingon.

The idea that Snyder is super-limited in range, or makes everything "grimdark"
Oh, both Watchman & MoS are serious. Only one is grim+dark.It isn't Snyder who does that, no. My understanding is that is DC's call - they've required that their movies be Serious.

Watched the first hour or so of the extended edition of Snyder's Watchman last night. Haven't revised it since I saw the theatrical run. Two things stood out.
One, it's damn good. There's more distictive style/voice in one hour of Watchman than any 5 Marvel superhero films -- excluding season 1 of Daredevil on Netflix, which really nails Daredevil-as-a-neo-noir.
Two, it's tonally very different from Man of Steel. Like night and day, despite Snyder's bag of technical tricks being on full display. The idea that Snyder is super-limited in range, or makes everything "grimdark" --insert your favorite overused, ambiguous, probably-nicked-from-TVTropes-or-wherever, pseudo-criticism term here-- is kinda, well, wrong.
So I hold out hope BvS will be interesting, if not actually good/great.
Only one is grim+dark.
Yes, to me, Obviously. I'm in the habit of giving my own opinions.To you.
What do you think? Are the tones of the two films comparable? If you disagree with my assertion, let's talk about it.I know several people who find that (what the view as) the complete lack of humor in MoS has the result of making it pretty darned grim and dark, especially considering how the movie ends.
Heh... I could counter going on and on I why I think Snyder's Watchman was successful. But I'll spare us both that! Instead I'll just say -- to me!!-- the film got right what it needed to get right, and yes, those credits were cool. Genius, even.I could go on and on about why I think Snyder's Watchmen is such a poor adaptation, but I'll leave saying that I thought the opening credits were cool.
Ya'll are having a discussion about whose opinion is better.
