Not liking BvS is fine, so is preferring Civil War. What’s not fine is pointing out every single flaw in BvS , or any DC movie, while deliberately ignoring near identical flaws in the MCU movies.
Just about every possible plot point makes zero sense in BvS. The movie isn't fresh in my mind anymore, but I recall at least the 1st hour to hour and a half of BvS being completely pointless because Lex is trying to setup Superman to look like a bad guy to be able to get clearance to get and or experiment with the kryptonite asteroid when Man of Steel already set all that shit up (that BvS shows the ending from it over again as well) and gave a perfectly valid reason for that already. And I think that landed like in the middle of some ocean so why can't Lex just go get it and experiment with it in some different country if the US won't allow such experiments, his company has to have locations all over the world. I believe even the Capitol bombing was still to make Superman look bad to get government clearance, why can't he just buy them off if he really wants this clearance.Then, his plan is so asinine that he uses slightly different bullets in that operation in Africa IIRC that can be traced back to him for what other purpose than to give Lois something to do in the movie but not really do because it's never exposed that it was Lex anyway. Then you have the stupid ass actual fight where Batman uses smoke to hide when Superman can see through that (even the animated movies have more logical fight scenes between Batman and Superman). You have the stupid Martha scene (and like the only reason they did the Batman's parents' death scene was to zoom in on the fact that Batman's mom's name is Martha), you have Superman using the krytonite spear when Wonder Woman could've done that, you have a completely wasted Doomsday, you have Wonder Woman out detective-ing Batman who looks totally incompetent at doing it, Superman can locate Lois anywhere anytime but not his mom, why would Lex's blood plus Zod's blood create Doomsday, and why does Superman let the US government kept the kryptonian ship/technology to begin with...

Nah mate, law of conservation of ninjitsu means there's only a finite amount of ninjitsu available in any given encounter and adding more ninjas just subdivides that amount across more bodies. An army of them is just fodder. Now if there was only one or two ninjas, and the nerd 1hko'd one of those, yeah, tat'd be impressive.
I think it's in perfect accordance with how ninjas are usually portrayed in films. They're basically extreme glass cannons: super capable combatants, but can't take a single hit, which even makes a loose sort of sense considering they're usually dressed in full body pajamas. So that dude knocking a ninja out in one hit makes about as much sense as anything else in that film.
I hang out on reddit for memes and for specific game & application news stuff, but I think people confuse it with an actual live forum. Its largely just noise and automated noise at that. It's highlighting is all based around cross-promotion of certain things and ads, so you could have a thousand more likes than the next comment or post but be below it because you're not generating as many clicks. Even in the smaller fandom related subreddits it's extremely toxic and even THEN a lot of it it just trolls and bots. Twitter is no different so the vast majority of these culture wars are just bots yammering at each to generic clicks. 50,000 posts ranting about wonder woman are usually about 5 actual people and 49995 bots promoting the toxicity for clicks.
I hate when a google search leads me to a reddit page because you just can't click on it and get the whole discussion, you have to click 'view whole discussion' then probably click a few times to continue threads, and if you're on your phone, you have to click to continue in your browser because it wants you to use some stupid app to view a web page.
Question
I've had to use reddit much more often during the pandemic, and my impression is that it was cobbled together years ago by college students, became insanely popular, and never found the time to actually make a decent platform. The reddit UI and UX fucking sucks, even when compared to other social media platforms.

Yeah, not quite sure how that bit was supposed to work. Early Michael Bay, though, that might be the only explanation.
It’s been ages since I’ve seen it but yeah, it’s a Michael Bay movie so the cool shit is occasionally necessitated by plot holes.

Did you watch the theatrical cut or the Director's Cut? If you saw the former, I suggest checking out the latter if you can. Worth the extra footage. Also, the design for Cronenberg's killer costume is one of my favorite slasher villain designs in any movie I've seen. It's simple, but it just looks cool.
I think I saw the theatrical cut, but I read up on the director's cut. Shame they never made a sequel, ending left me excited for one even though I knew that was it.
