Agree or disagree: Zack Snyder sucks at making characters likeable.

and yet you keep talking about them

I like Scott Ward

@ready_4_madness: No they weren't. They were passable characters, but their personalities are the opposite of likable.

@ready_4_madness: So to you, they were nice, easy going, good to have a conversation with people? Because you literally listed the most sociopathic, unlikable characters. Leonidas was somewhat likable, but the guy was murderous and roid raged.

@ghostodoofus2: You didn’t like Victor Stone, Barry Allen, and Bruce Wayne (Snydercut), Rorschach, The German Guy, and Mikey Gomez from Army Of The Dead, or Leonidas? I respect your opinion if you don’t, but I’m curious what you think of these characters.

To answer the question though, I’m not going to say his characters suck, but it’s 50/50 for me whether I like them or not. I liked Leonidas, Snydercut Justice League Batman, Barry Allen, Bruce Wayne, and others, but there was some I wasn’t a big fan of such as Clark Kent, Lois Lane, BVS Batman, Kate from Army Of The Dead, and Lex Luthor.

Rorschach? Likeable? Dude was written to be the most unpleasant man on earth. Like, I get it if someone sympathizes with his sentiments, but finding him likeable? That's something.

A lot of Rorschach's far right wing nutjob ideology was left out and stuff like him driving the therapist nuts through his misanthropic worldview was also absent. Rorshach in the movie was basically a standard super hero vigilante that did the cool karate and flips. Also, by the time the film was made most western audiences had probably been desensitized to what was supposed to be excessive violence toward criminals on his part.

Disagree.

I actually like the characters he dishes out. I like all sorts of character types but I lean more towards the serious, brooding types who doesn't treat anything as a joke.

Agree. The only likeable character is Wonder Woman.

He sure made Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor likeable

@gaoron: I find her the least likeable lol

@cattlebattle: Yeah, I can see some anti-hero type of appeal in the movie version with that stuff considered, something like say the Punisher. But still, I don't know if someone like Punisher is exactly "likeable" either.

Josstice League - I didnt like Cyborg

SnuderCut - I liked Cyborg

100 % agreed

He's hit or miss, but I think he's much more miss than hit. Let's see... there's Leonidas and Queen Gorgo from 300; Babydoll and Rocket from Sucker Punch; Faora from MoS; Wonder Woman I suppose, but I give Gal and Patty Jenkins almost all the credit there; and that's it.

Strongly disagree

Very strongly disagree if anything he actually made Batman, Cyborg and Barry more likable and fleshed out.

PS dont @ me because this is just my personal opinion and I dont care to debate it. Other than that, you all have lovely day.

I'm watching BvS right now, and there are many likable characters.

Kind of agree, tbh, at least for the ones I have seen.

Likable does not mean characters I liked, Zack has made plenty of those. It means characters that are easy to root for on their own merit, not just due to their circumstances. I wanted Leonidas to beat Xerxes as much as anyone, but I didn't emotionally relate to him, as I did to Hector from Troy for example.

I think his DCEU characters are great. Clark being one of the best in CBMs.

He did the impossible and made Steppenwolf likeable in ZSJL

Vic Stone was okay, guess I'm a bit too used to Wolfman and Perez's Vic to appreciate an adaptation of the character (it's a problem of mine), Barry Allen always struck me as more of a self-assured and confident man with a commanding voice (Ezra is far from that), no one Army of the Dead were spectacular (though they're not bad), I would like Leonidas more if he were just a brute general but he's meant to be a king and there's nothing kingly about him needing to be aggressive to show off his testosterone, all macho, no royalty (probably not Snyder's doing, likely Frank Miller's). As for Rorschach, I don't think you're even meant to like him very much (as Moore intended), but I loved Jackie Earle Haley's performance.

As the DCEU goes, only Clark was made pretty boring imo.

All other characters (especially Batman) were still pretty cool.

@krisbishop: It's a shame, Henry Cavill is actually a pretty charming guy in real life, the scripts didn't allow him to shine.
