<p dir="auto">like watchmen, a lot of revealed in the beginning intro montage in it bruce's dad dies and says Martha while bruce watches<br />
without a doubt this would traumatize a kid and be engrained in them forever,<br />
as superman gets his ass beat and is about to be murdered, with the last thing on his mind being his mom he was trying to save while in a delirious state, would it make sense he would say her name?? hell yaaaaaaaaa<br />
the contrasting of this with the exact same situation of his childhood ( a injured superman vs and injured bruce's dad) would most certainly give him pause.<br />
is it abit silly sure. but does it stand up logically. hell ya I cant believe how much flak this film gets WITH SUCH STATEMENTS AS "THE WORST MOVIE EVER" while xmen apocalypse's logic and the general film gets a pass as "kinda mediocre but oh well".<br />
Xmen made noooooooooooo sense.. from the first scene to the last so nightcrawler can teleport to anywhere hes been or sees? yet cant leave the electrical cage..</p>

<p dir="auto">not a single of my explanations required an explanation OUTSIDE the film..<br />
not a single one. I gave 3 reasons why Martha made sense all based on what the film presented..<br />
how dumb are you?? it says a lot when all the others seals on here clap their hands at this argument that made no sense at all<br />
the characters motivation in BVS ultimate made 100000X more sense than xmen apocalypse</p>

<p dir="auto">lets for a minute endorse this false narrative<br />
if a scene of any sort needs an explanation OUTSIDE the film for it to somehow turn into a good scene than the scene is a failureour entire reason to care for these lifeless characters have nothing to do with their emotional core as a characterbut the logos on their chest<br />
and thats why dawn of justice fails as both standalone entertainment and an adaption</p>

<p dir="auto">If you make a joke and no one laughs, is it because they did not understand the joke or because they understood the joke and found it not funny?<br />
Majority of the people who hate on the Martha scene don't hate it because they didn't understand it, they hate it because they understood it and found it stupid. So no amount of explaining will help it because people already understood it and judged it silly.</p>

<p dir="auto">the whole idea of the film that batman didn't think superman was a nice guy. He thought he was capable of destroying the earth and brought massive destruction to it already (were you asleep for the intro of gotham towers falling?)<br />
remember alfrids quote about rage and good guys turning bad??? derp derp<br />
the Martha line took him out of his rage since it paralled his own history and experience. It held him at bay long enough to realise he  maybe didn't understand everything. and it was shortly clarified that Martha was taken hostage.. wouldn't of taken long for the worlds smartest detective (batman) to figure out that Luther was orchestrating this all and that maybe superman wasn't as to blame as he had first thought<br />
AGAIN so what if he said hes a nice guy? this had no relevance to batman. Martha just happened to trigger a traumatic childhood event. was it cheesy? sure? was it perfect? no. was it on par with other coincidences in other heroes films where their cheesiness and non perfectness are overlooked? hellll yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa<br />
but was it reinforced and well established and reinforced so that when it came up it was plausible and logical?<br />
well if you look at the film objectively then yet, the director, cheese or not, did logically show that this would of mentally screwed up batman when he said it.<br />
again. apocalypse made no sense. from the Egyptians plan to trap apocalypse, to nightcrawlers not escaping the cage, to apocalypse accessing cerebral, to mystique and magnetos motivation, to how they killed apocalypse, to why he didn't just turn them to sand, to do you want me to go on???<br />
I place BVS at a 3/10.. on rewatching BVS ultimate edition, the only one I consider as the real version, I place it at a 7.<br />
is it perfect? is it great? is it even the best they could of done? hell noooooo. but compared to other superhero films that get a pass it stands up.<br />
marvel is 10000X times better than DC at connecting stories and logic.. this doesn't mean though that massive logical holes in fox n marvel movies should get a pass while plausible DC elements should be burned at the stake</p>

<p dir="auto">Well yes, technically it made sense but it was so badly done that it came across as dumb as sht and laughable.<br />
If Superman had said "I'm a really nice guy don't kill me," that also would have technically made sense as a means of making Batman think twice about killing Superman but it also would have been dumb as sht.</p>

<p dir="auto">apparently comparing one hero film to another hero films analysis and criticism is now ridiculous and stupid according to the haters here..<br />
aka the entire foundation of film analysis that analyzes how genres use motifs, character types, tension, plot and other stuff.<br />
damn these people are stupid. again comparing it to xmen apocalypse it off limits according to these sheep.</p>
