James Gunn reveals more about his version of Lex Luthor

"The central conflict revolves a lot around Lex Luthor's attempts to defeat and destroy Superman. I think Lex Luthor thinks of Superman in the way that an artist thinks of A.I. Here's this guy who's this incredible genius scientist who's worked his whole life to become one of the richest, most powerful men in the world, and he does it all to be lauded. He wants to be the greatest, and suddenly this jerk comes in wearing a cape with a lantern jaw and a cocky grin, and he just takes all of the oxygen out of the room, in every room of Earth, and it creates a burning hatred in the guy."

"As for how Lex acquired his fortune, I think he has invented one of the best forms of battery in the entire world that almost everything runs on. And we don't ever talk about this in the movie, but I think that's where he's made the majority of his money. And now he's in the business of tech defense, making weapons for the government."

Artists are jealous of AI

Gunn just made an enemy of all artfags lol

Who cares

Imagine thinking multiple paragraphs about comic slop

Oh my god these people really are indefensibly stupid. After years of failure all they know is to re-attempt this failure and hope it starts working.

So essentially exactly the same as in BvS?

Lex hates Superman because Supes constantly stole Lex's thunder when they were kids in Smallville.
They are childhood friends turned enemies.

So anything that would give him a semi-understandable foundation for hatred won't be in the movie. Great.

That analogy would make more sense if superman was some normal guy that stole Luther's tech and used it to make himself
Superman or something.

He is a normal guy when the niggertonian aint sucking up all the white mans sunlight

I would suck a penis before watching this slop

Youngsters made Minecraft a hit. Nothing else compares.

Oh wow, it’s that one guy from that one thing…

You

This is the same thing Snyder did with Lex but now that Gunn is doing it suddenly its good and peopel will praise it. What a bunch of BS.

This is pretty much a redo of BvS.
Lex Luthor being a Elon Munsk type who wants to be seen as relatable and cool, and then being mad that Superman exist and get all the attention. Even the defense contract bit with the government is the same.

Minecraft was a huge IP. White and Asians loved it

Superman is also the reason he lost his hair

Let me guess, Lex orchestrate a situation that implicates Superman in some random atrocity or chaos in a foreign country, thus creating an international crisis and making everyone turn against Superman?

>The central conflict revolves a lot around Lex Luthor's attempts to do the only thing the character is notable for doing throughout half a century of media

Wow, what a shocker. Really gets the ol' noggin' joggin'.

chud luthor

lantern jaw

lmao

Zack Snyder should sue Gunn for copying him

I know they want to recreate this scene but it'll never work out with the skinny faggot they picked to play Luthor. People forget that he's supposed to be physically intimidating.

>"I think Lex Luthor thinks of Superman

You wrote the character bro, you should be able to tell.

in the way that an artist thinks of A.I.

Ah, contemporary, trite buzzwords.

Here's this guy who's this incredible genius scientist who's worked his whole life to become one of the richest, most powerful men in the world, and he does it all to be lauded. He wants to be the greatest, and suddenly this jerk comes in wearing a cape with a lantern jaw and a cocky grin, and he just takes all of the oxygen out of the room, in every room of Earth, and it creates a burning hatred in the guy."

"Hard work is for losers" is one heck of a take for a nepotist director.

Also, why are you telling the story on Twitter?

I smell a flop.

Based Gunn comparing the very real fears and struggles of the goyim amidst the recent surge of AI with his latest capeshit slop

Brother isn't even trying to hide his Jewish side anymore.

>"As for how Lex acquired his fortune, I think he has invented one of the best forms of battery in the entire world that almost everything runs on. And we don't ever talk about this in the movie, but I think that's where he's made the majority of his money. And now he's in the business of tech defense, making weapons for the government."

I think

WHERE THE FUCK ARE MY CAR KEYYYYS

Based Smallville enjoyers.

That just sounds incredibly petty and pathetic. Lex is probably one of the coolest antagonists of DC, this make him seem like a jealous Karen.

Lol, no, the people complaining about AI are not people AI "stole" from, if it can even be likened to "stealing" at all.

just straight-up admitting that """artists""" are jealous & petty over AI and that's the source of the conflict

Considering I was fully expecting Gunn of all people to foist some narrative about Lex Luthor being the result of "white incel rage" or some other such current leftist Boogeyman Buzzword combination, this was kind of a pleasant surprise.

Anon, pls

I like it

DESPITE ALL MY RAGE I AM STILL JUST A RAT IN A CAGE

Gunn is an idiot but the idea that thought and effort and consideration shouldn't be put into the conception of a narrative simply due to whatever genre it's in is entirely the reason some genres are able to remain shitty as far as media output.

AI models that produce the slop wouldn't exist if they didn't get fed works/data taken without permission

I'm telling you man. Hoult will be the best theatrical Lex and the new Superman will play an amazing Clark/Superman...but the rest of the film will let them down

No you fucking retard. Lex being jealous of Superman is pretty standard

I smell a flop.

but enough about rebel moon

Lex Luthor is petty and jealous of Superman. This thread is convincing me most of you have no idea what you're talking about and just want to complain

Lex is probably one of the coolest antagonists of DC,

Lex is one of the most competent and dangerous villains in DC but he's pretty much fueled by his petty hatred of Superman. He gave up literal godhood at one point because it meant he wouldn't be able to kill Superman

Snyder did not invent petty Lex Luthor

Read between the lines, anon: Lex is Elon, but the studio said no to making it explicit so Gunn is saying it in interviews instead

Lex Luthor has been a billionaire lunatic before Elon was even born

How could Lex not write a formula down?

Did you read the second panel?

Where’s the lie?
