>"I'm just more interested in getting into the heart of Lex, seeing how he fits into all of this, and getting to know more of Lex as a human being," Gunn explained. " We saw a lot about the evil part of Lex. He's pretty evil. He, as a character, is really interesting. There's something, despite everything, that is incredibly heroic about Lex. Take aside morality, which is hard to do, but here is this guy who is saying, 'You can hold up a building. You can shoot down planes with your eyes. Fuck you, I'm going to kick your ass because I'm better than you.’”>"Yeah, sure, he's got a lot of corporate power that he can use to manipulate things, but he can't fly into outer space, lift up a building, or punch something across three states," the DC Studios co-CEO added. "I can't help but admire his tenacity and his ego. His ambition is beyond compare. He's the underdog. He's a guy, and I fucking love that." Gunn went on to shed more light on what fans can expect from MAN OF TOMORROW by saying that SUPERMAN "is more comic book-y in some ways," reiterating that this sequel "has to do with the dual characters of Lex and Superman at the center."https://comicbookmovie.com/superman/james-gunn-teases-man-of-tomorrows-heroic-lex-luthor-and-says-its-less-comic-booky-than-superman-a223932
>Stole the movie so hard the sequel immediately makes him an anti-hero second leadLexbros, we won.
>>150499364Lex Luthor shot an innocent man in the head for funHe kept his ex-girlfriend as a prisoner for trying to dump himThere is no way to spin this guy into anti-hero
>>150500311Depends on the kind of anti-hero you go for.Everyone forgets that "villain protagonist faces off with worse guy for the sake of his own personal motivations" is under the umbrella of "anti-hero" stories
>>150499364i still expect that we'll get the All Star Superman ending for Lex by the time the continuity ends.
>>150500382I'd be surprised after how much they used All Star to market this movie and it had almost nothing in common with it.
>>150500311No one cares about some random jeet
>>150500435It's almost like Gunn never read it and was just pulling titles out of his ass or somethingSooner Paramount scraps this dumpsterfire the better
>>150500311He also threatened Rex's baby.Stocked genocide to free up land for his cult, and endangered Metropolis simply to preoccupy Superman.
>>150499364pretty based. jeets and other subhumans will seethe as always
>>150500466>let me post a heroin addict that got cucked to death, heh, this will show all the whites how wrong they are about james gunnlil' jeet doesn't know...
>>150501239Then there's the black holeReally if this franchise wasn't written by a hack there would be no possible way to redeem Lex
>>150499364This is what decades of making Superman's character about muh godhood led to. Lex is supposed to be a scummy industrialist, a literal corrupt mob boss. Him being some true believer in the power of humanity trying to rebel against the gods is retarded nonsense that authors like Morrison added.
>>150500311When will you people learn that non-main characters don't matter and civilian lives are worthless
>>150501352>Post-CrisisByrne ruined Lex by making him into a corrupt businessman. He was better as a science whiz master criminal.
>>150501352This is not bronze age Luthor.>>150501776This is not Byrne's Luthor.
>>150501264Funny, because that's what 4chan is now.>CAPTCHA: N2MAD
>>150499364Lex is an egomaniac who wants to be in control.He hates Superman because he's an uncontrollable force.He can't stand being at Superman's mercy.
>>150501239>Stocked genocide to free up land for his cultNot even. The whole deal he made with that country, as he explained, was just so that he could get US government approval to kill Superman. It was all about that. He didn't care about dividing up that other country to make his own. It was all just an excuse to kill Superman.
