    I personally liked how the character evolved in this and even in Justice League. When he started out, he seemed like a modern day high energy high pressuring salesman whose pitch was a weapon that could kill Superman. Reminiscent of Gene Hackman's evil Real Estate version. Then when he tells the scout ship to teach him everything, that's when he started to slip, partially due to the knowledge he's learned driving him nuts as well as Darkseid's influence on him pretty much frying his brain. Then after all is said and done and he's out of Arkham, he's more calmer, cooler and collected but he still wants to kill Superman.

      @@ChatrboxCB Dude, they did explain why he went psychotic. It was a series of factors. The psychosis was already there when he made mention of his abusive father. It amplified when he gained access to the ship, because as a result of fooling around with things he barely understood, he got into contact with an entity so bad that it makes what he does look like child's play. Darkseid, through Steppenwolf was able to influence Lex. He was already a bastard, but the influence made him a bastard of biblical proportions, but as a result, his sanity was starting to tear away. Watch his performance again from beginning to end, only this time imagine a human brain slowly melting like a candle whenever he starts slipping further into it. That's Darkseid's influence.

    We can clearly see in this scene that Lex Luthor hates powerful men who in public are kind and charismatic, but in private they are violent and cruel, like his father was to him, and like his father was raised, in West Germany, where Hitler played the charismatic leader and brutal dictator, and people cheered him with flowers and claps, like the businessmen did to Luthor's father, that used to beat Luthor Jr. in private.
    And that's why he hates Superman, because he doesn't have this duality of being a good inspirational man ain public and a bad person in private, so Luthor wanted to exterminate him so bad, because like he said, "if God is all powerful, he cannot be all good", and he wanted to prove that Superman icon is a fraud and tried to turn everyone against him, in the Africa incident, in the bombing in the Capitol, and even making him an enemy to Batman, because he doesn't believe in someone who is good all the time.
    Lex Luthor character is just brilliant.

      It wasn’t bad, it’s just not the aesthetic look Lex is usually portrayed with especially after the animated universe. Lex is a bit like Batman. He’s physically and mentally one of the greatest humans, and so that, along with his riches and life, make him feel like a god-man....until he meets the actual God-man. And that’s part of his character usually. Meanwhile, Jesse Eisenburg aesthetically looks like the Riddler or something. Even some of his mannerisms. A different and changed, but still solid and good portrayal and performance. I feel about this the same way I do about the new Batman movie coming out. That’s it’s gonna be GREAT, and that Robert Pattinson is gonna kill it, but that Pattinson aesthetically would have been the PERFECT NIGHTWING or Robin. Tall and (comparatively) lanky.

    Really love the eccentric spin on Luthor, as despite it's prevalence, he's really ruthless and morally depraved just like he is in the comics. Him wanting to use the kryptonite as a deterrent against Superman is RIGHT out of the comics even if it isn't his primary reason for wanting him dead. His reason for hating Superman in this film actually makes a bit more grounded sense than some comics where he's just jealous of the man of steel and believes him to be an obstacle course for mankind's evolution. Luthor's hatred of him in here stems from no one good and powerful rescuing him from his father's abuse. Superman, representing both the good and the powerful, is a psychologically harmful reminder of those "abominations".

    • @neonrodenson1480
      @neonrodenson1480 8 лет назад +26

      ***** Well, this is only Luthor's first appearance in the DCEU. He needs to start somewhere. Eventually, he'll grow into the Luthor you are more accustomed to. That seems to be where they are taking all of the characters. Having them go through crucibles and trials in order to shape them into the characters you love so dearly. Besides, I think this Lex already had many of those things you mentioned. You see his scientific/inventive prowess in this film and you see his unlimited resources that he uses in his schemes. And while Superman is gone (temporarily), Luthor still feels powerful. He doesn't care that he has been locked up and wasn't afraid of Batman at all. His smugness all throughout means that he clearly has more tricks up his sleave. But when Superman returns, he'll probably have that same inferiority complex. Right now, it's difficult to judge given the fact that BVS currently stands as the first and only appearance of Luthor...

    • @neonrodenson1480
      @neonrodenson1480 8 лет назад +24

      ***** Jesse's Lex was said to turn LEXCORP from an oil machinery business into a technology conglomerate. This wasn't done by his father, it was done by him. As for his scientific prowess, he used Zod's fingerprints to access the scout-ship (with his bare hands) and reverse-engineered a genesis chamber to use for the awakening of Doomsday (as the genesis chambers in MOS were far smaller). You also recognize how manipulative Luthor was, hence his ability to get Superman and Batman (though mostly Batman) to show a great deal of mistrust for one another. And who says he believes in these deities? He was just comparing Superman to them given his abilities and actions. As for the abuse part, it would make more sense to non-comics fans if Lex's malevolence and hatred towards their enemy was inspired by their dark pasts as opposed to them hating their enemies simply because they are jealous of them or believe they are hindering Human evolution like comics Lex does. And like I said to you before, remember that this is only his first appearance in the DCEU. It's the start of his arc. He'll grow into the Lex you like eventually. The creators just want to tell the story more gradually and differently. It's just like with Superman. MOS was about his introduction. BVS was about his career going forward. And JL will feature him as a beacon of hope, now that the world generally considers him beloved. Personally, I think it is far more interesting to see these characters develop into whom they are destined to be rather than be them from the start. That's especially true when you put them in movies and need compelling stories outside of what comics fans will enjoy...

The movie hasn't included the phase of Luthors growing character; meaning it doesn't show him earning these things himself, because he already has it ( so if a movie(sequel)based on him comes out, they would show how he got where he is) and 2. You said he was an atheist, everything he says about god is said in a mocking way, it's his way of justifying his belief and opinion about god.

      His plan in the movie is just stupid, he doesn’t want to rely on the “kindness of monsters” so he makes another monster???? And then this monster is worse than the last one because it CAN’T be reasoned with. So his plan was to just make a bigger problem for everyone. He doesn’t even benefit from that because he still gets arrested for creating Doomsday.
      That’s the problem with Lex in this movie and Snyder’s DCEU as a whole, it thinks it’s smarter than it is. But when you actually put the plot under a microscope, the whole thing falls apart because the story is just nonsensical. Not to mention that the characters’ motivations are all over the place.

      As a character on its own, I don’t think Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor is bad, but it is an awful adaptation of the character from the comics.
      Look at any other version of Lex in any other media (Smallville, Superman The Movie, Lego Batman 2, the DCAU, the Super Friends cartoon, DC Universe Online), literally every single one of them adapt the character and Lex’s relationship to Superman better than this movie. Those are Lex Luthor, this is not. It’s an interesting interpretation, but you’re either lying or stupid if try and claim that this is what Lex was always like. And trying to lie to prove your selfish opinion, doesn’t change the facts.

      The whole point of Luthor in the comics is that his ego is too fragile to handle Superman stealing his thunder, and becoming the hero of Metropolis (a title that Lex had held previously).
      Lex Luthor should not be a sympathetic villain. He represents the worst of humanity (its greed, wrath, its over indulgence), which contrasts with Superman (who represents the best in humanity).
      This Lex doesn’t serve as any kind of foil to Superman, because he’s just some random tech mogul. I think having Lex be an homage to Mark Zuckerberg and others like him is interesting commentary, but it doesn’t fit the character. Not to mention it just takes away from him and Superman’s overall relationship if Superman is just some mopey idiot and Luthor is a weirdo analogue of Mark Zuckerberg.

    This version of Lex is one of the most interesting ones that we have had to date that encapsulates all aspects of Lex as he has been and not just one version. Everyone knows that Lex originally started out as a mad scientist type of villain with the red hair and the flying city. Now that whole obsessive hatred for Superman and the bald head came along at a later date and time, originally he was pissed off because Superman kept getting in the way of his plans. Now then Lex's whole businessman alpha male BS crap didn't happen until much much much later on in the 1980's based on Donald Trump and Ted Turner. Being overweight, frumpy looking with cigars etc etc. And that came about through modern re-interpretation that became popular and ingrained into the mainstream culture etc.
    He has gone through a number of reinterpretations and revamps as have the majority of the characters through the years to fit with the times. Through the years he has been mad scientist, tycoon businessman (which has also been changed through the times) mastermind etc. The businessman aspects have been changed numerous times going from the frumpy businessman to Alpha Male to basically the comic book version of Heihachi Mishima of corrupt businessman miser who is keeping an excellent public image while pulling strings behind the scenes. Jesse Eisenberg's version is a rare example that encapsulates all of the versions. And before anyone tries to say that Lex is not a villain, he's an anti-villain/anti-hero that is different versions from non-canonical issues. You might find it common for Clark and Lex to team up and work together more frequently nowadays but he is still a selfish opportunistic bastard that wants to be on top and still a villain.
    It is also one of the smartest versions in films and live action by him knowing who he is off the bat. It's also heavily based off of the Superman Birthright comic which Zack and everyone has stated. As for the argument I've heard from my friends of "Lex shouldn't know who Clark is. He's not interested in knowing who he is etc." Birthright Lex has him literally monitoring Superman's activities, he even does push Lois off a skyscraper etc.
    In the comics for MOS-BVS Lex is actively collecting information on everything to do with Superman and keeping tabs on Batman in the aftermath of MOS. So he's spent over a year putting this plan in motion. This version is a modern interpretation that combines all these aspects and uses the Birthright version as a template: He is an eccentric business man of a modern day Fiction 500 company and to go with the evolution of the times LexCorp has been rebranded and remade as a tech company rather than stockbroker and oil industry one who has this good public persona (probably learned it from Lex Sr) but is a scheming, manipulative bastard behind the scenes who is consistantly looking for ways to come out on top, a mad scientist with R&D projects and using Zod's body for Doomsday and a friggin mastermind who comes damn near close to succeeding in his goal of debasing and killing Superman. This is him starting out much like Clark was starting out in MOS and by the end of it and by extension Justice League, he evolves into the more classical version of Lex that everyone is familiar with and probably wanted.

      VERY well said. I totally agree that his version encapsulates all of the versions to one degree or another. We get the businessman (for the first time cinematically), the political schemer, the criminal mastermind, and most importantly to this version, the mad scientist which goes all the way back to Luthor's origins in the comics. I love the idea of having the character grow and evolve into the more calm, collected Luthor similarly to how he evolved in the comic books from crazy supervillain to a suaver, more sophisticated version who hid his evil very well. I totally agree with you that he evolves by the end of Justice League, and this is why I was *dying* to see his Lex controlling the Legion of Doom in the sequel. Not sure if we will ever see that but with the Snyder Cut coming out to HBO, I guess there is hope! fingers crossed 🤞

    Personally I love this portrayal of Lex Luthor. I think what some people could not understand is that Snyder likes to "peel" his characters. For example, Superman wasn´t Superman at his very best until the very end of MoS (after he kills Zod thus taking the vows to never kill again and understanding the limits he as Superman should have); On the the other hand Batman wasn´t really Batman until the end of DoJ (after he realizes that he has cross the line thus returning him to the feeling of hope that man can be good) In my opinion of the subplots of DoJ was Lex Luthor Begins, I love that they have make him younger and pretentious and by having his head shaved at the end we really see the true Lex Luthor. #releasethesnydercut

    • @stevemudkip4701
      @stevemudkip4701 9 месяцев назад

      Personally I enjoyed this incarnation. He reflects the frustrated youth who struggles to reconcile the suffering of mortality with the existence of God. His erratic and jumpy behaviour bely the constant turmoil he experiences. The clash between rationality and primal emotion. He masks it with a positive spin in public but when the mask is taken off he expresses a deep hatred for the structure of reality and the perfect catharsis of proving the flaws in reality comes in the form of Superman, a godlike being that for all intents and purposes acts as a God over humanity. Being an awkward silicon valley type/tech billionaire is the icing on the cake that adds a sense of modernity and relatability to the version of the character.

Lex is obsessed with power, he was abused when he was a child, so he grew up to believe that anyone with more power than him is an enemy. He can't stand the feeling of powerlessness caused by Superman's mere existence... and he wants people to praise him more than anyone else, as they did before Superman showed up
