I love how the parental influences of Bruce, Clark, and Lex play a huge role here.
Exactly. Imagine if Superman’s parental influence was either from lex or Bruce. Superman would be so much more different
Parents usually serve as proxies for the real world
Deezy24 explain please
Jesus had no proxy. People tried to speak for him... but they all get cut off from God. Nobody speaks for the real Superman. #JESUS
@@diegoleon3122 yeah, via one's parents, people are usually exposed to things like kindness, harshness, and even malevolence. All the things they'll experience in the real world throughout their lifetimes. They usually are first, at some level, experienced via parents
"If God is all powerful, he cannot be all good. And if he is all good, then he cannot be all powerful, and neither can you be"
Yeah his motivation was pretty fucking clear to me
This just speaks to how dumb the bloggers are.
That makes no sense tho. I’m a Christian that can answer all dounts
@@Q_reezy it does make sense imo
@@zhengyingli no one said anything about his motivations being all clear 🙄
I read this while the guy said this
'Mother of a flying daemon must be a witch.. and punishment for witches is death by fire'
Kal-El's real mother Lara died from the fires of Krypton's explosion
:O
I think this more of a reference to how the man that is keeping watch on Martha is holding a flame thrower and will torch her if Superman disobeys Lex
2:33 Superman just became Christian Bale
Lol
WHERE ARE THEY
@@ArtiPok RAAAAACHEAAAL
Where is sheeeeee
harvey dent, can we trust him?
I love the next line he says before he leaves. "Mother of god, would you look at the time." LOL
I love that line too
I love that line too
He sounds like Graham Norton in Father Ted in the caravan episode when they've been up all night and he's delirious and he won't shut up.
Grade A Savage
Lmao makes me laugh everytime savage af I really thought eisenberg did a good job
"and now god bends to MY will!"
Such a good line wasted because Jesse Eisenburg.
+FrugalFellowsFashion Gotta say I loved Eisenberg's delivery of his lines... he spoke them with passion and as if he really meant them.
+insanityman84 Hi. Thanks for sharing this. I keep trying to remind myself that Lex is only getting started. He seems to be a very complex thinker even now. It makes me wonder what schemes he'll invent in the future. I am convinced after reviewing everything he did in the ultimate edition that I would never want to be his target. He's scarier than I originally thought.
He may be a good actor (though I'm not a fan) but he's no Lex Luthor.
And I'm of the opinion it wasn't a good interpretation of Lex Luthor. We're allowed to have different opinions, yes?
1:15 Man, look at this beautiful shot.
The bat across the bay is waiting for the god, and Lex is in the between of them explaining how he manipulated both of them. That cinematography folks.
Agree, but my only problem in this scene was if they were that high, the wind should have been crazy. 😂
Anyone notice that when Clark first sees Martha's pictures, the music playing is the same that played in Man of Steel when his own mother had to send Kal away. It was such an emotional moment in both movies.
That was one of the first things I noticed when I saw this in theaters.
I love how fans of the film are openly expressing their love for this movie and they truly understand what the film was all about
Me too
Kalyeb Gordon Martha
exactly
It's not super hard to understand the film
It's the execution that is why it was critically slammed.
Exactly
Every boy's special lady is his mother.
So damn true.
Hope Sorrowgrave, The Outcast you good bro?
@Hope Sorrowgrave, The Outcast I'm sorry to hear that
@Hope Sorrowgrave, The Outcast are you her true born?
@Hope Sorrowgrave, The Outcast why do you hate her? What did she do to you?
@Hope Sorrowgrave, The Outcast do you still live with her?
0:56 Amazing Line delivery. I feel like I can really hear his Pain & Struggle with what he’s trying to accomplish
Yep
On an aside: He uses the typical flawed logic. "If God is all power, then He can't be all good. If God is all good, then He can't be all powerful".
The flawed logic is assuming this temporary life is all there is, then uses that faulty assumption to judge what is "good or evil".
If someone has everything anyone could ever ask for in this life, including perfect health, but ends up in heII, that combined lifeline is evil, not "good" that we'd call it.
If someone goes through the greatest suffering here, but ends up in eternal life of no more suffering, disease and death, then that combined lifeline is good, not the "evil" we'd call it. Even more-so if God noticed that the suffering contributed to a person's repentance / eternal life, and stopping it would lead to them never repenting and ending up in heII.
I encourage people to re-read the gospels, then the rest, and forget what any religion / church / denomination has told you they say - almost no churches are following God / Jesus Christ, just individual ones - far less than 1%. And you'd have to visit it to find out (starting with which denominations are clearly not, while some might be).
Ephesians 2:8-9 *_"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast."_*
Titus 3:5-6 *_"Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;"_*
Acts 16:30-31 *_"And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house."_*
Romans 10:13 *_"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."_*
John 3:16 *_"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."_*
James 2 talks about how many who CLAIM they are saved by faith really are not as evidenced by it not being followed up by a lifetime of works. Works are how people can tell if a person is realIy saved (living faith) or just kidding themselves by falsely claiming it (dead faith).
lol @ amazing. Eisenberg is a retard and easily the worst part of this movie.
@@ForumLightIt’s nice to know you do not value human life
“And now god bends to my will”....the line is so powerful🔥
1:59 "Every boy's special lady.. is his mother"
This scene is great. Lex was abused by his father as a child and no divine intervention came to same him, so he believed God cannot exist. He wants to prove Superman is a fraud. If Superman dies, then he can't be a god because gods cannot die. If Superman kills a man like Batman then that proves he isn't as good as people believe. Either way Lex wins.
LMVStudios Funny how people still think he's "Lex Jr" 😂
Sucks that the movie was shit. I just hope the Batman movie is good.
@Daniel Appleton
List of the wasn't exactly the sane person sometimes
Lex luthor: I realize that the meteor it's a gift from the heavens and it's going to Scourge Earth of millions Maybe billions of people that the planet can't handle.
But superman doesn't even claim to be a god nor does he embrace people calling him one.
@@finnheisenheim8274 No, but people worship him like one, and so Lex personifies God into Superman which in turn transfers his hatred for God into Superman.
8yr me pretending to throw pokemon cards like a badass
2:23
Lol
Lmaoo
XD
" Every boys special lady is his mother " - so true. That implies on lex much more to save him from his father.
Especially if you put it together with that line from The Crow, "Mother is the word for God on the lips and in the hearts of children."
I loved this version of Lex because not once in the entire movie does he show true fear. The fact that he's essentially a scrawny, little man with no physical capabilities and never backs down from anyone, not even Superman, is a telling sign of his character. He's a disturbed young man with a God complex and he thinks so highly of himself that virtually nothing can shake him. Great depiction, in my opinion.
tangoman75 This is true, hell throughout the movie when he cuts his hand to summon doomsday or at the very end where he wimpers when Batman punches right next to him, even in this scene where he nervously laughs yet uses his words to stay on top, truly amazing.
tangoman75 he showed one moment of fear though when Batman said he's gonna go to arkham asylum instead of a loving mental hospital but I love this version of lex nonetheless.
fireyayo91 Exactly he fits this movie perfectly.
He is Lex Jr, not a young Lex
JoeyBoyNation Jesse Eisenberg is a great , interesting actor , Lex Luthor is a fascinating character , it is just that he could be less maniacal and more serious and clever .
"And now...God bends to my will."
Fucking brilliant villian!
that line was deep!!!
If I was in that Superman story, I would choke Lex Luthor to death. I would never choke anybody in real life.
Man, this movie was a masterpiece when you understand it in depth. What a masterpiece by Snyder. He's the best. This and man of steel were really great.
Yes this movie is best and better than all marvel movies but people cabt understand this movie
Have u Seen the movie the art of self defence? The actor is lex Luther in this movie. Its a very funny movie. Must watch
@@brightburnedits4278 technically kick ass is marvel and nothing beats kick ass tbh
Haha ur off a perc ur wrong this movie was ok nothing special
The only flaw is why the fuck was Batman so hell bent on killing Supes
0:31
The theme of the film, power has bias, but it went over everyone's heads. The fans, the critics. Lex is pissed that the being he views as god has priorities. While Superman is willing to intervene in a Civil War (the one Lex orchestrated to make Superman look bad), he didn't intervene when he was physically and sexually abused by his father. Superman's facing the consequences of not being able to save everyone, the consequences of not being omnipotent. So to prove to the world that god has bias, he set up the climatic fight between Superman and Batman. He wanted to prove that Superman was willing to kill Batman to save his mother, who the world views as some random woman. This would embarrass Superman by making him go against his morals, and it will prove he's a threat because who else would he be willing to kill. Who would he be willing to sacrifice in order to save someone he values more? This is the meaning of this film, Superman's depression, Lex's plan, Batman's vengeance all revolve around the fact that Superman can't save everyone. And Superman's alone as no one can understand his dilemma. This movie's a fucking masterpiece.
You understand this movie better than useless critics.
As deep as this movie may have been on paper, it did not translate well on screen. That's where this movie failed.
Agreed, good job. It's just that contrary to popular belief superman is NOT A DEITY!!! yes he has powers but he is NOT omnipotent and it's natural that he can't save everyone. What he is really facing is the infinite greed of man combined with lex's God complex. People demand the impossible from him. Bruce has every right to be suspicious of superman for fairly obvious reasons but they should really give the guy a break. I don't know why everyone thinks that superman is a deity, why because he can fly, has super strength and stamina, has heat vision and cold breath, all of the above maybe? How does that make him Divine? He is simply Powerful and despite his origin he was raised like humans he is taught the way of humans and he is ( in a way) a human with hopes, dreams and feelings. Basically he is just like you and me so imagine the world expecting YOU to save everyone to be perfect and to be there ALWAYS. Now imagine what that feels combined with the hate and ungratefulness of some people. It must be inhumane.....
@@falserizufferezek9394 marvel movies are easily understandable but martin scorsese call them theme parks.lol
This scene was inspired by the Euphythro dilemma.
This scene was so epic. One of the best comic book villain dialogues along with The Joker's interrogation, Bane's Blackgate Speech and Green Goblin's speech on the roof with Spider-Man.
vulture's ( Micheal Keaton) monologue about " guy's like us "
@@yonjon7034 nah that was utter shit
This Luthor had the best dialogues.
"No man in the sky intervened when I was a boy to deliver me from my daddy's fists and abominations " - Lex Luther
Later on Superman, a man in the sky, literally intervened when Doomsday's, an abomination, fists from punching Lex
Little details like that made this movie phenomenal
Phenomenal seems like a bit much. Slightly less bad, sure, but this isn't anywhere near phenomenal.
I’m starting to like the dc because black manta and the other villains like EVERY VILLIAN IS AWESOME their motives are awesome like black manta his dad died infront of him and lex
This movie is awesome
@@viscoselight2348 You're just too stupid to understand.
@@MrDoom885 Lmao, that always seems to be the default response with y'all. Y'all never seem to make a defense for this movie or anything, instead y'all stick to basic comebacks.
I understood the movie, problem is that it just wasn't good.
2:10 - His eyes are so dialated, it's freaky. I can't tell if he's excited or scared. Or both.
He looks likehe is going to cry
This scene alone is the reason I absolutely love Jesse Eisenbergs unhinged portrayal of Lex Luthor
How can anyone hate a hero who has deep, emotional care for his mother?
Probably because he never smiles and always has the 'my dog is dead' face
lets name some instances where he could have smiled but only be appropriate since him being mocked, shunned, hated by some people and talked down on by his boss and miss santos (the wife of the guy who got branded and killed in jail) all of which really don't call for a fake ass smile you can clearly see through. I've seen him smile around Lois multiple times (foreshadowing that she is his world) and after he saved that girl from the burning building (which fades after he see's people worshiping him like a god which he never wanted to be. if he did smile then people complaining about him wanting to be worshiped like a god would have rung true but since he doesn't, well there ya go.)
ethan prendergast "Never Smiles". What a joke. A really bad joke. He smiled in MOS to a waitress, when he flew for the first time, when he met up with his mother again, a little during his interrogation, when he was talking to Swanwick about moving forward, when he had a memory of running around as a child, and when he got hired at the Daily Planet. In BVS, he smiled as he got in the tub with Lois, when he introduced himself to Bruce Wayne, when he shook Lex's hand, when he saved that girl in Mexico, when he showed some amusement for Luthor's actions as seen in this clip here, and for Lois just before he flew off to his death. And YOU try being positive when half the world hates you despite doing what you feel is right...
+Deo Robinson Don't get me wrong I don't put it down to the guy's acting, I say it's the scripts fault, that they made the film so sad that he doesn't smile a lot. The fact u could put all the times he smiles in MOVIES in a single paragraph shows that he doesn't smile a lot. Superman isn't meant to be all doom and gloom ALL THE TIME they could of added scenes where he is doing random acts of kindness to show he is trying to prove to people he is on there side and he could of smiled then but no they put him in situations where the only face he can make is depressed, if he meant to represent a god like or jesus like figure he should probably smile more to be more likeable. Cause when he died I wasn't that bothered, when I should be like oh that guy was so kind and didn't deserve to die. I know his personality was kind and loving but u need to be able to express that on the outside as well.
+ethan prendergast Basically, you wanted him to smile as he was performing his heroics. That's not gonna fly, dude. He's not a celebrity posing for the cameras or a magazine. He treats what he is doing seriously. Saving lives isn't a glamour job. And the script isn't to blame. It's continuing his story from MOS. He was told as a child that he'll be a controversial figure in the world and that he'll have to make some tough choices in life; both of which happens in this film. His being a nice guy who saves the day and does the right thing is overshadowed by his status as an alien, a man with great power, and the fact that alot of people dislike him for the events of MOS. Did you really think people were just going to immediately and generally accept him because he saved the world? For this day and age, it doesn't work like that...
It's so sad to me that so many people don't understand Lex's motivation. Child abuse can really fuck a person up and, while he has clearly lost his mind, he needs a hug
Lex said that his father abused him so much, with his fists. So yes, Lex is afraid and hates anyone who is above everything else, because that reminds him the figure of his father.
Lex does reference his dad a lot (most of the time it's a background conversation while the main focus of the camera is on another character); with that said, I feel like they could've focused it on it more and talked about why he hated him so much.
Exactly, Lex's abuse at the hands of his father is made explicitly clear in this scene. "Daddy's fists and abominations". I don't understand why people missed that. However, I DO agree with some critiques that the movie could've delved into his complex relationship with his father a little more in-depth. But then again...people were already complaining that the movie was "too long", so I don't know if they could've fit this in there along with everything else. I hope we do get to see more of the Luthor backstory explored in future scenes with Lex in this universe. It's a HUGE part of the reason why the Lex of "Smallville" was so successful, because we truly understood the tragedy of his father's abuse and family dysfunction that warped him into who he is.
Matthew Rocca Besides this is just Lex getting started as Geoff said he will become the Lex we all know and love.
+Prince Marth: Exactly! It's an evolution of the characters. That's what makes MOS and BvS so special, seeing the characters evolve into their comic book counterparts gradually.
Honestly like his portrayal of Lex. It’s a modern take on a Titan of industry. Old Lex was a murdoch-esque Titan. This Lex is an antisocial Silicon Valley type.
It’s actually an adaptation of Lex from Birthright comics.
Titan?
Not gonna lie this version is literally just the riddler with money and power
Jim Carrey
Too much forced maniacal shit and empty platitudes for me imo
I don't care what people say but i loved this version of lex....and his acting...
Jesse is the guy indeed!
Initially, I didn't care for it. But that was because I was so set on a "traditional" portrayal of Lex Luthor. Watching this again recently, and I think Jesse did a fantastic job.
I believe one of the producers said he’s just starting off as Lex, he was supposed to obtain his more calm and calculated demeanor in later movies
One word: Birthright
the banter between lex and superman are perfect.
It gives me chills
BWSMITTY just like the grammar of your sentence its shit but your blind bias doesnt let you see it
@@MJ-fp6lx Or it just went way over your head
Eisenberg's acting is so cringey, I don't know why people liked it. He even said himself that he didn't think he was good for the role.
"OOOHHHH BOY DO WE HAVE PROBLEMS UP HERE!"
Def sits like a little kid with a timer lol

Now this is the Snyder tone Justice League needed. Hopefully if and when the Snyder Cut is ever releasing we will see it.
Edit: Snyder Cut was awesome! It has everything and more!
Well hello there, we did it
And it was glorious!
well, i don't know, sure the Snyder cut is awesome, but somehow the layers and complexity of BvS is gone, smth definitely changed in the approach
For those of you saying he’s too twitchy, have any of you ever been nervous? Like really nervous? Like the kind of nervous and anxiousness that arises when you’re threatening a god? His performance was spot on. But good work directors and writers in training. I’m eagerly awaiting your movies.
True to that!
Yes but he was doing that ALL across the movie. If he did it in only this one scene and when Batman was about to brand him it would have looked Epic.
Look, the performance was good (not great, but pretty good). The problem is that the way Lex was written is trash. I get the motivations, but they didn't translate that well to screen. If they did, there would be no argument or general confusion. My type of Lex is the one who's calm, cool, and a businessman who looks out for his fellow humans. On the inside, he's an alien-hating Machiavellian psychopath who's always 10 steps ahead.
@Adrian Ciurea I see you have never read the bright light comics
Lex is never nervous
1:39 gotta love the cue of the thunder when lex says "God vs. Man" *Chills*
2:14 My favorite line of Lex in this movie
That line is super edgy, i like it
This movie has flaws, but it’s aged extremely well.
I hadn't seen it since 2016, to be honest.
I just watched the Extended Cut recently, and while I still have a couple of issues with it, I cannot deny the brilliance behind it. Maybe it's because I didn't care much about it, but studying films in college led me back to this movie, and it has a LOT of amazing details both in plot, discussions, and visuals. Zack Snyder is one HELL of a filmmaker
How did this movie have flaws? Maybe the theatrical cut. But not the extended cut.
@@Aurantius_ I agree. But I am just saying the extended cut is better.
It was crap when it came out. Even Lex Luthor's conflict was tired old derivative. The money shot came in too late in the movie for anyone to even care, and it lasted for just a few minutes before Supes got himself killed -- the HISHE version was spoof but one wonders what prevented that from happening. I only ever saw the theatrical release though.
@@darthbiker2311 Then plz watch the extended version before fully judging.
"And now God bends to my will"
Most efective villain. And the end, Lex won!

We are coming to meeting you on grils my friend from work and I have to my friend from work in progress but and I think I can do this for my next movie and I think I will be in touch
Lex lost
@@ksilverfish8240 What the actual hell
@@odiadordeisrael He tried to prove that God (Superman in this case) was a fraud. He tried to proof that God can't be all powerful and all good at the same time. In the end Lex lost and won. He won, bc Superman died, proving that God (Superman in this case) can't be all good and all powerful at the same time.
I thought that his performance as Lex was horrible until he mentioned his father abuse, then you understand that "this" Lex Luthor is more like a fragile unstable kid who uses his inflence his money and his skills to bring down the strongest man on earth.He hates Superman because he can't stand to see such a powerfull man doing his best to save people when the ones who could have saved him from his father didn't do anything.
perfect description
Which leads to the question why the fuck did they want to go with that storyline
@@sexyrack1999 Because another Lex trying to beat Superman because of real estate is boring as fuck.
@@jsaiz187505 that's not the main comic storyline that people know of Lex, Lex hates Superman because he's a super human. Lex loves power and he's jealous of Superman. not because of fucking real estate
@@sexyrack1999 and that motivation story suck.
This movie is so unbelievably dark, like it feels terrible, they nailed it. Lex really was terrifying😵
Epic movie!!
2:19
In Lex Luther's mind:
" Make it rain make it rain make it rain ! "
"God vs Man"
"Day vs Night"
*Son* *of* *Krypton* vs *The* *Bat* *of* *Gotham*
I like that so much👏👏👏
I think Lex loves mythology and epic tales, so he invents his own narratives by making up stories about the people he manipulate.
Playing with them as if they were his puppets in a dollhouse.
I think thats why he made logos for thd other metahumans, as he simply cant help playing around with them as if they were actionhero toys.
Just like he think its fun having this metahumor of a gladiator mach between batman and superman.
Hes like a super DC fanboy turned into a villain that has read too many superman and batman comicbooks, and when hes finally in one he pretends he is the narrator of the comic

RIP 💐Kurt Stegall💐
What I like of this universe is the fact that when they introduce a comic book character, they make it different from the comics, so we (the comic book readers) could not expect what he is going to do, and they can develop the character in nexts films.
I believe that's the reason why they changed Lex's personality (and the he becomes the cold, evil businessman), why they made Batman a cold hopeless hero (and then he becomes the hero that Gotham deserves), and why Superman is so serious and sad (and the he becomes that symbol of hope).
NO.
That's one of the reasons why I love it as well. Everyone's going through a crucible that will turn them into their better-known, legendary selves.
Well thought out. Nobody has given Zack Snyder the chance to develop his universe, they dismissed it before it even began. I love this movie and I can't wait for Justice League to develop these characters into the heroes we grew up with.
Just like an Elseworlds story. Though this Lex is similar to the once canon Superman Birthright, even if Mark Waid doesn't admit it.
RCBM Mines Yeah. Birthright Lex was obsessively hell-bent on destroying not just Superman, but his very legacy; just like this one. But this Lex is also inspired by his early mad scientist depiction in the older comics, hence why he comes off as eccentric and "Joker-like".
This is one of the best moments in superhero movies, excellently crafted and performed

@@lolstuffenjoy9880 Yes, I do. 100%.
Just kidding, I wrote this comment a year ago, I don't even remember what the video was about lol
I get the motivations, I just don't feel that they're strong enough. Yes, Lex is supposed to HATE Superman, but the reason he does technically doesn't have anything to do with him. If they included scenes of Lex witnessing the Zod fight and destruction of Metropolis, then it would've made more sense.
@@kevinfreitas6832 he wasn't trying to protect earth you're openion is correct on batmans motivation
What's so interesting about this scene and something no one here has mentioned...this is Superman. You know the Man of Steel. You know, the person who can wipe anyone off with his finger if he wanted. Yet Lex is not intimidated at all. Only other person that's never feared Superman is Batman. Lex mocks Clark, makes fun of him, and shows him pictures of his mother tortured straight to Clark's face. This is a brilliant scene in general but this makes it more powerful. Just imagine if you were in the situation you'd be ready to kill that guy in an instant but since he's Superman, Lex knows he won't kill him. He's studied him inside out. Lex Luthor never feared Superman. And this shows it. And I really love that about this scene.
agreed🍻

+Megaproductions302 holy shit I didn't think about that. That's mind blowing.
While I wasn't overwhelmed by Eisenberg’s performance, he was a tad to manic imho, he has grown on me as time has gone on. I will say that the dialogue was excellent though.
Not to mention the beautiful visuals.
BRG 0001 I feel like he would make a better Riddler than a Lex Luthor
I loved Jessie eisenberg as Lex. Jessie Eisenberg is probably the smartest of all the casts, suits him well. Don't you dare question Zack's casting choices.
Miller is a dumbass who attacks couples in their own homes and chokes woman on video and affleck was a terrible Batman who doesn’t know shit about comics
you're joking right

1:20
Eisenberg to Cavill: YOU LET YOUR FAMILY DIE!
Ledger to Bale: YOU LET 5 PEOLE DIE!
Love how Zack made Superman say the "WERE IS SHE?!?" instead of Batman!
Not Zack, it was David S. Goyer. You know, the guy who actually wrote the movie.
+Arttu Lehmonen well the script was rewritten by Chris Terrio but I could see some of Goyer's work is still here.
Not even an Academy Award winning screenwriter like Chris Terrio could fix some of Goyer's writing.
Fun fact, Superman's lines in this film is less than Spider-man's in Civil War
@@yellowsunshine4157 And what
am i the only one who likes the "now raaaaaa!!"?
Pablo yaa man
Pablo no
Yeah.
0:21 through whenever he finished with Kal-El, i don’t know if anyone else noticed this but every time he said a new gods name, the lighting went from soft to louder.. “Horus” (very light boom), Apollo (slightly louder), Jehovah (normal boom) and then “Kal-El” (BOOM). What a nice touch.
Also. What else that I love is that when he say “Clark Joseph Kent” NO lighting goes off. And I literally ache with the thought that I’m witnessing master acting when Lex pretends to touch and comfort Clark 😫 why why why is this movie so good
Jesse Eisenberg is so damn good
I love this scene
'The mother of a flying demon must be a witch' - Lex
And the punishment for witches, what is that?
+Fabian Honor Death by fire
+Professor Zoom WHERE IS SHE!?
this scene is fucking beautiful!
I wasn't really sold on Jesse during the first half of the movie and even heard some giggles whenever he appeared but he was really effective during this scene. I was in a packed IMAX theater and for the whole duration of this scene, we were all dead quiet.
You know, I got allot more respect for this movie after a rewatching or two
As much as I dislike the overall portrayal of Lex in this movie, I will say this scene was very well done. The way he breaks down his hatred of Superman and how he not for one second seemed not in control of the situation, even when Superman was threatening to laser his head off. That is quintessential Lex.
”No man in the sky intervened me when i was a boy to deliver me from daddy’s fists and abominations” later on superman saves lex from a fist from doomsday.. ZACK SNYDER
”a mother of a flying demon must be a witch. And what’s the punishment for witches? That’s right. Death by fire!” In man of steel, Lara (mother of Kal-El) dies when krypton blow up and we saw a lot of fire when she died... ZACK SNYDER WITH DETAILS.
”Now the cameras are waiting at your ship for the world to see the holes in the holy!”. That means when superman get a hole in his chest while doomsday get a hole in his body with the spear ”holes in the holy”... ZACK DAMN SNYDER LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
dammmmmmnnnn detailss
Visionary director zack snyder is..
HOLY SHIT
I see what you did there.
Nahh zack wont correlate such things like this, what does this do to the plot??nothing, stop this kind of fanatics please
I love the fact that lex knows that superman is clark because for a man that is the smartest person in the dc universe. It was always dumb that he didnt know that Clark was superman
1:05 with that bass voice,dude can be a fantastic dark graphic novel storyteller.
When he said “Mother Of God Would You Look At The Time”……It really went over alot of people head🤣…Good One👏🏾
I don’t care what people say. This is my favorite movie.
You have good taste.
Only movie that gives me goosebumps every time I watch. (Well also MoS)
Surprising to see so many positive reviews on BvS. It’s underrated indeed👀
Hell yeah
Never let the Internet decide what you love
I liked it idk why people hated it so much
It's a shame most people don't get this, this is Lex's payback for God not saving him for all those with power who don't "deserve" it
I also think he just can't stand someone being that powerful (more powerful than him)
Ooooohhhh interesting that's something I missed about the movie explain.
+Ramon Ang Lex Luthor is a madman
I feel like he hates his father, who people thought was a good man. he feels the same about superman
I think he just hates his father and anyone that reminds him of his father.
0:16 the cinematography is so good
The lightning sure likes to be timed well
Shit this movie has at least a dozen of the worlds best superhero scenes
it's true I don't get why ppl hate on this movie screw them wth kinda movie they want? 😕
+Marvelman Disney superheroes
The Batman warehouse fight, and Wonder Woman's arrival to fight Doomsday are absolute chill inducing, standing ovation worthy moments and Marvel films have never done for me, what those two scenes do for me.
TOTALLY agreed!
+Matt Mason YES
The Hero Meets his True Enemy
Yes......Justin Bieber
+Snob Fanfiction Reader Are you making a joke.
Arron Zuvich Can I hug you?
Arron Zuvich And no, just me being very, very, very, very, very stupid
+Snob Fanfiction Reader Nay, it's cool I don't like him either. Heat-vision then freeze breath then chuck up off the building
Best movie in history
Jesse eisenberg played lex really well
What I learned from this movie is that lex would make a great high school English teacher. He speaks about existentialism like no other.
right
It’s at the moment we really accept that although Superman is all powerful he’s really human. Yes we know we is an alien because he wasn’t earth born but human because he was earth raised. He could’ve broken Lex in a ,Illinois pieces and searched all of Metropolis and Gotham for Martha in minutes but he didn’t let his anger get the better of him. He wanted to save the woman he is his mother. Most ppl would of went off and killed ppl but this is why Superman is the GOAT. He humbled himself and went to seek help from Bruce not kill him even when his mother is in danger. Like yo BvS and JL are great films.
Lex is most definitely more than a dozen steps ahead, he fooled everyone with his energetic persona...
...even the audience (at the time).
And that's the aspect I like most about this take on the character in the big screen, he's aware that Superman has super hearing. That's why he always has this persona, then drops it in front of Batman once Superman's dead
What are you talking about?
@@vistalover9607 He's basically saying Lex Luthor pulled a Clark Kent switcheroo on Superman. In milder terms, if Lex Luthor dropped his "goofy" aspects from this film, we'd have another Superman Animated Series situation where Superman always thinks Lex is up to no good. By having this "goofy" persona, Superman doesn't think too much of Luthor being a threat.
Everything about this movie was major epic and am sure everyone had high hopes for JL......will see i guess with the Zack Cut
One of my favorite moments of the film when Clark losses his shit and his eyes glow red it's phenomenal
The best Lex moment, holy, that bastard. Megalomaniac manipulator.
I love how gleeful he was when Supes got down on his knees. Absolute psychopath.
George Daugherty And he was funny, at the end "Oh, mother of God, would you look at the time", or later in ship, Lex reaction when Batmans answers him back.
Lex: I don't know how to lose.
Superman: You'll learn.
Me: Excellent.
3DSDF You know... that's one trait that BOTH Supes and Lex have in common. They don't know how to lose. They're pure determinators of their own fate for better or worse.
Superman took that spear because HE HAD to do it and nobobdy else. It was his burden and nobody else's. Even as he faces death, he doesn't think he's going to lose. He's going to win.
Lex, no matter how many defeats he faces at the hands of Supes, he'll always come back for more.
George Daugherty
And to Lex's mind, he's won. Even his "God is either all-good or all-powerful" was proven right when Batman had Superman at his mercy.
litterally one of Jesse Eseinberg's best performance super underrated villain. The confidence, the smart wit with a sparkle of insanity. Now that's awesome...
This is actually a great villain, too bad he is named Lex Luthor and everyone expects him to be the same as his comic book counterpart
This is a Lex Luthor who has lost his sanity.
Could have been the Riddler or the Mad Hatter but wth he would have to do with Supes lol.
is it bad i know his dialogue by heart?
No
I know Batman's speech by heart, so no.
That's the DC effect
No thats a good thing
Not when its this kind of dialogue.
LAIK ZOMG SUPERMAN IS BASICALLY GAWD? SO IF SUPERMAN IS WEAKENED BY KRYPTONITE, THEREFORE GAWD CANNOT BE ALL POWERFUL, AND THEREFORE ILLUMINATI CONFIRMED
2:10 that killing joke reference
Idk, I'm pretty sure he was referring to Brady Bunch, when the little girl says "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!" in a fit of jealousy.
I think his talking about the pictures let has
@@gamepoy5056 Yeah, it's a reference to the Brady Bunch
"Every boy's special lady is his mother " 💓💓🔥🔥
OMFG LOOK AT THAT CINEMATOGRAPHY
God, I loved this movie so damn much. It really brought out the darker aspect of any superhero movie
I actually really like Eisenberg here
Haters: Lex has no motivation in BvS.
BvS:
I love lex's line : every boy's special lady is his mother
Lex has balls of steel in this movie. Don't fuck with Superman's mom...or any guy's mother.
I know seriously superman is not one to fuck with
but supermans a man of steel
This scene never fails to give me goosebumps, a nearly perfect reinterpretation of Lex Luther. Just had to lose the hair and we're there.
I wouldn't go that far. He has the same mindset as Lex but he acts more like Riddler.
This version of lex was awful. They basically turned him into mark Zuckerberg
These are all alternate versions of said characters
Quite an underapreciated scene
Damn... Superman's smile and confidence smile as soon as he hears his mother
@Michael Elam I mean he didn't see it coming, right? I swear the movie like a deconstruction of superheroes like what Zack said
"WHERE IS SHE?
I DON'T KNOW"
He's at 3546 N. Elston, and She's at 5729 E. Oak....
P sherman 42 wallaby way Sydney

Its funny you say that, coulda sworn Christian Bale jumped outta Henry there for a split second
man, i love jesse eissenberg performance in bvs
I'm glad I've got ultimate version.
This is my top 3 superhero movie of all time.
We needed more of this Lex, he was the only part of this movie that was watchable
Can't ignore Affleck or a little bit of Cavil but anything is so stupid.
Lex is such a genus...
and when he said if god is all good he cannot be all powerful do you think he is lying now I think he is
He's supposed to be the most intelligent guy in the DC universe
I tought Riddler is the most inteligent guy in Dc universe
Andrei Radu Not even close mate look it up
Mr Jones ok
"Yes, the almighty comes clean about how dirty he is when it counts."
Lex essentially wanted Superman to show the world fully how Superman is not "all good" by having him kill Batman in the same vein how the Christian/Hebrew God flooded the Earth, destroyed cities and caused the 10 plagues of Egypt to save his people.
"God is tribal, God takes sides."
Killing Batman to save Martha is Superman "taking a side."
Clock Young Lex is already terrifying and a true mastermind.
Clock please, read the hole Bible, before you make such declined sugestions, based on your lack of biblical knowledge. Please...
Just Me Amen
Or, you know, you could enlighten him with your holy knowledge. But, me guesses, you're a lazy fuck who likes to pretend to be educated. Please...
Michael I agree with you because I thought the same thing. However, Clock's explanation is also feasible. Though I believe his explanation is not the actual reasoning for Lex's motivation to do what he did in this scene.
Can't love enough this movie dialogues and how beautifully Jessi deliveres them
"And now God bends to MY will!"
I was not a fan of Eisenberg's interpretation. His plan was kind of nonsensical to me but this line and the way he forced Superman to kneel, something not even Zod could manage to do, THAT was classic Lex Luthor.
He was comic accurate
