And this is why Zack Snyder's version will be garbage: he does not write women. He very, very aggressively writes Male Stories: any Snyder-esque take on Arthur is doomed to failure before it starts, because I can already see him picturing Morgan le Fay in a sexy backless dress.

both those films are hot garbage; there is also a difference between 'including women' and 'writing a feminist story'

not here to debate about movie subjectivity. However, you are wrong to claim that zack write very aggressively male story. Thats what im pointing out

all his women are background characters who only exist to prop up the men and make their arcs angsty. that’s not how you write good women.

Last I check, sucker punch female character does not have any male character to prop up and lois lane play the active role where she is the one discover about superman and the reason why superman come out of hiding and reveal himself.

and lois also play important role to uncover the conspiracy and setup by lex and managed to uncover the evidence that lead to lex arrest by the end of movie. Heck in dawn of dead, the female protagonist is one of the survivor who make it by the end of movie

Dude, Man of Steel doesn't even pass the Bechdel Test. It's one of the worst examples you could have picked of a feminist film or good female character writing.https://doesthispassthebechdeltest.tumblr.com/post/53144015378/man-of-steel-2013-dir-zack-snyder-1-yes …

Especially given the flack it got for having a female soldier in the ending giggling at how hot Superman is.

You... you do realise the Bechdel test was first coined to talk about what queer women could expect from a film, and that passing it doesn’t automatically bestow Universal Feminism on a movie?
