Problem with Zack Snyder's "Deconstruct Heroes"

[MichaelC]

The best superhero deconstructions tend to happen in long-running series, either comicbook or TV. A movie doesn't really have the time needed to do a proper deconstruction/reconstruction. So attempts tend to just, in practice, be the heroes acting like assholes.

You don't set the bar very high, do you?

Yeah someone sounding better than Nolan's/ Bale's Batman isn't very hard I agree.

I'm not sure you can deconstruct superheroes in the 21st century without concluding that they're an anachronism.

Their continued popularity is fueled by a culture of perpetual nostalgia, a need for respite from the seemingly unmanageable chaos of the modern world, and a global appeal (which ironically hints at grand narrative).

Any enjoyable deconstruction at this point would be specific to the property involved and lack much meaning outside of a self-conscious ridicule of the minutiae of the property.
