I have zero problem with deviating from the source material. I'm one of the like 3 people on the internet that seems to have no problem with making the Mandarin a joke in Iron Man 3. I'm saying from an objective perspective, I'm still not sure how Man of Steel comes close to topping the first Iron Man. Whether it be writing, directing, acting or even just plain fun, Iron Man blows it out of the water.

I'm just stating the truth. I've seen the trailers or teasers (whatever you want to call them) for both WW and JL and they did nothing for me. I'm holding out hope for WW as she was easily the best thing about BvS, but JL looks terrible from the small sample that we have. Also, why sugarcoat it, but WB/DC has released 3 mediocre to crappy movies in a row. What makes anybody think these next two flicks will break that trend?

I never said MoS came close to tapping, or rivalling even, the first Iron Man movie. Snyder is a crap director who makes visually stunning movies that storywise kinda ramble and run for so bloody long he has to cut out roughly 30 minutes of scenes that are needed to make the film work.
And IMO the Mandarin was a good (but not great) villain in Iron Man 3, it's just the he was played by Guy Pearce instead of Sir Ben Kingsley (whose Trevor Slattery character was easily the best part of that movie). He even says so at one point.
Exactly.
Any permutation how you'd want to fill in the variables of tone, mood and theme in a work of fiction can work if done well. Some may come across as weird or unusual, and some have grown into genres.
The key words there are "if done well". That's where DC tends to flounder.
Well avengers May be deemed craps it did progress marvel. Man of steel is a great superman movie, yes with a couple flaws, but I think it gets chewed out far to easily because dupes shaped a neck
One can expect some fundamental elements to be carried over an adaptation, nonetheless.
Reed's Genius, Jean's telepathy or Bruce Wayne being a first-class detective as the Batman.
It's not that.
The issue with her investigation is that there's no pay-off to it in this movie (I don't consider her telling to Luthor's face "I know what you did" a satisfaying one). It's not even relevant to Luthor being arrested at the end (or at least, acknowledged by a statement of sort from one of the characters iirc).
That's as pointless a subplot as it can get.
Remove it, and you allow the movie room to breathe.
"The means are as important as the end - we have to do this right or not at all.
Anything less negates every belief we've ever had, every sacrifice we've ever made."
