Man of Tomorrow: A Man of Steel and Batman V Superman FanEdit

Another great edit from Job Willins,

My few downsides are : - Somes rough music cuts from 100 to 0 a bit too often for my taste. Can leave the impression that something is missing, like a weird jump cut, it's rare but there.
- Music choice during the Metropolis battle don't really convey the right emotion I find, too heroic and epic, especially during Wayne's scenes. I'm guessing it would have been too hard from an editing standpoint to be able to align everything. Nothing major though, Zimmer fatigue in general I guess.
- Batmobile cuts are a bit much. Too little screentime to be a real scene, and yet too much to be ignored. Rare moment in the whole edit where that made me tick.

Other than that, and considering the material you had to work with (two pretty mediocre movies), the result is really solid. Great pacing, flashbacks add a real value, and structurally it works great.

It's not "Paradise" level but still. A fine edit.
Thanks again for all the hard work trying to save all those average movies (and succeeding).

This fanedit chronicles the TRAJEDY of superman's rise and fall, woven into a single film that combined the best of both movies. I personally loved the sci-fi tone of the original Man of Steel and this film feels like an extended cut of that movie. The source material is from two separate films, so it's impossible to merry them perfectly, but I know who wonder woman and batman are so I didn't need their backstory to understand why they would fight against doomsday together. Some of my favorite edits made by JobWillins started as early as the intro credit scenes... how amazing to splice in all of krypton's backstory as a silent backdrop to the credits! They had to cut many minutes of film for a combo to work, and this choice was epic and helped set the tone for the rest of the film.

What I would do differently (if i had JobWillins' skills):
I would probably delete ALL of lex luther's scenes. Jesse Eisnenberg is great, but they didn't give him a lex luther role to be fair. The jolly rancher scene is cringey and epitomizes why this luther was a poorly written "prodigy man-child billionaire" trope. Not my luther! Easy enough to have batman still collect kryptonite because he is known to create contingency plans against JL superheroes, but it might complicate how doomsday is created... it could be done. Wouldn't miss him lol.

Another thing to consider is concluding this tragedy with superman's rebirth. I feel like including this part of the tale would make it more complete, but would significantly change the climax tone.. Could cut out most of the drama of superman discovering who he is... briefly battling the others until coming to his senses... that would be a nice 15-30min completion to this tale, imo. But I respect JobWillins decision to keep this story a TRAJEDY... it was powerfully told :)

This, sir, in my humble opinion, is the single most rousing dceu (fan) film for me. Job Willins, my man, thank you for that ending. Thank you for the cohesion. Thank you for showing what Superman should had been. Arigatou Gozaimasu

Just finished this, really loved it.
Sounded great, looked great. felt great :]

Some of the story was a little loose, but that's a problem with the source material not the edit,

Highly Recommended!

I loved the edit.

I was not looking for something more Marvel- or Christopher Reeves-style, and if you are, you will not get it here.

What you will get is a masterful integration of MoS and BVS into a coherent and exciting narrative that thunders along and becomes something more than the sum of its parts.

What you will get are smart cuts, sharp focus, and real stakes. I am a Snyder fan but was happy to see a much shorter Krypton sequence, the removal of material that was neither needed (e.g. Superman having the Kryptonian codex) nor useful (e.g. Batman's bizarre reasoning that "if we believe there's a ONE percent chance that he is our enemy we have to take it as an absolute certainty") nor convincing (e.g. Pa Kent's decisions).

Wonder Woman plays a more low-key role for much of the movie, but it works. There is some toning down of Batman's violence and of the collateral damage in Superman's fights which I do not think was strictly necessary -- e.g. Superman did, in fact, kill Zod in the comics, not every movie 100% follows the comics anyway, as Marvel movies' reinvention of Thanos as a well-intentioned environmentalist shows -- but it still works.

It works well. Very, very well. Seriously. This is a brilliant edit.
