Psychohistorical review of "Justice League"

[Patrick McEvoy-Halston]

Sitting with individuals and given them their due attention, while they contrive ways to leave full presumption to the woman in charge, in "Justice League"

(Never sent in 2017, but a commentary that I thought might be of interest.)

Patrick,

Perhaps my perspective on "Justice League" is because I primarily wanted to keep my 33 year old, comic book son, the school teacher, company.  Sort of nerdy male-bonding.  I started off mildly interested in the movie and got increasingly disinterested as it devolved.

I also have an "impediment" in viewing these comic book type movies having been an Army Officer and trained as a Boy Scout Leader.  As such, you have both experience and theory to use in analyzing group and individual behavior.

The primary flaw in such movies, which was painful in "Batman vs. Superman", is "haven't these "Superheroes" learned anything from experience?"  

In "Batman vs. Superman" you had two "Superheroes" who were gullible enough to fall for the lies of Lex Luthor.  Despite the fact that the characters of B and S initially lived in their own universe, each of them developed a personal Public Good.  You would also expect that as part of their "Superhero" functioning, they would develop some experience as to figuring out who the real bad guys were, without having to have a label on those people saying "Bad Guys."  Yet they assume that the events perpetrated by Lex Luthor are actually done by their Superhero counterpart.   It's like believing that Hillary was running a child prostitution and money laundering ring under a pizza parlor when the actual pervert and tax fraud was Donald.  Who would be foolish enough to believe those lies?  

I digress.

The only salvation for their relationship was that coincidentally, both B and S had mothers named "Martha."  

Perhaps both of them having alcoholic fathers might someday be a bond for Hillary and Donald.  Hillary in her codependency and Donald in his dependency.  Or maybe THAT could explain the 2016 election results.

I digress.

The "message" of the movie is that special powers are worthless if they aren't used to benefit others.  Apparently, there was no realization that experience is worthless if it isn't shared with others.  

You learn as an Army Officer that your function is NOT just to give orders but to share and pass down your experience and competence to prepare the people in your unit to survive.  Being in charge of dead soldiers is not a very productive measure of leadership.
