Mother’s Day is coming up, and whether you celebrate it on May 10like us in Mexico, or maybe another day, we know that there is little more than a week to go, and with this important date in mind, hbo max has launched special advertising, so that this Mother’s day, do not lack good content on your screen; that’s why it suggests, see batman v superman that family day.
This suggestion might sound out of place, but it’s not, because if you run out of ideas (or excuses to rewatch the movie) or a suggestion on how to celebrate mom on her big day, hbo max has a rather original one, as the streaming platform is promoting a viewing of Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justicefor him Mother’s dayand especially for “all the marthas”.
You see, this started on twitter, where a fan of DC shared a screenshot they took of the app hbo max on his phone displaying the promo reminding fans that “moms are our real life superheroes”and promotes the film Zack Snyder What “this is for all the Marthas”.
Being honest, we know that this has more of a touch of comedy than mere sentimentality, but the dedication to “all the Marthas out there”is a game where in between taunts, it pokes a little fun at one of the more hackneyed moments in the movie, which is actually quite clever and a reminder that while the scene of “Martha” of Batman vs Superman is a bit strange, it also talks about the connection between Batman Y Superman in the film.
Since, on a larger scale, between people in general and from day to day, they have a connection with their mothers or mother figures, it is a universal experience, that is why even the Snyderspoke earlier about how the connection “Martha” in the film humanizes Supermanwhich in turn changes the perspective of Batman about him.
“It’s funny, because we, [el guionista] Chris Terrio and I, we got to that point in the movie, in our conversations… we knew how to make them fight, right? But how do you get them to stop fighting?” said Snyder in 2019. “That’s a tough question. And we were just pitching about his humanity and Batman realizes that Superman has humanity, he’s not just a creature, he’s a man, he’s an alien, but he’s as human as, in a lot of ways, he is. more human than him, right? He’s embraced all the good parts of the human race, so Batman is able to see, in many ways, something that he’s not. And I think that’s how we started talking about it.” .
Besides, Snyder has also talked about how the moment of Martha becomes a central character in the film, going so far during an interview, to discuss how the moment holds the entire film together: “Clearly, I’m a fan and I’m very interested in how ‘Martha,’ that concept is fundamental to the movie. I mean, it’s 100% the axis that holds the whole movie together. I think it’s indicative of the way that Batman is received Superman that his central tenant was slighted and made fun of,” he began. “I personally think it’s like this beautiful, incredibly symmetrical idea that completely wraps it up as a concept. It’s all 100% intended to be all the images you see, as far as their inspiration and things like that.”
Remember that Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justiceis available at hbo maxand that you can watch it as many times as you like, whether or not it’s Mother’s Day.
