One of the main reasons why the USA is so powerful is WWII after the war most of the industrial powers in Europe were broken , taking decades to recover . This meant that you could power ahead as you were spared bombing raids and invasion . It also helped that Britain was forced to repay their entire war debt to you , which in turn forced them to release all their colonies and acted as a brake on growth in the UK . The UK debt of $ 57 , 000 , 000 , 000 to the USA was finally paid off in 2006 . <| sep |> Gentlemen no fighting on thanksgiving ! <| sep |> weirdHah . We all know NORWAY are the true delightful freaks of the EU . 5 eveNk 3 o 1 ME <| sep |> Your response is comprehensive so bear with mine . I ' ll try to answer each with relevant facts within the film . You would assume that the next scene would be Clark in Kansas . But the next scene involves Lois Lane , then the next involves Lex Luthor , then the next involves Batman , and THEN we cut to SupermanWhy do you assume that the next scene would be Clark in Kansas ? Perry is asking where Clark is . And makes an insulting remark basically implying Clark is a rural boy who doesn ' t fit in . That ' s why he keeps calling him Smallville . It has nothing to do with Clark actually being in Kansas . Basically the scene with Perry is to exemplify his relationship with Clark and how his Superman antics make get him in trouble at work . It ' s a comic relief kind of scene . It ' s very common in films for minor scenes to be placed in between major scenes and for these minor scenes to have no connection with the scene before it or the ones after . And there ' s no real momentum building at this point . The movie hops around randomly to these different characters , leaving the audience little time to actually care or become invested in what ' s going onher good example of this is the Knightmare sequence the scene is never mentioned again after it happens , and its events don ' t effect the rest of the movie whatsoever . It doesn ' t belong in the movie . This is one flaw of the film that I actually found to be at least notable and at most significant . I ' m speaking of course about the TC . However it ' s not to the extent realistically of the film hopping around randomly . There were a few scenes that were felt misplaced AFTER viewing the UE . But the Knightmare sequence is definitely my biggest issue . It ' s not that it makes no sense . It ' s too bizarre . There is context to it . But when you look at scenes in films like 2001 A Space Odyssey you ' ll discover there are many films that employ bizarre and controversial stuff . The Knightmare scene is a bizarre scene with paranoia relevance to BvS . It also has relevance as far as Bruce ' s first experience of Meta humans . So it ' s not correct to say it has no relevance within the context of BvS . It clearly does . But it ' s major role seems to have been for future films . Which is not uncommon in related films . The only problem is it was too cryptic and bizarre . So overall , I agree on this point partly but on the other said there is a lot of exaggeration as well because the bulk of the film TC plays out very logically and similarly to the UE and not in random fashion . Editing in the TC had flaws . But not showstopping flaws .
