Martha Stewart Reportedly Attends Godspeed You! Black Emperor Show, Disses Colin Stetson : indieheads

[BvS] In context, the Martha Scene is really good.
Main Post:
So mild spoilers
I haven't watched this movie in a little while so I'm not saying anything word for word. The infamous scene of Superman saying "I gotta save Martha" or "They have/are gonna kill Martha" and Batman helping him because that was his moms name too out of context is pretty bad, but stick with me.
If I remember correctly the first Batman scene was him as young Bruce in the scene where Thomas and Martha die. Bruce was so devastated that he started his campaign to become Batman. Bruce sacrificed a regular life to make sure no one had to endure what he did. In the movie there's also shots of him at Martha's tomb as well. (Or a shot of her tomb, like I said it's been a while.) Batman sees Superman as a threat and determines he has to take him out but the Martha scene humanizes him. To Bruce this is a God that can end thousands of lives if he wanted and in that moment he was sure his mother would die and just like that young Bruce he was devastated and clearly in pain. That's why I think the scene is actually pretty good. It plays on Bruce's human emotions he has towards his parents and shows him that for all his power Superman felt just as helpless to save his mother.
TLDR: Superman being helpless to save Martha like young Bruce was for his Martha humanizes Superman and shows Batman that they aren't so different.
PS Synder is still a garbage director, I just think this scene gets more hate than it deserves.

This isn't really so much a fantheory as it is just the explicit intent of the scene.
It's not a particularly complicated storybeat, people "get" why this scene was supposed to work. The problem they have with the scene is that the concept was poorly executed, not that the concept itself is bad. But people tend to just distill their distaste for the scene into a short offhand taunt of "lol Martha". It's not that they really think that moms having the same name is the only thing that's going on in that scene. The taunt is highlighting that the scene does a poor job of demonstrating the thing that it's attempting to demonstrate.

This will either be brilliant or awful. It will probably rely a lot on the guests.

Attempted analysis for new players 2: Saint Martha (Rider), our favourite lewd saint and dragon tamer
Main Post:
Amidst weeks full of reruns, I figure I want to do a few analyses for our new players to make use of our breaks from exhausting farming of events and cruel bait gachas Again, more servant info can be found in Rath's MMM and Lemon's Sweet Talk Sunday, and now also with CrimsonBeherit's bronze and silver useful servants thread. I would like to talk more about SR servants and below since SSRs have been getting quite a lot of spotlights already, plus most new players start off with at least 1 SR.
For my sentiments on Martha, she was my first SR from first 10 roll, but ever since I rolled Brokander, she had been less used. Despite that, she still had her utility whenever I needed her and I was pretty saltied when I failed to roll her Ruler form.
Team synergy: She is not a heavy damage dealer due to having a very low base attack for a SR, being in rider class means that you have to have a star generator in order to make use of her crit weight, that plus her 3 art deck allows her to charge her NP relatively easy despite having only single hit Art. An Art star generator is preferable, passive star gen from Halloween Liz's IM is also welcomed. Generally, use her for her skills unless you have a higher NP level. She can fit into a zombie team with other tankish healers as well.
Skill priority: Her last 2 skills Miracle and Vow of Saint are most used for a utility supporting servant as many bosses pack annoying debuffs that may cripple your DPS. With that said, dont neglect her first skill if you want her to stay alive long enough to heal, she has high HP pool to back it up for a tanky support-ish rider.
Grail potential: Personally, i wont recommend grailing her for gameplay reason as she has a better ruler counterpart more worthy of grail, but if you are a fan of Martha, go ahead.
Suggested CEs: Her Bond CE is pretty good for a healer, Gentle Affection (Reika CE) can be substitute before bond CE is acquired.

My first servant, I didn't like her at first but she grew on me tremendously to the point where she was my first bond 10 servants, and I have grailed her to 90. I'm impatiently waiting for a rerun of the summer event gacha so I can throw money into getting her Ruler form.
Martha is a MIRACLE of the universe and an absolute Saint.
She's also an absolutely adorable character.
Ruler Martha Dialogue Translation
Main Post:
As requested by u/Higgins113.
Topic Dialogue Battle Start 1 Jacob-sama, Moses-sama... forgive me... I, Martha, must unleash my fists. Battle Start 2 If you wanna throw down then I'm going all out. Don't underestimate me! Skill 1 I guess the only way you'll understand is if I do this. Skill 2 I'm fired up! Command Card 1 You want me to go in heavily? Command Card 2 You want me to go in sharply? Command Card 3 You want me to go in violently? Noble Phantasm Card O Lord... please avert your eyes for but a moment. Attack 1 Sei! Attack 2 Hah! Attack 3 Hallelujah! Extra Attack Repent your damn sins! Noble Phantasm O tragic drake who knew naught of love, come hither. Like a star! Tarasque! ...Sei! There's nowhere to run! Iron-fisted Holy Judgement! Damage 1 Ugh! Damage 2 I felt... that one! Defeated 1 I've gotten sloppy... how pathetic... Defeated 2 I'm sorry... take care of the rest... Victory 1 Hmph... better luck next time, brat. Victory 2 Aah, now I've done it... how could I do such a thing... Level Up I'm fired up! ...No, it was nothing. Ascension 1 I tried putting on a jacket. The weather is not particularly cold, but... huh? The back? Oh! Isn't this Tarasque embroidery great? Do you like it? Ascension 2 Blessings upon both you and the world. Ascension 3 I am supposed to be a holy woman... ugh! Where did these knuckles come from!? ...They won't come off! Are these supposed to be some kind of blessing!? Oh, come on! Ascension 4 The Saint of the Waterfront, you say? How embarrassing... even after all the disgraceful behaviour I have displayed... you would still think that of me. Thank you for not growing disillusioned with me. I truly am a blessed Servant to have you by my side this whole time. Bond Level 1 This must be some sort of mistake. I am certain that being summoned as an Extra Class is the cause of my wild behaviour. E-Especially in the midst of battle, that is... you didn't see anything, got it? Bond Level 2 I will never condone violence under any circumstances. No matter how wildly I might behave, the truth is... aah, to think that I would ever be involved in a fistfight...! Bond Level 3 (After Ascension 3) ...Is this another of the Lord's trials? What kind of trial is this supposed to be!? My patience is wearing thinner than usual! Bond Level 4 (After Ascension 3) Haah... I'm glad you're my Master. Seriously. I probably wouldn't be able to show anyone else how I am in this mode. Bond Level 5 (After Ascension 3) Now that it's come to this, it's time for me to get a little serious! This is reminding me a little of the past, but I am who I am. Just say the word and I'll go all out! With that said, I'm! Counting! On! You! Conversation 1 Stop dragging your feet! Move with a purpose! Conversation 2 I appear to have been summoned in a strange manner... I am seeing you as some sort of underling. Conversation 3 I am certain that we will save the world. Come on, where's your answer!? Conversation 4 (After Ascension 3) Haah... I can't let my sister see me like this... Conversation 5 (After Ascension 3) Men keep trying to approach me just because I have shown a bit of skin... what a load of shit. Conversation 6 (With Sasaki Kojiro, After Ascension 3) "I would like to have a sparring match with Martha-dono, if she is willing"... don't give me that! What's with that gozaru samurai!? The Holy Knuckles aren't a tool of the martial arts! What are they, then? They're, well, the penchant of a village girl, you know... Conversation 7 (With other Swimsuit Servants, After Ascension 3) Hmm... that swimsuit's pretty nice. Likes Aah... I had intended to admonish myself. O Lord, do you wish for me to fight? Dislikes There should not be anything that I loathe or despise. O Lord, please forgive me. As a Servant, I am much too sinful. About The Holy Grail I said I don't care about a counterfeit Holy Grail! Listen. There's only one true Holy Grail. Events There's a festival going on, right? I've loved festivals ever since I was in Bethany. Birthday It's your birthday, right? To celebrate, how about going sailing on Tarasque... or would you rather ride him through the sky? Summon ...Martha. I have come once again. Regardless of the form that I take, I am who I am. I will save the world alongside you, without hesitation.The way she shifts her style of speech on a dime made this a little difficult to write out.
