I love how goofy Ozy is in HBO Watchmen. And Manhattan is definitely a dude that would go around in blackface for a while. It's also amusing how the sources for Comedian (Peacemaker) and Owl (Blue Beetle) have a bit of mainstream recognition now.

Lots of Mills and Xers get the relationship now but he has yet to be in a popular TV show or major movie. It's funny that Watchmen came out before anything it referenced did. It really was ahead of its time.

It's a shame John Cena didn't get cast as Shazam. Like, Cena vs Rock as Shazam vs Black Adam would just loving rule.

A good prescient bit of casting in Watchmen is that The Comedian is a wisecracking soldier who kills his enemies with advanced weaponry, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan who plays him looks like Robert Downey Jr

While of course it's right to be loathe to hand anything to Joss Whedon, he may have had a point when he said Watchmen came out a bit too early. That said, imagine trying to get a Watchmen movie made under modern WB... Also I had it pointed out that The Comedian sounds like a Joker riff, and then that instead of a clown, he's styled like Groucho Marx, an actual iconic comedian. well why not posted:smartest man on earth [just goes to a haters apartment to gently caress them up] To be fair that's a smart thing to do in that it has to be immensely satisfying. Kinda funny that Ozy tries to be all fight analysis when he just kinda made the rookie mistake of getting up close to a guy who's bigger and stronger than he is. Bruce Lee himself would tell you that in a real fight, skill can't make up for being out of your weight class. Ghost Leviathan fucked around with this message at 04:46 on Dec 21, 2023 |

It’s one of the funniest parts of the book, Ozymandias showing up to rough trade Comedian (on the docks) and just getting dunked on so hard he’s bitter for a decade and still kinda salty about it even after murdering Blake. Thank you for sharing this part.

I really wish I was interested in seeing Blue Beetle, but I just don't have the energy for any more of the DCEU death throes movies. They are all hollow without Snyder.

Re-watched BvS today (regular cut, not ultimate edition) and I have to say, the scene of Clark sitting down watching the TV as people all around the world debate his existence hits a little bit harder in the world of covid. I have cystic fibrosis and had a double lung transplant about 8 years ago, so watching the worlds media debate about whether or not I can leave the house/sacrifice myself for the good of the economy etc was a really loving strange experience.

Between making kid Clark’s burgeoning superpowers be presented like what it feels to be an autistic kid being thrust into a far too intense environment to things like that “Clark watches people talk about him like he’s a theoretical thing and not a flesh and blood person”, Snyder really wanted to underline the humanity of people who diverge from the norm through Clark. It connects with some people, doesn’t with other, which is also probably why the “why did you say that name?!” bit either hits you like a brick wall or makes you burst out laughing. (But gently caress those people who burst out laughing, they’d probably laugh at some of the melodramatic moments in Godzilla Minus One, too). It’s sort of like he shows a real care and love for the characters in Watchmen, like where Jeffrey Dean Morgan plays the existential terror of having found Veidt’s plan, or how he doesn’t present Dan’s impotence mockingly, or how Billy Crudup adds so much resignation to “I am tired of this world, and it’s people. I am tired of being caught up in their lives.” And you can even pull that back to Dawn of The Dead, he and Gunn have zero reasons to make the mall cops into people who grow into being, to paraphrase how The Apartment puts it, “mensches - genuine human beings”. But they do. And that’s kind of at the center of both guys’ better works - there’s something very sweet about the Elizabeth Banks and Michael Rooker scene at the climax of Slither, or “he may be your father, but he sure as poo poo ain’t your daddy” in GOTG2, although the best of all these moments will probably remain Perry grabbing Jenny’s hand as a wave of pure destruction bears down on them, and that human connection powering this lone hope on the other side of the world to push beyond the limits he knows to save them all. Maybe that’s why Gunn took on the questionable job of heading up the DC connected stuff from his old collaborator; he and Zack are just having a low-key competition to try to insert some real loving emotional heft into these increasingly plasticine exercises we call the superhero movie.

Not having seen it, I don't have anything inherently against a scene where Batman throws his suit in the laundry or whatever. (I remember a scene in The Long Halloween where Alfred's complaining that Bruce will have to wear a damp Batsuit because he won't stop working long enough for Alfred to finish his laundry. It doesn't deflate the whole issue or anything.) It's good not to take yourself seriously when you're making a movie about Aquaman. But you also have to play it straight. Constantly nodding and winking at the audience and poking fun at your own material is the default approach to, for example, low-budget horror-comedies that aren't horror or comedy and just suck rear end. It's weird to me how the fandom about making MCU characters "human" and "relatable" ends up wrapping back around to a point where it feels like they have contempt for the subject matter.

I made it to 10 years post this summer. I know exactly what you are talking about. Funny how they made sure that the voices of the chronically ill and immunosuppressed people had no place in the policy discussions. I lost a bunch of friends who went psycho over being asked to wear a mask or get vaccinated. But probably psychically worse was north american society deciding i was expendable. Big hugs to you

There's two sequences but the first one is more intense, a young woman in the village is dragged into a building by soldiers who discuss who will assault her first. Kora hears her shouting and comes over to shoot them all in an extended slow-mo fight. There's nothing really shown but they're very unpleasant characters and the dialogue is not ambiguous. In the other one a gross alien guy grabs Michel Huisman's character's crotch in the cantina scene and makes a series of remarks about wanting to have sex with him. Also ends in a shootout.

I've said this before but we never really got past the "you expected yellow spandex?" joke from X-Men in 2000, from a script that was "punched up" by Joss Whedon. Like sure, now we've gotten to the point where super heroes will actually wear some of their iconic costumes, but the movies have to be constantly letting you know that they are in on the joke, that hey we all get it, this is silly looking poo poo! It's one thing to embrace the campiness, but what the MCU has created is this tone where everyone has to be joking in the most "mugging for the camera" way to undercut not just the emotional aspects of the movie but even the already comical aspects of the movie like "holy poo poo this guy's actual name is Octavius and he cosplays as an octopus!" when like, duh, that was already a joke.

There are some very delicious-looking food-props out there but I guess it makes sense that that's not Snyder's primary concern in that scene.
