That's what Execs do is take something successful and run it into the ground/exploit it. I'm just as worried about them horning in on production of the sequel.

Yeah, I really would prefer what they take away is "a lower-budget but heartfelt movie can still do well" but what they're gonna take away is "wouldn't it be great if Groot impaled a dude while shouting I AM loving GROOT."

Lower budget but heartfelt and most importantly starring a massively popular property. Let's not forget that last part.

It’s poking fun at Marvel. That label takes itself so seriously, can you imagine them making fun of themselves in a movie? They’d rather stab themselves."

Even some of the professional reviewers seem to be completely ignorant of what Deadpool is and taking the wrong message. The New York Times called Deadpool "The latest addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe" and that it "follows Ant-Man in being a smaller budget success." Variety quoted a Fox executive saying that it heralds in a return of feel good "American Pie-style" gross out comedies.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:Variety quoted a Fox executive saying that it heralds in a return of feel good "American Pie-style" gross out comedies.  Having not seen Deadpool yet I'm not totally qualified to say this but that's like the worst lesson to take away from Deadpool. Unless the movie horribly hosed up, this should not be any reasonable person's thought after seeing the film.

Ugh that's no good at all. And that new Batman movie will be another Batman Vs Joker movie, I just know it. At this point, I'm just sick of the Joker, give me any other Batman villain other than him because the Joker at his point is just obnoxious. I'm still holding out hope that BvS is good enough to let the DCCU grow beyond more Batman stuff, becuase it just can't seem to do that.

I am trying to think of a Batman villain that would make me less interested in a Batman movie than Joker at this point. All I got is Joe Chill, and even then you could still do a cool movie about Batman finding his parents killer, trying to unravel the conspiracy only to find out that it was just a guy robbing some rich folks, wrong place wrong time. It would be anticlimactic as gently caress but that moment where the audience and Batman realize together that this whole goose chase was just to find a regular run of the mill mugger would be priceless. burnishedfume fucked around with this message at 04:53 on Feb 17, 2016 |

Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice will do just great even if it's not as good as it could be. I don't think there's much validity to that report. The fact that the report praises Eisenberg's Lex Luthor is enough for me to find the rest suspect. I'm expecting him and Doomsday to be kind of crappy but the rest looks good.

Back when Dark Knight Rises was first announced, I really wanted the villain to be Deadshot -- not just because he's one of my favorite characters (which he is, although we'll see what Will Smith does with him), but because he first appeared pretending to be a hero, but instead was murdering his underworld rivals. After the downer ending of The Dark Knight, I thought it would be cool to see Gotham embrace a more flamboyant and violent vigilante, who would then turn the city against Batman even more before he was revealed as the real bad guy. Either that, or an adaptation of Matt Wagner's first Batman/Grendel story, with Hunter Rose as a distorted mirror image of Bruce Wayne -- another man who was naturally gifted at everything, who raised himself to become so far beyond most men, but became an assassin and a crime lord out of boredom and amorality instead of becoming a hero out of survivor's guilt and social responsibility. And then Bruce and Hunter would travel in the same high society circles (old money playboy meets new money darling of the literary scene) while facing off against each other at night.

Which could be alright. My personal pick for a villain would be forgettable 90s slasher Cornelius Stirk, who could make other people hallucinate him as various historical figures, and was offed by AzBats to prove he was hardcore. He would mug people and convince them Abraham Lincoln did it. I want to say he disguised himself as Moses or some other religious figure one time. We can go full Breyfogle era and have Batman's mute hunchback Harold build all his gadgets.

He gave Man of Steel a good review, which led some to believe he's upset that the sequel is a Batman crossover and wants WB to change their plans do that there will be more Superman movies sooner. He actually said later that the thing about WB changing their movie schedule is entirely his own speculation.

I thought there was a very long period of time for a couple of years where Latino Review was actually getting far more accurate scoops than other movie sites, though. Is it sort of the thing that as sites like that get more popular, there are an increasing number of people who are submitting fake scoops to them?

mycot posted:The best hope for that would be Wonder Woman doing well, wouldn't it? Exactly. I'm just worried the WW1 setting may not resonate with people who are pretty much conditioned to think the only war worth seeing is WW2. And Under the Hood story would be good, especially if it builds on what they seem to be implying in BvS. Though I'm worried that it will feature mostly Joker and Harle action, with only the barest hint of Jason Todd. Actually, Smith Deadshot vs Affleck Batman would be pretty cool.
