It came from this LATimes interview http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/herocomplex/la-ca-hc-batman-v-superman-20160313-story.html

It's a really good interview. I like this choice bit, because Nolan is totally right:

Zack Snyder posted:

It's interesting. When I had my initial meeting with Chris Nolan about doing "Man of Steel," he said to me, "'Watchmen' is a movie you made too early." Because that movie was written deep into comic-book culture, as a way of exploring the why of heroes within pop culture. "Deadpool" shows that audiences have now gotten to the point where they can understand the satire of the genre. Before that, audiences were like, "I'm not ready for that. I'm not there yet."

To go back to Civil War a moment, since pretty much everything that's happened has been Stark's fault, him suddenly deciding to get behind registration (or the equivalent) is him going "Okay, I admit it, I'm an alcoholic. Starting monday, nobody is allowed to drink."

RECOGNIZE HULK

berserker posted:

Not so sure about Stark's motivation but at the very least I kind of understand where Thunderbolt Ross is coming from when he says "the people are frightened". Considering not that many people actually died in the grand scheme of things, I think Ross is essentially saying that something needs to be done because the people want something to be done, even if they're somewhat wrong about their reasoning and are letting emotions sway their judgement.

Thunderbolt Ross only cares because those loving Avengers are palling around with the goddamn Hulk. He's a menace, drat it. He must be hunted down where ever he is and the Registration act not only helps track him but puts superhumans at Ross' command.

I actually kind of like how Spider-man is a bit wonky on the landing. Also that suit looks better when you can actually see the details and it's not What If Spider-man Was In Color.

It's about time for my once per decade ban for being a consistently terrible poster.
It's either bad CGI work or just the worst shot thing in existence, because the actual high depth shot shows the suit to be textured, not that bright, and fairly well fitting.

I think you're still missing the joy in all of this.

DC made the three best drat comic movies of all time. Then they made Man of Steel. They had the opportunity to scrap their official cinematic universe right then and there, but they didn't! They have moronically stuck with it, even though they know they can do better!
I like DC comics and I want to see awesome DC comic movies... but they are absolutely running their own poo poo into the ground.

As much as I delight in seeing good movies, I'm also capable of enjoying the spectacle of ruination. And that's what we're getting right now from DC. The great place from whence the Nolanverse manifested is now imploding. And it is neat.

My only question is why do you have Rotten in green and Good in red? This is running counter to everything I learned in childhood games and in driving. I'm just rolling with Certified Fresh being gold instead of yellow. If you're going to quantify feelings please do so with proper color schemes.

A rotten tomato is cartoonishly green and nasty. A fresh tomato is red. A CERTIFIED FRESH tomato is solid gold.

It's moronic because time will make fools of the DC Cinematic Universe, not unlike Michael Bay's incredibly financially successful TMNT.
And as someone who enjoys DC, and knows that they can do better, I'm not exactly enthused about that.

If $$$ is the only thing DC is interested in, then they should by all means make creative decisions based on financial analyses to the exclusion of all else.

micheal bay is actually a pretty great example of what i'm getting at; internet nerds and critics keep talking about how poo poo his transformers movies are and yet they keep getting made because movie studios aren't gonna care about that unless it starts affecting their earnings

MoS was a success in their eyes so there's no reason for them not to use it as a starting point for their movie line
