The Dave posted:Not being a comics guy, how powerful is WW supposed to be? It felt a little off balance that she looked like she was having a blast and playing around while everyone else was on the brink of death. She came off as near invincible. She's literally a God(dess) on Earth, as opposed to the pretender Superman. She's just of the Greek variety rather than the Yahweh one.

All the other Amazons are just as strong as her right? I wouldn't call her a literal Goddess mainly because the actual Greek gods are out there doin' poo poo allegedly. I always imagined her as like female Hercules. Or super-strong Xena. edit: vv Oh, so literally female Hercules SolidSnakesBandana fucked around with this message at 15:51 on Mar 28, 2016 |

Money doesn't matter. Only opinions matter. Not our opinions though. The opinions of critics. And people who upvote star-ratings on IMDB years before the release of movies. ...but not even the 11,000 premature IMDB votes that placed BvS at 9.7 stars months ahead of its release could skew it hard enough to survive the harsh reality of its own awfulness. There is no war between Marvel and DC studios. There is no throne. There is no scenario here where DC "wins". When it comes down to making good movies, Marvel has no quarrel with DC. Just as a boot has no quarrel with an ant.

computer parts posted:From what we saw, the colonies reverted back to barren moon-like worlds, which is probably how they started out. Earth is already able to support life, and even if the terraforming fails they'll just get superpowers instead (though I don't think they knew that at the time of the speech). I think super strength and toughness came from yellow sunlight, while weirder effects like heat vision, sensory overload, and flight (as well as respiratory problems and other growing pains) came from sunlight plus earth's specific atmosphere. Terraforming would get rid of the latter stuff.

Shageletic posted:Isn't BvS making like all the money right now? It's doing very well for a first week but the major question will be the retention it has. There's no potential major releases next week so it has a good chance of having a strong second week too but it is also getting (while not unfavorable) less positive buzz than the first film so it may see a sharper decline. It's hard to say.

You know, I really want a Doom Patrol movie. The Brotherhood of Dada deserves to be on the big screen. Although thinking about it modern special effects might be too good for the Doom Patrol. It needs to have those weird camera tricks and puppets of 80s mid-budget horror movies to really work.

There's no potential major releases next week so it has a good chance of having a strong second week too but it is also getting (while not unfavorable) less positive buzz than the first film so it may see a sharper decline. It's hard to say. Completely anecdotal "word of mouth" story: My wife and sister-in-law who are not at all into nerdy poo poo (my wife knows more on average through living with me but she still had to ask who Cyborg was, my sister-in-law kept hilariously calling Aquaman "Mer-Man" which led to a lot of Zoolander jokes) saw the movie with me on Saturday and loved it. We were discussing it quite a bit at Easter and they were talking it up, her 8 year old cousin is pysched to see it (he wants Batman to punch Superman in the balls, he also made me sing Led Zepplin's Black Dog in his pretend rock band, cool kid). I think there are a lot of conflicting factors at work, and it should make the next few weeks interesting to see how it plays out: - A lot of the hardcore comic movie fans likely saw it this past weekend, undeterred by the bad reviews. However, other people might be put off by the bad reviews and those same hardcore folks might not see it multiple times if they hated it. - The hype train obviously helped push it to record March opening numbers, and that might be cut into by reviews. On the other hand, all this week during NCAA tourney and prime time television people will be seeing "#1 movie in America" ads for it, every 15 minutes which might keep things going. - I think a lot of families with kids didn't necessarily take them to the movies on a busy holiday weekend, and (again anecdotally) kids want to see Superman and Batman punch each other in the balls. This could potentially be hurt by some of the violence, but I don't really think it was too bad. - There is word of mouth and buzz just around how well it's doing and even the bad reviews cause interest based on "how could something get lovely reviews and still be killing at the box office". Combined with nothing else to see on a rainy early April weekend, people might go see it just to see what the fuss is about. I think there could be a big drop but I also think with such a huge opening you aren't going to see it bottom out to the point where it goes from "sets March records" to "wasn't a financial success". I am not super invested in how well it does financially outside of hoping it doesn't derail Justice League plans, but again since JL is already filming and BvS looks to be at least a moderate success, I don't see that happening either.

I'm sure it's going to be a success. I doubt it will have THAT huge a dropoff. At best it's the difference between a big success and a huge success. I've said it before but I'm sure we're going to hear a lot about it once Civil War comes out because (tedious or not) it's the big competitor to BvS. If Civil War significantly outperforms BvS then you're going to hear a lot of commentary about that particular result and same vice-versa. I doubt either film will do poorly and mostly it's going to be more fodder for the tedious inter-company slapfights.

ImpAtom posted:I'm sure it's going to be a success. I doubt it will have THAT huge a dropoff. At best it's the difference between a big success and a huge success. Yeah, all true. It will be interesting to see how it is compared to Civil War (well like, intelligently compared, not just the usual Marvel vs DC poo poo slinging). One thing someone mentioned, maybe in this or the other thread, is how people seem to actually be legitimately choosing sides in the Batman v Superman debate. When I was walking to the theater with my wife we were wearing Superman shirts and some dude in a Batman shirt scoffed and said "typical" under his breath, which was hilarious. It was also hotly debated over Easter dinner who was better (Batman seemed to win out overall). I wish they had played it up even more in the advertising, honestly, because it is a fun way to get into the movie. Obviously Civil War is still a ways off but so far the general response seems to be "oh so Tony Stark is being an rear end in a top hat again? ok", rather than an actual debate over who is right. Maybe once the movie is closer/released I will see more family debates about the ethics of super hero registration, which would be great. HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:It was really funny that people were like "why is TMNT getting a sequel?!??!" Why do you loving think Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is getting a sequel? A guy on my Facebook said "why do they keep letting Zack Snyder make movies??" Like, no they're not "letting" him they are paying him well to do it because he makes them money.
