Hat Thoughts posted:It doesn't, he's saying that the vast majority of Comics are garbage, but that this is the case with most media forms, the difference is that comics (because of the focus on continuity & canon) encourage steady consumption of the mediocre/not-so-good stuff. Yeah, it's why people always (rightfully) rag on the '1970s political thriller' thing. When you move outside the "superhero genre" (which, at this point, is not really a genre but a modifier that you apply to actual genres), and compare Winter Soldier to other spy movies, it's on par with things like The Bourne Legacy and Salt. Like, Salt is the Black Widow movie people have been clamoring for. It already came out, and nobody gave a poo poo - even though Salt's not a bad movie at all.

You'd really be best off if you just stop caring about spoilers. They don't actually affect anything, unless the big twist was the entirety of the movie. In which case the movie was bad anyway and you're not losing anything. Edit: Like, does Empire Strikes back suck because you knew that Vader was Luke's father before you ever even heard of the movie?

Eh, people get overly freaked out about spoilers, and the thing spoiled about BvS is irrelevant right up until you see it coming, but I'm not going to call The Usual Suspects a bad movie just because it was neat to be surprised the first time around.

Everyone should read spoilers, forget the feeling of surprise, people have become addicted to the feeling of surprise, it has taken hold of them, and they resent its absence.

I said come in! posted:As excited as I am for Suicide Squad, i'm a bit concerned and confused about the storyline. I feel like the trailers are not doing enough to give the basic premise behind this film. From what I've been able to glean from the trailers, it looks like The Government/The Cops/The CIA/SHIELD (insert shadowy puppet master here) has decided to band together the villains to carry out a covert op under the rightful assumption that they're not only powerful but expendable as well and the whole thing somehow backfires and they all get loose. Then Batman has to come in and kick everyones rear end. It seemed pretty clear cut to me. Not that that means it's a good plot idea or that the film is going to be worth a poo poo but that trailer made more thematic sense to to me than the entirety of BvS. Hat Thoughts posted:Why would they be reading page 40... To read posts that don't have spoilers and because they're interested in the movie and have been following that thread in anticipation of it? You kind of have a point because I know I tend to check out of movie threads once they're released and don't want plots ruined but in answer to your question, that's who the black bars are for. When a thread turns into a wall of black, I usually show myself out. BiggerBoat fucked around with this message at 23:54 on Apr 11, 2016 |

I mean obviously there is stuff like the Sixth Sense's twist, but I can't see people freaking out at any reveal in a serialized movie. It reminds me of poo poo like hearing how people vomited and passed out during the Exorcist. Have us millenials just evolved like a protective detachment from media that prevents us from being affected by movies like that?

Imagine blockbusters are barely a thing. Let's not even talk about home video. You watched maybe 2 movies a year in the theater and those movies ran in theaters for months and months at a time. Star Wars is The loving Cultural Phenomenon and, guaranteed, if you watched 2 movies in 1980, Empire Strikes Back was going to be one of the two. Now imagine you have absolutely no source material to sneak preview information out of off the internet, because while Star Wars cribbed poo poo wholesale from Very Influential Sources, nobody knows that Darth Vader breaks Luke's back but Luke totally comes back after 6 months in traction to defeat him. Because that's what we had Way Back When.

I said come in! posted:As excited as I am for Suicide Squad, i'm a bit concerned and confused about the storyline. I feel like the trailers are not doing enough to give the basic premise behind this film. In the previous trailer we see Amanda Waller trying to sell her crazy idea to some generals over dinner, and then in this new trailer she is doing it again at the White House? Why though? And what does Superman have to do with all of this? From how the trailers talk about him, this takes place after Batman vs. Superman, so he is dead at this point. What is the anxiety that the government is having that makes them feel that these locked away villains need to be brought out to do something? These are all good questions, and since the Suicide Squad trailers go out of their way to make the goals of the movie's antagonists and indeed their actual identities as unclear as possible (even Joker is portrayed like an important sideplot/complication instead of the actual big bad) you can probably safely assume it's tied into the overplot foreshadowing from BvS, because that's the only thing it would make sense to so heavily redact Between that and the Batman vs. Joker stuff going on the biggest problem with Suicide Squad might well be that we don't spend enough time with the actual Suicide Squad. But then, working around stuff like that is why you hire good directors

You guys see that Arkham movie? Batman:Assault on Arkham? It was pretty bad, and it seems to loosely mirror the Suicide Squad movie in a lot of ways. I hope they learn something from that. To put it into context how bad it is, there's a scene where Deadshot and Harley are loving. And Batman just kinda watches while dozens of Arkham guards are brutally murdered in the line of duty.

The biggest problem with Deadshot/Harley ending up together is that it might preclude Ivy joining the Suicide Squad in a sequel. Under no circumstances should she end up back with Joker and given that this iteration of the character seems to have been machine-tooled to evoke "lovely embarrassing narcissistic ex-boyfriend showing up at your job without warning" I suspect the movie will render a similar conclusion

I'd cut Luke some slack though, he did just get his hand cut off. Guy A. Person posted:Hahah goddamn. I mean obviously there is stuff like the Sixth Sense's twist, but I can't see people freaking out at any reveal in a serialized movie. It's because cinema has moved on beyond something like The Exorcist. The crazy things that drove you parents to piss their pants in the theater permeated the culture and became part of the baseline. It's like how movies are cut much faster now than years and years ago. I remember my friend and I rented The Exorcist because it was supposed to be the scariest movie ever, and were somewhat bored with it.

If someone actually wants to avoid spoilers for a thing then they shouldn't be reading Internet forums discussing that thing. It seems pretty simple to me. I've done it plenty of times. If someone wants to avoid spoilers for a movie that came out weeks ago - what? That being said you're still kind of a dick for intentionally spoiling poo poo for people especially if it's not even out yet so please don't do that Pirate Jet fucked around with this message at 02:06 on Apr 12, 2016 |

My reasoning behind spoilers is that sometimes someone wants to go into a thread and ask a question, ie "can I bring my kid to this without traumatizing him," or "I'm uncomfortable with [scenario], is it okay to see this movie?" Sometimes that person doesn't want to be spoiled, even if the page is 49 pages long already. I like being surprised by things in movies, even if they're not entirely surprising. If someone goes out of their way to be an rear end in a top hat and spoil something for someone early on in its lifecycle, they're just being an rear end in a top hat.
