Yeah, the machine is really only a bad thing when there's actual friction between them and the creative types (such as in Edgar Wright's case). When they support what a director's trying to do, I'd say they have a positive effect more than anything.

Oh gently caress No http://www.forbes.com/sites/luketho...r/#102ca34b47ee More than any other rumor in the history of forever, have I never wanted one to be wrong than this one. The Bayformers are fine for what they are, but Jesus Christ do not drag Rom into this. Rom does not deserve this. Rom is better than this. Leave Rom the gently caress alone. Also Rom's never had a giant gently caress off sword so I don't know why the sword Optimus got would be his. Nor is Rom... Optimus sized. Though I won't lie, if Rom is human sized but still wields a giant gently caress off Optimus sword, I could get behind that.

I don't have a problem with Shane Black embracing the machine or whatever. I thought it was kind of funny though. Joss Whedon the guy who got so disillusioned by the machine he quit the MCU convinced Shane Black to embrace it.

Just because Whedon doesn't want to continue making giant tent-pole action blockbusters for the next 20 years of his life doesn't mean he hates "the machine". If you want to spend like $250 mil to make one of these over-the-top action extravaganzas, guess what, there's going to be a lot of people involved and there's going to be a "machine". There's just no way around it, it seems like Whedon figured out that if you're involved in that kind of project, you may as well use the machine to your advantage rather than fighting against it constantly. That doesn't mean it wouldn't get old after a while, and Whedon probably wants to work on something at some point where he can use more creativity and exercise more control. There are practical realities to making these movies, and you can acknowledge those realities while still being able to work through them. Many directors have handled it well, but they do usually get sick of it. Its totally natural.

Ya'll are taking my joke far too seriously. I apologize. There's also far more interesting things in that article than my one liner. Like how Shane Black had to make sure certain things appealed to Chinese audiences. Or how he considers Marvel's winning formula to be "these mythic caped heroes come striding out of the fog, lit from below and backlit. And then they stub their toe!"

MacheteZombie posted:Or how he considers Marvel's winning formula to be "these mythic caped heroes come striding out of the fog, lit from below and backlit. And then they stub their toe!" He's kind of got a point there. One thing that's always set Marvel apart from DC, even back in the 70s, was the fundamental humanity of their characters. They're extraordinarily empowered people, but they're still people. DC's tried to hit this a few times, and most of their best work succeeds at it, but they've always had a more detached view of their heroes.

It wasn't even Shane Black himself, he said he didn't film those sections. They would just film a scene with a big Chinese actor saying "we need to prepare for Tony Stark's arrival!" and insert it into the movie: Shane Black posted:“It’s a huge market. Don’t blame Marvel for that. I mean, go look at the Transformers’ movies, where there are lines about like, ‘Let’s stop them! But first we must consult the Central Committee!’ There’s stuff written in the script that just kisses rear end cheeks! …Look, Iron Man 3 did it. We had stuff that I didn’t even film for the Chinese version, where it just cuts to their Robert De Niro in essence–a really wonderful actor–and he’s like, ‘Is Mr. Stark on his way? Ah, good yeah. We must prepare! I’ll do my best.’ He hangs up and then just starts drinking this milk in front of the camera! Geely milk! But here’s the thing: I know a lot of Chinese people and I had a Chinese girlfriend. Even they know it’s bullshit. In China they’re going: ‘Guys, come on. This isn’t fooling anyone. This isn’t even supposed to be in the movie. You’re just jerking us off here.’ But they still saw it in China.”

ROM Spaceknight is an 80s Marvel comic based on a toyline nobody remembers, where a robot man flies around space fighting aliens. It became kind of a cult hit, despite not taking off in the mainstream, because after a certain point it started getting really dark and weird and cool.

The funny thing is they take people seeing the thing in China as validation that their strategy worked, but of course, beyond playing games to get the film past the ministry, it might not make one loving whit of difference to people wanting to see the movie. They're not stupid, they know it's pandering bullshit too. Maybe they just wanna see some movies and there's a lot of people there.

Yaws posted:haha it's like that was written to piss off CD posters I mean, I really don't see what the big deal is at all. "Two guys who were already executive producing these projects including BvS are now promoted". Stuff like getting Affleck more involved and opting for a more experienced director with a more "authoritative stamp" on Flash are both unambiguously good things. Literally the only thing in this article that annoys me in the slightest is the suggestion that Suicide Squad had problems that needed to be "corrected" instead of just being scheduled pickup shots like has been repeatedly reported. I dunno, maybe there's something I'm missing. Unless it's just "this is confirmation that BvS disappointed Warner Brothers!" or whatever.

Regardless the impact this decision will hve on the DCEU moving forward, I can't help but feel bad for Snyder. The most vocal parts of the internet literally won't be satisfied until they see him crash and burn like Josh Trank. What the hell did Snyder to them to get this amount of vitriol?

He works out and is better looking than the nerds who hate him in addition to the obvious of being grossly more successful in life. Like, nobody can hate Whedon because no matter how rich his products make him he's still a gross little manchild. It's a purely visceral reaction.
