I don't think I've ever seen a movie crank out as many different posters and promo shots as Suicide Squad. They must be hoping this becomes the same kind of cultural phenomenon as Burton's Batman or the first Ninja Turtles movie.

HIJK posted:I am also looking forward to a great deal of handwringing about how Zack Snyder is the superhero anti-Christ and ruining All The Movies. You don't have to look forward to it, it's been gushing nonstop for about 3 years now. The entertainment value is extremely low, it turns out.

Its the kind of thing that would have worked just fine in the animated series but I don't think that's what they're going for. Or maybe they are who the gently caress knows.

I think it's something that's going to work on screen rather than written down so I'm not all that worried. Faraci's set visit is pretty good actually, and worth reading.

I too think it will work better on screen (doesn't every single joke meant to be told rather than read?) but I mean, "painfully unfunny"?

NikkolasKing posted:Having never seen a Snyder film, are you saying he'd pull a Verhoeven and make a movie satirizing and condemning what he thinks the book was about? It'll be a little more advanced than Verhoeven because he'll preoccupy himself entirely with adapting the form of Rand's literature as earnestly as possible, but thus leaving its political and psychological connotations always foregrounded. Meanwhile, if there are any even slightly subtle aspects of Rand's literature, he'll summarize them as reductively as possible, either through really obvious visual innuendo, or through a character just saying a platitude in deadpan. Actually, I guess it's a little more like early Zucker Bros. without the laugh pause and double-take.

I don't get why each 'faction' has one and what they do with it. iirc the humans Atlantans and amazonians teamed up before to send Darkseid away and it either involved splitting up the motherboxes to their 3 realms or they divided them up afterwards for safety. Basically dragon ball logic.

The only thing that irks me from those set reports is them saying that the lesson they learned with BvS is that people don't like to see their heroes deconstructed....which is like the wrong thing to take away from that. I don't really feel like that was anyone's issue at all.

Since when is a mother box anything at all similar to the Tesseract? A mother box is used to control the boom tubes right? The Tesseract is much more powerful than that, it serves a completely different purpose in the mythology/canon.

The Mother Box has a variety of powers that varies from canonical source to canonical source. They're more than just the keys to fancy doors. Dunno if you can compare them to the tesseract/cosmic cube tho.

I don't really feel like that was anyone's issue at all. What you feel is unimportant. People are absolutely reacting to the film's thesis that the vast majority of Superman media presents a decaffeinated vision of the character, in order hide the terrifying implications. Superman is too good, and therefore a threat our way of life. So he's all but literally beaten down by the media, reduced to pulling cats out of trees. The film also makes the ballsy choice of saying Clark's relationship with Lois is a bad one that compromises them both. And the point with Batman is not even so much that he's a bad guy, but that he's ineffectual - a boring person resorting to increasingly desperate publicity stunts to maintain his spooky mystique.

Which, along with his and Luthor's obsessive-compulsive 'branding,' is something of a subversive dig at DC/WB even trying to emulate the MCU formula. It's like Fox's animated tv shows have developed a conspicuous culture of open derision for their parent network.

Mads Mikkelsen's character in Dr. Strange has been revealed in an action figure tie in. The Mads figure is labelled "Kaecilius" I've never heard of him, but his the article says: quote:Kaecilius was created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko for one of Strange's earliest adventures in Strange Tales #130 in 1965. Kaecilius was a henchman and mouthpiece for Baron Mordo, Strange's arch-enemy and servant of Dormammu. Kaecilius appeared intermittently throughout Strange Tales, often acting as Mordo's general or messenger. On some occasions, Mordo was able to mentally control Kaecilius and channel Dormammu's power through him. A relatively minor character, Kaecilius has not appeared in comic books in 34 years.
