We are in a comic book movie thread. We have accepted that the content we enjoy watching is trashy on some level. It's why I can enjoy things like Smallville and Supergirl despite knowing that they are not high quality shows.

Who gives a poo poo if it's Of Quality Whose quality? If you enjoy it, you enjoy it. You can figure out why if yo uwant to, but the simple fact is, not everything has to be perfect, and a film called Night Beast can be more enjoyable to watch than a film called (Insert Oscar award winning mega hit here) despite one being objectively a worse film. Because Night Beast is amazing.

Burkion posted:Who gives a poo poo if it's Of Quality Well certainly not me. I'm not aware of Night Beast but you can still like something and acknowledge that it has flaws. By your logic, nobody should criticize anything. People can enjoy watching Sharknado for instance but nobody is going to call that movie good.

Speaking of TV, here are two really short clips for the FX series Legion. (You might need a VPN, or just use Opera). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oh1abp6xjqE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJd7URhSiSI

While I'd put them in the same tier of quality, they're different kinds of bad; Identity Crisis was an idea that could have been fantastic executed absurdly poorly, Arrow and Flash are mediocre ideas done in a mediocre way. Watch Arrow up to when Manu Bennett peaces out of the show, I'd say.

I stopped after the half of third season (or maybe I DID watch all of 3rd season but it was loving trash) and really, Manu carried that TV show. Had the whole team on his back, do.

Identity Crisis is simply a manual on how to NOT write a story centering around sexual assault.

Was Identity Crisis the one where someone's wife ended up in a coma or died because her jealous friend shrunk down to microscopic levels and danced on her brain? Or did it just involve Dr Light raping that one lady and then him and batman being mindwiped by the JLA? SolidSnakesBandana posted:I loved that terrible, terrible show. Also, Smallville's Lex Luthor is really the only good thing about that show...aside from Chloe's fine, sexy rear end.

Reading your complete incomprehension over BvS alone is like living in a Dilbert comic strip. Reading your rationalisation for your dislike is likewise amazing. It's weird that this bothers you.

I coincidentally ordered a bluray copy yesterday apropos of nothing. Never saw it or read the book. I look forward to watching it this week. Not a comic book movie per se, but I just watched Judex after having it sit on my shelf for a couple years. Loved it. Arsene Lupin with a smattering of Batman.
