He was a good man
If the Flash is going to make a haphazard suit he should probably just sew up some pajamas instead of creating an entire Iron Man suit.

The armor for Flash looks completely the opposite of a sleek, smooth thing I'd imagine a runner to have that's aerodynamic and is haphazard.

Why would the Flash need a costume that's sleek, smooth and aerodynamic?

Cause outside of the TACTICAL REALISM of the SPEEDFORCE meaning it doesn't matter or maybe he needs protection, it befits the image and perception of a super fast runner to have a costume that flows and suggests motion.

Cars don't NEED to be aerodynamic and can be the bulky poo poo from the 60s and 70s but those boats aren't always as sleek looking as a Lambo that just scream superfast awesome car.

It's hard to gauge reactions until the embargo lifts on full reviews imo. So far, common critique among blogger tweets is the third act is a bit weak, and first act takes a bit to find its footing but the build up is great and Wonder Woman's character is captivating. It's almost unanimous that everyone loved Pine and Gadot though. Lot of folks saying their on-screen chemistry is really good.

Is Wonder Woman strong? Yes.
Is Wonder Woman free? Yes.
Does Wonder Woman's heart glow? Unknown.

So far results are inconclusive, however new evidence points to E.T. perhaps being Canadian.

Wonder Woman's director (Patty Jenkins) was going to direct Thor 2 but there were "creative differences".

The projections I've seen have it opening around 65mil, which would put it on par with the first Thor but not the second, which made 85.

But I'm betting this film is going to have legs, it could catch up by the end of its run.

Edit: I'll bet it gets better reviews than Dark World

Cyborg is unimaginative and more like Bay's Transformer which is not necessarily that bad of a statement but it's...just...disappointing and not memorable.

Cyborg looks better in Injustice 2.

Honestly the only reason Cyborg looks weird is because his mechanical parts look more like a T-800 endoskeleton than the armor look he usually has on the comics.

Anyways, more Mera now from Amber Heard herself

Exactly. He now looks like a guy who is a cyborg (like the 'ancillary' characters in Star Wars) instead of like a guy in a suit. He looks good. It looks better than the illustrations of some guy in a robo-suit. Which no one liked anyway because... whatever reason fans don't like anything.

And more importantly his desgin calls to mind current prosthetic limbs to further emphasise the fact that Cyborg is a superhero for the disabled.

The early initial reactions to BvS they released were much more positive than the final reviews, but lol that literally every major reviewer, RogerEbert.com, almost every major newspaper, Vanity Fair, The Hollywood Reporter, The American Film Association, NPR, and The New Yorker film review all being run by hacks.
