Yeah Coulson was good. He had pretty fun scenes with like 3/4 of the team, especially with Tony.

Bananaquiter posted:The movie was good/bad despite the Whedon/Snyder parts. It'll be an interesting experiment. So far the only DC movie from this generation I've whole heartedly liked was WW (well, other than Lego Batman), so having another hand in DC's main line of movies would be a way for me to get excited and see the movie while its in the theater. e: I forget what exactly happened to his character, but Anchorman 2 also had a stepdad psychartrist. It's like noticing the giant spider robots all over again. Shageletic fucked around with this message at 20:46 on Jun 15, 2017 |

Not like that's just an Age of Ultron problem, though. Avengers didn't exactly respect who Captain America was in First Avenger.

I kind of hope Joss Whedon doesn't treat Superman like he did Captain America. The two are such fundamentally different characters I don't see why he would but that fear does plague me

To me personally tough he was just this nerd stand-in that basically communicates, via his characterization and subsequent death; that nerds are important to the people who have power. Witch seems ridiculous to me since it requires fury to manipulate the avengers by presenting them with the thing he consumed to motivate them into action; not say the fact that hes either bonded with them or the fact that he was a person seemed to truly move them to action. "see he was a fan because he bought your stuff, so you owe it to him to fight back against this alien menace"

Man, I missed basically every star wars reference in man of steel until I watched it back to back with a new hope. There's targeting computers everywhere, krypton explodes in the same shock wave as the SE alderaan, the world engine does the tie fighter scream...

Shageletic posted:A really underappreciated movie. Not as good as the original, but what is. It's just way, way too loving long. Every joke is dragged out just a bit too long, leaving you with the memory of how good it was when the joke started. Megaman's Jockstrap posted:I cannot believe Man of Steel came out 4 years ago. I still can't believe how good the Krypton sequence. It's so full of crazy design. A personal gripe of mine is when science fiction civilisations only have one ship design that they always use, without variation. The Kryptonians have at least 4 quite distinctive ships. They have their own language (apparently designed by a linguist). The pilot you briefly glimpse as Kal-El takes off is like a baroque HR Geiger character. All for a civilisation we see for 20 minutes.

I really have to get my girlfriend to watch it because she skipped it for the same reason I initially did. At this point, how do people in this thread rank the DCEU movies from favorite to least favorite?

Michael Pena is the best character in the entire franchise.

I really liked Wonder Woman and I played it higher on my list than Batman v Superman if only because I think the Ultimate Cut should have been the one to show but it's still a 3 hour movie and it didn't need to be if they gave Superman solo sequel film before introducing Batman. That said, I appreciate all the things going on thematically in Batman V Superman and how it all ties in to the characters' relationships with each other and their parents. It was one aspect I wish there was more of in Wonder Woman. She had basically two moms and outside the first act, you never see them again.

NikkolasKing posted:At this point, how do people in this thread rank the DCEU movies from favorite to least favorite? Wonder Woman Man of Steel Batman v Superman Ultimate Edition . . . . . . Batman v Superman Theatrical Cut Suicide Squad Wonder Woman and Man of Steel are both really great movies in my eyes. Wonder Woman being my top pick mostly because I'm more heavily invested in her comics and the character herself. Plus Gal Gadot  The Ultimate Edition of BvS is a good film; I've come to appreciate it as a "slow burn" in a way, and it's lofty with its ambition. I can appreciate that, but I still really dislike the execution of the Martha scene though. BvS's theatrical cut is just so poorly put together and left a bad taste in my mouth after leaving the theater. I don't see it as a legit bad movie, but it's not good either. Just mediocre I guess. Suicide Squad is a straight up dumpster fire. Only redeeming aspects of it for me were Will Smith and Margot Robbie turning in solid performances.
