Watchmen is a story of repugnant people with varying character flaws using their vigilantism to enforce their ethics on the world at large running headlong into each other until they reach a new, morally reprehensible detente. The film deftly captures this, and as such is a great adaptation. Dr. Strange has a fun final bossfight undermined by the visual effects of the pocket dimensions having, ultimately, no role in how fights play out making them elaborate screensavers. Oh, and its painfully eager to tell a joke whenever it gets even a tinge of emotion and comes across like a child trying to tell a story but not wanting to admit it has emotional responses.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:The fact that the "Not my Superman" crowd think of him as "my Superman" is a big indicator that they had a sense of ownership over the character and were always going to measure the film against their personal pre-conceived notions. Any deviation from their idea of what the character must be like (even if he figured himself out and grew into the classic ideal version of Superman by the end of the film) was going to be seen as a betrayal. Man of Steel is a movie who's critics hate it, but struggle to articulate why while proposing fixes that would inevitably make the film far worse. Glance at any Cracked article where the film is mentioned to get an idea.

However, thanks to a debut of a new routine and the fact that I've moved to a new flat where the gym is pretty much next door I'm hitting it four times a week instead of three which I used to do. I'm also finding more time to do HITT cardio, which I would previously make excuses to avoid but am now starting to enjoy. Point is, I'm improving on my lifts and looking pretty good if I do say so myself, but I still don't like Batman V Superman and quite like The Avengers. At what point in my progress will the switch around occur?

well why not posted:It sounds like it's too late for you if you prefer The Avengers. Did you suffer head trauma at any point? Any ocular damage? Uh, I've done very, very brief bits of boxing because a friend of mine is very much into it, I only went with him a few times and, as a beginner, was only really hit in the body during sparring and not in the head and even then not very hard. So, no not really. I walked into a door once when I was a lot younger, but that was just a bump on the head.

The whole comic fan thing hating Snyder probably has to do with a couple insecurities too. The fanatics have invested so much into the material for their own reasons that now they're facing Snyder who has better understanding and ability to deliver a complex story, present it and attempt to explore something beyond what the fanboy can think of - but one that may question or defy whatever the nerd felt and is trying to hold on to so it's challenging them. There's a bit of jealousy in that too. Marvel never really gets that much in depth of exploring themes or questioning things beyond the superficial and it's more easily digestible so it doesn't poke at the fanatic's understanding of what they believe of the material. And Whedon's is so limited for film he can just deliver the basics and be praised for it. Ang Lee's Hulk may be a flawed film but it did so much better for the Hulk, film, comics, and respected the material than anything Marvel's done and tried to get into the guts of things. But that didn't meet expectation versus Hulk punching Thor and bashing like CG toys. There's room for fun, hell yeah, but it doesn't need to be the end all. *shock Superman snapped a neck and we see the horror of what would happen if my childhood heroes actually fought and the consequences???* NOT MY SUPERMAN!! Where is the hope?!? Where are my warm fuzzy feelings when Batman punches poor desperate homeless in the street with his Batmobile? Hence SuperMechaGodzilla is right, comic fans don't actually love art or the comics or the material, they just love their own understanding and feeling of it and want to protect that and feel they have to defend it cause someone else isn't getting what they're getting out of it. They get insecure cause it has whatever value to them and now it's openly being questioned and prodded at so they have to run to defend it. I don't usually see the same kind of ingrained defenses against Dramas like, say Split which people can get into and really try to discuss themes and such or other movies versus SciFi/Comic Book movies that have a large fanbase because when a film is presented as art people debate and try to understand it. I guess it's when it becomes an institution like Star Wars or Trek or whatever that it happens.

Does Dr Strange count as a disabled superhero? There's a few of those (technically) going around, Cyborg being DC's first, I think. (not counting when Batman is mildly physically crippled, on top of being massively emotionally crippled) Of course, Professor X might be the first on the silver screen, and then Daredevil. Disability really can be a compelling theme for a superhero, whether it's overcompensating for a specific disability with some extranormal device, or just dealing with the world while afflicted by a major weakness. Daredevil was pretty good with showing how he views the world and how it isn't a complete replacement for sight.

He wouldn't know who you were exactly from a distance, or what colors were, but yeah Daredevil can see just fine. Doctor Strange also isn't disabled. He can't preform surgery with his hands, but can with magic, but otherwise his hands work fine for whatever.

UmOk posted:Daredevil pretends to be blind for sympathy. No reason he couldn't function as a regular sighted person. Also to protect his identity, which didn't work out so well. The coolest depictions of DD are when they actually show him struggling with stuff his senses can't decipher, like a computer screen or a cell phone. Being able to read ink on a printed page from the "impression" is bullshit because offset printing plates don't leave an impression and there's no "raised ink" either. The best DD writers come up with interesting ways to demonstrate that he's still handicapped because otherwise, what's the point of the loving character?

Yeah the only effect of the car crash is that Dr. Strange loses his original super power, and falsely believes it's hampering his gaining his new one. It's not portrayed as a genuine disability.
