The reason Steppenwolf's face looks so bad is because the industry-standard facial motion capture solution is currently tied up in a legal battle over stolen technology. Scanline VFX tried as best they could to replicate its features for Justice League, but obviously failed. The case over the MOVA facial capture is actually really interesting: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-esq/hollywood-confronts-a-copyright-argument-potential-mass-disruption-1049516 ""[A]n end-user's role in creating a matrix is marginal. Creating a matrix is unlike the creative process used in many computer art programs, which permit an end-user to create an original work of art in an electronic medium. It is fair to say that users of such programs often supply the lion's share of the creativity to create the screen display." ""The MOVA Contour system takes two-dimensional camera captures as input, and the program then synthesizes them into three-dimensional outputs with subtlety and artistry, based on creative choices made by its programmers and embodied in its copyrighted software instructions," " "Rearden is saying that the film director is limited by artistic choices already made by the programmer — and what actually is produced comes through the engine of technology."

ungulateman posted:The communion scene clarifies exactly what's coming, but the theatrical version cuts directly from Lex saying 'ding ding ding ding' to the 'angels and demons' portrait from earlier - except it's upside down, so the demons are coming from above. Reminder that a major complaint about BVS was "bad editing".

I defend the films, but the editing feels abrupt. Scenes end and all of a sudden we're somewhere else without any kind of establishing shots. I liked the theatrical cut well enough, but since Ultimate came out I haven't seen it since the theater so I can't give specific examples. But at the time I remember thinking it jumped around a lot and didn't quite flow together.

Mr. Apollo posted:That’s why his portrayal of the Joker is the most insane version. There's one ep of 60's Batman where the Joker becomes a celebrated artist, and begins working as an instructor to Gotham's elite. At one point, one his students cheerfully asks what they're going to be doing next, and he looks at her and says "Oh, I'm going to ransom you all." It was seriously chilling.

The 60s Joker had a lot of quirks that I think informed later versions of him, like being near-supernaturally lucky, and an earnest enthusiasm for art and creativity in his own sociopathic way.

I personally really like the editing in beavis and have zero interest in watching the ultimate cut, as the editing reflects the nightmarish breakdown batman is experiencing throughout the movie.

Habibi posted:But I don't watch comic book movies to vicariously experience the psychological anguish of its heroes. You may not consciously desire that, but it would be remiss of you to ignore that the alienation and anguish of superheroes is a convention of the genre. There's no lack of psychological anguish in, say, X-Men, Spider-Man, Hulk, Captain America, even Iron Man and Doctor Strange. With Batman in particular, the idea of him being tortured and obsessive is an irrevocable component of what makes him compelling. Beavis just finds new and visually nuanced ways of depicting this, and rather than just making it a 'trait' of the character, foregrounds it as the central conflict of the story. Bruce's pathology isn't just this one aspect that, like, potentially stands in the way of resolving 'the real problem.' It is the problem. Which is to say, Beavis commits the sin of crafting a story in which character comes first.

I am actually gonna come to CelticPredator's defense a bit. I found the theatrical version of BvS is jarring, but I think he's misdiagnosed the cause. It's because there are many disparate plot threads and the movie cuts between them without showing the obvious relations. So you have things like (and I'm doing this from memory, so please forgive inaccuracies) Clark Kent stepping out of the frame to investigate Batman, and then a cut to Lois barging into a bathroom to talk about a bullet with a general. And other than the thematic theme of "investigation" they don't seem very married to each other narrative-wise, they don't flow smoothly, the jointing is rough. This would be ok except IIRC the individual scenes are extremely short, so it's this sort of staccato rhythm of jumps between scenes with no obvious connection. So it gets that sort of dream-like quality of jumping to different places and times without really interacting with each other, which I found jarring. Now in the Ultimate/Director's Cut, the scenes are given more time to breath, and the individual threads have more elements, so the rhythm gets much more relaxed and the scenes live and become more comprehensible and the plot connections more explicit while at the same time losing that dream quality. The movie becomes much more conventional. I can see why some people wouldn't like that, but I did.
