Someone said "otherwordly," which I interpreted as "alien," guess it wasn't the best choice.

It was in the opening paragraph on wikipedia when I looked up what Excalibur was, it seemed too good to be a coincidence. I watch and enjoy The Orville, I am aware of the need to take salt with critics.

Excalibur's a pretty wild flick. Tonally, it's all over the place, visually it's really quite nice and the acting is incredibly uneven. It can never quite seem to make up it's mind what its trying to be, it drags in spots and leaves you with a weird feeling when it's over when it's over.

So, yeah, apparently Snyder DID borrow heavily from it for BvS.

Star Trek Nemesis also lifts from the ending of Excalibur and does it in such a hilariously bad way.

It would have been far more effective and tactical if Batman had instead lubed himself up in grease to prevent superman from detaining him. He could wear those superengineered football gloves that effortlessly grab balls to hold the spear.

Honest question, what was confusing about the plot of BvS? What questions do you still have? I agree that the editing was all over the place, it's clear they were trying to fit two movies into one. But I was never lost during the several storylines we were progressing through. It was basically Batman story scenes, then Superman story scenes, then Batman story scenes, then Superman story scenes, until they combine into the same story.
This 1000x over. I'd never say it was a good film but lmao if you didn't follow this simple dumb superhero movie plot even with the dream like editing. Like, I watched the theatrical cut and don't know much about comics, what's your excuse? I didn't really need additional scenes fleshing out what was going on with Africa or w/e to grasp the basic direction of the plot and character motivations
It's revealing that the most strident critics itt are dudes who genuinely got lost watching this dumb movie or say things like "why was batman wearing armor??"

It is, and is easily one of the best fantasy movies ever made, and likely the greatest Arthurian movie.

The general objection people have is that it's formally a faithful adaptation of Arthurian romance, and thus does not conform to modern expectations such as having a three-act structure or realistic, three-dimensional characters.

He used the Charm of Making to disguise Uther as the Duke of Cornwall and then magically transported him across the water, same thing really.


Edit: also Patrick Stewart plays one of the knights so it's pretty darned Star Trekky

didn't even know there was a trailer for Grant Morrison's Happy! out yet, but it looks promising. SyFy actually making good TV shows now wtf? It's from half of the Crank team, which seems like an appropriate pick, I like Meloni and Patton Oswalt as well. Comes out in a couple days.
Between that and the potential Lazarus, Deadly Class, and Snowpiercer shows, it could be a golden age for non-stupidass-superhero-poo poo-cuz-superhero-comics-suck-dude. Adapt more Image! Less Kirkman though, plz.

whoops I guess these aren't movies but I don't think TVIV has a comic book tV megathread does it? It kinda should at this point. Apparently the Runaways TV show is happening, and is okay to good? As leery as I am of anyt of the garbage DC and Marvel does, I did like Runaways.....

Yeah, Happy! is a Grant Morrison thing. I enjoyed it, kinda just like WHAT IF MAX PAYNE STARTED SEEING A CUTE STUFFED ANIMAL IMAGINARY FRIEND THING.
oh yeah I forgot, FX is also doing Y the Last Man, which I was never really half as high on as so many people that list it as like, one of the MUST READ VERTICO/IMAGE COMICs.... honestly I'm not sure I even thought it was good. but hey, it could be solid I guess, Legion was excellent.
considering that all the Marc Millar adaptations in movies/TV have been his lamest edgiest most tryhard bullshit comics, I'd really like someone to do the only one I ever found tolerable....Huck

I had heard Happy is really Grant Morrison's take on Garth Ennis/Mark Millar style edgy toughguy action, as an extended sarcastic joke knowing it was the most likely thing he'd ever written to be adapted; true?

I like that scene but mostly because Christopher Meloni aka Angry Cop Dad owns. He's the modern David Boreanaz, in that he has that dumb puppy charisma that emanates from their powerful foreheads.

Apparently a large part of the movie is a heist to get/recover the separate Infinity Stones, one of which is in the hands of the Collector. The GotG interact with this theft in some manner.

It's being reported as the basis of the movie in a lot of places, and there's incomplete leaked footage of someone in a mocap suit standing on Benicio del Toro's chest in the middle of a smashed collection while Drax gets ready to get revenge on a CGI character.

Me, I'm just hoping Adam Warlock shows up.

I'm leary of the "heist movie" sort of hype Marvel has done for some of its movies. I'm not suggesting there won't be some footage of Thanos acquiring gems.
