got any sevens posted:What demos liked suicide squad that dont usually see comic movies? Oddly enough, dads. I'm assuming mostly because of Margot Robbie getting male-gazed and Deadshot's whole subplot giving them a little bit to relate to.

Lots of women went to see it. Also maybe people who like trad action movies were brought in by Ayer? idk

At a recent trip to the casino friends and i swung by a strip club at the end of the night. there was a girl working there dressed as harley quinn, accent and everything, and there was a lineup half way down the bar for the next private dance with her. This was a Saturday night so it was busy as gently caress, no shortage of other options it was so weird, I've never seen anything like it before. just straight up cosplay, and it worked so well So yeah no doubt men went to see that movie based on the 2-3 panty shots in the trailer

I watched Civil War for the third [e: fourth?] time on netflix last night because I'm a glutton for punishment and 1) they should have just made these Marvel movies cartoons and had whoever their lead animation guy was direct; the shots of The Raft coming out of the ocean are the most attractive of anything in the whole movie 2) what a loving waste of Paul Bettany, honestly. He should have played Hawkeye. Or... somebody cool, anyway; not just this lameass Star Trek robot who lounges around his Ikea kitchenette. Has anyone else here seen Priest? gently caress you that movie owns. Paul Bettany should play more ultra-assassins. 3) Why is Tony putting the traumatic loss of his family on holographic display for a big crowd of MIT-grad snots? That's creepy/offputting/weird. Like the whole thing is scripted, he's acting etc---then throughout the movie every appeal he makes seems to turn out to be fake, like, here Steve I'm making a symbolic overture here btw even before I met you I hated you lol---like they've totally given up on making Tony Stark a sympathetic character through characterization and are relying on just beating him up. Like he gets his rear end stomped in this movie, goes through the whole thing with a shiner and then finally just gets beat to all hell and symbolically stabbed in the heart. It's like they figured well, anybody who's seen these movies before knows Tony never changes so the way we'll get the audience to empathize with him is we'll literally pulverize the guy onscreen for two hours. 4) Having watched this thing more than once a lot of the jokes don't even read as jokes. The laugh beat when Stark walks past Paul Rudd and says "who are you again?" is now downright cruel Harime Nui fucked around with this message at 22:23 on Dec 7, 2017 |

yeah as much as the typical mid-twenties-to-thirties nerd crowd hates skwad's aesthetics, there's a huge pool of slightly younger people who are totally into it ('ironically' or not).

Then timeline wise we go to civil war and his character has regressed to Avengers rear end in a top hat Stark. Then in Spiderman Homecoming we have brief bits of Stark being honest with his own issues and trying to help Peter while acknowledging that he's a terrible role model. If anything, it's evidence that the MCU really captures the feeling of actual comics. God knows crossover comics have this same issue of having a character be eerily different than in their main run.

Suicide Squad had a lot of repeat business from young women, younger millennials - particularly the under-18 crowd - African-Americans, and Hispanics (41% of the opening weekend came from them, and 4 out of 5 liked it). The Joker/Harley romance and Harley in particular brought in millennial women (and really, women of all ages), Croc/Diablo/Deadshot got minorities to show up, the look of the movie attracted under-18 millennials, these people kept on going back to it, and suddenly the movie has made over $300 million domestically while the traditional "core" audience for comic book movies - 24-40 white males - showed up only on opening weekend and vanished completely after that. Basically a bunch of people who are shunted to the side of a normal comic book movie saw the advertising (because WB went deep on these demographics with ad buys), saw a woman/Hispanic/black guy on the same level as the white people in the movie if not above them, and went "oh poo poo yes". In a way, hiring Ayer ended up being the smartest move since Ayer spent the latter half of his teenage years living in South Central LA and keeps in touch with his friends from then, giving him a pretty good cross-reference of what a Hispanic or African-American audience would want out of a superhero movie.

I know it's not very good, but Age of Ultron plays a big part in why Stark got a little lovely in Civil War. It's ALL his fault that Ultron did what he did, and he's punishing himself, and others by trying to lock everyone down. I don't know, it makes sense to me. His arc.

Kinda baffled that Sophie Turner is being handed a franchise like that. I get they're losing Jennifer Lawrence, but she could phone it in in Apocalypse and still have more screen presence.

Guessing she won't be more than a secondary character even in the "Phoenix arc" movie. This is Jean Grey after all, most famous for being fought over between the most and least popular X-Mans, dying, and heel turns

In the comics, Tony Stark's role in the Avengers was mainly that of Concerned But Distant Parent. He didn't become a DEADPAN SNARKER until RDJ's portrayal.

I thought Jackman was out. Wait, IMDB lists Lawrence, McAvoy, and Fassbender. I had assumed they were done after Apocalypse. This all makes way more sense now, my bad.

If I had to guess, I'd bet they will replace Jackman with a younger actor as "the Wolverine of the new timeline" in this movie but keep it a secret like Jackman popping up in Apocalypse. Like literally in X-Men comics right now Wolverine's secret bastard son who looks exactly like Wolverine but younger is a team member as well as Crusty Old Alternate Future Wolverine so it'd fit.

Like it's pathetic, they killed off Wolverine back in 2013 and now we have Girlverine (Laura), Kidverine (Jimmy), Punkverine (that's Dakken) and GRAMPS

MacheteZombie posted:Was it Johns who ran off the early talent recruited for Flash? Lord & Miller was hired to just write the first draft, but they left before WB can get them to direct because they got a Star Wars job offer. It's understandable since there's a dozen comic book movies in production at any given time, but Star Wars movies are still a one-movie-a-year thing. Of course we know what happened eventually. After that, the Flash movie script keeps getting rewritten and at least two directors left. The reason became clear when WB announced a Flashpoint movie. Flashpoint is fairly recent event in the comics that led to the New 52 reboot, spearheaded by Geoff Johns. With him being one of the big guys at DC, not just for the comics, he keeps pushing for the story to be adapted elsewhere like an animated movie and in the CW Flash series.

Stinks we won't get a Batfleck solo movie. Especially stinks that they don't want the universe to be as dark as it is. I wanted to see this universe's A Death in the Family. It's been hinted at in both BvS and Suicide Squad. If they are going to do Flashpoint, they should just have Christian Bale as Batman after. It wouldn't make sense with the DC film universe's Joker but who cares at this point.

Guy Ritchie is the filmmaker at the top of my list of people who would be well-suited for a DC movie. I love my man Ayer, but I have to wonder how Suicide Squad might have turned out in his hands. And, yeah, King Arthur was pretty sweet, I don't care what anyone says. Too much exposition? Sure! Of course! But you know what else had too much exposition? Wonder Woman. You know what's a better shot movie than Wonder Woman, and even has a better God of War end level boss fight defeated by the power of love?
