BP has what amounts to a coup and full-on civil war with a lot of deaths. Everyone's really flippant about killing their own countrymen. Anyway, not showing how the general populace reacts or is affected by this is just bizarre. The last third of the movie took a nosedive if you ask me.

Crosspostin' http://www.syfy.com/syfywire/zack-snyder-confirms-fan-theory-about-supermans-black-suit-and-his-place-on-earth https://twitter.com/nickalbright/st...-place-on-earth quote:"I'm rewatching #ManofSteel and I'm starting to think THAT deleted scene of #JusticeLeague originally was intended to be more than just a normal Easter Egg. I think it was going to be a callback to this line and theme from MoS [spoken by Kevin Costner's Jonathan Kent]: 'All these changes that you're going through, one day ... one day you're gonna think of them as a blessing; and when that day comes, you're gonna have to make a choice... a choice of whether to stand proud in front of the human race or not.' Clark deliberately chooses to return to his blue and red suit instead of the dark black suit."

Re: little people chat Justice League spent about 5 minutes of screen time following the tribulations of a random Russian family throughout the film and it felt really forced and awkward. It also had that terrible scene right at the start where Superman chats to some kids for their blog. Also when they save Cyborg's Dad from the Parademons there was a bunch of completely random people who had also been kidnapped, etc etc.. It really felt like some WB studio exec read a bunch of tweets about how the characters seemed aloof and unapproachable in the earlier films and sent down a directive to show the heroes interacting with regular people.

Davros1 posted:Whoa, Black Panther is already the ninth highest grossest comic book movie (domestic). Old Kentucky Shark posted:It's basically guaranteed to hit number 2 at this point, with a plausible outside chance of exceeding the domestic take of Avengers to make it the number 1 domestic superhero box office of all time. At just 10 days in it's already smashing The Avengers, it's $30 million ahead of where they were on their 10th day. It'll be interesting to see how it goes from here because I have the teeniest inkling it might have some pretty good legs on it and if it makes $55 million in its 3rd weekend then it'll be on track to reaching the 3rd biggest domestic gross of all time. (Titanic is currently in 3rd place, just slightly ahead of Jurassic World.) https://www.the-numbers.com/movies/custom-comparisons-extended/Black-Panther/Avengers-The-(2011)/Jurassic-World http://www.boxofficemojo.com/alltime/domestic.htm

The ultimate irony is that Nolan’s trilogy, Batman ‘89, and Donner’s Superman has already distinguished DC as being the home of “prestige” comic book adaptions. I mean, the latter two and TDK are inarguably important films in the annals of American pop culture. If they had just allowed Snyder to do his thing without meddling, it’s very possible we would have gotten another one before he was done. Instead they abandoned their own realm of success to challenge Marvel on their own turf and got promptly dunked on because they hadn’t come with the right preparation. There’s another universe out there where Snyder was allowed to finish out his own MoS trilogy on his own terms without forcing it to end in Justice League, and as lukewarm as I am on BvS, I would have much rather seen that.

Mr. Apollo posted:Christopher Priest said in an interview that the DC execs spend a ton of time watching feedback on Twitter and they are terrified of how things will be received in the Twitter-verse. They spend all their time designing products geared towards people who may never even read the comic or see the movie and are just reacting to something someone else posted instead of focusing on good stories. Yeah I caught this in my review of Justice League. It was *incredibly* obvious that they were grovelling to Twitter. Megaman's Jockstrap posted:It's a film made by terrified executives who just want your love and adulation and (most importantly) your money. Just stop being mean to them online. Please, here's what you want. This is Your Superman, weird unsettling digital face and all.

meanwhile, in Fox-world: An X-Force movie is getting the fast track and they're adding a new character to New Mutants during the reshoots. I cannot see a way where that does not go wrong but I remain hopeful. Also they announced a Silver Surfer movie is in the works earlier today which could be pretty cool. I imagine they'll be inspired by the Slott/Allred series from the last couple years.

I was interested in New Mutants originally because it seemed like it was going in a cool direction. But pushing it back a year, extensive reshoots and adding a completely new character? I have basically no hope it will still turn out decent after all of this.

Also The Wrap is reporting Batgirl is on the backburner after Whedon's departurequote:DC Films and Warner Bros. are in no hurry to move forward with “Batgirl” now that writer-director Joss Whedon has stepped away, an individual with knowledge of the project told TheWrap. They're also reporting that Time Warner could be split and sold off into parts if the merger with AT&T fails. quote:In addition, a cloud looms over Warner Bros. because of the lawsuit by the Department of Justice against AT&T’s $85 billion bid to buy studio parent company Time Warner. https://www.thewrap.com/warner-bros-dc-batgirl-movie/

New Mutants seems to be residing in full-on panic mode. Whether that’s because the current state of it is trash, or because Fox doesn’t know how to sell an X-Men horror movie remains to be seen, but given all the nonsense involved at this point I hold much optimism for the finished product.

That is pathetic. For gently caress's sake. The idea of the DCEU as something auteur driven (or more so than the MCU) was great, but no one had the loving guts for it.
