Snyder fans fans are just as mean and belittling as his critics I don’t know where the idea they aren’t comes from. Especially in CD but I think that’s more how SA does these kind of arguments. Banning Snyder chat is probably for the best as both sides get really heated about what is functionally just dumb punch man movies

I know you're saying this as some kind of own but honestly? Yeah! You making carefully thought-out and scripted essays would be a much better use of your time than starting the 10th Snyder slap fight in this thread tbh.

On Batman movies, I genuinely cannot watch Dark Knight Rises, I disliked the first viewing and ever since I don't think I've watched it all the way through once and it's for the most dumb nerd thing or whatever, but I absolutely hate croaky idiot voice, stupid voice filtering half-mask, white guy who's shorter and less muscular than Batman version of Bane that it made, he should've been another character, because with that drastic and stupid of a redesign, he already is an entirely other character just wearing an established cool guy's name. Genuinely my favorite Batman and possibly DC villain and top tier character in Batman as a thing for me, so that movie via that just makes me kinda grit my teeth at how much I hate that entire makeover.

maybe investing so much of your personality into superhero movies might wind up having negative consequences when trying to engage with people whose egos arent intrinsically linked with whether or not they like batman. whose to say

Twincityhacker posted:I have seen this before, and I'm not sure what to think about it? The video man makes a good case, but I've also read articles debating his findings so I'm like The video description has an addendum where he says he no longer considers the video to be a complete account of footwear and gait, but I'm not curious enough to subscribe to his patreon to see the updated video. You could maybe hypothesize that people who have never worn any type of footwear have much more extensively calloused feet and are at much less risk of injury than people whose feet are kept soft by shoes? Earlier cultures definitely had hard-soled shoes, so we'd be looking at a specific time and place in considering these soft-soled leather shoes.

Roth posted:Returns rules. There's a lack of restraint to it that I appreciate from a directorial style. Agreed. The part in which Bruce and Slina are making out and accidentally touching where they injured each other in their earlier fight as Batman and Catwoman was both cool and hilarious to my 11-year-old self. That, and sending penguins with rockets to kill every firstborn like some circus-goth Old Testament punishment. It's the kind of performatic craziness that always tickles me right.

Returns has one of Elfman's finest scores as well, like his score for Batman and Edward Scissorhands made love and birthed a child.

burton understood superhero films like no one else did, but he also got to make superhero films in a way we're probably not going to see again in a long time. they're so silly and irreverent while maintaining an internal deadly seriousness that keeps the whole thing from falling apart. the tone is pretty much exactly what i miss from the genre; its impossible to find now without it being seeped in cynicism or irony. e: it turns out im a guy who cares about batman too...

Personally just really glad that JLA exists and is really good so regardless of the quality of the Snyder cut there is a Justice League property I can go back to and really enjoy if the need strikes me.

Nuns with Guns posted:Okay, so why would a lack of any easily googled articles before March 17th, 2016 mean that everyone since then has been mindlessly parroting it after reading that article? Was it not possible to have similar interpretations separate from that? Can you find any articles or anyone making that comparison about it before March 17th? Because I've tried, and I'm genuinely curious if you can find anything. If this is such an obvious observation more people would have made it before that article. Is it possible to have made that connection separate from that? Sure, anything is possible. I just don't find it particularly likely. To clarify a bit, I'm not saying they got it from that article specifically, Maybe they picked it up from some youtube channel or a forum post, but that article is absolutely where I believe it first started spreading. Whenever I ask why they think Snyder (or his work) is objectivist the response is almost always "Well he wants to adapt the fountainhead, obviously! That's it. That's the extent of the argument. He wants to adapt the fountainhead, ergo, he's an objectivist. It's also interesting to me that it's always Snyders films that are painted as objectivist, when Yardbomb posted:Ayn Rand was a poo poo person who wrote trash ideology wank and I'm content at her doom and disappearance from the world. If only she could have taken her dumbass ideology with her, many a forum derails could have been avoided Roth posted:I am also, by the way, on the side of anything that pisses off Moviebob I think this is the one thing that unifies everyone in this thread

I don’t care for Burton’s films but you defintely feel like he has a vision and trying to make the best version of that vision. Then you get Batman and robin which is the opposite

McCloud posted:If only she could have taken her dumbass ideology with her, many a forum derails could have been avoided especially because one of the best ways to defuse objectivism seems to be having someone experience it right from the source, instead of its watered-down reinterpretations from other media. rand was her own worst advocate

Tom Hardy's dumb arse accent is good for a laugh at least. It's unsuprising that it didn't age well at all though, if I remember correctly it was taking shots at Occupy Wall Street, which was doomed to date it pretty hard.

Parakeet vs. Phone posted:No, quick, maybe Disenchantment can pull us out of this. I feel it's a fine show but also a sign that Groening isn't evolving, since it's already surpassed by competitors like Final Space. it was ok. i like the concept but i didnt watch much of it. Vagabong posted:Tom Hardy's dumb arse accent is good for a laugh at least. It's unsuprising that it didn't age well at all though, if I remember correctly it was taking shots at Occupy Wall Street, which was doomed to date it pretty hard. yeah. The Dark Knight still works even if it has some weird bad messages but i prefer the hopefull message of "jokers wrong about people and society" to "idk occupy bad or easily duped poo poo" like the vaguness of the world in nolan movies usualy works and i sorta liked it in the first 2 batman movies but its loving awful and dumb in DKR. the world building doesnt work. its trying to do a sorta soft reboot but it doesnt work because its just "lol batman hosed off for 10 years or some poo poo and i guess their was a RICO type act named after dent because they lied about how he went nuts and murdered some assholes" Ghostlight posted:*rolls down my window* it's because snyder is a fascist! enjoy the next ten pages! *speeds off while the horn plays la cucaracha* i get more of a libertarian rear end in a top hat vibe from him but neither helps him make movies. i think he makes "cool looking" movies but the rest of it just sucks in my opinion. i loving hate his takes on superman and its not even the "huur he killed zod" thing. its just he doesn't understand the concept of superman and poo poo. but i am someone who hasnt liked DC live action movies in years outside shazam. i have been disliking them before zack came along, he just didnt help.

I didn't know what Steppenwolf was actually supposed to look like until recently and I'm not sure why they didn't go with his normal look.
