RBA Starblade posted:The next album, Ghosteen, is about processing and accepting that grief too Very much so. I've only spoken to Nick once about Ghosteen, but he said to me that the album is about the terrible space and emptiness that his family is experiencing, even now, years after Arthur's death. Nick's relationship with his first son, Jethro, in particular, has become particularly strained (not that it was ever that great to begin with), and he and his wife, Susie, went through a period of living separately because they were both having such a terrible time processing their grief over Arthur. And, of course, there's Arthur's twin, Earl, who I imagine is still experiencing unimaginable pain (Nick's kids are 100 percent off-limits in interviews, and even when he and I have friendly chats, I never bring up his children or Susie). I imagine Snyder is very drawn to both Skeleton Tree and Ghosteen, given the shared experience he has with Cave.

I should really start charging David Lynch rent because this clip lives in my memory rent-free. I think about this clip at least a few times a week.

Quick q: after Steppenwolf takes the final box, Victor is looking at where his dad was, he says "this wasn't your..." and then trails off, and then realises that his dad marked the box. Anyone know how that sentence was going to end? It has the vibe of referring back to something earlier in the movie but I don't know what specifically

I guess the Death Equation didn't have quite the same ring. this is preposterous, the fundamental quality of all life is 'procreation', and almost all life happens completely without guide.

I’m trying to catch up on the thread so forgive me if these have already been mentioned but I couldn’t get past some things with this: Wonder Woman jumping down to some hidden alcove that shows all this fight from the past. Where the gently caress did she jump to? O hey master Darkseid, I found the location of the anti-life equation. It’s here on Earth. Excellent, now use the mother boxes to destroy the planet for me. And am I supposed to believe the destruction of Earth somehow would spare Steppenwolf? Like wtf?! I guess it was better because it clarified some origins and people’s motivations, but it still felt patchy. 4 hours did go by pretty quick though.

Excellent, now use the mother boxes to destroy the planet for me. what gave you any reason to believe that desaad and darkseid cared about Steppenwolf at all? the tragic element of his character is that his loyalty to their cause is far greater to their consideration for him. 'the thing about loyalty to a cause is that the cause will always betray you.'

Everyone was just being generic a dick to poor Stephy, but Darkseid will literally do anything for the anti life equation so he'd show up to earth with Stephy if it's there. Remember him just making friends with Lex Luthor and getting himself stuck in the source wall with him just to get it at the end of JLU?

latinotwink1997 posted:I’m trying to catch up on the thread so forgive me if these have already been mentioned but I couldn’t get past some things with this: 1. It was some ancient Amazonian ruin that showed the Amazon's retelling of the first time Darkseid came to Earth. Diana was led there by her mother's magic arrow. 2. The Mother Boxes don't just destroy. They can terraform, reconfigure, and recreate. At one point when the heroes discuss using the boxes to resurrect Superman they say the power of the boxes could, for example, turn the smoke and ash of a burnt down house back into a normal house. So presumably, they could return Earth back to its ancient form, when the Anti-Life Equation was written on its surface. 3. Again, the Mother Boxes don't just destroy indiscriminately.

Maybe that portal was for Stephen Wolf to escape thru, unless it was for DarkSeid to watch him die up close after he succeeded, which would be pretty funny

The Unity is meant to convert the Earth's ecosystem into being like that of Apokolips. That wouldn't be a problem for Steppenwolf, who's already from Apokolips, and, indeed, already used the first two Mother Boxes to create a small Apokolips-like environment in his base.

Hmm, come to think of it, why didn't the Atlanteans or Amazonians do something about the Kryptonians who were trying colonize their planet? Why must Superman alone be the one to break General Zod's neck? Makes you think...

Yeah, connecting this really made the proposed JL trilogy ideas land for me. Of course he'd be connected to Clark being adopted (it's probably why the Pa Kent scenes in MoS and BvS are some of the best parts) and of course he'd want to end it like that.

The snydercut is a strange movie but there is nothing like it, so it is still a success and is going to have a very interesting legacy in movie history. I think Snyder should do a musical one day - his too-earnest style is, in the end, unfit for action blockbusters (or "action" because for Marvel action scenes are an afterthought), but would be at home where being dumb and honest and over-the-top is the norm. Sucker Punch is almost a jukebox musical but it is held back by trying to be an epic thirsty gamer film first and foremost (also ugly as sin). Pirate Jet posted:The people who watch this movie without liking Zack Snyder are whatever, what strikes me as odd is how he’s managing to catch the flack for the flaws of comic books. Like “ugh there’s an EVIL MATH EQUATION!? And their planet is named APOCALYPSE!?” like, did you expect him to “fix” comic books for you? They are the reason that like 3/4 of comic book movies are hopelessly embarrassed of their roots. You might've thought that kind of talk would die off after a movie about a purple man with INFINITE GAUNTLET (a magic glove with infinite powers) made all the money in the world but nah. But truth be told, Kirby was mocked during the original run of New Gods as a washed artist and it took until late 80s for Fourth World and his other 70s stuff to be properly celebrated.

Adaptations being embarassed of their source material end up far more cringeworthy, since they can never find remotely worthwhile substitutes for what they cut.
