Btw, here's the YouTube link of the new Suicide Squad trailer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kvDLkOiXQg And yes, I know that I say, "gently caress WB" while posting their promo material. I wish I knew how to be better. But I still really want to see this movie. thrawn527 fucked around with this message at 22:37 on Apr 1, 2021 |

Timeless Appeal posted:I mean it is worth noting that Whedon cut really eliminates a lot of the big deal New Gods stuff, limiting it to a pretty minor character and parademons. I kind of wonder if New Gods was doing its own thing with the characters with the fresh slate and the SnyderCut complicates that? If Patty Jenkins is right, Duvernay and King's script probably acts as a prequel/sequel to the Snyder Cut, and WB just announced that they're not continuing the Snyder universe.

Piell posted:I know nothing about what was happening with these movies, why is this a slap in the face? One of the bigger issues with WB’s handling of Justice League is that - with Whedon’s collaboration - they deliberately cut out all the black, Asian, and female characters, or significantly reduced their roles. They’ve now cancelled a Snyder Cut prequel directed by a black woman, and a horror-themed Aquaman story directed by an Asian dude.

I just mean that she seemed really excited to be making the movie, there was every reason for WB to continue with the New Gods. And that getting a female, minority producer/director in charge, and a fantastic one at that, just to pull the rug out from under her, seems like a really lovely move. And a dumb one, at that.

Everyone posted:Need? No. Want? Sure. Plenty of people are fine with being bigoted fucks, but they don't want to think of themselves (or have others think of them) as being bigoted fucks. Hypocrisy is still very much a thing. That you've cited a scene from a film depicting a powerful black man laughing at other people being "hosed", in service of the 'White Cis Male Privilege' narrative is telling. The problem is that the difference between zeroing-in on the situation 'created' by Smollett, and making fun of Crenshaw's disabilty is ideology. There will always be acts done by black/gay people that are problematic, as they are obviously people, and consist of more than these particular labels. Yes, their acts would produce readily available excuses for abusers to double down on what they're already doing, but if there weren't 'bad actors' at play in reality, abusers would simply conjure them up in their imagination. At the same time, the hyper-focus on Smollett's actions posits that there should be a world where black/gay people don't commit any problematic actions in a problematic world, and that this would, somehow, substantially improve their lot.

I'm just gonna say that much of the black delegation was super annoyed with Smollett the whole time because we saw he'd diminish the message. My social media all basically were like "Nooooooo, what are you doing" from the start. There were a few true believers but most were smelling something fishy.

Piell posted:I know nothing about what was happening with these movies, why is this a slap in the face? SMg put it extremely succinctly and bitingly, but the narrative that they are pushing through THR is just...bizarre. So the idea is that this was presumably greenlit after Josstice League (it was announced in 2018) which itself was a failure, but they were trying to salvage what they could at that point while shuffling things around. So then the #ReleaseTheSnyderCut movement happens and they start talking with Zack circa November 2019, leading up to an announcement in May of last year. And then of course they start throwing around terms like "creative cul-de-sac" to describe how ZSJL is definitely a one-off (and we know they are ditching Ray, doing different poo poo with Batman, etc) so now the idea is that 2 weeks after the release of ZSJL they all of a suddenly realize "oh poo poo we can't do Darkseid again so soon", which like, if ZSJL is at all successful it should give more cachet to these characters, and if not, who cares, you get a do-over. The decision itself is idiotic but they are trying to blame it on a movie that 1) they themselves scrapped and reconfigured, 2) they then made the decision to release it probably in the middle of 2019 (cause there was no way in hell the call to Snyder was on a whim, there had probably been months of discussions the way WB operates), 3) they then assured everyone was a one-off oddity that wouldn't change and of their future plans. It's petty bullshit, they're punishing POC and trying to blame it on ZSJL as some pathetic misdirect after being dragged in the news for the first quarter of this year.

YOLOsubmarine posted:The Snyder Universe has been dead for years, so I don’t know why that would affect this prospective movie at all. Because they announced it years ago. The Snyder Cut had many major story beats as the theatrical cut (except for a few like Silas Stone's fate*) so if other DC directors make some general reference to JL and have it in their headcanon that it's part of the Snyder continuity, WB probably won't notice or care. But New Gods would likely have to acknowledge major story elements that conflict with the theatrical JL like Uxas was the one invading Earth instead of Steppenwolf, and make references to things cut from the movie entirely. *Likely another reason we won't get a Cyborg movie any time soon. The only glimmer of hope I can see from this is since New Gods was likely going to tie in to Snyder's future JL plan that they abandoned, it's possible WB is trying to figure out what to do and continuing development on New Gods means they would have to actually treat the Snyder Cut as the official JL movie. Which is possible since the Snyder Cut has far more favorable response from both critics and audiences and it's one of the most streamed movies in the last few months (for the record WB also greenlit another Patty Jenkins WW movie despite critics and viewers being very mild about it because it did very well both in theaters and on HBO Max). It's complicated by WB releasing the Snyder Cut after they had their big investor meeting (which meant the movie's success did not factor into whatever future plans they announced then) and they are rumored to be in a bidding war with Netflix for Snyder (and Netflix is known for handing creators ungodly amounts of money while having minimal influence on what they do with it, like they did with Scorsese and The Irishman).

Even under Hamada where DC directors don't get as much meddling with their movies, Patty Jenkins and Cathy Yan still experience some form of interference. Now Duvernay's movie gets cancelled outright.

I'm absolutely behind "gently caress DC/Warner and their racist asses" sentiment, but let's not heap accolades on MCU/Disney for doing less than the bare minimum here. Their big tentpole black superhero movie had awful politics, and Boyega and Mackie both spoke out about the racist behaviours of the company.

Not heaping accolades on anyone. That said, so far Falcon and the Winter Soldier seems to be doing some interesting things with the American black experience that usually wouldn't be in a super-hero flick. And I admit that right this second I'm not in a good head-space for "Screw WB" because I just finished watching Godzilla vs. Kong and FLoved it.
