teagone posted:Just want to note that I think your screencaps are taken from an HDR source in a player/display that doesn't support HDR, which makes the image more desaturated than it really is. I took caps from my HDR copy using MPV on a display that's HDR capable: Hmm, I know VLC exports HDR screencaps badly so I was taking screenshots of the play window instead, but in general it still looks murky compared to yours. Weird/annoying, guess I should have listened to YOSPOS about using VLC. Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:Ezra looks photoshopped into that picture. It's a huge movie and there's lots of effects shots, so even with the time they spent putting it together there are some shots that haven't had quite as much compositing effort as you might hope. It's been sensibly prioritised though, like this blink-and-you'll-miss-it top-down shot of Steppy that's a bit naff:

bushisms.txt posted:🙏🏽 Great eye Funny how I only just caught that now, almost 2 years later lmao. Another thing I like that I probably have mentioned elsewhere is that Snyder has several shots focused on Barry's hands during several action beats while in the speed force, which are very clear references to The Creation of Adam. Goes with the "gods" theme prevalent in the film again. Those are more obvious readings though.

^^^Edit, haha, you posted that as I was grabbing shots to show it. teagone posted:Effect of the speed force. It looks so good in motion. Legit my favorite scene in the film. Upon rewatching it, my brain just now put it together that Iris is the one shot from a low angle as she's thrown from her car, appearing like a goddess to Barry in most frames Flash touching the sword to give to Wonder Woman is close to a mirrored Creation of Adam with Wonder Woman in the God spot on the right as opposed to left and Flash in the Adam spot, vice versa.

Everyone talks about this scene but my favourite visual gag in Man of steel is the cut to an “Emergency” sign flashing repeatedly after Zods ship arrives only for it to zoom out and reveal its a printer at the Daily Planet that’s run out of ink.

This is one of the single most baffling shots in a big budget movie in recent memory. I have no idea who could have looked at this and thought it looked even passable:

It's like you're framing for a news reporter or something. I just dont understand it at all. It's not a brief shot, it's an ectual extended one.

Gunn confirms Cavill is out and they have finalized the new slate of D.C. movies. Gunn will write the new Superman movie, but won't direct. No director attached yet. https://twitter.com/JamesGunn/status/1603205520252289024

I'm honestly glad. Sad for Henry though, but it's for the best. ZSJL being the capstone film to Henry's run is very fitting with how insanely cathartic and good it was. There was justice for Snyder and everyone involved, and for us fans. But drat, the DCEU's tumultueous film ventures that were run straight into the ground by smooth-brained executives is some of the funniest poo poo and in the wake of all the Snyderverse drama to have the DCEU be completely taken over by a director whose recent DC universe film was a mediocre flop really is what WB/DC deserve. This some real-life comedy poo poo. teagone fucked around with this message at 03:21 on Dec 15, 2022 |

So apparently the younger version of Superman that they're going to do isn't him as a kid, it's him starting out as a fresh-faced reporter before he's established himself as Superman.

I don't understand why they can't have all their stuff on the same page for more than like a month. Why have Cavill announce he's back at the end of October if you're just gonna announce he's not coming back in December?

They're gonna do some sort of Smallville type deal prolly, in similar vein to Spider-Man Homecoming, and have it share a similar tone to Donner Superman.

They turned everything over to Gunn and he is deciding to rebuild from the ground up. I'm sad to see Cavill go, but honestly it makes sense. They either had to do a clean slate reboot or just try to continue the existing universe. A partial reboot and recasting half the people would just have been really messy and bind them to previous source material and they didn't want to just try to continue the existing strategy.

Cavill apparently never actually signed a contract for any appearances beyond the Black Adam credits scene (and reportedly a brief cameo in The Flash that was shot around the same time), so to some extent, the abortive "I am back as Superman" announcement was just a self-inflicted PR blunder on WB's part. as I said a week or so ago, though, when this was first reported as a possibility, this does seem on the face of it like yet another overcorrection in the DC cycle of overcorrection that WB has been in for close to a decade now. maybe Gunn will prove me wrong, we'll see Guy A. Person posted:yeah i just don't get it overall, why the hell bring Cavill back for the cameo and get people's hopes up, this is all just the most baffling series of decisions they could make lol because The Rock has (had?) a lot of clout and was heavily lobbying for the Black Adam cameo and De Luca and Abdy, the WB execs in question, apparently thought it was a good idea to give Johnson everything he wanted for his own movie's PR cycle Barry Convex fucked around with this message at 03:41 on Dec 15, 2022 |

Theres no way in hell James Gunn is heading DC without putting his stamp on everything, just like he did with every Marvel character he touched. None were faithful to the comics, only had the name and look. Hes going to to do the same thing with every DC IP, no doubt in my mind. Dude's ego is insanely big. Putting him in charge of the whole thing might be the biggest mistake WB has done at this point and thats saying alot. His wife, brother and his gang of background actor friends must be happy though, guaranteed work for the next 10 years.

I'm sure WB execs loathed the idea of having that after credits scene included.
