I would've preferred a 300 treatment of Sherman's March, but sure.

Only comparing the two big Cinematic Universes here.
Nolan's trilogy got wiped out with the advent of Batfleck and none of its glory counts towards the current universe.

why is this even a thing

does anyone really care about the "cinematic universe" stuff? like I get people like the movies, but they barely interact anyway, its like the weird arguments about star wars canon

Please list the things about Man of Steel that you really enjoyed, and that are your basis for rating it as a good or even great movie.
Even if it's just something nebulous like "it made me feeeeeeeel some stuff". I'll take it.

I'm really curious, but I feel the opposite, and I want to the know if there's something I missed, or overlooked, or interpreted in a wildly different way.

Its a bold faced condemnation of the sanitized violence of modern blockbusters and has quite successfully made everyone super conscious of it, considering the latest avengers film. Granted Whedon felt that repeating EVERYONES OKAY DONT WORRY was the best course of action for this, but that can hardly be blamed on MoS.

thats one

Again, you're drat right it is. And it's a successful franchise because it delivers on a slew of little things that people love and enjoy. It's not a successful franchise because it runs roughshod over what people know and love about the characters, it's successful because it gives fans of the source material a pay off without excluding general audiences. MoS did neither. You can call Marvel Studios a big evil money machine all day long, but the means of their success, the way in which they accumulate such wealth and success, has had everything to do with the quality of their content. Starbucks is everyone's favorite big-bag company to hate on because they've permeated the earth with their stores. Well, they got that way for a reason - their coffee is good.

They're successful because they took a risk with Iron Man and have been playing it safe ever since, I'm not questioning their financial success I'm questioning that they have 'creative and artistic integrity.'

Case in point, they're like ten movies in and still don't have a black and/or female lead film.

Yes, that would just be so bold. Having a black and/or female lead is ipso facto artistic and creative.

In Hollywood, it kind of is. Hollywood is racist and misogynist as gently caress. Challenging that status quo, particularly when you're a huge 'brand' like Marvel Studios is a bold statement. Look at the reactions to the new Star Wars film.

tbh I'm willing to cut DC some slack on being so tentative with making a Wonder Woman film specifically because she has a ton of symbolic value to people as a feminist icon and if you gently caress up a WW movie its not like making a bad Batman or Superman where people just shrug and wait for the next one, a bad WW film would be a loving landmine of bad press.

still no excuse for not doing other woman-led films tho

As another contrast, the verisimilitude of the Dark Knight films (which are, of course, much more absurd and humorous than gripey fans tend to recall) allowed them to function as satires. There's none of this dour "it's all fun and games until..." chastisement.

�Is it perfect? It is not,� said Whedon. �Is it me? It's so baldly, nakedly me. To do something that is as personal as this movie is � on that budget, for a studio that needs a summer tentpole � is an extraordinary privilege.�

I'm honestly curious about this too. Like I know Star Wars nerds will see Star Wars films like three times on the first week, but I always figured most people see a film once, maybe twice in theaters.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:

Jeff Goldblum gave an interview with a few details on his role in Thor 3.

http://moviepilot.com/posts/3955063...n-thor-ragnarok

Main bits:

- He expects to be on set filming for about a month. Hinting that Grandmaster has a fairly large amount of screentime for a supporting character.
- He has a partial script, but Taika Waititi is encouraging him to improvise the role.
- His role is a sort of dark comedy role to balance out the more serious Hela and Skurge.

Asked to describe the character and how he will play him, he says:

There is no way this movie can fail.
