Dark_Tzitzimine posted:How about some positive BvS rumours for a change? Sweet. Hopefully she's awesome and they can just dump Superman in the later movies for some Batman/WW team-up beatdowns. At the very least she probably gets a couple memorable setpieces - it didn't take much for pre-buzz to say Quicksilver stole the movie for DofP and Hulk for Avengers 1 because of a few scenes.

Snyder hopes to tackle the TRUE Captain America next: http://www.bloomberg.com/features/2016-zack-snyder-profile/ quote:One of these days, he’d like to make one about George Washington in the style of 300. He has a picture in his office of the Revolutionary War hero crossing the icy Delaware on his way to decimate the British in the Battle of Trenton. “We were talking about it,” Snyder says. “The first thing we asked was, well, how are we going to make it look? I pointed at this painting. It looks like 300. It’s not that hard.” Time to get started on the Wonder Woman prequel movie.

You'd think he'd be sympathetic to the idea of someone who did bad things while brainwashed. He forgave his big green buddy pretty quickly. He also had to murder his father's longtime business partner. It'll be a tough road to hoe if they really want Tony to come off as evenly justified compared to Steve - I kind of figured he'd be the villainous Batman to Steve's morally righteous Superman.

The JJ outdated newspaper stuff is sort of just a microcosm of the outdatedness of a lot of superhero tenets. Like after the Boston Marathon bombing, there were thousands of photos and videos from the event quickly circulated and shared (with some false positives to boot) but Joker will still be able to set elaborate traps, lace hospitals with bombs, purchase whatever dastardly materials and leak creepy videos to the press without any large-scale organized manhunt materializing, or the use of facial recognition/vocal recognition technology to identify his patterns. TDK makes a big deal out of Batman's spy machine but now the NSA is doing similar stuff daily. I don't mind it in the same vein as "no one recognizes Clark Kent as Superman" but to a pedantic person the existence of secret identities who simultaneously operate regularly in public in spectacular highly-visible fashion gets more and more silly, even before the powers and super-fighting skills and so on. Although there's probably already some book out there about Old Batman feeling salty and useless because competent cops identify, track down and arrest Joker before he even gets to go all Batman over it when they use modern investigative methods. And/or Joker is a hacker who operates from his mom's basement.

Marvel vs. DC is played. How about : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Horse_Entertainment vs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Hat_Harry_Productions I'm pretty fond of X-Men but the Hellboy movies are some of my favorites in terms of visual design. The goodwill from Mystery Men is cancelled out by the tag-team of The Mask and Sin City 2 though, and Usual Suspects outweighs Returns for me. I'd give it to BHH.

Why are you comparing Paul Rudd to some masters dropout? We all want to know if Superman's farts are more powerful than the average person, but they probably won't get to that until Man Of Steel 2 unfortunately.

Slugworth posted:This is the dumbest argument ever seen on these forums. Both studios have an awful track record on gender equality. Awful. But-but-Wonder Woman! Getting a movie after just six Superman movies and 37 Batman movies! I pre-nominate Gal Godot for Glamour's Woman of the Year 2017. I never saw Watchmen but when my friend wanted to watch it at his house it was like 4 hours long and it had a lengthy cartoon part in the middle. We vetoed it - that has to be an extended cut I assume? I thought it was just a normal-length movie before that and I didn't know it switched styles like that.

Neo Rasa posted:It's amazing to me that if everything about Man of Steel was the same but Zod was sucked into the phantom zone with the world builder/etc. other Kryptonians and Superman cracked a one liner everyone would think this was the greatest superhero flick ever made. Personally, I assumed he killed Zod in the 70s movie too, I've only seen the old ones once. I didn't think that was a thing at all, nor the lack of humor. It was the superhero excesses at the end that I didn't really like. Like, I thought this scene was fantastic:  But then during all this I just found myself wondering how long the fight was and whether we'd have more good dialogue after:   I loved the middle stretch of the movie with the message from Zod, the hunt for Superman, Smallville, etc. I just thought it ended with a disappointingly bland punchathon like Matrix 3 that left me feeling more bored and exhausted, which was a bummer after the 2/3 of the film before it. Couldn't care less about the neck snap or wanting more gags.

I realized I fundamentally could never be best friends with my college roommate after he sat in the living room while GF and I laughed at an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm, and when it was over he sneered and said "this was the stupidest show I've ever seen. I can't believe anyone would ever find this funny." then walked upstairs to put on his South Park DVDs. Disclaimer: I also laughed at several bits of Lego movie (like Morgan Freeman dying mid-sentence) and also dumb and dumber, deadpool, portlandia, broad city, pee-wee's big adventure, party down, and Dr. Strangelove. Those are other shows/movies I've seen people get into heated arguments about hilarious vs. offensively stupid.

Mr Hootington posted:I'm sorry neither of you like both funny shows and have become mortal enemies because of it. I like South Park just fine. He ended up asking me to be best man at his wedding, so apparently he doesn't put "sense of humor calibration" up there on the compatibility scale like I would. I DO think that if someone really hated Seinfeld, that we wouldn't get along well. I think it's too emblematic of the kind of things I'm comfortable laughing at or whatever. Can understand not liking Lego's humor though, it's more frenetic and zany than even other Disney/Pixar/Dreamworks comedies of the same ilk. I think Deadpool shared some of that zaniness, it just draped it with swear words and violence.

People hated Amazing Spiderman 2 and Fantastic Four, those were just expected to be reviewed badly so it was more of a given than a surprise (and F4 didn't have the same ad penetration). BvS not so much. The vitriol from the whiniest posters isn't any different than it was for MoS, or in the opposite direction for Thor 2, Avengers 2, etc. There's always a tiny group of folks who like to dance in the schadenfreude of a troubled launch for major movie/product/game/etc, especially if the excitement is high.

I think Boob Marley had the right idea. To really get the weight of authority behind your argument, you have to appeal to the swarm - Google Trends. Three pillars of the art form.  If this trend continues, Batman and Superman will soon become infinitely popular.  Data suggests Justice League 2 director chair should go to Adam Sandler.  EXTREMELY troubling trend here. Time running out to revive Seinfeld for season 10 and kickstart the brand.

It feels to me like the 'will it beat Marvel?!" is a fan thing first and foremost - WB would love to thump their chest about it, but ultimately they just want to make a solid chunk of money regularly. BvS seems poised to do that. JL will still have the cachet that 2012 Avengers had of heroes without a lengthy film history that Batman and Superman have, brought together in a big-budget film for the first time. They can't be gunshy the way reports paint them to be because you'll be rebooting your universe for decades before the first/second film smash all-time records. Especially if the WW movie is done well, JL could be a pretty major draw because Avengers becomes more familiar with each installment - DC is more unpredictable in how they'll play things, for better or worse (suicide squad humor-ifying rumors nonwithstanding).

At least the Daredevil show hasn't yet done the comic bit where the Hand ninjas are also Hydras. The movies also seemingly dropped the "AIM is Hydra's scientists" connection in Iron Man 3. There's still a lot of Hydra even in the movies though.

According to TMZ, Cage and Neil were inside a restaurant when a woman came up to Cage and asked for an autograph. Then, "Vince allegedly got behind the woman, grabbed her by the hair, and pulled her to the ground." The video shows the end of their fight, as Cage tries to restrain Neil. Vince Neil is now the subject of a criminal investigation.

As it's been discussed around here before, sounds like a Thanos-centric GotG2 or Thor 3 is unlikely:quote:The death-obsessed Thanos has been lurking in the background of the Marvel Cinematic Universe ever since his mysterious appearance at the end of the first Avengers film. However, aside from a short role atop his throne in Guardians Of The Galaxy and another post-credits appearance in Age Of Ultron we haven’t exactly learned a whole lot about him onscreen. All that will change soon, according to screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, who promise a huge entrance for Thanos In Avengers: Infinity War. "We don't get an element of surprise. Everyone knows he's coming, and yet he hasn't had terribly many scenes that have illuminated very much about him," Markus explained, adding, "You can count on a lot of scenes where we illuminate a lot about him very early." Made me wonder what's the most films a villain as appeared in as a villain (where they are not also protagonist)? Plenty of villains in 2 flicks, what about recurring villain 3+ times? Just thinking if they had IW1+2 about him and a precursor movie to have 3 with him as the main antagonist, would've needed a meatier core than the usual Marvel villains to sustain. I guess Vader counts, some guys from James Bond maybe, most of the others I can think of sideline the villain or turn him into a sort-of ally by the 3rd movie. But like, the main big bad, 3 times. Even Magneto is iffy in X2.
