J-Law saying that she, McAvoy, and Fassbender are a "package deal now."

Holy poo poo can she be any more full of herself?

I remember being a little perplexed about Simmons' casting, but that was before I saw Whiplash. I'm sure he'll probably have only a few scenes in Justice League, but I hope he's on board for the solo Batman movie as well.

I honestly missed the Robin costume scene. I don't remember that at all. I'm not the most observant guy.

My bad and I retract that criticism absolutely.

I like AGENTS most of all Marvel's offerings It moves between thematically light and heavy, goes to some very weird places, and things happen constantly.

I think Superman saying "Save my mother" would have been more powerful than "Save Martha". The whole film sets up Bats not being able to see anything other than Superman's alien nature. Having Superman, in his moment of death pleading with Batman, not to spare him, but save his mother instead, would have been just as effective, narrative wise, at snapping Bats out of her murder rage. He would see Superman, for the first time, as not someone alien, but as someone human, who has a mother that he holds above his own existence. Batman wasn't able to save his own mother, but now he could save someone else's.

But how does Superman know this again? Like what is his reasoning for using his own mothers name instead of "mom"? Who talks like that? A literal alien that probably deserves a chest spear. Or a writer trying to hamfist as hard as they can.

I'll admit he looks decent from the chest up. Full body shots make him look a bit slim. I guess he'll be alright on TV.

If you think Civil War was a mess you should probably just stop watching superhero movies. They will never, ever satisfy you. Its easily the best superhero movie since Spider-man 2.

I think its fair to judge based on genre. It would be the same if I were to ask what some good romantic comedies were. I'm not asking which movies are objectively good, I'm asking which are the best among this genre. In the thread for the genre of movie in question no less.

I know kids were just dying to see fancy dinner parties and closed room meetings between CEOs and senators. I think the most damning question anybody has asked about BvS is "Could you imagine a kid enjoying it?" The answer is a giant gently caress no, you don't even need to think about it. There are cool moments but they are spaced wayyyy too far apart. In between is a lot of adults talking and classical music playing. Like someone went down a list of "mature things adults do" and added that list to their movie so we would not accidentally mistake this for anything other than a mature adult super hero comic movie for grown ups. But that was also a list of "things that make a movie not fun" and it turns out adults want the fun part too.


Am I wrong? Do any of you have kids that enjoyed the movie, and not just 10 or so minutes of it?

I don't mind the shot too much but the scene itself is weird and ends so weird. Thor hits Cap's shield and you see him flying backwards and then they are all standing around like doofuses going like "woah we wrecked this forest guys lol....buds?" Then the scene cuts away.

People always cite the "kids smashing together action figures" but this does remind me of like kids who got in a fight and smashed their mother's lamp so they just stand there like "uh oh..." since they know they're in trouble now.

I think I've come to realize that the biggest crime of BvS is the complete lack of Michael Kelly.

Batman has three defining traits in the comics and has for decades: 1) Wear Bat stuff 2) Best martial artist in the entire world 3) No killing. So yeah it is weird when suddenly they deviate for no obvious reason. It's not like Batman killing people in BvS added anything to the movie. In fact since nobody ever mentions the fact that he's doing it just says to me that Zack Snyder never read a comic book in his life.

Are people arguing that Batman doesn't have a no kill rule, or that it shouldn't matter in a new interpretation?

Having again watched the car chase scene depicted by the above gifs, Batman executes the gently caress out of those people. And it's all pointless because he puts a tracker on their truck right before he executes them. Since he loses their trail thanks to Superman's interference, and he ended up using the tracker anyway, there's not a real reason for him to have executed those guys.

SolidSnakesBandana posted:

Also Batman hates guns because his parents were killed by a gun. Hell, Batman Beyond starts with Bruce giving up the mantle because he was placed in a position where he was forced to use a gun.
