BiggerBoat posted:I honestly don't know. I was just envisioning ways to try in a manner that may have helped DC establish a more coherent shared universe and thinking about ways to make that work a little better. It probably wouldn't add much to MoS or WW but maybe SS and BvS. i mean my take there is that any improvements on newer stories come at the expense of the character arc of nolan's batman and that's a bummer like how iron man 3 should've absolutely been the last movie with iron man in it but instead tony's just stuck spinning his wheels making the same mistakes he'd already gotten past over and over

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:Does he ever grow up? The note it ends on is so corny that it has to be a joke. Amazing Spiderman 2 has a much better take on mourning, the ending of DKR makes Bruce look like a shithead. 'grows up' might've been a little too charitable to tkdr bruce, yeah i think i've just gotten tired of comic book movies taking on so much of the worst aspects of their source material that got me to stop reading them in the first place in the time since nolan's trilogy that i now have a further appreciation that nolan's batman actually gets to have a drat ending

bad day posted:But the plot of Suicide Squad IS incoherent. Waller puts together a team of bad guys to stop Superman level threats. Except all of them are jailed individually and never meet. They’re just in some sort of file. The only one with any real superpowers goes nuclear and Waller is trapped so she puts together the team to come rescue her from the other team member. That’s not even a story. She put together a super team to stop the problem caused by putting together a super team. It’s like some recursive algebra problem. a government official sending a bunch of minority prisoners(and captain boomerang) to solve a problem that she herself caused in the first place is absolutely a story that makes sense, though the execution of the story wasn't so hot but you're pointing out that the events of the movie are caused by waller's hubris and hypocrisy like it undermines the movie's narrative when really all it does is undermine her narrative

BiggerBoat posted:Superman 1 did it much better. If they wanted to do a "Should Clark out himself to save his dad" scene, they could have used the heart attack or even a car accident and make it so an ambulance couldn't arrive in time or some poo poo. Plus the execution was ridiculous. but it's not just 'should clark out himself to save his dad', it's also specifically a scene where johnathon's actions speak more clearly to clark than his previous uncertainties about other people's safety and lives being more or less important than clark's own

Al Borland Corp. posted:The cartoon version is not developed at all. The original teen Titans show has serial storytelling to an extent but no real character development. The current show is one off ten minute extended gags with about as much development as any given newspaper comic strip. he had some stuff in the original cartoon, the standard saved by robot science 'i never asked for this' kind of stuff there was also a cool episode where some 'good guy' heroic alien kept being low-key racist towards starfire because she was a tamaranian and cyborg's the only other titan who notices and kinda pulls her aside to have a heart to heart with her about it

SuperMechagodzilla posted:It’s interesting that spider-fans seem to genuinely hate the Uncle Ben character. uncle ben being replaced by uncle tony is the biggest reason i'm still skipping homecoming like, 'replacing blue-collar good values uncle ben with trust-fund arms dealer uncle pennybags' sounds like something you'd make up to make fun of ditko or some other libertarian jack-off in the comics industry but no, marvel studios poured millions going all in on that

Detective No. 27 posted:DC kinda shot themselves in the foot with those DKR and Year One adaptations and now they're having trouble selling the graphics novels because people just watch the movies instead. Who knew being too accurate to the source material could have such adverse effects? did they really though? either way dc's getting money out of you like, they're probably having trouble selling the graphic novels because they're graphic novels

Snowglobe of Doom posted:I'm pretty sure that the angle they were trying to convey is that it's a revolution in superhero movies. so it's revolutionary in the same way that wonder woman was by which i mean 'not at all' unless you throw up so many qualifiers that the statement is mostly just patting superhero studios on the head for very slowly catching up to diversity trends that other action movies have been way ahead on the past few years

Gold Jaguar is a traditionalist who wants to overthrow the new leader and keep things exactly how they are.

coco and black panther are both disney-backed kid's movies with a largely PoC cast but strangely only one is getting propped up as this big revolution again, it's just wonder woman redux: there are plenty of female-led movies out there and an increasing number of female-led action movies but PR and nerd solipsism dictates that no this is the movie that is bursting open doors and changing everything and then it actually comes out and it's a tepid yawn of a film
