I hope the Ogo rumors are true and they use Sly's face like they do with Thanos.
Ogo rumors? Is that like a character from the comic books? I tried googling the name and nothing came up.

Or is Ogo the source the Sly rumors are coming from.

The trailer looked better than the last one but I still can't ever get over the goofy BOTH GROUPS RUNNING AT EACH OTHER ON...AN AIRPORT TARMAC OR SOMETHING shot.
I hope the fights are a little more natural (like why would Iron Man decide to engage Captain America in a standing fistfight anyway? Hopefully there's some kind of reason there), but I guess they're simulating the "comic book style"? What if comic books suck though. Ever thought of that??? :twisted:

Weren't they specifically saving all civilians and only blowing up conveniently previously evacuated buildings in the other movies anyway? Was their level of material devastation to skyscrapers and fine cars available at your nearest dealership unacceptable?
Or will they be like, "Nah, it turns out a lot of people totally died. Isn't that GRIMDARK :unsmigghh: "

No. The only time this happens is when Iron Man flies the Hulk into the construction site, as Jarvis says that it's empty. Lots of people died in every other film, and even in Age of Ultron. When they evacuate Sokovia it's making sure that all living people are off the floating land mass, but people on and around still die.
You mean...they...can't save...everyone? :cry:

Also I thought Jarvis said something like "We bought that building and emptied it beforehand" but probably that was an absurd hallucination I got produced by watching Age of Ultron. A lot of it is a blur, to be fair.

Rumor of the Day: Why Dawn of Justice is making Warner Bros. 'nervous'
Well, apparently, test screenings for the flick aren't going quite as well as the studio hoped, and some insiders are convinced that's going to breed changes in the Warner Bros. superhero slate. Here's Drew McWeeny from HitFix talking about the issue:

"Warner is a little bit worried. This movie is starting to scare them. It's scaring them because they're showing it to people now, people are actually laying eyes on the film now, and the response has not been what I think they wanted. If I were going to lay a bet on how it may happen, Suicide Squad, they1'll go all-in on. They'll push all their chips in on that and I think Suicide Squad's going to be a hit for them. I think Wonder Woman will be finished the way they're working on it right now and they'll release it. I would be surprised if Justice League starts shooting when they say it's going to, and I would be equally surprised if Zack Snyder directed it."

REPORT: "BATMAN V SUPERMAN" RESPONSE COULD LEAD TO MAJOR SHIFTS IN DC FILMS PLANS
The internal response to high-profile DC Comics-based feature "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" isn't what Warner Bros. had been hoping for thus far.

According to a video report published Thursday from HitFix film reporter Drew McWeeny. This reaction has led McWeeny to the conclusion that if "Batman v Superman" isn't a major hit, it'll mean dramatic shifts in the DC Films master plan.

"This movie is starting to scare [Warner Bros.]," McWeeny said, citing unnamed sources. "Response has not been exactly what I think they wanted."

Anyways, I had a lot to think about during my 6 hour vacation and I reading back through all the posts I think I've finally gotten the gist of it with these two revelations:

1.) The MCU sucks and is bullshit because its fun and any idiot can enjoy it.
2.) Man of Steel is top level cinema because it just looks so cinematic, you know, like a movie, and it stimulates your intellect by forcing you to think of increasingly convoluted reasons for why you like because Dark Knight is the poo poo, gently caress you Marvel, you don't know about blowing up cities like we do, DC gets it!

Yeah but the thing is, Shoot Em Up is completely terrible.
I was going to say I should really revisit it and find out if the reason I didn't like it very much was because I'm fundamentally joyless or because it's not very good
I love the Crank movies though so I'm assuming it wasn't on my end
This is why it was a huge disappointment to learn I'd mixed up my director duos when I first heard about the Han Solo movie. Giving Aquaman to James Wan was just a half measure when you could have given him to Neveldine/Taylor. Hell I would have given creative control over the DC films to them over Snyder.

There are tons of awesome comics out there. DC, Marvel, and otherwise. Kingsmen, Kick-rear end, RED, all great. Since your argument seems to hinge on the idea that comics are bad, I am going to have to whole-heartedly disagree. However, I do believe that the people watching these movies have by-and-large never read a single comic. Hell, many writers and directors of these movies/shows seem to have never picked up a comic.
Since your argument seems to hinge on the idea that comics are good I'm going to have to whole-heartedly disagree with ever bringing up Mark Millar
like I thought you were going to be like WOW WHAT ABOUT LIKE ALAN MOORE AND TRANSMETROPOLITAN AND PERSEPOLIS AND poo poo in which case I'd be like "nah comics still kind of suck"

I thought we were talking about the comics. As for the movies they didn't exactly blow me away but no I would definitely not call them bad movies. The comics blow though, as does any of the garbage peddled by the Millars and Millers and Garth Ennises which is what I thought we were talking about.
I dunno about "CineD groupthink" but I think that's just what everyone calls an opinion they read here that they don't like. which means CineD groupthink IS CINED GROUPTHINK OH MY GOD

He shoots Bucky with two things that disorient him, and all it results in him doing is being able to control where Bucky shoots, and get a smack in. Then he's dispatched.

They've said that time passes the same in the movies as real time, so you can expect that Tony has done some hand-to-hand training since he became Iron Man. It doesn't seem like a stretch he can only manage one shot after hitting Bucky twice with things designed to disorient him.
