Hilarious that a Grant Morrison knockoff is getting an adaptation before basically any Grant Morrison comic.

Makes sense, only the surface weirdness on a fairly standard story.

Gerard Way's story cracks me up, like, he started out wanting to write comics, 9/11 happened and he decided "Life is too short" so he put on skinny jeans and wrote songs about vampires instead.

Well,

1. Movies aren't puzzles meant to be "solved"
2. Lex Luthor never shuts up about his motivations.

I do however enjoy the bizarre implication that Lynch makes incomplete movies so that no one can ever know what they mean.

Lex is also a great villain because he plays everyone like a fiddle in BvS and manages to kill Superman.

I honestly don't know how people can hate Lex Luthor after the Jolly Rancher scene.
Such a fantastic moment.

Though really he's great throughout.

Can't stand LXG but I've always liked that the villain is Alan Moore. Good sets too.

Haha drat, never thought about it like that. And it did have some nice designs in it, like the ridiculous sword car.
I think Dorian Gray annoyed me the most, they gave him the great line of "I'm complicated" but then totally bungle the painting and his death. Such a missed opportunity to have had someone stab the painting and have the blade come out him.

I keep wanting to revisit it, but I'm sure it's still the same dull mess I remember.

I watched it recently now that I'm totally removed from the comic or any expectations to se if I was overly harsh on it. It still sucks and is a mess of flashy design thrown together, but it wasn't near as unwatchable as I remembered it being. Just sort of a bad dumb action flick.

Yeah, I hadn't read any of the comics before seeing the film, but was still disappointed.
Pretty sure only the first volume and a half were out when the movie was made anyhow.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:

Dorian Gray was a great idea. I honestly thought they could've done a whole movie about Nemo.

His inclusion and portrayal was fine, it's just his death that annoys me. Completely misses the point of the character and robs us of a cool special effect.
Nemo's always been one of the best characters.

It's important also to remember the context of this scene.

Prior to this, we see him learn to fly, he's finally learned where he came from, and is wearing the Superman suit.
His first steps as a man.

We then go back and see him fight with his father, and lose him in a tornado.
His last moment of adolescence.

Then there's also that the entire tornado itself is just the metaphor for the fight we see.
I know it's been chided by some that it's silly to have had Cavill play a teenager, and sure.
However it was important to see him tell Costner "You're not my REAL father!" especially after a scene of him meeting Crowe.
The pain, the tearing of those words, is made manifest in the tornado. Clark can't save his dad because he can't unsay those words.

Also I really want to mention how much I love the editing and flow of Man of Steel, especially when we get to Earth.
You start out with Kal-El's ship about to hit, which then cuts to a ship hitting a wave. After saving the refinery crew Clark falls into the ocean and dreams about his mother "Focus on my voice, pretend it's an island out in the ocean"
and wakes up to the whale and its child. After making his way to land and stealing some clothes he watches a school bus drive off which becomes the bus from his childhood.
It's just a tight and beautiful little sequence of events that tells you everything you need to know about this Superman.

Also the school bus' stop sign being deployed before it flies off the bridge is a good gag. (as is dicksplash being the catalyst :v:)

That's also, again, a way better shot than it strictly needs to be. It's beautifully composed.




Also now I wanna do a movie fight between the school bus mercs in BvS and Valerian, but don't have a way to cap Valerian.

My hope is more that if the reactionary, neoliberal superhero films do well, it'll open the door for black people and women to make more stuff that both a) isn't a reactionary neoliberal superhero film and b) has the full force of the studio system behind it.

Now tell us how trickle down economics is good.

I honestly feel The Spirit is the most honest comic book movie.
And until BvS it was about the only film that captured the grandiose absurdity of comics.
