I mean, 3 years isn't that bad of a timeframe. 2019 is going to be utterly ridiculous though if all of those stay in: Captain Marvel - March 8, 2019 Shazam - April 5, 2019 Avengers: Infinity War - Part 2 - May 3, 2019 Justice League Part Two - June 14, 2019 Inhumans - July 12, 2019 e: I bet if Suicide Squad goes well you'll see a sequel in August of this year too. computer parts fucked around with this message at 18:10 on Mar 1, 2016 |

Dark_Tzitzimine posted:The film is laced with dream sequences for both Batman and Superman that hint at dangers to come – including the possible appearance of DC’s galactic ultra-villain Darkseid. The Flash (played by Miller) appears in one such nightmare of Bruce Wayne’s, delivering a cryptic message to the Dark Knight. Huh, I guess that's one way to do the cameos.

Skwirl posted:Obviously making Lucifer a police procedural was a misstep, but I'm also puzzled at making him super British, and I don't mean the actor portraying him having a British accent, he clarifies with someone who said "pants" that he meant trousers. He's supposed to have been in LA for 5 years when the show starts, I know several UK expats and they are never confused when I say "pants." Maybe God is just British.

Relative to Manhattan, it's pretty small (and would be a small area). Though I guess that's just commending the Avengers on containing the damage. And really, in fairness Ultron was much more on the nose about the "no civilians were harmed during the making of this awesome fight" stuff.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:There was a scene in a bank or something where some Chitauri were threatening a bunch of people and Cap leaps in and takes a shot to the gut to protect them, or something like that. They also did some justification like "keep the bad guys within this radius" even though that was functionally impossible with only two flying dudes.

That's a strange reading because everyone else is specifically focused around seeing disasters and preventing people from dying. Everything from the Hulkbuster fight to the evacuation of the Russian town, even the random bots at the beginning.

I think in an era where super powers really are murdering people without any second thoughts (spoiler: this is every era ever) it is pretty important to see why a guy would specifically avoid trying to kill anyone.

My Lovely Horse posted:The Watchmen film ending completely ignores the point that Ozymandias' whole deal is following in Alexander the Great's footsteps. The squid is the sword that strikes through the Gordian Knot that is Earth's politics. The solution has to be outrageous, unorthodox and to a degree unbelievable - if you're reading Watchmen for the first time, it comes completely out of nowhere, but that's the way it has to be to work. Using Doc Manhattan, who is wholly engrained in Earth's politics and even the reason they're in the state they're in, as a solution is like trying to solve the Gordian Knot by tugging juuust the right thread, and it's the one that's looped through all the other ones and itself the most. It's a flagrant misunderstanding of one of the book's central themes, one of its major characters, and the point of the historical legend. That kind of only works once though, and Ghostbusters already did it.

Man of Steel was very polarizing but it's interesting to see if people will actually come back to see BvS since the latter is directly addressing some complaints of MoS.

ImpAtom posted:Yeah but like... they intended it to be, it just failed and so they're pretending it didn't happen. When people are bringing up the Nolan trilogy it feels weird for everyone to forget that DC had another film it was just something everyone is pretending didn't happen. It's also because no one saw it, and there's very little indication that any subsequent films are going to be anything like it. (Zach Snyder is basically determining the whole tone of this universe)
