I'd hate to see them try and pull off all the necessary effects to adapt the various storylines on a TV budget.
Yeah but TV has come a long way and I'm sure it would look good if they got a budget from a channel like HBO. There are a lot of standalone episodic issues in the Sandman that a movie couldn't do justice.

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."
Yeah in the comics he was just David Bowie as the devil

micheal bay is actually a pretty great example of what i'm getting at; internet nerds and critics keep talking about how poo poo his transformers movies are and yet they keep getting made because movie studios aren't gonna care about that unless it starts affecting their earnings

MoS was a success in their eyes so there's no reason for them not to use it as a starting point for their movie line
yeah more nerds need to vote with their wallet and just not see the movies if they don't like the direction that they are taking. Hell I've haven't seen any DC beyond Batman Begins and never really had an interest to watch either.

This poo poo is hilarious. Marvel movies are basically the TGI Fridays/Applebees/Chili's of cinema. And there's nothing wrong with that.
I kind of want to find the reverse of that since I'm sure there is something just as dumb on the DC side as there is "smart" on the Marvel side.

Plus now it all makes sense why I like the MCU because I'm the person who actually likes going to Applebees

Someone said Danny McBride.

I don't know who Lobo is, but I would care more about that movie if Danny McBride was in it. Kinda how I feel about most things.

I care very much that there's a new Alien movie on the way. But I care even more that Danny McBride is in it.
The best version of Lobo was from the DCAU where he was voiced by that guy from Everyone Loves Raymond

“Is it perfect? It is not,” said Whedon. “Is it me? It's so baldly, nakedly me. To do something that is as personal as this movie is — on that budget, for a studio that needs a summer tentpole — is an extraordinary privilege.”

And that's part of the reason why it's bad. Such a simple story the movie ended up having shouldn't take 2.5 - 3 hours to deliver.
Yeah if you were going to make a Justice League movie, I'd just go with how Justice League started, War of the Worlds and then all 7 of these heroes decide to work together and then eventually say "Hey we did good, let's make this a permanent thing"

Maybe the twist is that we've been watching the universe where the Justice League becomes the Justice Lords and 5 movies later we get the actual good universe Justice League to kick their asses.

Next time he should directly talk poo poo about the whole country, Trump style, and I bet you he would be the most hated American instantly.

Cause I like the idealized versions of them from the cartoons and some comics because I'm literally a manbaby. Get your grimdark out of my comic book movies and give me newspaper Spiderman the movie already. Can we not evoke 9/11 and terrorism in a movie I tend to watch to escape from an inherently evil world, not use it to be like "Hmm, Superman has a point here, terrorism and government control ARE important issues." I knew when i was five years old and watching Adam West and Christopher Reeves I was like drat, I hope I can watch these two titans duke it out in a movie and it has a congressional hearing and mass death and footage invocative of videos I will see online later when the internet exists where real people get shot in the head by terrorists.

Iunno I think comics should be fun I guess. People tend to linger on fun things more than depressing reflections of reality.

EDIT: If I wanted to see a superhero torture and kill their villains I would watch the Flash on CW tyvm.
Even the idealized versions of the heroes from the cartoons had some flaws that made them compelling

Alan Moore has done some questionable things later in his life.

He's also earned that right by being one of the, if not the, best and most worthwhile comic book writer ever.

Don't let the easy jokes that can be made about him fool you. He's not Frank Millar.
Top 10 is pretty great

Moore also did this book where this superman analogue met the concept of imagination who was just the head of Jack Kirby

I prefer Neil Gaiman even though he can't really tell an ending and the artwork of later Sandman is pretty bad.

It seems like Zack Snyder is a pretty big fan of Injustice: Gods Among Us. Incidentally, Ares is a playable character in that game. I would prefer Ares to Zeus, personally, as WW's dad. Otherwise it just feels like straight up female Hercules. However, I think there's a good chance that perhaps Wonder Woman will be told that she's the daughter of Zeus only to later learn she's actually the daughter of Ares, and that's what makes her different from her sisters.
This is just reminding me that Marvel hasn't gotten on the boat of getting Herc and Ares into the MCU and that makes me sad :(
