My favorite thing is that whenever comic book s complain about movies, it usually has to do with how there's it's not canon and this would never happen and blah blah, but when Zach Snyder says he's following canon they flip out and act like it doesn't matter, it has to be done they way THEY want it.

Using their own word against them.

quote:

At this point, he’s given up using plot and story and sequels and mythology to justify it all. He’s even stopped dodging the issue of Zod. Snyder’s literally asking to see the geek card of everyone who has ever disagreed with him. He’s asking people to prove they’re real fans. “Tell me how many comics you’ve read. Well, I’ve read more, so my interpretation is more valid” is an argument that has never really worked.

I mean, I could maybe see that argument in 2013 when the only DC movies were and Man of Steel but these days we have a Wonder Woman movie being shot while Black Widow is always the Bridesmaid and the other woman centered Marvel film is still TBA.

I have never been rattled harder by anything in my life than this comment. Good god.

Took out the freshness column since that triggers people.

Exactly. All these MCU movies (save for Cap 1) are about horribly depressed people who make jokes in order to deal with the fact that everything sucks and there's no hope.

I follow her but I can't help but roll my eyes at stuff like this. I woulda loved Marvel movies when I was like 12.

Bad children's humor and ugly, jittery animation the bulk of which was built around not characters but brands? Yeah, I would be shocked if any hoi polloi didn't like it.

TetsuoTW posted:

Yeah that sounds totally fine, tastes are tastes. Soapgish's arguments sound like they're aimed at a completely different movie though. Like I think they accidentally bought the Brazilian CGI knockoff from the supermarket.

Ike Perlmutter owns Marvel Comics and was once in charge of the film division before Feige booted him off. He's notorious for being a weirdo conservative rear end in a top hat, to the point where almost no photos of him exist on the internet.

Platform shoes and camera angles, son. Like with Bane in TDKR.

Well, if Joss Whedon knew how to use camera angles, anyway.

The interesting thing to me is (very mild spoiler) There is apparently not a major outside villain in the movie. No Hydra false flag.

But, going further, what is an executive going to do when they are ultimately beholden to the shareholders, market forces, etc.? The ultimate problem is capitalism, and you're not going to fix that by spamming anybody's twitter.

Back to AccountSupervisor's point somewhat, it doesn't seem like those movies would have been magically been successes if only they had used "correct" races. I feel like I'm stating the obvious when I say that, but that seems to be the point that they are arguing.

SuperMechagodzilla posted:

It also seems unlikely that Gods Of Egypt failed because of twitter boycotts.

Those casualty numbers are really really low, even George Bush Junior did better, let alone hitler or stalin.

Someone should really revoke his name and call him inconvenience-man, he ain't bringing the apocalypse.

The MSJ posted:

Marvel did a survey and found out that an "overwhelming" number of respondents wants a Black Widow movie. I'm honestly surprised it's not happening sooner (maybe because Perlmutter was in charge?).

Michael,

As we discussed on the phone, below are just a few examples. There are more.

Thanks,

Ike

1. Electra (Marvel) – Very bad idea and the end result was very, very bad. http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=elektra.htm

2. Catwoman (WB/DC) – Catwoman was one of the most important female character within the Batmanfranchise. This film was a disaster. http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=catwoman.htm

3. Supergirl – (DC) Supergirl was one of the most important female super hero in Superman franchise. This Movie came out in 1984 and did $14 million total domestic with opening weekend of $5.5 million. Again, another disaster.

Rich loser with no friends. Make it the Black Widow/Agent Carter buddy cop movie we've all been waiting for.

TTG being a roaring success and having more money than they could possibly need to make their 10 minute shorts in the face of every fan between the ages of 17 and 35 baying for its blood is so great.

Wait so does Agents of Shield actually tie into the MCU in an actual meaningful way now or something?

Yeah, it turns out that tights are actually the least flattering garment for the kind of body that people want Batman to have. Hence every male superhero needs a muscle suit, even Christian Bale and Chris Evans.
