The Jump Street MIB crossover goes further than any of us could have imagined. Ice Cube plays JJJ/Zed/Nick Fury as roles just slide together and universes lose cohesion under unimaginable marketing pressure.

Terrible Horse posted:The "Bruce Wayne is the real mask" thing also doesn't jive with the fact that Clark refers to him as Bruce. Clark is supposed to be his closest friend, not another rube fooled by the costume. Same with Dick, Alfred, etc. When they get real with him they call him Bruce. "Good evening, Master Batman. Shall I warm up the Batmobile, or will sir be requiring his Bruce Wayne costume tonight?" "I just wanted to say, we couldn't have stopped Brainiac's laser beam without you. Thanks, Bruce." "The name's Batman." "Uhh, thanks... Batman." "You're welcome, Superman. *smoke grenade*" I really like this angle on the character, but I don't think I've ever actually seen it.

I still can't get over Uncle Ben in ASM getting himself aggressively killed by the friendliest shoplifter in history. A random guy falls over in front of him and drops his gun (which he didn't even pull out in the shop - he just happens to own a gun), and Ol' Ben's first instinct is to jump on the mother fucker like it's Purge Night.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:He's an aristocrat. Make it a kind of fish-out-of-water police procedural, then. Weirder people have been cops on successful TV shows. Actually, make it a classic buddy cop movie! Sgt. Bullock doesn't want a new partner, and certainly not pampered millionaire's son Bruce Wayne! His scores from the Academy are the highest ever, but everyone knows he bribed his way through. No, no! "Gotham Police Academy"! Aspiring policeman Bruce Wayne studies hard and plays hard, but when all of the cops in Gotham become trapped in the sewers somehow, it's time for the rookies in Gotham Police Academy to graduate fast!

Snowglobe of Doom posted:Now try and picture BvS but made in the year 2000 and starring Nic Cage and George Clooney. This is loving mind-boggling, but I think it could work. Clooney playing it intense, quiet, against his usual "type": "Do you bleed?" and Cage looking stern, melancholy, which he has down pat anyway. Who's doing Lex at this point?

I like MoS and vehemently disagree with the whole "Clark did 911" thing, but I do like the take that Zod fight is an endorsement of a "necessary collateral damage" mentality. Superman could limit the immediate damage to Metropolis by simply letting Zod kill him, but the movie presents a scenario in which this is impossible. Sort of like the setup in Pacific Rim where fascism is unambiguously the best defence against the obliteration of humanity. We just have to have a big, smashy fight to save the world. The fact that Superman takes down a literal drone (the modern embodiment of collateral damage) later on adds another layer of irony to this.

So, in a nutshell, is the movie saying "Superman is excused from from the damage his struggle causes, because his struggle is just" or is it satirizing this same thing by using heavily loaded imagery of violence? Is it brave for showing the consequences of a justified violent struggle, or cowardly for shying away from a nonviolent alternative? I feel like that's the dichotomy we're struggling with here. OR: Boogeyman is trolling, in which case curses, tricked into having an opinion again.

Punkin Spunkin posted:(which every goon is apparently convinced was definitely some Robocop/Starship Troopers poo poo, because, well, of course they are. only way "woke" whitie can justify still enjoying that fascist garbage) As funny as this is, it's another one of those weird "supposed to" takes. Matt even literally says "... you're supposed to be disgusted". Snyder is trying really hard to sell fascism but fucks it up by showing the Spartans killing infants and the Persians having dope catgirl rave parties. Whoops! Like, Occam's razor that poo poo, maybe Snyder didn't intend the exact opposite of what you're seeing. Hell, even if he did who gives a poo poo? If 300 is making Will go "Again, how do you not root for the Persians when you watch this movie?" is that not a good argument that it's not glorifying the fascist Spartans?

If only Cavill had grown that moustache earlier he could have "spontaneously" sprouted it in that scene and it would have had the same effect. "Save... Moustache!"

It does help him when Superman gets sick of his poo poo and busts him through a building. He probably knows supes won't go all out on him, but it gives him the stamina to jerk supes around long enough that the point blank krypto grenade trick will work. Without it, Superman could have taken him down non-lethally a lot more easily, but now he's forced play into batman's dumb wrestling match. I won't argue that it wouldn't have been cool for batman to ditch it the second he landed that first grenade like Zod ditching his armor. Although I guess the contrast is cool too! Batman isn't committing to a pure ideal like Zod did, he's still caught up in this bullshit tactical mindset which is crumbling around him even as he thinks he's winning.

NTRabbit posted:The armour made way more sense after the movie when I saw this, where it lets him go toe to toe with almost-healthy Superman for just long enough to let Oliver Queen shoot him with the kryptonite arrow. There were lots of ways to make an homage to this scene that left out the cheesier stuff like Green Arrow, but Snyder seems to have just lifted the imagery and completely ignored and abandoned the context that made it be cool and make sense in the original story. It's probably the best example of how all of the story in BvS is completely disjointed and nonsensical. e: Or whomever was responsible, maybe it was the writers who botched it and not Snyder, but it was still bad. It definitely doesn't let him punch Superman around like it does in DKR, but it fulfils exactly the same purpose: Dragging the fight out for long enough that Superman lets his guard down and takes a kryptonite blast to the face. Even in DKR it's clear that Superman could paste Batman at any point, but can't safely incapacitate him because of the power armor and has to try and grapple him.

NTRabbit posted:If it was meant to fulfill the exact same purpose, then it didn't succeed in getting that across Well, okay, it serves two purposes: First: Batman needs to go a couple rounds with Superman so he can get in the Kryptonite before Superman pastes him. Second: he needs to be able to gently caress Superman up after the Kryptonite takes effect. I guess only the first one really applies to DKR, so "exact same purpose" may be overstating things.

NTRabbit posted:Except the suit didn't let him go a couple rounds with Superman in the movie, it literally achieved nothing. If he hadn't worn the suit, Superman wouldn't have punched him around like he did. He would have simply picked him up or something. By wearing his mech suit, Batman tricked him into a entering a pissing match he was certain he'd win. Supes couldn't have given him the same kind of "stop doing that" love taps if he hadn't been wearing the suit, so the fight would have been some extremely contrived poo poo without it.

BiggerBoat posted:I've seen MoS 3 or 4 times now and honestly don't get the problem people have with it (tornado scene notwithstanding). I recently re-watched parts of Donner's films too and I love those also but for different reasons. I have my fair share of complaints about them as well though and they're hardly perfect. I don't know that making an entire movie out of that status quo would have helped. I think the few scenes of saving astronauts, sailors, flood victims etc made the point pretty well. Wait no, I've changed my mind: Lois and Clark romcom. Fully traditional plot but instead of whatever bullshit implausible job romcom leads usually have he's just Superman. That relationship could stand a bit of time to breathe between initial attraction and marriage/death.
