I will agree that MoS's jokes were much better than BvS's. The 0 Days Since Last Accident gag is so simple, yet perfectly executed.

What didn't you like about Taylor-Johnson? I think his role was too insignificant for me to really judge him as a whole, but he was a fine Quicksilver.

I was rather neutral on Taylor-Johnson's performance, but he was really bogged down by how much better the character was done in DoFP a month prior.

The Flash movie in 2018 starring Grant Gustin, just watch 4 seasons of the show to catch up! That'll sit well with mass audiences.

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

I haven't seen Agents of Shield, but I can say that it doesn't with confidence because the writers and directors of Civil War outright admitted to never watching it.

What would it take for TV shows to be taken seriously? An HBO type treatment? It seems a lot of people just dismiss TV altogether as an inferior medium but I'm starting to feel like movies are becoming less and less relevant. I think the biggest issue is how many millions of dollars you need just to produce 90-120 minutes of content and get it on the screen. And then that content might just be wildly disappointing. For instance, your average romantic comedy is just not as good as your average romantic comedy series on Netflix

Well, we're talking relative to Marvel shows. TV is taken seriously these days. Mad Men and Breaking Bad started the trend of prestige television and lots of Hollywood actors are jumping at the chance to star in them. Unfortunately, I don't think any show has had that same phenomenon status that those two did.

You're right, I just didn't have HBO, so I've been distinguishing them differently because BB and MM came out at a time when streaming video(and piracy) caught on and made them more accessible to a wider audience.

Suicide-chat: anyone else think that it's hilarious that one film ago, Superheros were this new strange thing in the DCU, and suddenly there are like 10 supervillains who've been at it long enough to redeem themselves as anti-heroes?

The idea is that they've always been around in one form or another, but in secret, or covered up, or in the shadows, what have you. But Superman and the Kryptonian invasion made them come out of the woodwork. "But in time, they will join you in the sun, Kal."

Having just watched Batman and Batman Returns recently, it's amazing that as soon as he gets a half a chub for a woman, Bruce Wayne can't wait to tell her he's Batman.

Not true. In Batman Forever, he screams it at the top of his lungs at the circus to save Dick Grayson's life... oh dear.

Like let's start with the fact that DCs characters function much better when they don't exist in a shared universe (because they were never meant to before Justice League #1 came out)

Here's something I've been wondering: If Spider-Man 3 had been more popular with audiences, how long do you think they would have kept making movies with MacGuire? Would they have kept it going until Civil War came out? Would they have given us stories of thirty something Spider-Man?

How did the courtroom scene change? Didn't seem any different.

The scene itself is the same, but there's footage of Superman helping people hurt in the blast right after, and making it explicitly clear that Superman wasn't aware of the bomb because it had been lined with lead.

Not to go all tactical-realism, but you'd think lead lining would be a dead giveaway.

Maybe that's why they cut it in the original- either way, it sort of comes down to Superman's mind not really being on looking for potential threats.

He told Lois later that he wasn't even looking. He was to focused on what he was going to say, he put on metaphorical blinders.

Superman's secret identity isn't even that hard to figure out in this universe. It's an open secret in Smallville, we saw the process Lois had to figure it out in MoS, and Lex figured it out no problem. It's barely even a thing in these movies.

Yet Bat"World's Greatest Detective"Man didn't even bother looking into what this alien does in his off time. His crusade has blinded him too much.

Eh, as you point out, there's multiple different versions of Batman across all media, and even in comics multiple titles focusing on different aspects of the character. Still, you're right because in the DCU, he's only the world's greatest human detective.

Within the context of BvS, Alfred even points out that Bruce Wayne is getting more results than Batman.
