i'm not sure if this has come up before but comic books are for children, not adults. there seems to be some confusion on that matter

i think you will find that this is very grim and serious with lots of violence so it is for adults now

I wrongly assumed it was doing poorly because of all the negative reception but lol you're right

the problem is that they arent trying to make one successful movie. they are trying to start a huge successful movie franchise. lots of people will go see this, yes. but if no one likes it (aside from the plaintive internet nerds who were already intent on liking it), then that franchise is clearly stillborn.

i guess it was time for someone to break the streak of amazing jokers. romero, nicholson, hamill, etc. there was never a single best one, what with how different all their performances were. they were all excellent in different ways.

now leto gets to make his mark as the worst portrayal of the joker, hands down. i am pretty sure that the porn parody jokers are gonna look better by comparison.

his name is james. bucky was the insult, but it doesnt really work any more so everyone assumes it is a harmless nickname. if you ever time travel back to the 40's, youd better hope that no one calls you a bucky. like goddamn, that is some harsh language.

They were mass-cloning Doomsday, a being where every time it was killed they'd add more features (think of the robot from The Incredibles) so they could wipe out all life on every planet.

They created Darkseid.

As Krypton imploded they were holding pointless military tribunals.

Krypton is literally the biggest shithole full of psychotic assholes in any comics continuity.

A scaled down version of this "utopia" would be if Dick Cheney was holding up the infamous picture of Lynndie England and saying "America invented the polio vaccine you know".

TL;DR Jor-El was the Baghdad Bob of Krypton.

Cap was working with a bunch of reconstructed super villains. And by "reconstructed" I mean that literally. SHIELD had taken fragments of cosmic cubes and rebuilt their bodies and personalities into nice, lawabiding people. Mind rape, pretty much. But it's okay because they're the good guys.

But all the fragments of cosmic cubes had merged together into the form of a young girl, because of loving course they did.

This girl turned Cap from the geriatric and feeble self he's been the past year or so into a young and fully powered Captain America. She also seems pretty lacking in human morality and empathy, doing some pretty sketchy things. You know, standard 'god child does not understand her own strength or this human thing you call...love'.

So, gee, I wonder if this physical embodiment of the power to change reality itself has anything to do with Captain loving America suddenly remembering a lifetime of being a Hydra agent.


Naah.

the red skull was hanging around the human cosmic cube the whole time and he currently has the late charles xavier's brain grafted on to his own. it was incredibly obvious what happened to anyone who read the comic, but outrage junkies dont actually read comics. it wasnt (directly) mind control or an impostor; a living reality warping artifact changed his past to make him have always been a member of hydra. before that comic he wasnt a member of hydra, after that comic he was always a member of hydra.

(Almost) everyone knows it's going to be retconned (except for the insane idiots sending death threats).

My problem is making popular children's book character Captain America a nazi, in a time where a very dangerous sociopath has little kids cheering for building walls and killing brown people, is a loving horrendous idea.

Maybe, just maybe, at a time of rising white nationalism a loving Disney-owned Ubermensch shouldn't be swearing fealty to the fuhrer.

there is also a black captain america who is not a nazi

Is this really the first time Captain America has secretly been a nazi? The character is like 80 years old at this point, has gone through dozens of writers, and has died, disappeared, been brainwashed, passed on the mantle etc and come back more times than I care to look up. It's such an obvious attention-grabber storyline I can't believe some hack didn't already do it

nah, there have been panels from an old kirby issue where he was brainwashed to become a nazi and even saluted hitler going around. also, the hydra = nazi thing is mostly from the movies. they couldn't use nazis so they did a find/replace so that ww2 was fought against hydra rather than nazi germany. in comics hydra is usually a generic evil organization even though it is usually (but not always) led by one of several nazis. there are some explicitly neo-nazi evil organizations running around the marvel universe but hydra is not one of them.

what it comes down to is that captain america traditionally punches out individual nazis and their non-nazi employees.

cosmic cubes have been a thing in the mu for like 60 years now, and they arent even the only reality altering macguffin around. heck, the only reason bucky got his memory back and stopped being evil was because cap used a cosmic cube on him.

it is funny how marvel animated series and movies are always terrible. marvel comics have no intrinsic quality which make them better for movies than dc. it is all a matter of writers and directors, and for some reason wb is violently opposed to using talented creators outside of dc cartoons.

even if they managed to get a good screenplay, cast and director (which is supremely unlikely) the studio execs would still gently caress everything up.
