quote:“The main thing we learned [on Batman v Superman] is that people don’t like to see their heroes deconstructed,” said producer Deborah Snyder. “They like seeing them in all their glory… I think what’s really great is where we’re going is kind of what the audience is wanting. We just had to take the characters from somewhere to bring them up to where they are and that was our journey.” Yes because that was the problem with batman v superman. Fans just couldn't handle their superheroes' being "deconstructed"  This movie is going to be loving terrible.

ImpAtom posted:Batman v. Superman was actually the movie I wanted and I have posts in multiple threads backing that up. This is what pisses me off of some of the defenders of the film. I admit I thought the portrayalof superman and batman were terrible.But there's criticism of the movie besides it's portrayal of existing characters. Dismissing all criticism of the film as "well its not they wanted" and " I didn't get the movie" is annoying. Aphrodite posted:Technically it wasn't even the worst Spider-Man movie. I'd happily watch spider man 3 before sitting through amazing spider man 2 again.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:He also fought against providing food at the premiere and eventually had Subway sandwiches and a cash bar at the Red Carpet event. I've heard there's been a lot less conflict in the marvel studios division now that Perlmutter doesn't have the decision making power he used to have. Perlmutter being such a cheapskate was why so many of the actors were threatening to leave.

yeah one of the charms of the deadpool movie was that it was sort of low key. So many superhero flicks seem to think that they have to go bigger and bigger. I don't think deadpool as a character really needs an end of the world type of scenario.

Veotax posted:Star Trek Beyond is easily the best Star Trek film since The Undiscovered Country. Granted, that's not saying much. The only decent Star Trek films after that are First Contact and the reboot, but Beyond was great. Didn't do well though, I think. Having almost no marketing probably didn't help. It also had a trailer than Pegg himself said was total poo poo.

I'm probably taking the bait on this but whatever. They made a cap movie, two iron man movies, a hulk movie, and a thor movie before the avengers. That's five compared to 3. One of those movies was for establishing a character who won't show up in the first jla movie. Comparing years and not movies made is stupid, While they changed actors, they established nearly all of the characters, though it was off putting at first to just have norton leave. Avengers only introduced hawkeye. DC has no characterisation for the Flash, Aquaman and Cyborg. If it was just one of those characters fine, but that's more than half the cast of their movie. Why should I be excited for this movie again? As for your last point yes, the avengers thus far have been generally more likeable than Batman or Superman Monaghan fucked around with this message at 21:41 on Mar 27, 2017 |

ImpAtom posted:No movie needs establishing movies. You don't need The Origin Of Indiana Jones or whatever to like Indiana Jones. I'd argue that if your trying to create a franchise you do. Indiana Jones movie, the main character is Indiana Jones. They aren't using the movie to also make you love short round and go watch his flick. The whole premise of superhero team up flicks is watch superheroes you like interact with one another. The movie going audience has the benefit of knowing the personality and traits of the character. Now a superhero team up movie has to establish these traits of the new character while also sharing the spotlight with a bunch of other guys.

Well it was Miller's first attempt at being the primary director and his writing was already quite bad at the time, so the combination of the two things probably didn't help.

Maybe an Invincible movie could be good if they didn't have the ridiculous gore and maybe hold back on the constant need to poo poo on mark's life. There's some good characters and concepts in invincible that could work well for the big screen.

I forgot WW was coming out in a month. The marketing hasn't been great. Granted, I have strongly disliked all three of dc's recent outings, so I haven't been following it very closely. I'd be cool for a superhero flick staring a woman to be good and make a lot of money.

Rami's spider man movies are overrated. They're pretty good but nowhere near the masterpieces people make them out to be. They are far better than the ASM movies though. I think they Rami movies are so highly regarded because there was an absolute truckload of lovely comic book movies from 2000-2005, so having a good movie made people think it was better than it actually was. Edit- Simmons is the best casting in the history of comic book movies, no question.

Yeah I'm baffled why they wouldn't Have shown stuff like WW giving supes trouble do to her being a better fighter. It would have also been neat to have supes be confused fighting someone like the flash whose faster than he is. It'd also show off how bad rear end the other characters are.

I was reading some of Busiek's late nineties iron man stuff and he was cracking a decent amount of jokes and was pretty laid back guy, especially as Tony (when they were still doing the secret identity thing). I just think the marvel movies understand their characters defining characteristics and motivations better. They add some humor, but never to the detriment of the core character traits.

Lick! The! Whisk! posted:The really enraging thing about BvS is that it takes three hours over CW's barely 2 and a half, with half the cast, and still completely fucks up adequate characterization for literally everyone. I know, on an objective level, why Lex is doing what he's doing, or why Batman or Superman are doing what they're doing, but I get no sense of their motivations or actual personalities so I'm constantly at a loss as to why they're in this film. Its so shabbily constructed that nobody has any arcs, in contrast to CW,which I just rewatched, which basically gives everyone a moment of growth. gently caress, Vision has an arc! It might be barely two scenes long, but he has one and it justifies who he is, why he's fighting (he loves Wanda) and what his ultimate motivation is (he wants other people to see Wanda as he sees her). I could not tell you why Flash is in this movie outside of the literal functional reason he is in BvS. Have to agree with this. The fight between batman and superman in bvs felt so contrived. It always felt like there was a hundred different ways it could have gone differently and batman and superman wouldn't have fought each other. However, they managed to end up fighting each other because they both seem to be morons who are incapable of using simple reasoning or talking things out. CW by contrast, the fight between tony and steve feels deserved and understandable. Cap tries to reason with tony. Tony's understandably super pissed off and doesn't care that Bucky was brainwashed at the time. Cap doesn't want to see his friend getting captured or killed for poo poo that wasn't really his fault. It feels like the whole movies been leading up to this is and it is the climax of the film. BVS has to thrown in doomsday in there, which that plot of in and of itself leads to an entirely different host of problems.

In BVS ma kent tells clark that he doesn't own the world a thing. Which is maybe something you shouldn't tell the godlike alien and reinforces Singer's weirdly randian view of super heroes. Superman's weird dream thing has Pa kent telling a story of how the one time he did something heroic it caused the death of the animals in the nearby farm. gently caress the kents in the DCEU.

ImpAtom posted:Eh. I know that he doesn't but then again I'm not a fan of how it's jor-el who pressures him into becoming superman. and I think that a big part of superman is how the kents raised him right and it's because of their upbringing that he's the way he is. He should be superman because of the kents, not in spite of them. It's a personal thing, I admit, and I could be venturing into "NOT MY SUPERMAN" territory.

The reading's further confounded by my previous point of martha kent's line to clark. It's implied that clark's been doing this for a while as supes, but she' still telling him you don't owe the world a thing and is neutral at best as to whether he should continue helping people as superman. How could that not be seen as a misstep for the alien being who could wipe out the entire planet? Monaghan fucked around with this message at 19:45 on Jan 8, 2018 |

I watched Justice League last weekend, becuase it was in the cheap theaters and my girlfriend and I had nothing better to do, and a quick question: Why did Steppenwolf wait so long before coming to earth? Some character mentioned that he was coming because superman was dead. But the first battle that he lost took place thousands of years ago. What was stopping him from coming back at any time prior to superman coming to earth? Also it was pretty hilarious how superman is clearly like way better than the entire league. No point in having the league (except for cyborg I guess,) when supes is around.
