If you make a Superman movie and it gets rated R you should be arrested

Also, does the Flash actually appear in costume in this film, zipping about?

I have not seen the movie but wanted to know if the Suicide Squad could be compared to the Daredevil film.

If you bring in the Mandarin - terrorist leader and Chinese nationalist - Who are you offending?

Now, since the movies already did this, why is nobody actually offended? Why are people only trying to be offended by saying the movies better not do this thing they already did?

I'm not even talking about the short. These things were established in the movies themselves, so if you saw the Iron Man movies, you knew that there was a terrorist group called the Ten Rings, and you knew there was mysterious person called the Mandarin that may be leading them. With that there, you don't have people going "Oh man that's so racist that they did those things in those movies!" And if you are going to argue that it's not overt enough, what about having Middle Eastern/Asian terrorists in the movies to begin with? Why is that not offensive?

People get really fixated on the name. Why? We already used the name out loud in Iron Man 3 and it was totally OK, but to actually attribute it to a Chinese dude would be bad... why? Was it bad to have T'Challa be called Black Panther because that sounds offensive? Neither of those things are actually offensive but they kinda sound racist because of the skin colors of the people involved and where they are from so I dunno maybe?

I'm a pretty progressive dude and I'm all for not offending people and not doing dumb racist poo poo, but I absolutely do not fathom how there is any reasonable justification for this argument beyond "It just seems bad and I don't like it!" and that's a really weak argument, especially since all the things you think would be bad have already been established and nobody is freaking out.

ASM 2 was universes worse than Age of Ultron.

My only really major gripe with Age of Ultron is how it just can't let a scene go on without a joke or somebody pointing out how ridiculous the situation is.

it actually has legitimate scenes

He's a rigid-minded fanatic that's just found out that the master he spent decades following was by his standards a hypocrite. I thought it was pretty believable that his reaction was to go off the rails and decide "You know what? gently caress wizards."

This sounds almost like Sinestro in the GL movie

I expect it to play it safe, because they are introducing "yes, real MAGIC" and all the baggage that comes with that, and having anything else may scare and confuse the general movie going public.

Have we heard of Marvel films being 'kind of a mess' during production, or is this a DC thing?

Logan was fantastic. After 17 years of near-bloodless Wolverine kills, those first five minutes were quite a shock. I love how they fully committed to that R rating.

What a perfect sendoff for Xavier and Logan both. Based on the trailers, you kind of knew Xavier was going to die, but I'm glad they made the decision to end Logan's story here too. Jackman did an amazing job as the old broken gunslinger coming out of retirement. Having first-hand experience watching Alzheimer's destroy someone, Xavier's first couple scenes just crushed me. Does anyone know what his last words were? I couldn't hear them in my theater.

Shane's been on my list of movies to watch for a while, but now it's taking a priority.

MoS was very much stand-alone. There where a few hints of a wider world, such as the Wayne satellite and LexCorp trucks, but they where ultimately just background dressing. Every scene supported the story currently being told. On the other hand, BvS took time away from getting into the plot vital third act to show three, awkwardly bunched scenes virtually identical to a stinger except not tucked away in the easily ignorable after credits space. Before that, we had a dream sequence to further explore Batman's motivations that suddenly gets invaded by parademons and the Flash in weird armor. Comic fans are now wondering why and how future Flash is entering Bruce's dreams. General audiences are sitting there scratching their heads. I'm all for laying groundwork for future films, but not if it gets in the way of the current movie.

Got back from Logan and really liked it. Had to groan when it was revealed that the black kid had lightning/electric powers.

He fades away into a tornado while Clark looks on yards away. Pa Kent dying is nothing new to the story of Superman. Having him run to the car after a dog while Clark is right there is just stupid.

I think he might have learned that lesson already during the destruction of downtown Smallville. Guess this Superman is just a bit slow on the uptake.

I wonder if that's coincidence or they wanted to avoid locking Wonder Man in in any way.
