Also for some reason the internet at large wants Perlmutter to be the bad guy. No one has heard his side of the story, but hey, I heard he's tight with money so he must be an all around ominous shitlord.


See! What a shitlord! He doesn't want girls to have toys!

Either that or toy makers have found out that boys age 6-12 have shown an equal amount of interest in playing with action figures while girls start to lose interest around 8. So toy makers have a pretty reliable six year window to make profits off "boy toys" and a two year window to make a profit off "girl toys." It can't possibly be that little girls mature faster and have a more varied interest in things like drawing, coloring or are more aware of their appearance and like to play dress up, wear jewelry and make up. No, its got to be crusty old man sexism.

It's established pretty firmly in Batman Beyond that Barbara and Bruce hooked up and that is what drove Dick Grayson away and at least strongly implied they did it while Dick and Barbara were together. (There's a comic that made that last bit canonical but it isn't in the show so you're free to ignore it.) So yeah, that's in the actual show.

Its no Guardians, but its no XMen either. I hate the flashbacks that were just poo poo we saw 20 min ago, cameras that let the US see stuff explode, and 'my daughter'. Music didnt really bother me.

I dont get the sexism thing. Seems like being too PC. If Margot Robbie is undressing, everyone is gonna look. EVERYONE. Maybe dont make her character sexy i get that, but it wasnt as bad as ppl are making it seem.

A girl kisses guys and puts a spell on them. Who cares? Its seems ridiculous to get mad about that.

The flashbacks though. Im upset about that, and is the reason I didnt like BvS. Mild pacing problems, not real bad imo.

C grade movie.

I was going to write a big review but this accords with just about all of my thoughts, to highlight some of the reasons why this is a much, much better movie then BvS while still being a bad movie.
Will Smith does very good work with what he's given. This is a "Will Smith Movie Star™" calibre performance for the first time in years. Why on earth the movie wasn't more focused on Deadshot I don't know. Margot Robbie also does very good work with a very problematic character, whose motivations and actions don't even make any sense even with the considerable leeway of her character being batshit crazy. Waller and Boomerang are reasonably faithfully adapted (give or take a dumb unicorn gag). A decent Suicide Squad movie could definitely be made that was about those four characters, please drop every other character as well as their dumb flashbacks/dream sequences.

Joker is a complete nothingburger, that and every Affleck scene make me very worried about the next Batman movie.

Logan... haunted by the demons of his past. His healing factor is failing, and he has turned to alcohol to cope with his chronic pain.

Peter Debruge, Chief Film Critic for Variety posted:

Cut from the same mold as playboys Tony Stark (Iron Man) and Bruce Wayne (Batman), Strange easily might have become world’s most insufferable superhero. But instead, it’s the very fact of this deeply insecure and wildly overcompensating character’s determination to prove himself — coupled with the setback by which texting while driving cripples his hands and very nearly derails him of that ambition — that makes “Doctor Strange” Marvel’s most satisfying entry since “Spider-Man 2,” and a throwback to M. Night Shyamalan’s soul-searching identity-crisis epic “Unbreakable,” which remains the gold standard for thinking people’s superhero movies.

Look I'm not saying you're wrong for disliking that opinion, but there are way worse movies with the Marvel name on them than SM2. It's not a completely stupid pick for best Marvel movie, is what I'm saying.

Big Mean Jerk posted:

So Phase 4 will essentially be the cinematic equivalent of "Marvel Team-Up". Not sure how I feel about that.

Lobok posted:

It'll be nice to not have so much buildup, too. There really is no way the fight against Thanos is going to live up to the expectations of ten years.

Why? Is it because he doesn't care about people? No, the earlier scenes of him saving people contradicts this.

But honestly, this Spiderman movie could not have me less enthused. I am much more excited at what a Tom Hardy Venom movie looks like. I'm starting to get superhero-fatigue and need something different.
