Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:Marvel Movies actually tend to do pretty well with women. I don't know how BvS did, but MoS and the X-Men movies were heavily slanted towards men. You forgot putting Chris Evans in extremely tight shirts.

I don't want anything bad happening to Hawk Family because killing off wives/families to make characters into the 'right' versions is lame as hell in comics, it's probably lame in movies too. It's also why I hope Deadpool 2 doesn't open with Deadpool's girlfriend getting a bridge dropped on her even though there's like a 90% chance of that happening

Didn't all those sidekicks end up growing up in the comics too? Like at this point I think the only Robin regularly portrayed as an actual kid is...Damien. I don't think there's been an actual teenage Bucky since World War 2.

ImpAtom posted:Isn't Robin in Batman Forever in his 20s? His actor at least was 25 at the time and I always got the impresion he was at least 20. It's completely schizophrenic about whether it's supposed to be a twenty something playing a teenager or literally a twenty something. Or to quote rifftrax, "Oh no, I'm an orphan. A 30 year old orphan."

I feel this kinda strange pity for Johns because he wouldn't be bad if he was still like any other writer, it just that he inexplicably keeps getting more and more power which aggravates all of his John-isms.

IIRC the Barbara/Bruce relationship was another one of those "can we actually get away with writing this?" things that the DCAU did a lot. Unlike those other cases I almost never see it brought up, hmm I wonder why.

Everything about Warner Brothers handling of the PC port/DLC mess was a total embarrassment, I don't feel bad if that becomes what the game is known for. I don't hate the game itself but even I went "really?" when they took down and reuploaded the game to Steam to wipe out user reviews.

twistedmentat posted:Doom is no where near the level of obnoxiousness as the Joker. Dumbass Katana and trenchcoat wearing nerds don't idolize him nearly as much. Doctor Doom's annoying fans always seemed to me to be comic book nerds talking to other comic book nerds. But then again, given Doom's adaptation record, it's not like they've had much other outlets.

Roth posted:I think in TAS Harley's a pretty good mix between being entertaining and funny in her own right, while being sympathetic and tragic for the abuse and manipulation she's suffered at the hands of the Joker. The weird part is that every single piece of media after TAS (except for maybe her spin-offs, I have no clue what happens in those), including stuff written by Bruce Timm, basically forgot Harley is supposed to be a sympathetic character at heart. Otherwise you get this feeling where the narrative is smugly gloating over a woman being "dumb enough" to get into an abusive relationship.

Several reviews have brought it up mockingly, but can anyone name which superhero/action films had a (does review material count as spoilers?) column of light in the climax? Other than Ghostbusters of course. I don't mean that as an argument, I have big gaps in my movie viewing and a bad memory.

ButtWolf posted:Also, did yall have a problem with Slipknot being in the movie for 30 seconds? It was kind of weird. I feel like a lot of the problems of Suicide Squad wouldn't be there if it was willing to actually kill off a large portion of the squad. Though I guess with the PG-13 rating that was never in the cards.

JT Smiley posted:I had no interest in this movie at all (because it looked terrible from the very start, but all the bad reviews actually make me want to see just how bad it is. Nothing about Suicide Squad looked to my taste at all but I still kinda hoped it would be good because it seemed to be trying for something different. So of course the first thing most reviewers say is that it's disappointingly generic.

Nothing in Suicide Squad's marketing looked to be for my tastes at all, but I'm still a little bummed it apparently wasn't very good because we got one more bad movie instead of a good one. mycot fucked around with this message at 20:53 on Aug 13, 2016 |

Four Score posted:I know it's dumb responding to an Aphrodite post, but tribes in the Amazon with minimal contact with the outside world know about Bruce Wayne's dumb dead parents. Tony Stark's dead parents took a backseat in all the Iron Man movies, the character himself being at best a B-list hero before IM1, and it wasn't until years after the movie that the comics added the archetypal "Secret Origins" story that expanded on Howard and Maria's deaths; even then, the comics and cinematic versions differ greatly. I misread this at first and thought it was talking about Wonder Woman knowing about Bruce Wayne's dead parents. Which is probably true.
