A bunch of people who didn't like MoS or BvS don't like Wonder Woman either?  This also reminds me of when MoS came out and early reviewers were like "Superman ABORTS BABIES" and poo poo. This place is hardly immune to hype, or anti-hype. I'll see for myself, thanks.

Superman killed Zod in Man of Steel with the appropriate emotional impact that the regretfully necessary act of justified homicide in the defense of others should have on a morally centered person and was called a monster. People asked why he couldn't be more like the happy and reassuring 70s version, who threw his harmless captives into antiseptic pits never to be seen again with the triumphant cheer of the underdog getting his revenge at the end of a teen comedy?

Doflamingo posted:Personally I think killing Zod was fine but the overall script was bad and the acting was bad and even the best action scenes just felt like video game cutscenes. The movie was not good for a whole bunch reasons other than "NOT MY SUPERMAN" bullshit. Doflamingo posted:Having said that it was still a lot better than BvS. Holy crap that movie sucked! I have no doubt Wonder Woman will beat that dreck at the very least. Yeah but you're wrong about this stuff too.

Grendels Dad posted:Pretty sure you'd be able to find an issue or three where you can make the exact opposite argument. It's weird that you get so abrasive because some guy's point is clearly invalidated by two examples from over 75 years of publication history. Yeah, say virtually every issue written since 1986.

Ha, the one time they don't make a tie-in prequel comic and people want one.

Sir Kodiak posted:Sure, but there's mortals with the name Napi. There's lots of people named Jesus but if someone speaking Aramaic said "hi, I'm Jesus, but keep it on the down-low" in a story about the redemption of mankind it might be significant.

Sir Kodiak posted:I'm not saying it's not significant, but there's a difference between interpreting that as a reference and as a cameo by the son of God. The difference is context clues, and making a reading which follows the evidence instead of vice versa.

Sir Kodiak posted:I'd agree. The only evidence I've seen for Napi being the Napi is a note in a script, but I'm legitimately interested in arguments. Judging from the Avengers discussion you treat films like found footage from which one derives objective information about the reality depicted so I don't know why I was expecting anything else.

Inescapable Duck posted:I think James Cameron kinda lacks the language for what he's trying to get across here, aside from that Strong Female Protagonist kinda just doesn't cut it anymore. I got the opposite impression out of that statement, if the character isn't overcoming personal damage and taking on a hardened edge then she isn't "legit". Raving about having to "demonstrate the same thing over again" doesn't sound like a concern over people needing to move on.

They're not though, one's being inclusive and one's being regressive. Jenkins' perspective is that there's more than one type of strong woman, overcoming loss and pain to find personal strength is fine but women characters should be able to be more than that and Cameron nigh-literally went "NUH-UH THAT'S DUMB".

Oh poo poo, I just realized I didn't actually relate to Superman as a kid because I wasn't an alien survivor of a doomed world raised by Kansas farmers. Thanks for setting me straight.
