Those are only storyboards and yet I got more of an emotional reaction out of them than anything in the Justice League they released.

I just randomly rewatched the scene where Wayne recruits Flash because apparently that's where I stopped watching the movie the last time I tried to rewatch it. I like that scene, it quickly establishes Flash's abilities and limitations, which are that he is socially awkward and might not be able to use his ability to its fullest quite yet. Also Batman finally admits what his real superpower is. It's a charming scene. Too bad about the rest of the movie.

I'm pretty sure that was actually directed by Snyder, since an almost complete version of that scene was in one of the first 'sneak peaks'

There's still some awkward cut-ins from reshoots in the scene, like that part where the Flash goes off about brunch.

Almost Blue posted:There's still some awkward cut-ins from reshoots in the scene, like that part where the Flash goes off about brunch. I honestly don't mind that bit, probably because it fits Flash's character and Batman doesn't also devolve into a quip-machine, he keeps the straight man act up fairly well. "Bubbly socially awkward nerd" is one of Whedon's stock characters and it kinda works with Flash. After that scene I made a mistake, I continued watching. That horrible gif of Superman punching Steppenwolf is bad but there are several moments that are just as bad, like when Wonder Woman confronts Steppenwolf in the tunnel, 50 seconds into this clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LoBx812Ujs The way Steppenwolf dodges WW's sword at the end there made me laugh out loud, I could practically hear one of the players whoop because they found out which button to press to dodge. And then Flash falls into Wonder Woman's boobies. It's been said often but bears repeating, the movie is just a mess of baffling edits and directionless scenes. Later in the movie, Steppenwolf grabs one of his demons by the throat and lifts it up, shouting at the others to go and find his mother's box. It reads like a typical "Darth Vader is dissatisfied with his underling and makes an example of them as he instructs the rest of his army to go and do stuff" scene, but we never saw what that demon did to piss Steppenwolf off. In fact, we never see the demons to anything, except getting splatted by Batman. They don't talk, they don't interact with each other in any meaningful way and they are not distinctive from one another at all, so it's puzzling why Steppenwolf would grab one and strangle him to death while screaming at the other demons. Neither them nor the audience gives a poo poo. All that said, I still like some of the close-ups of Steppenwolf's face. I don't recognize Ciarán Hinds in there, like, at all. But Steppenwolf has some facial expressions that make him come across as a kind of bemused zealot, someone who thinks he's enlightened and can only smirk at the bullshit the world in general throws at him. That's interesting, but the movie utterly fails to give his conviction any kind of substance.

I was watching BvS last night and I don’t know if it was my imagination, but it seems like there are bits when Bruce is talking and his voice briefly slips into the modulated Batman voice. The best example I can think of is when Alfred confronts him about the White Portuguese and Bruce goes on his “1% chance” rant. When Alfred asks him “You’re going to go to war?” and Bruce replies with “That son of a bitch brought the war to us!” the last portion of that sentence sounds like it’s in Batman’s voice.

Supposedly, Kevin Smith leaked more stuff about Snyder's cut. -Among the production crew, Snyder's version was called 'Justice League'... Joss' version was called 'Josstice League'... -Jim Lee had drawn-up breakdown boards for a trilogy of films -Large similarities in first film to the final product (Steppenwolfe), but final 'boomtube' would have revealed Darkseid, where the League sees him, and he sees them before Steppenwolfe escapes -A version of Alfred's scene "Let's hope you're not too late" had green lights on-set to project a green glow... would have been a Green Lantern instead of Superman -Second film was to "go cosmic", have the team take the fight to Apokolips (and presumably involve New Genesis). Green Lantern Corps would've been involved -Team would've got their asses kicked in second film and lost, and Darkseid would have gone to Earth and completely wrecked poo poo -The BvS Knightmare sequence was literally a sneak preview of the Third film with the heroes returning to Earth to make a last stand

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:I have said several times that it's basically John Carter of Krypton and it fuckin' rules Yeah, Jor-El as a Doc Savage style athlete/warrior/scientist rather than the lab-coated intellectual you get in some versions was a blast, and tells you something about his whole Superman project, and you then get a transition into something more like the latter once he's disembodied as an AI. And then all the imagery from it that gets repeated throughout the movie helps contextualize what exactly the Kryptonian threat represents. Opens the movie with a blast while also setting up the entire story.

Dream sequences aren't bad, except when it's used as a crutch just because the author can't think of another way to convey a piece of information. If the whole movie had Batman continually experiencing these visions, that's one thing. But they didn't do that.

Batman's dream sequence in BvS conveyed information about Batman's subconscious fears and desires. A dream seems like a pretty good way of showing what's eating at a character who's otherwise very stoic and resolute.

We see a number of his dreams, but only one is specifically a prophetic vision of the future (in addition to encapsulating his anxieties), which is apparently precisely the wrong number of prophetic vision to have in a movie, in a rule made up right at this moment.

Well and it's not prophetic in the movie that was released. It's a paranoid dream to show how delusional Batman is. It only (rumoredly) gets revealed as a prophecy in a future movie that wasn't filmed.

It is, I think, the clearest portrayal in the movie of Batman's fear of being betrayed by the police, though we certainly see bits of this elsewhere with stuff like one of them shooting at him. But, then, if we didn't get some new information out of the scene it would be redundant, which actually would be bad. It's straight-up Cinema Sins poo poo. *ding* Wrong number of prophetic dreams.

There's something to this, but given that it presages some of the information about Lois that Flash is about to tell him, I do read it as Bruce's typically fear-ridden dreams being influenced by the incoming time traveller.

While I'm so-so on Beavis I liked Man Of Steel and am very bummed we aren't ever going to get Snyder's take on Final Crisis. The Knightmare was visually great and I would have loved to see a whole movie following that style.
