A-ha, but now Supes knows about the grenade, and can dodge it, then just shout at him. And if that doesn't work, grab his rear end and fly him 1,000 feet in the air. Bats will listen then.

He doesn't really have an excuse for getting hit by the second one though.

This isn't directed at you specifically, but just a general question because I saw a similar comment in Gen Chat a while ago: isn't SW prequel love pretty recent? The movies were pretty reviled by "fans" almost immediately after release, although I can't remember if the prequels or the Special Editions started the "George Lucas raped my childhood thing". Really, the CD thread is the first place I've seen nerds who think the movies aren't that bad. Maybe I just missed out on a loud, obnoxious part of the internet when they were released.

It's been long enough that they're being reevaluated, and more and more people grew up with them instead of hte Original Trilogy as well. Attack of the Clones is still dire with a few saving graces but the other two are Fine. Phantom Menace looks better and Revenge is at least trying to do something

Nobody "reviled" the prequels immediately after release. Revisionist history, my man. Online movie discussion is now mostly poo poo, it's people deciding that stuff is either total loving irredeemable garbage or jaw-dropping perfect masterpieces. There's no middle ground anymore, it's all bad faith slams and recitation of "plot holes" talking points from dumbshits on Youtube or pointing at Rotten Tomatoes and saying "see, I'm right". I just heard a podcast refer to Blade Runner 2049 as "complete dogshit" and it's like, ok, these people have had their brains turned to oatmeal by Being Online.

Exactly, even Jar-Jar was largely dismissed as "he's for little kids, you're not 'supposed' to 'get him'." Again, the idea that movies had a point of view and were for specific people has been largely replaced by the idea that there's "objectively good storytelling" and that all movies should shackle themselves to it...if they do they will be rewarded with many tomatoes and fantastic box office.

as time goes by internet spaces become less dominated by dudes who were in their 20s and 30s when tpm came out and were mad it didn't do the impossible by making them feel like how they remember it was like seeing the ot as a little kid thus prequel hate seems like it diminishes over time

Like, I saw Phantom Menace in theaters. It was fine. Jar Jar was dumb but whatever. You want to really catch a bad movie in theaters, be me in 1998 hyped as gently caress for Godzilla and then sitting through that trainwreck. That was the first time Dumb Kid Me really understood how to hate a movie.

Yeah, kids loved the prequels and general audiences seemed fine with them. I'm specifically talking about hardcore prequel defenders that I apparently had no idea existed all the way back to their release. Don't get me wrong, I love that there are actual conversations about their quality happening now, I just assumed it was a recent thing.

It's a movie that, for me, has some how gotten worse with age. The practical effects in the film are top notch but the CGI has aged exactly as well as you'd think, and Zilla is just such a lovely monster. A lot of the really awful humor of the movie, and some of the more What The gently caress aspects, don't hit you as hard until you're much older too. It's even more glaring in today's society just how inept and awful the film is. I do not think that it could have been made at any point after 2001 because of how it treats city destruction and loss of life. Couple that with 'comedy' bits that if you DO get them just drag the movie down even further than they were and you likely won't get them because what person is going to remember Siskle and Ebert having a 'feud' with Dean Devilin and Roland?

Al Borland Corp. posted:Supes caught the grenade, probably intended as a show of force to demonstrate the futility and silliness of this, but the grenade was full of kryptonite gas. Even then "well just fly him out of range of his toys" demonstrably didn't work for him when he tried it earlier in the fight. Superman got hit by some of Bats' traps and then flew him through a building onto a roof, then got hit by a kryptonite grenade. If he tries flying his rear end 1,000 feet into the air to get him to listen, there's no guarantee that Batman doesn't have like a kryptonite shank he can stab him in the groin with. Literally every time Superman tried to reason with him or show how easily he could end the fight/take them to another location, Batman still kept refusing to listen and trying his hardest to gently caress Superman up. The whole argument boils down to a tactical realism "well if Superman had done A instead of B then the Batman's follow up attack wouldn't have worked as well and he definitely would be forced to listen".

I vaguely remember having a lot of "they were ok, relax, you can still watch the originals" conversations at the time of prequels but I recently rewatched Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones and am really down on them and can't work up the drive to soldier on.

Also let's not forget Superman has been dragged by the media for a week straight, had a bomb go off and kill a bunch of people right in front of him, saved the love of his life from certain death twice, found out Gotham's most prominent billionaire is an insane vigilante whose brands mark people for death, and now has an hour to find his mother before she's executed via flamethrower. He's got a lot on his mind. An alternative title for BvS could be "Superman's Bad Week"
