ImpAtom posted:I am curious about the whole 'he refused to meet with the third party investigator" thing. There is obviously something WB isn't saying about that statement and I'd like to know what because it's clearly them trying to make him look bad but I'd like to know what the actual story behind it is. It isn't exactly a hard talking point to manufacture. "Let's meet in a crowded restaurant, no masks." "No." "HE REFUSED TO MEET WITH US!"

WB has handled their DC license with such wild incompetence that honestly I hope Snyder takes them for all they're worth. If WB executives didn't want to go bankrupt, they shouldn't have rushed Justice League out the door just to preserve their loving bonuses. If we get an actually-good Justice League out of it, bonus!

Edit:^^ Apparently my take is not particularly uncommon! Saw it, way better then the theatrical cut but you could cut an hour off the runtime and have a basically superior film, because you need one less bathroom break to get through it.

Saw Carnage, and as someone who didn’t see the first one, are you SUPPOSED to love Venom and just loathe the pathetic sadsack he’s attached to? Seriously, every time that Eddie interacts with the plot in the first two acts, it’s because someone else forced him to. You could cut AT LEAST 50% of the scenes where he’s just hanging out in his apartment and lose basically nothing of value.

While I’m not expecting it to be an out-and-out flop or anything, I should point out that Eternals already has a lower RT critic score then Thor: the Dark World, and that’s with critics that Disney hand-picked. It might just be a bad movie, guys

Gavok posted:I still have to digest it, but the movie didn't do much for me. I appreciate the effort, but yeah, I'd rather watch Thor 2 over again. It's on the bottom of the MCU list for now. Yeah, I was trying to summarize my feelings but this kind of nailed it. Not terrible, but not really something I'd ever want to watch again. I was lukewarm on Shang-Chi (the bus scene was good!) and pretty cold on Black Widow, so I guess I'm waiting for the new Spiderman (my favorite character in the MCU, and maybe favorite cape in general?) to see if I've just gotten bored of the formula or if I just didn't like these couple films specifically.

Barry Convex posted:re: what I said above about the Deviants: thinking it through, Kro shouldn't have even been a secondary antagonist in the third act. the third act should have involved Sersi et al. recognizing their common foes, reaching out to him, and striking a truce with him to help form the Uni-Mind and stop Ikaris and the Emergence. instead, what we get basically amounts to "well, yeah, the Deviants were screwed over by the Celestials too, but they're still evil and we need to kill them anyway," which is incoherent and significantly muddles the ostensible themes of the movie But you see, he's ugly, so

SonicRulez posted:I thought Druig's observation that Deviants being capable of evolution made them not so different the Eternals was going to go somewhere. It did not. I suppose it could in the future, but that doesn't seem like what's going on. Easily the most frustrating thing about the movie for me, realizing that both the Eternals and Deviants had been hosed over by the Celestials and learning to work together (or at least not kill each other the way the Celestials want) was such an obvious plot beat, and yet they didn’t even bother. The Deviants don’t even have a reason to be in the story*, they should have just cut them and had the first half be a ‘who killed Ajax’ murder mystery. *Yes, I’m aware their actual role was ‘CGI monster to fight because we’re afraid to do superhero movies without a bunch of dumb action scenes’ but they could have been used to actually reinforce the movie’s themes instead of just cannon fodder.

I mean, even if you aren't in a place with lockdowns, you should probably think long and hard about whether you want to go to a sure-to-be-packed movie premier when there is a new strain out there that is more infectious then Delta and may be vaccine-resistant. Like, would you be comfortable seeing this in theaters if it had a 1% chance of being the direct cause of your death? How about 2%? 5%, 10%? At absolute minimum go in there with a respirator and goggles. Random Asshole fucked around with this message at 06:45 on Dec 2, 2021 |

Jamesman posted:The Riddler's origin story in this movie is he was inspired by Batman Forever and the movie shows him watching the entire thing. They take inspiration from Spiderman and have the Riddler build a dimensional portal, forcing Robert Pattinson to team up with Val Kilmer to defeat Jim Carrey and Tommy Lee Jones. edit: I basically want every superhero movie from now on to be forced to do this, especially if they don't want to.

Mameluke posted:one day, we will have a live-action Batman Who Laughs as well It’s a premise so laser-targeted at making money that the only reason I think we might NOT get one is that any WB executive who survived hearing the phrase “Batman VS Edgy Evil Batman…” would probably die instantly of a heart attack and/or priapism upon hearing the words “… except Edgy Evil Batman is also The Joker, somehow.”

I'd pay so much money to see people's reactions if at the end they reveal the Joker, but it's the Cesar Romero Joker and he's just alliterating like crazy while holding a cartoon bomb.

I liked it, although it was definitely too long. The villain was definitely supposed to be Hush at some point, right? The mask, the petty obsession with Bruce Wayne as his only real motivation, the closeup on the word HUSH... I guess they just decided at some early point to change the villain to someone people actually know and care about. My final score: 1/2. No pearl drop scene, but a Joker teaser. Not great, not terrible.

iceyman posted:Seems pretty ripe for your classic and modern day anti-LGBT bullshit. I think the bigger question is, is Disney brave enough to lean into it? I fear that answer is no. Disney was already making sure any LGBTQ+ content could be edited out before the current wave of revolting anti-gay cultural revanchism, so I'd put the chance of that happening now at exactly 0%.

Happitoo posted:That being said, I don't think current WB/DC leadership is capable of that. But it doesn't mean someone who is competent coudn't be. Yes, this is the actual stumbling block. The real reason they need a Feige-like figure is to have someone who can tell WB execs "Joker 2: We Live In A Society is a loving mess right now, we aren't going to release it as-is and I don't give a gently caress that it means you lose out on a bonus."

MoM was pretty good overall. Dr. Strange remains a boring character with a cool powerset, and Wanda got done dirty. Not much I can say here that hasn't already been said. The Illuminati saying "We can deal with [actual threat], we're worried about YOU" and then immediately getting clowned on by said actual threat was painfully stupid, but it's the exact kind of dumb thing that would happen in the comics (including all the alt-universe guys getting massacred unceremoniously), so I guess I can chalk that one up to verisimilitude. Excited that Dr. Strange mentioned that the Fantastic Four were big in the 60's, chances of period piece rising, but hopefully they don't bring back Krasinski. Raimi brought some great cross-genre horror touches to this, I really hope we get more Marvel movies like this in the future, and less strictly-formulaic stuff like Black Widow. Please?

I mean, on the one hand I can definitely see what you’re saying, on the other just based on the only group of people who liked the movie (ladies horny for Jared Leto) I think a generic vampire film starring JL would have done better and Sony just has terminal franchise-brain like most studios these days.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:WB just announced they are cancelling the Scooby Doo sequel they already finished, spent $40 million on, and sending it to the vault with Batgirl too. Literally just throwing money away, for no benefit. Can't even justify it by saying it'll dilute another brand. Amazing. Orc Priest posted:wth happened with MCU Phase 4? Last month I started getting into the MCU and it was great... until Phase 4. Loki and Dr Strange Multiverse were amazing, but everything else ranged from mediocre to doggy dogshit. A bunch of Marvel's big tentpole actors wanted to retire after Phase 3, so they planned to spend some time introducing some new characters. Then COVID hit, loving up basically every aspect of the film industry. I've liked the last three I saw (Spiderman, MoM, Thor) so I personally feel like they've worked out the kinks, but I wouldn't blame anyone for disagreeing.

X-O posted:It's hard for me to believe Batgirl was pulled because of quality. I've seen some of the other DC movies like Wonder Woman 2 and Suicide Squad. When it was just Batgirl I thought it was the Cartmanland school of advertising ("The movie so bad, you aren't allowed to see it!"), but yeah, basically Discovery wildly overreached buying Warner and now can't really afford to do anything with the properties they just bought, and the same big brain who made that decision is now just throwing money down the drain for reasons unknown but almost certainly unrelated to the actual film's quality. It's cool that so many beloved media franchises are now in the hands of such an idiot, after the various Justice League debacles I really thought they'd hit the bottom of the barrel in terms of management competence. Very exciting they found someone even stupider!
