Why wouldn't they throw Jon Berg under the bus? He doesn't work at Warner Bros anymore. Practically no one involved with the production of Justice League does.

At this point I think Fisher's going to have to give some details, since Warner is writing it off as "well he just didn't like how his character was written" and are probably just going to move on. The vagueness actually kind of hurts here.

Remember how The Dark Knight set up this massive status quo change where the police would actively be hunting Batman and Gotham would turn against him, leaving him more isolated then ever? And then in DKR it turned out Bruce twisted his ankle real bad so he quit being Batman for nearly a decade? I hate that loving movie.

I can't even enjoy DKR for what it is. I honestly can't think of a single thing I like about it. Like even just trying to go through its possible merits one by one: Is it a good action movie? gently caress no, most of the fight scenes are actively embarrassing, either in editing or choreography. Is it a good Batman movie? Batman is barely in it. His only story function is to fly away with a nuke at the end. Is it a good looking movie? No, it's Nolan at his flattest and dullest. Is that acting good? Not really. Hathaway and Hardy are completely miscast. JGL looks like he's confused why he's in the movie half the time. Everyone from the old films is doing their best, but... Is it well written? All the memorable bits of writing are only memorable because they've been turned into memes that are either about how hilarious Hardy's bane voice is or how unnatural and awkward the movie's dialogue is. How about the story? Bane takes over Gotham by trapping every police officer in the city in the sewer for months. What's it trying to say thematically? People who want social change are just dupes being used by terrorists and instantly let their city fall into anarchy until ~the police~ show up to save the day! Sprinkle in enough references to A Tale Of Two Cities that make it clear the writers missed the point of A Tales Of Two Cities. It's a wretched, awful movie and I hate it.

It's a weird turn after the cops were spectacularly useless in TDK, constantly blundering into every trap the Joker set, and with Gordon turning on Batman when it comes to the hostage situation at the end. Ultimately it's civilians who are the only people on the movie who prove the Joker wrong. Then in DKR they're both stupid enough to get trapped in a sewer for months and yet the only thing that defeats the army of escaped criminals who have taken over the city?

They could have just rewritten Iron Man's origin in a way they didn't put any of the onus on foreigners and then feature the subsequent killing of said foreigners, but that would require a level of self-awareness in 2008 I genuinely don't believe anyone in Hollywood possessed.

Did WB take action against Whedon? The only person whose word we have on that is Fisher, who apparently is wrong about action being taken against Johns. Whedon says he quit due to stress of working during covid which sure does sound like bullshit but now with all of this it kind of hurts Fisher's credability. I have no doubt he has the best of intentions in mind and is genuinely trying to improve working conditions for black actors but I also don't think he really has any idea what he's doing. You also have that whole thing where he says he won't work in any movie that's under Hamada, but then blasts The Wire writer as "doing WarnerMedia's bidding" or whatever when it's reported that he's not going to be in The Flash, and then trying to take some weird loophole that somehow the statement he made doesn't mean he's not going to be in that movie? All I can think of is that he geniunely thinks they're going to take the movie away from Hamada, and that's...not going to happen. It's really not going to happen.

howe_sam posted:It sort of depends on how you define results with respect to Johns. He's no longer an executive at WarnerMedia, but they still have a business relationship with his production company to make Stargirl for them. Plus, WW84 was written waaay before all this started so it's a little unfair to point to that as an example of Warner still being in the Geoff Johns business. Likewise, those other EP credits are probably contractual holdovers from his time as DC CCO, I mean hell, Andrew Kriesberg's name is still all over the CWVerse shows and he got fired years ago. So depending on how you want to parse it both things are true? No, it's really not. Johns was never an executive at WarnerMedia. He was a chief creative officer at DC Entertainment and left that position in 2018, years before Fisher said anything. As the article says, he's still actively the showrunner of Stargirl and producing a show that's still coming up. There's been no mention of him being removed from either of those,. So, it sure looks like nothing happened to him much less Fisher's claim that he'll be leaving.

AdmiralViscen posted:Oh right, that was in December. But the negotiations aren’t, per this tweet This is not "every dirty detail isn't on twitter yet", it's that every detail Fisher is giving seems to be completely divorced from reality. There is no indication from anyone but Fisher that "negotiations" are happening. especially when there's a clear "We're done, move on" statement from Warner. There's no indication from anyone but Fisher that Joss Whedon was forced to exit his HBO series because of the investigation. There's no indication from anyone but Fisher that Geoff Johns is on his way out or suffered anything from this investigation at all. There's been lots of indications that Fisher isn't going to be in any DC projects going forth, except from him, and then he attacks the person who wrote an article on it and tries to double back on how the thing he said isn't exactly the thing he said. I don't think the guy's malicious but he does seem to be extremely bad at this.

The idea that the response to "a four hour Justice League movie sounds like a bad idea" is "Well no one's FORCING you to watch it" is mind boggling to me yeah dog no one's forcing me to watch the Jared Leto Morbius movie either and I will still voice my opinion that it sounds really loving bad

FilthyImp posted:Bitching about runtime aside, remember when we all were ready for the pissbreak at the end of Endgame and the studio decided to give us a 5 minute Signature Series goodbye to the Avengers? That'd make sense, It might be that the first thirty or forty minutes are pretty close to the original and there were thoughts about whether or not people would just check out after not seeing sufficient differences but at that point that actually is blind speculation on things we haven't seen I guess.
