Cartridgeblowers posted:Oh no, I agree with you! I think Cyborg can be a great character. But no one has ever really given him that push. When I said he's a Marvel chracter in a DC world, I feel like he's a character who has to deal with real personal issues of belonging, self-worth, etc. But that's never the angle other media takes with him. I dunno. The Teen Titans animated series does a good job with it, albeit that version of the character is significantly more goofy than normal.

Phylodox posted:I mean, it's entirely possible he had a complete movie ready to go, but now that he's realized he's up against the wall with nothing to lose he might as well go hog wild with the thing and just shoot every single idea he ever had for the movie from the start. The simpler answer is simply that he's getting more than he thought was possible, so he's going to take advantage of it.

I think the problem with the Maxwell Lord and the wishes plot is that it ends up neutering Cheetah's plot by proxy. Steve comes back, so any possible romance with Barbara gets halted because it would be weird to have that going on and not address the love interest of the previous movie. Cheetah goes bad out of a convenient excuse of her wish causing her to do it, rather than writing an actual fall from grace. I generally don't like "I wish the movie had a different plot" style criticism, but I can't help but feel like there could have been an interesting, small scale story about two women in conflict with one another. Add in some queer text/subtext to their relationship, and I would probably be a lot more forgiving of the movie being so long and slow. As is, it feels like the movie escalates to and end of the world scenario for excitement, and both the villains in the movie end up underdeveloped as a result.

I may have been expecting too much, but I just don't feel like there was any meat to the Diana/Barbara relationship. There's hints of it at the beginning, and it did get my hopes up, but Barbara just ends up feeling left behind by the movie's plot until there's an action scene to be had.

As a lesbian that Joss Whedon would describe as "thirsty" to my widowed wife, I think if queer readings of film and the people that do them seriously in academia are going to be insulted because a gay dude on SA felt open to a movie having both a queer and a regressive reading, then I would probably laugh and think they need to take their stick out of their rear end. I'll laugh even harder at the guy pointlessly being a dick to everybody over it in the Something Awful BSS Movie Thread: RIP Chadwick Boseman. Not to mod voice in a section I don't mod, but chill out. It ain't a big deal.

Long movies are cool. I like the Ultimate Cut of Watchmen, the extended editions of Lord of the Rings, Lawrence of Arabia. I guess in some universe "You're getting a very long movie by a director you like" is a serious gotcha moment and we've all been owned.

BrianWilly posted:What everyone has to understand is that the indoctrination of Snyder's cult of personality is so complete that things that are usually seen as bad filmmaking decisions are always somehow warped into being good actually, as long as Snyder does it. I also think it's good when Peter Jackson does it, and more four hour long movie epics would be cool.

ImpAtom posted:While this is true the number of films that go over three hours and are well-edited can probably be counted on one hand with fingers left over. And? Justice League is not yet out, and while much of this thread thinks a four hour Zack Snyder movie sounds like a slog, I think it sounds rad. By contrast, I found Force Majeure, a movie that is just under 2 hours, a miserable slog that I wish was 30 minutes long. There is nothing wrong with Zack Snyder, or any filmmaker, making a long movie like this, unless hating said filmmaker is a core part of your identity.

ImpAtom posted:It is a good thing literally nobody said that? It'd be all fine and dandy if it was just "I'm not interested in a four hour movie by a director I don't like" but that was not the framing of the posts we responded to Monaghan posted:I am dying to know how the Snyder verse fans will try to spin a 4 hour movie not being a loving slog to get through. Arist posted:Are you really having this much trouble understanding "it is a bad idea to make your movie four hours long"? This isn't that. This is "There is an inherent problem with making a movie that long" which was responded to with "No it's not. There are plenty of movies that are that long and also good." It was only after that that it was clarified that they meant Snyder movies exclusively, which oh well I guess? And then there's this nutcase post about people being indoctrinated to think it's a good idea BrianWilly posted:What everyone has to understand is that the indoctrination of Snyder's cult of personality is so complete that things that are usually seen as bad filmmaking decisions are always somehow warped into being good actually, as long as Snyder does it.

Reading the two of you(now 4 or 5 I guess) argue as if you had opposing personal stakes in everything Snyder does really drags the thread down.....and it's been pages now. I really wish you guys wouldn't take this poo poo so personally. Yeah, I largely stopped reading this thread because it feels like people fly off the handle insanely fast. It's weird in contrast to the rest of BSS which feels remarkably chill for a comic book forum.

The claims that Ray Fisher has had in his campaign are pretty effectively summed up here https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2562041/ray-fishers-cyborg-a-timeline-of-the-justice-league-controversy-and-his-potential-dceu-exit Essentially that Joss Whedon was abusive on set, and that Geoff Johns was an enabler of said abuse. Among them was that Geoff Johns threatened Ray Fisher's career for attempting to speak up about Joss Whedon's behavior on the set August last year. He also named Jon Berg as assisting in this enabling behavior, among alleging that Ray Fisher was just upset that they wanted him to say "Booyah!" Fisher was still under an NDA at this point, but emphasized that he would not relent in speaking out what he could. The investigation gets launched by Warner later in August, hiring a 3rd party to conduct the investigation. Starting in September, Fisher claimed that Walter Hamada attempted to throw Whedon and Berg under the bus with a "deal" that he would relent on Geoff Johns. Ray Fisher obviously did not take that deal, with Warner firing back by claiming it wasn't true and that Ray Fisher was not being cooperative with the investigators, despite Fisher posting proof that he had indeed met with the investigation. Jason Mamoa and Kiersey Clemons then throw their support behind Ray Fisher as well. At this point, Warner apparently announced a fake Frosty the Snowman movie starring Jason Mamoa that was written by Geoff Johns. Statement from Jason Mamoa quote:THIS poo poo HAS TO STOP AND NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT @ray8fisher AND EVERYONE ELSE WHO EXPERIENCED WHAT HAPPEN UNDER THE WATCH OF @wbpictures NEEDS PROPER INVESTIGATION I just think it’s hosed up that people released a fake Frosty announcement without my permission to try to distract from Ray Fisher speaking up about the lovely way we were treated on Justice League reshoots. #IStandWithRayFisher. aloha j Fisher made a request that the investigation team be changed because the hired investigator was not interviewing key witnesses about the situation. Come late October and Fisher gave an interview where he alleged that Whedon was responsible for cutting multiple characters played by actors of color, and that he had the skin tone of one actor changed in post production. December 11th saw the investigation concluding with "remedial action" being implemented. Fisher indicated that some had already happened, and more was on the way. He also indicated that Whedon leaving The Nevers was in part because of the investigation. Following the investigation, Ray Fisher indicated that he would not work with Walter Hamada anymore after Zack Snyder's Justice League, considering him an enabler of the abuse that took place on set, as well as obstructing the Justice League investigation. He has indicated that he intends to not return regardless of what happens, so long as Walter Hamada remains in charge. None of this, to me, comes across as vague accusations or attention seeking. Perhaps if you would like insight into every detail of what happened on the Justice League set, then it doesn't go into detail on that beyond that Whedon was abusive. I don't think the specifics matter, but it seems that a large amount of people agreed this was true. As for Berg, Hamada, and Johns, it would seem that they are obviously not being held responsible, and Fisher is not happy with that, prompting his departure. Now I hope we can move on past this whole "But what if he's just attention seeking?" bit that keeps coming up. Someone said it earlier, but the man is basically torching his career by pissing off a lot of people, as well as giving up a role that was very significant to him. I don't think attention seeking factors into it at that point.

And I have all the sympathy in the world for the tragedy that caused all this, no parent should have that happen. By all accounts, Zack Snyder is an absolute pleasure to work with.
