This is great although would have more impact if it actually showed the proper proportions between 30 min, 90 min, and 3.5 hours. Also worth remembering that even those ~30 minutes that Zack filmed and made it into JL'17 were re-color graded, intercut with bad reshoots, and generally mucked about so even the half hour of "already seen" footage is going to be drastically different when properly produced and put in their original context

Superrodan posted:It looks so dark and miserable to me, like it's going to be all of the self importance of when comic books take themselves too seriously, and little to none of the fun. I sincerely hope I'm wrong. Not to pick on you specifically, and certainly everyone gets different things out of these movies, but I’m still blown away when everyone says these movies are so joyless. For me while they tackle heavier aspects of super heroing they do it in a hopeful and ultimately optimistic way. Also in the first two Perry White and Alfred are both genuinely funny to me, even if the heroes aren’t the ones cracking jokes

ImpAtom posted:There is a significant difference between how the Shawshank Redemption handles it (and to be honest The Shawkshank Redemption playing into the 'evil rapist prisoners' stereotype has aged like poo poo) and doing it in a superhero movie. Snyder did not put prison rape in a super hero movie, he used it in a interview as an example of a “dark” story you could do in a setting such as the Watchmen universe. At a certain point you’re asking the guy to apologize for mentioning the fact that prison rape is a thing that exists in too flippant a manner

ImpAtom posted:The issue isn't that he mentioned it as a thing, it is that he specifically said it would be something he would include in a 'dark' Batman movie. I don’t think that’s an accurate assessment, he’s talking about the Watchmen setting to contrast Nolan’s movies. He’s also had the opportunity to make this movie and it doesn’t seem like a thing that will happen in the R rated ZSJL. quote:I'm not trying to accomplish anything? Like I don't have some Big End Goal Here. I just like discussing things. If I had one wish related to the Snyder Cut it would be to get Leto removed from the movie so I could watch it and not feel so crappy about it but that ain't happening on the SA forums so it's mostly discussion. if I let some of my anger at the Leto thing leak into other things I apologize for that, but it's a pretty sore spot for me. Well then I apologize. I do think the Flash thing was a bit confrontational but in the end NBD

Well as someone pointed out after the initial video it just kinda went dead. Like no press release, no statement, just complete silence. I mean I think it’s pretty clear cut he assaulted someone and would never try to speculate beyond that but that’s definitely been their strategy to just hope it goes away Edit: regarding the Miller thing since a few posts passed by

Like I'm sure there's many out there defending Joss Whedon as well, which is just as weird. I’m not even sure if there’s a single poster on here who likes his entire filmography. Maybe teagone? I like 2 (hopefully soon to be 3!) of his movies. I think it’s just a bias effect where we are in a thread(s) talking about a movie we are excited about? I honestly don’t think it’s anything more than that.

The weird part is that this person keeps saying "for those of you saying he is an alien, he was raised like a normal person in Kansas!" which, fair, but this is missing the point that even beyond his strange origins these are also strange circumstances. Like "I know exactly how someone raised in Kansas would talk to a billionaire dressed like a bat whose car he just wrecked with his body, and this ain't it chief!"

John Wick of Dogs posted:They ordered that shorter version well before it was previewed I think The way I understood they ordered it cut down on the strength of the advanced sales. So it wasn't a matter of "we love this so much" coming out of previews as much as it was "we can make more money if we cram in an extra showing". I don't think quality was ever an actual consideration.

It would have been so easy to provide more detail in the actual article, or even leave the loving thing totally neutral (i.e. "Clemons was cut from the theatrical release") without specifically adding the intentionally misleading sentence about Snyder. It was a jab plain and simple.

KVeezy3 posted:I don't even think it's technically correct - did Snyder even make a 2 hour in which this excision took place? It didn't seem that way to me from the recent Vanity Fair article. I mean, let's just for the sake of argument assume that they can and have verified that that specific cut happened under Snyder's watch, and he begrudgingly cut it on his way to trying to reach the 2 hour goal, before giving up and leaving. That's still a ton of context left off the table. It would be like doing an article on the Snyder Cut and saying "Zack Snyder had previously decided to leave before finishing". Technically true but leaving out so much of the story, that it's effectively worthless pandering.

Joe Manganiello literally* runs a massive ongoing celebrity D&D game where he reportedly has bins full of minis that he can pull out any possible creature from, so if someone's like "my Ranger's pet is a Dire Wolf/Blink Dog half-breed from the plains of Faerun" he could pull out the perfect mini for that. So while it was maybe just a googling mistake it's also fully possible he has read that specific fanfic. *or else he has a very elaborate branding plan to make himself look like an even bigger nerd to appeal to a very narrow demographic

Yea it’s an extremely low bar to clear. Josstice League is 1/3 over saturated footage from another director interspliced with 2/3rds footage filmed in a rush to build a different movie around that footage. There’s scenes that would look lovely for a tv show.

Zaphod42 posted:I could believe that Snyder makes a really great comic film. What's especially hard to wrap my head around is that its the same movie as Justice League, just the Extended Edition with a few minutes here and there restored and maybe a bit of overdub, and somehow that transforms it from a downright stinker snoozefest into a really really solid superhero movie. Well good news, the theatrical cut of Justice League was 2 hours and about 75% of that was Whedon reshoots, this new one is a full 4 hours. It's really not the same movie with a few extra minutes and redubs.

I think it's possible and even probable that Zaphod just came in here without knowing the history of this topic and how we had to argue with a bunch of more actively hostile people saying all of the poo poo we now know to be 100% true was even possible for the past several years I think as a whole the thread tends to have a bit of a hair trigger but it's also hard to tell if its just because 10 people start replying at the same time and then it seems like we are dogpiling (also wonder if it has anything to do with the worldwide MS teams and office outage which is why I'm posting way more today lol)

Yea Flash/Flashpoint is a cluster right now. They just officially cast Iris (the woman who was already cast as Iris in Justice League but was cut but is now back in the Snyder cut) and they also cast Supergirl but they got rid of Ray because of his investigation. A year ago it seemed a smart bet that they were doing Flashpoint as a way to reboot some of the stuff that was obviously going to be going away (like Affleck as Batman or Meera leaving) and explain stuff like Joker and new Batman movie, but now all this poo poo seems on flux.

John Wick of Dogs posted:My official pre-Zack Snyder's Justice League DCEU rankings: 1) BvS 2) Man of Steel 3) Wonder Woman 4) Shazam! 5) Aquaman 6) Birds of Prey 7) Suicide Squad 8) WW84 not even bothering to count JL'17 because bleh And similarly up to item 7 I basically like all the movies, 3-6 in particular are pretty clustered together for me and the order could change depending on my mood that day. Suicide Squad is firmly below those because of studio fuckery but it's got enough of the interesting ideas left that I can put it on and be entertained. WW84 is once again well below SS and past the "this is bad" dividing line, and JL doesn't even register because of how bad that is. BvS being #1 is more about personal preference, I recognize MoS is a more solid film overall but holy moley does BvS get gonzo. I honestly like Wonder Woman's entire first 2/3rds enough that the eventual shoddy ending doesn't tarnish it much for me. It maybe even does the ragtag camaraderie better than Captain America: First Avenger, the extended cast is amazing, etc. it just has a dumb end boss fight is the one super glaring flaw. Shazam! similarly was a lot of fun despite some of the pandering. The family aspect is legit great and something that I think hasn't even been handled that well in any other super hero movie. I also if I'm being honest don't really agree with the oft repeated complaint about the Billies acting differently. The adult Billy acts a little more exasperated for a bunch of the run time mainly because he is immediately dealing with wilder stuff (first his transformation, then demonic bad guys showing up) but otherwise a lot of their mannerisms are traded pretty well IMO
