Man, the police station scene at the end set to Reckless Love's 'Monster' was so good. The cinemaphile might nod knowing, pushing up their glasses and murmur how Gunn was drawing on his experience from Slither.

Rhyno posted:Katana is from Batman and the Outsiders, she's not traditionally a member of the Suicide Squad. A large chunk of their lineup are former Flash villains. Yeah, I think she's connected to the Squad these days mostly because she was in the movie for whatever reason.

Rhyno posted:I believe she was put on the team in the New 52 which was before the film. Yeah, they'd sort of been pushing Harley into an anti-hero role by that point if I have the timeline in my head right (so highly dubious) but she was super close to a Deadpool-level breakout and she'd developed a pretty strong fan following as well so being put on the team with all the villains made sense, which I'm sure is why Ayer picked her.

cant cook creole bream posted:When she died like that I felt really bad for her, especially since that was the first time we saw the butterlyening. But mostly it was surprising to have those cops suddenly be central in the A-Plot. Up until then they were basically just on cleanup duty. Basically the relatable civilian perspective on this superhero black ops nonsense. That routine worked quite well, so I didn't expect Gunn to blow it up like that. Well, ACAB. (All Cops Are Butterflies.)

I know the smiles are supposed to be goofy but that makes the scene work even more in a good way, harkening back to Goff-as-Song complaining that you have to remember how to smile each time and every one is different when they take a new host.

Senator Drinksalot posted:Snyder and Jenkins, isn't ww84 roundly hated? Hated is probably a little strong, but people do seemed to be pretty put off by it on the whole thanks to some weird script choices (especially involving Steve Trevor) and just seems to be regarded as kind of a let down after the first movie which people mostly thought was good.

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:I don't mind it in Peacemaker. I noticed it in GotG but it didn't bother me. It completely turned my off Thor: Ragnarok though. Dude just could not let a single serious moment happen without some dumbass annoying quip. It does feel like Gunn's got a better balance for it than any other Marvel regular director. He lets the real genuine moments sit there.

Well in Slither you'll get somebody realizing that even after everything they still love their wife, but the person doing the realization is Michael Rooker playing a slimy puppet made up of an entire town melting into him so yeah.

The only thing that bothers me a little is Cassandra Cain in the movie because it's just grabbing a name that could be anybody else's. Everything else is pretty dope. Liked Harley attacking the police station. And Huntress.

I don't know about you but I'm somewhat unwilling to take the word of an alien bug that would burrow into some kid's brain, killing said kid and then pilot the body around like a tiny man in Voltron without a second thought's word on what it has to say about the greater good.

What's really cool is seeing Bill Finger credited and Bob Kane not be. That never happens. I mean, what people think Stan Lee did to Kirby, Ditko, etc., that's what Bob Kane actually did to Finger when it came to Batman.

zoux posted:Scrubs who somehow create mindblowing, impossible physics devices is as common as capes in superhero books. Shocker was a high-school dropout who was nonetheless a technical genius who designed his shockwave gauntlets. The Top is a guy who taught himself how to spin really fast and in so doing supercharged his own brain in order to allow him to make techno top weapons. Sauron, famously, has invented genetic manipulation tech that is so advanced he could cure cancer. But he doesn't want to cure cancer... Yeah. To put it in a DC context, White Dragon is about on the level of the Flash's Rogues. Some of them came up with their own tech, like Captain Boomerang. (It is tempting to let people think I think Digger invented the boomerang, so do that if you want.)

Automata 10 Pack posted:James Gunn might be the director who gets comic books the most. Like while everything else feels like you’re watching shows or movies that feature intellectual property from comic books, while his stuff feels really feels like they are the spirit of comic books come to life. Gunn by his own admission thinks they're one of the dumbest things ever but loves them deeply. This is important.

Gunn also feels like he's able to make most of the Marvel Formula where he can give you something sad or intense and is content to let it hang without immediately undercutting it with a joke which doesn't seem like other Marvel directors will (maybe that's encouraged because Avengers did so well which absolutely did that and was a product of You Now Who, I dunno).

DogsInSpace! posted:I have an older sister who hates MCU movies with the exception of three: Winter Soldier (she says it’s like Bourne) and the GoTG movies. Gunn is really good at finding those characters you like and giving them real emotional moments that somehow hit hard. I never though Yondu and Peter’s arc would hit me so hard but it still does. That final part of the Ravager Funeral where Rocket looks out. Gut punch. I love that surly trash panda. If either of you are big into games you might check out the Guardians video game that was really good and apparently sadly undersold so it's probably easy to get cheap. Very much along the same lines.

I consume/watch their content, but I don't follow them on social media or really look up their histories or things like that. Basically I care about them to the extent that they're doing their "jobs" of providing me entertainment content. Beyond that, I figure their lives are their own. I don't want to get into their lives/histories because I wouldn't want anyone prying into mine.

His presence is like some weird feedback loop where the presence of one assumes the prominence of the other, but the truth is neither seems to work in their bigger roles. I also believe this was Johns' idea. It was always weird - or maybe not, given Johnson's apparent ego - that he wanted Adam to have nothing to do with Shazam despite that being one of the more well regarded DC flicks. Probably didn't want him in Cap's shadow or whatever.
