I can't say why people as a whole rejected it, but common terms in discussion of it are things like "joyless" and "grimdark" suggesting that, debate about the exact terms he used to describe it aside, Snyder's comment that people wanted a more light-hearted romp was pretty much on the money

Blood Boils posted:I never liked that bit, it's way more forced than the "is she with you?" quips "Is she with you" us an all-timer comic book movie gag. Im also a huge fan of when Batman is heading back from saving Martha and he's missed all the Doomsday stuff so far, and he says "What's happening Alfred?' and Alfred puffs out his cheeks and goes "...how best to describe it?"

Michael Shannon is the best. I loved one time when an interview veered into talking about Trump and they asked something like "would you like to play that guy, explore his inner suffering, imagine what he's thinking when he's lying in bed at night" and Shannon said "he has no inner suffering, he's having a wonderful time, when he's in bed he's probably thinking he wants a cheeseburger"

Snyder talking about how he came to cast Eisenberg was the best, he straight up said to an interviewer "we talked to him about playing Jimmy Olsen but he's such a wacko I decided to cast him as Lex"

Man Of Steel's structure is loosely based on Superman 78, hence both movies spend roughly 20 minutes on Krypton. 78 probably got criticised for it as well, especially as a big chunk of it was setting up the sequel

My mental image of the two is that WB/DC is always runnign around frantically keeping plates spinning crying and repeating "it'll be ok it'll be ok" while Marvel is just a board meeting of guys going "the supervillain sitcom sucked, the multiverse spiderman sucked, the thor thing sucked" and nodding thoughtfully and just greenlighting the next thing

I haven't followed production of this thing but I am fully invested in the Robot Stag Lord guy. What's his drat deal, why's he got antlers. Hoping for an Army Of Thieves style backstory movie for him

He can approve of mass death in the abstract, at a remove, but when confronted with it viscerally and asked to be complicit in it, he can't stand that. He has too much humanity in him, versus Doctor Manhattan who can only view any event in the abstract, at a remove

Adam Driver is much the same. What is there to be interested in about Kylo Ren? Well, he's played by Adam Driver. That's about it. Oscar Isaac too, but fair enough as he wasn't meant to live past the first hour of the first movie.

A good prescient bit of casting in Watchmen is that The Comedian is a wisecracking soldier who kills his enemies with advanced weaponry, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan who plays him looks like Robert Downey Jr

I caved and watched it. Liked it more than Army Of The Dead, for sure. After all the commentary complaining about the army wanting grain I was surprised to see a long scene full of dialogue where they state why they want the grain

They didn't "do bad". Batman V Superman has the second highest box office of any Superman film. If you exclude it from the rankings because it's also a Batman film, then the second highest becomes Man Of Steel.

It's not really accurate to day Snydersupes "kills" in the present tense. He killed one guy, possibly two (the guy holding Lois hostage at the start of BVS is ambiguous) and several flashbacks establish that he's trained himself since childhood to not harm people. In the case of Batman, his brutality shows how his character has fallen from what he should be. Regardless, it's funny to imagine other movies being held to the standard of "does the hero kill anyone ever". Think of how many people Luke Skywalker has killed!

YggdrasilTM posted:I think that resorting on killing and being then tormented by guilt for it is a fine narrative arc for Superman (it can work only once though). I would be way more skeptical of a Superman that consistently kills in cold blood with little remorse. Hey now, Homelander is great

Neo Rasa posted:He killed Harvey Dent too. This guy can run and jump out of a building after someone has already fallen out of it and catch up and save that person with the bathook or whatever as we see earlier in the movie like c'mon he totally murdered Dent.
