I really liked how this is its own thing but also feels like a continuation of some of Man of Steel's score.

The remix of MoS' "First Flight" into a triumphant action theme for the climax is so loving good.

I already know I'm going to be just a little disappointed by Rebel Moon because stuff like this and Snyder directing it is making my hype level for it way beyond reasonable lol

I know, I'm gonna have to go into hype isolation for a few months to tone things down. After reading that Vanity Fair article I'm hype as fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

The biggest issue on Flash visually, shared with JL2017 and WW84, is that the saturation is super high to try and make it look warm and welcoming. It makes things that look normal seem otherworldly and things that look a bit off seem ridiculous.

And things that are really off look like goddamn X-Men Origins Wolverine-level previz/temp effects.

Just finished watching MoS (didn't realize it was made 10 years ago), and it's so perfect. I love everything about it. The nods to Edgar Rice Burroughs' Barsoom chronicles, the chitinous/insectoid design of Kryptonian ships, the chemistry between Clark and Lois, and the gravity behind Zod. It's such a human story, and I like how it seems to emphasize that the stoic character Clark puts up as Kal-El is just a facade. It's not who he is. He's Clark, someone who cares and someone who struggles, and Cavill plays him perfectly.

I'm going to watch BvS next, and cap it off with ZSJL.

That's the trailer that sold me on the film. I watched it like a dozen times when it came out.

Me too, that trailer is a goddamned masterclass.

What the hell does “no Superman film has been a complete success save the original” mean

It means someone has an extremely high opinion of Superman And The Mole Men.

Seems peculiar to me to level consumerist critiques at a movie extoling the virtue of letting go of useless possessions and engaging in charity; to call a series an insulting product when it has a throughline -- yes, nostalgia -- that it engages with and resolves (as of that review) in a satisfactory manner.

I was going to write a lot more about this but I'm not going to waste my energy on the William Buckley Jr. of film criticism.

Kirk Drift is an article I find more relevant with each passing year. Pop culture actively misremembers itself as part of the process of redirecting ideas that are inconvenient to capitalism.

See also, every successive Iron Man appearance throwing away any inconvenient character development from his previous ones. It's not just a phenomenon, it's a policy.

Yeah, I remember the Zombie Purity Squad going with "28 Days Later doesn't count, they're merely infected" and not willing to hear any counterclaims about NOTLD, Return, etc., then really blowing their collective stack when Dawn '04 came out. It was very "Not My Superman" of its time.

Signing this, there's plenty of room in the world for all Jokers.

I get what's behind it, but first, it's simply a poo poo graphic. (I know it's supposed to be, but, Poe's law.) Second, the "intent", as posted by Ayer himself, was not to have it. So I ask, why was it there? Did he have no say over his own movie, his own character designs?

If reality disagrees with you, clearly reality must be the one in error.

So you're saying David Ayer has some form of schizophrenia?

He says he actually wanted the Joker we saw in that pic he just posted, but instead ended up with the one we saw in his movie, because he couldn't tell the difference or something?

I put on The Two Jakes last night, then got too tired to finish it and watched the last ~50 minutes this morning, did I just commit some great cinematic crime?

A functional understanding of genre is media literacy and not the same thing as expecting an encyclopedic dissection of a comic book character's publication history.

It's ok, Doomsday actually didn't die.

Doomsday died and resurrected, there's a difference.

Neo Rasa posted:

People will say Superman II is the best Superman movie and Superman and Lois gleefully murder Zod/etc. in that AFTER THEY'VE BEEN REDUCED TO HAVE THE POWER OF JUST REGULAR HUMANS!

I had someone on twitter argue that that was fine because the Donner Cut fixed it when Superman went back in time and undid everything, as if orders of magnitude more people hadn't seen the original version and were just fine with Superman throwing a powerless Zod into a bottomless pit with an actual smile. Comic fans are ill and canon is the disease.
