We are in the closing days to it’s official release. It’s been 10 years in the making to see them get to this point and I’m beyond hyped.

 

Also who was that poster who constantly was hating on Marvel movies? Did he fully disappear once justice league was completely shitty? It’s a foregone conclusion that the MCU is just better

That poster wasn't me but I thought Justice League was fine, not really sure what all the hate was about. The MCU movies though have been knocking it out of the park though, no question.

Social media reaction from folks at the premiere are very positive. Going to try to avoid twitter and what not starting Thursday as there are some horrible DC fanboys looking to spoil it for everyone.

I think DC/WB should just pretend like the Snyder movies never happened and start from scratch. It's pretty amazing how bad he did compared to what Marvel has done.

Wb/dc tried to rush out an EU. Marvel built theirs over years and multiple movies before we saw the Avengers team up.

lol justice league and batman v superman were terrible, but they're still better than several mcu movies

i thought wonderwoman was fuging garbage and i'm mad i watched it

 

I don’t think any Marvel film comes close to the disfunctinal mess of story, editing and tone that is BvS. Justice League is at least “fun“ in that it sort of embraces how shitty it is, which I think was all Whedon trying to salvage Snyder’s fug up. 

Wonderwoman was not nearly as good as the hype, but it’s in another league compared to Snyder. How do you ruin Batman and Superman lol.

both thor movies, the first captain america, the last iron man movie, were awful, and even both avenger films had terrible acting and not as good as everyone said. they're on par with WW probably, which i wish i hadn't watched

even though i enjoyed spider-man homecoming, having adrian toomes be liz's father was just too damn much to swallow, like the MARTHA scene from batman V superman and the ending of that film just dragged out too long.  i feel like i could just stop watching the film after michael keaton gives peter the talk in the car before prom and not miss anything

i don't have high hopes for DC to right their ship, though

James Wan is pretty great so maybe Aquaman won’t be trash. Getting rid of Snyder was the best/easiest move WB’s made so far. Hire good filmmakers and have some kind of vision via a Kevin Feige type and it shouldn’t be that hard. 

Jared Leto’s juggalo Joker and Eisenberg’s Lex Luther are all kinds of awful. Just recast like they never happened.

DC's biggest problems are that they rushed to put all their heroes on the screen and bad casting. Leto's Joker is terrible. Eisenburg's Luthor is terrible. Will Smith's Deadshot was just Will Smith that is a good shot. Like someone else said, DC has the 2 most recognizable heroes in Batman and Superman in the same movie, and its hot garbage. Meanwhile, Marvel is making movies for Ant-Man, Black Panther, Dr. Strange, Iron Man, Cap, Thor (all were B-List characters at best before the MCU) and killing it.

Not to mention Guardians of the Galaxy! Those are the best Sci-Fi movies to come out in years (and frankly I'm sad they're being dragged down to the MCU. They'd be fine as standalone sci-fi, punk rock adventure films.)

I think what's working for Marvel is, since Phase II, they're rolling the dice getting filmmakers with vision to make their tent-pole movies. Sure they kicked off the MCU with established names like Jon Favreau and Joe Johnston. But look at the resumes from some of the Phase II films:

  • Scott Derrickson (Dr. Strange, which is probably the most interesting and ambitious MCU movie) was mainly known for making low-budget horror movies and thrillers. Sinister; Deliver us from Evil; The Exorcism of Emily Rose (which is a GREAT movie, but would you really think it was a springboard to a comic book action movie?)
  • James Gunn (GotG) came from friggin' Troma making zero-budget schlock! Then he made some weird stuff like Slither and Super, but damned if those aren't some of my favorite movies of the last 5 years.
  • Jon Watts (Spider-Man: Homecoming) made Clown. A movie about a guy who turns into a were-clown... I'm not joking.
  • Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok) is a Fiji who made comedies with Jemaine Clement. He also made "What We Do in the Shadow," a mockumentary about the day-to-day life of vampies in New Zealand. I insist that you watch it.

The problem with the DC Universe is they're rushing through their Phase I to get to Phase II. They're hurrying through the character roll-outs just to get to the team-up films. I mean, they just jammed Flash, Cyborg and Aquaman into the Justice League movie without any build-up! They needed to play it safe. Roll out a couple safe Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman movies with big name directors like Hack Snyder and David Ayer. Don't ask them to do too much, don't make the movies too big in scope, just make good films and get the franchise off the ground. And then turn it over to some new blood to take on the sequels a build to the team-up.

      Best to see Icky in the position we drafted him in to see if he continues making progress. All signs point to Canales/Morgan staying on board and so decisions on whether to move him elsewhere on the line will probably be done during the offseason. Personally, I'm more concerned about a more long-term answer at safety and Moton's spot. Love the guy but he's a FA after 2026 and he'll be 32 by then. Kinda has that sign of having to let a player walk one year too early.

      All I am saying is IMO if we were going to rework or extend his deal I think it would have happened by now.   Just feels like they are going to bite the bullet and let it run its course

      I mean me speaking honestly per normal- RT is not even on my radar for needing fixing....it sorta should be, but I feel its around 20s in "hey this need attention". Motown could have another 5 years of solid play leftd in his body and mind. I know something needs to done with his contract, its had money pushed back into the late years like three times now. He got like a 38 million cap number cause rhule, frittterererer and this past season Dan deferred money.  I think he's been "healthy" for most of his career and seems to work hard at being able to play. He's a good player to have on the team. I got no idea how this plays out.   We need to have friendly bet about Christs next contract- I say he gets 8million per and 40% guaranteed. If he gets below that, you are the true kungfu master- deal?
