I'll leave you to your ramblings and attitude. Rough week. I'm changing storage units My work is moving me So too much to do in not enough time I have jury duty next week. Some idiots keep vandalizing my workplace (So maybe changing locations isn't a bad thing) So, yeah, it's been a lot of pressure. And then this same old, same old DC vs Marvel crap. Sorry to hear that. And yep the extremes of the DC v Marvel are tiresome.

I had to tell a coworker (very hard grader) to skip it, but I hope they can follow up from where it left off to actually work as a series. I want a real Superman movie. BvS wasn't that.

It did but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Each to their own. Cavill is contracted to wear the cape for at least one more time, whether that be a Superman movie or as part of the JL Ka Tet we have to wait and see.

The Avengers was a crappy movie. Why copy a piece of crap like The Avengers. Justice League is a much better movie than The Avengers. Why indeed...

That's a biased comparison made by an MCU fan and is completely invalid. It claims that "the woman recruited a hero who saw himself as a monster". That's false. That never happened in The Avengers. Black Widow didn't recruit Hulk. Black Widow blackmailed Bruce Banner to join the team. So the Avengers weren't recruited and didn't form the team voluntarily like the Justice League did. The Avengers were forced to join the team through blackmail and coercion.

That's a biased comparison made by an MCU fan and is completely invalid. It's by Screen Crush. They do all kinds of videos about all kinds of movies. No apparent bias. Besides, does bias matter when you have cold hard facts on your side? Black Widow didn't recruit Hulk. Black Widow blackmailed Bruce Banner to join the team. So she recruited him with blackmail? It's still recruitment. " Agent Natasha Romanoff is sent to Calcutta to recruit Dr. Bruce Banner to trace the Tesseract through its gamma radiation emissions." Wikipedia "Despite orders from the World Security Council to proceed with Phase 2, Fury sends Agent Natasha Romanoff to locate Bruce Banner, who has been living in Kolkata, India as a doctor, and Agent Phil Coulson to recruit Tony Stark; both geniuses are recruited to help locate the Tesseract." MCU wiki. "When Thor's evil brother, Loki (Tom Hiddleston), gains access to the unlimited power of the energy cube called the Tesseract, Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), director of S.H.I.E.L.D., initiates a superhero recruitment effort to defeat the unprecedented threat to Earth. Joining Fury's "dream team" are Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), the Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner)." Google. Face it, JL copied The Avengers in many significant ways.

Also, the video claims "an alien left the planet and the world was vulnerable to an alien attack." That's also false. The world was never in any danger in The Avengers. All it took was 1 nuclear missile from the military to defeat all the Chitauri. Seriously, how can any alien invader be considered a threat to the world when all it takes is 1 nuclear missile from the military to defeat all of them?

Wow, a rape analogy right off the bat. You sure are desperate.

Wow, a rape analogy right off the bat. You sure are desperate. DC-Fan eats nuclear missiles for breakfast. How could a NUCLEAR MISSILE take out an army of aliens when DC-Fan picks his teeth with them? JL copied the Avengers beat for beat and it still failed and there's absolutely no denying it.

1 Nuke fired through a wormhole that just happened to hit the right mothership that stopped 1 wave of scouts. The real invasion hadn't even started when the wormhole was closed. All it took to stop THIS invasion was Steppenwolf getting scared. Pathetic.

Personally I am glad Warner Bros didn't copy 'The Avengers.' If the DCEU is to compete with the MCU they need to do something completely different but 'Justice League' like 'Batman vs Superman' and 'Suicide Squad' was way too early and they should have had 'The Batman' movie after 'Man of Steel' followed by 'Wonder Woman.'

The Avengers were forced to join the team through blackmail and coercion. So Supes was resurrected against his will. He SAID Bats wouldn't let him live but he wouldn't let him die. Not unlike Coulson had to die to recruit Stark. None of the others really knew Phil. That death cut Tony to the core. Yet Fury can count the people he trusts on one hand so Coulson lost his right to rest in peace on the whim of one paranoid leader. One the video missed.

If you watch that video, they copied a lot. Even resurrecting Supes without his permission could be seen as similar to Coulson. Phil said his death would bring the team together. How? Banner & Cap didn't know him. Maybe Hawkeye & Widow knew him. Thor was in it to get his brother But Phil's death cut Stark to his core. Changed his outlook-not unlike how Supes dying seems to have cut Bats to the core. A certain amount of guilt. And I forgot entirely about Loki catching that arrow/Steppenwolf the middle. It's a good argument.

The Avengers were forced to join the team through blackmail and coercion. Of course no one in the DCEU would stoop so low as to resort to blackmail to form their team. Well except Batman...didn't he blackmail Amanda Waller to get the info to help him track down the rest of the JL.

That would appear to be the case.
... and after Wonder Woman copied The First Avenger.
No wonder JL is tanking. Movie goers have caught on to what the DCEU is up to. No one wants to watch a poor imitation of a good movie.

An interview with the cast and crew in Empire magazine an issue or so back actually acknowledges similarities with The Avengers...particularly the Infinity Stones/Tesseract and Mother Boxes
