It's grown on me. I'll watch it purely for entertainment value because it's so bad it's so good and funny in hindsight because of what they set out to achieve. It's really just nothing but a huge spectacle that means nothing and really has no depth to it

yawn formershamd is not banned yet. yawn. You posted on the MCU board, so expect answers from Marvel fans. And for all the crap the MCU may get for being formulatic, at least they're breaking from it. The X-Men films have always regurgitated the same plot line of mutants being persecuted and being an allegory to being gay, over and over; i.e. mutants are bad, here's plot line A that well do such and such to them and the X-Men must stop it; or humans are evil and here's plot line B where Magneto finds another way to destroy the human race and the X-Men must stop it. It's literally been that since X2. The first two did it really well, but the series continue to regurgitate that same plot line to death. First Class and Days of Future Past are arguably like MCU films and what a potential MCU X-Men film could look like. They both took on more fantasical elements, especially visually-wise and have their fair dose of humor to it.

... is emotion. Even the non-MCU Marvel films were always better at it than DC. And it's one of the reasons why the MCU is so loved, even with a basic and generic plot. You can have a silly story or a convoluted one, a CGI overload, but as long as you're invested in your heroes, you can still have a really good film, because it has heart. And that comes from having really good emotional beats.
No DC films has really captured this level of emotion than this scene. And Hiddleston really stood on his own against a Shakespearan actor like Hopkins in this scene alone. It's part of the reason why Loki is a fan favorite. Tony and Pepper's relationship has been a nice and slow progression throughout the films and we'll probably even get a wedding in Avengers 4. Regardless of what you feel about the film or Gunn, Yondu's death is still one of the most emotional moments in the MCU. The Dark Knight and Batman Begins are amazing films, and the emotional beats between Alfred and Bruce really help sell it, but outside of that with Rachel and Harvey Dent, Nolan really does not know how to do romance. Rachel's death was supposed to be emotional, but Nolan really squandered it by essentially making Rachel a slut. She loved Bruce in Begins, then wants to marry Harvey in TDK. It just makes her unsympathetic. Outside of TDK trilogy, DC hasn't really had any decent emotional beats.

He wanna go talk about the DC films on the DC boards, fine, go ahead. But if all you're going to do is troll on the MCU board, then get the hell off.

Dude, you're a broken record right now, just showing how upset and jealous you are right now of the MCU's success. That's all you're doing. You want to really get into an actual discussion of what you don't like with a specific Marvel film, and have a reasonable discussion, that's fine. But when you group them all together into one argument against them, you're just jealous

Gah. Sad to see Thor Ragnarok not make it. Why? Ragnarok was an awful movie. Not as awful as Justice League

🤣 The script was the worst part of this remake, a significant downgrade in social relevance but filled with depravity and sketchy cliched characterizations. The direction, especially in the first act was remarkable. Gunn was and always be a hack and a creep. Hollywoods foulest fruit will work nowhere than in the pedo movie industry. Once again, that's your opinion you don't think the remake is good. But the general consensus is that it's definitely one of the better ones out there and a good zombie flick. You're just blinded by your hate right now for Gunn

... for just being plain awesome as a person and as Captain America!! His performance really embodies the Christopher Reeves's Superman! Yeah I know, bullshit thread, but I'm sick of seeing the James Gunn stuff and just want to move on from it. And I know I tricked some of you guys on here. Disney and Feige both made a decision. Move on, that's all I can say.

Is that why DC is so hot to acquire him? lol at the naivety of manchildren believing in shilling garbage-tier media. No major studio can want James "I like when boys touch me in my silly place" Gunn. Especially considering that nobody knows what he has in his personal pipeline. First his creepy 2012 website blogs, then his child rape tweets, then his video of anal daughter-rape jokes, then his pedo networks and pals, then his pedo-themed party photos...what is coming next with such a creep? Especially WB should stay away, DC fans seem not to dig penis turd & nipples dialogue too much and are less tolerant regarding child rape. Also, DC just just set the milestone with WW, importing the known misogynistic creep Gunn (website blogs 2012 etc) would be a giant backstep into primitive manchildism. Super creepy: That's just your opinion that you think major studios don't want him because of your disgust towards him. But multiple sites have have confirmed other studios would still be interested in working with him, including Warner Bros. unless you're going to claim they're all fake even though we just about get all our other comic book film news from those sites.

The School Pays for nothing. The money comes from the parents/guardians. So you're saying when Villanova and Michigan sent their students to play for the National Championship in April, the parents had to pay for the trip? Schools pay for the trip because it's a school-sponsored event and the students aren't there for vacation. The students are there to represent the school. At least everyone on the Academic Decathlon Team except Peter, who had quit the team because he had no intention of being part of the competition and only re-joined the team so he could get the school to pay for his trip to Washington, D.C. Moreover, the movie never show Aunt May paying for the trip so we can't assume that Aunt May, whose sole income has to support herself and her nephew, paid for the trip. And if the school wasn't paying for the trip, then there was no reason for Peter to re-join the team. Peter could've just made up another lie to Aunt May, whom he's been lying to for a long time, to get her to pay for him to go to Washington, D.C. The reason Peter re-joined the team was because the school, not Aunt May, was paying for him to go to Washington, D.C. to be in the competition, which Peter clearly had no intention of being a part of since he had quit the team earlier.You're jealous of the MCU success and nitpicking the tiniest detail for the sake of nitpicking because you're upset. End of story. Get over it

I know what you mean. Honestly i wish it would die down but unfortunately it's the current hot topic for marvel at the moment. This controversy has tarnished MCU forever, just like how DeflateGate has tarnished Tom "Shady" Brady's reputation forever. How has it in any way tarnished the MCU? ItsI just one film that may or may come up. Hasn't stopped Captain Marvel or Avengers 4

Still wondering where it's shown that Aunt May didn't kick in for the trip That's correct. SMH never showed that Aunt May paid for any or part of the trip so we can't assume that Aunt May paid for any or part of the trip. him traveling there didn't cost the school more money as they used their own bus. The only thing it would've cost would've been the motel room. How much or how little doesn't matter. What matters is the fact that Peter conned his school into paying for the trip and then intentionally skipped out on the competition (which was the reason the school paid for the trip) proves that Peter didn't give a shit abut his community. And it was intentional. That's proven by the fact tht Peter had quit the team earlier, which meant that Peter had no intention of being in the competition. Then Peter re-joins the team so he could go to Washington, D.C. to do his own personal things and not because he wanted to be in the competition. So clearly Peter didn't give a shit about the competition and intentionally skipped out on the competition. So Peter conned the school to pay for the trip when he had no intention of being in the competition (which was the reason the school paid for the trip), as proven by the fact that Peter had quit the team earlier because he wanted no part of being in the competition. That's stealing from the school. And since the school is funded by the community, that's basically stealing from the community. if bunked with 2 other people that's no money either. If the motel allows only 2 people per room and Peter re-joining the team makes it an odd number of people on the trip, then the school has to pay for an extra room because of Peter, who had no intention of being in the competition. And if the motel allows more than 2 people per room, the motel will usually charge for each additional person after the 2nd person. So Peter going on the trip, even though he had no intention of being in the competition, does cost the school extra money for the motel bill. Good grief, you're grasping straws right now at the tiniest detail, all because you're jealous of the MCU's success. Give it up. You've been owned more than once in this pointless discussion.

Green Lanterns I'm cool with. Never been my type of hero, but considering Hal Jordan is a pilot, Tom Cruise seems a bit on the nose, especially if its just a Top Gun performance. But I still like the concept of Lethal Weapon in space. I hope they still run with that. I don't know my Green Lantern comics that much, but it'd be even cooler if the story was kinda a mix mash of Lethal Weapon and Training Day, ala Sinestro taking Jordan under his wing. Sinestro was a Green Lantern before turning evil as far I know anyway.
I'd just scrap Suicide Squad for now and do it later. They really got the concept of it wrong in the first one with being the team to take down the next "superman". That's not what the Suicide Squad is. And the Amazo storyline would be a great Justice League story. It feels like a waste to have it involve the Suicide Squad.
I got nothing against female heros. Obviously Margot Robbie's Harley is one the most popular character right now in the current DC films, so that's why they're doing a Birds of Prey. Fair enough, I'm game, so I don't have objections to it. Though, Harley isn't a "hero" really, unless this film is going to portray her as an antihero.
I'm done with the Joker really. They wanna make it R-rating, fine, I'll obviously see the film, but I don't think he really needs his own film. His past and origins aren't meant to be explained in anyway. That's kinda the point of the character. He's insane for the sake of being insane. Any attempt to rationalize that risks really humanizing him and making him sympathatic, especially if it's a fucked up childhood for him. Regardless, I wish they'd move on from the Joker.
Really got no comment on the Flash and Cyborg. Its going to be difficult giving these heros solo stories after coming off from Justice League. Aquaman looks like it'll be good though.
Really hope Cavill sticks around for Superman for MoS 2. He deserves it! He's a great Superman and has the potential of being the next Christopher Reeves, but just under someone else's direction (NOT Snyder). I'm fine with the inclusion of Supergirl, but DC is really lacking in the villain department that can actually be a threat to Superman or the Justice League in general.
Really excited for Shazam! The trailer got me pumped and it looks like it could be one of DC's better films!
