October 28, the year of our Lord Zack Snyder - two thousand and seventeen. My name is Lord Death Man, and I hate the MCU. Wait, no, that's not entirely accurate - I dislike the MCU - yeah, that's better. To say that I hate it would suggest that it has some power over me which compels me to denounce it every chance I get - on the streets, in the pubs, the clubs, the bars and - most importantly in cyberspace (aka the dark side of town). Friend, let me tell you. Let me talk some. It's not my fault that I'm smarter than the vast majority of the movie-going public that seems to enjoy this tripe so much. (Although they really don't enjoy it, and they just don't know it, deranged lemmings that they are). The comedy is low, the color-grading is dull, the music is generic, the acting is sub-par, and the entire venture has a formulaic lackluster feel to it. Those poor dimwitted fools, if only I could make them see! The DCEU and Fox films, by comparison, pay closer attention to the central tenets of classical filmmaking - I should know, I've studied them intently. In fact, I could have been a filmmaker myself but, I found my real calling in internet-based critique. But, I digress, seeing one of the Fox films or the DCEU films is a supremely satisfying experience that rewards the thinking man - the man of substance. Friend, let me tell you. Let me talk some. While we're on the subject, those MCU fans, they're not quality people. In fact, I might go as far as to say they're not people at all, they're more like mindless automatons that consume whatever is put in front of them. It's up to me to minister to them. It's up to me to tell them just how low they are - each and every day. My authority comes from a higher power, and that is why I am here today. It's a shame really, theses MCU dolts don't even know their bubble-gum scented franchise is about to be spat out by the public like the flavorless rubber composite that it is. The very next film in the franchise will be its undisputable demise - I guarantee it. I've got my poison pen raised and dripping with venom... Comic book movies are my one true passion and watching the MCU debase them, year after year, is too much to bear. Superheroes can teach us so much about life and how to live. The lessons they impart rival the wisdom of the Biblical and Quranic narratives. This genre isn't just dull entertainment - it's vital, vibrant and life-affirming. We must treat it with the gravitas, and reverence it deserves. Everyone would see that if we could just get rid of the MCU. Friend, let me tell you. Let me talk some. Hee hee hee...

I hope Justice League is good, but I lack faith.
Been disappointed so many times...

I hope Justice League is good, but I lack faith. Been disappointed so many times... Really, merh? I'm sure JL is going to be a well-executed film but, I'm not expecting a watershed like the Avengers. What did you think of Wonder Woman?

I hope Justice League is good, but I lack faith. Been disappointed so many times... Really, merh ? I'm sure JL is going to be a well-executed film but, I'm not expecting a watershed like the Avengers. What did you think of Wonder Woman? I "discovered" Jason Momoa at the Game of Thrones panel at CCI International the summer after his season was done. He was funny coming up with different ways to ask to be brought back. So I went to see Conan in the theater & enjoyed it for itself & his performance. I didn't feel the need to compare him to Arnold. So I want JLA to work for Aquaman. I am an old gal. 57. Just got out of lunch at Buca to celebrate my baby's 27th birthday (coming Wednesday). So I never thought about it, but I was never really a Batman fan. I liked Burton's for Burton's take. I liked Superman, but only saw the first 2 in theater. But I watched Lois & Clark & the first 5 yrs of Smallville. Never really thought about being a fan. I always favored Marvel. To me Marvel heroes are humans with super hero jobs on the side. Their personal lives matter to the story The DC crowd are more heroes with secret identities to hide in to work up into the next hero gig. Bruce Wayne existed to gather info for Bats or as a joke panel in the books. So I was surprised how turned off I was by man of Steel commercials. Did not see it in theater. My baby said I would not like it & was right. It had a chance. I say Cavill has what it takes when they let him smile & BE SUPES. The parts of BvS that shine are the ones where he can do that-where his love for Lois-a character I never really thought about-shine like the bath scene. So JLA is really dependant on if they fix their Superman problem & If Aquaman-a character I remember nothing of & consider a Namor rip-off (fricken Marvel!) Works for the actor. WW. Struggled to watch the old series, but never really caught that many was. Never been into her. Supergirl. I love the tv show for that. I found WW to be very derivative of First Avenger. Rogers saves a crew from behind enemy lines & the Howling Commandos agree to be his sidekick in a bar. Diana's innocence to the world was not that different from inexperience Steve Rogers. And what is it with Steves & planes? Don't you think they should have changed at least that? So the movie was ok. Better than some, but not high on my comic book movie list. The Crow is much higher. So is Burton's 2 Batman outings. I put the tv Constantine higher.

So is Burton's 2 Batman outings. I put the tv Constantine higher. Jason Mamoa is a decent actor. I think his interpretation of Aquaman is going to dwarf what we've known about the character before his "reinvention" in the comic books. RDJ did something similar with Iron Man. Aquaman could be the Iron Man of the DCEU (as Wonder appears to be their version of Captain America). I like Batman but, only in the context of his world and adventures. When he gets lumped in with the Justice League, he's so out of place that it's almost comical. I've never been a JL fan but, I do like some of the characters individually. No interest in Wonder Woman at all. I didn't even go to see it. I prefer Supergirl - which the DCEU hinted at early on and never delivered on.
