Logan gets Oscar nom

It's better than Xavier letting Magneto go again and again, like a fool.

And Erik did the whole "You killed my mom" thing too. But First Class had no balls so they had to make the killer a Nazi.

You have to get over your hatred of Naturalistic Dialog, people don't talk in noxious platitudes like Wonder Woman/Batman/Superman do. After all, I don't see you critiquing anything that comes out of Deadpool's mouth.

It was predictable as Hell, given what we already knew about Xavier.

Unpredictable would've been Xavier killing the guy and then developing a more pacifistic stance later on.

Or Erik killing some guys because he assumed they were Nazis but they were just old Germans.

nah, MCU with it dumbed-down kiddy formula ruined everything including the quality CMB and other franchises such as Star Wars. It will go down in history for being that infamously huge raccoon turd for manchildren. 

Mmmm, that salt. The MCU rescued CBMs after guys like Singer and Nolan nearly destroyed them.

By advocating the stance that anything fantastical or wondrous was bad, and the only way to do a CBM was to suck every last comic-booky element out of it and make it utterly and wholly "grounded" the whole way through, and to make the villains the real stars of the show with the hero as a flat archetype who is there merely to oppose them and not have any character beyond that.

Look at how the DCEU does things, that is Nolan's legacy and his idea of how CBMs are to be done.



You and I have had this discussion before, and you know why I think any of that happened.

Uh, violating peoples' minds, threatening the President like a terrorist and being accessory to terrorism is pretty up there...

He was and still is. It's why his villains are more memorable and dynamic than he is. He's the "Rich Socialite who secretly fights crime" archetype that's existed at least since the Scarlet Pimpernel.



Seriously? He needs his villains to get him to do anything.



Except Ra's, and Joker, and Dent, and Bane. They were all much more proactive than him.

If they wanted to show us a Batman who was really being proactive we'd have stories where he deliberately goes after corrupt police officers and politicians to get them off the force/out of City Hall. This would lead to internal conflict between him and Alfred and him and Gordon.



They were all doing stuff when the Loki thing happened to conveniently get them together. They weren't just sitting around waiting for a threat. And Ultron happened BECAUSE they were proactively going after Hydra at the start.



I've no doubt that Iron Man would've been made with or without Batman Begins, as Marvel was making movies before Begins. Iron Man just happened to be the first time they made one using their own studio.

Thankfully their approach worked and wondrous, over-the-top stuff has become accepted and mainstream which was codified by the Avengers in 2012.

Let me put it this way, if Nolan's approach was used in the MCU then the Asgardians would just be a cult of LARPers in some musty old castle somewhere and Captain America would be some PTSD addled returning soldier who wore a USA Flag T-Shirt and spent all his time fighting a Neo-Nazi Skinhead who paints his face Red while dealing drugs in "Cap's" Apartment Building.

We hardly get any glimpse of his life as Bruce Wayne, but then again the comics ignored any impact his life as Bruce could've had on the stories for decades because the idea of Batman's civilian ID having any importance aside from explaining where he gets his money was alien to them.

IE, no one brings up that Bruce is a white collar criminal who steals from Wayne Enterprises. Not Alfred or Lucius or anyone. Biggest thing we have is that one guy in TDK and he has no moral outage over it. This would be a great example of internal conflict but no one acknowledges this.




No Ra's, no League of Shadow training. No LOS training, Bruce never gets the idea to dress up like a bat. Practically his entire set of philosophy comes from the League of Shadows.



To limited success, which the movie even says. That's why they needed Joker to drive the film. Because Nolan couldn't think of a good internal conflict.



Free publicity? Who knows?



Tony builds something as powerful as a Nuclear Reactor that's the size of a fist, for crying out loud!



Plenty of people were thinking for years that the "grounded" way was the only way, thanks to his movies. Mainly as a way of tearing down the MCU for not being 'grounded'.

You never replied to what I described Nolan's Thor or Cap would be like.
