I thought Grundy. Also, I hope we see some version of a cowl and cape in the season finale. Even if it's tucked away in a corner of the cave. I couldn't find a clear picture of him, but it could be Grundy or Killer Croc. Skin looks scaly around the chin, but the line across his forehead is usually shown on Grundy.

Agreed. She is actually one of my favorite characters in the current Marvel crop. Just finished "Hitchcock." She was a terrific Janet Leigh. Even in her most WTF movies like "Under The Skin," she dominates a role no matter how un-commercial. I have yet to see "Lucy" though. I couldn't stand "Under the Skin," aside of course from her being in the buff. I'm a huge science fiction fan, but my girlfriend isn't, and somehow that equated to me hating that film and her loving it.

I'm interested enough in the character to want to read this. Just checked Marvel Comics Online and I can't tell that it's available there if you're a subscriber.

Was that true in the comics as well? I never read X-Factor, so I don't really know. If that's his back story in the film, it certainly makes sense for him to sport a costume that's reminiscent of Egyptian gods than that dumb costume from the comics with the big "A" for a belt buckle.

If he has been around longer than humans, what exactly is he a mutant of? I meant to say human civilization, not humans. In the comics they say he's a few thousand years old, whereas the current oldest known sapiens fossil is about 160,000 years old.

I so want this to be as good as - if not better - than Days of Future Past. The concept has more legs. Time travel is always fairly goofy in any film, but the idea of an immortal mutant who has been around longer than humans have is a compelling one.

How unrepentently sexist! Just because she doesnt respect the subtle differences between words doesnt mean that all women feel the same way. I'd say her profession actually more likely involves significantly more interaction with a specific cross section of the female population that shares a similar level of sensitivity towards these issues, which actually weakens your point rather than strengthening it. Why? I share their sensitivity towards feminism, but that doesn't mean I think that people who are still stuck in gender stereotypes harbor a hatred for women. Nor do I have any reason to think that a majority of feminists believe that.

Holding you to the same standard you're holding Snyder to...what a horribly sexist statement!

Because it's perpetuating the classic stereotype that women are only interested in one thing, you chauvinist pig, you. If that comment was sexist towards any gender it was men. But hey, it related to sex, so therefore it's "sexist," and since the topic is sexism against women, let's just assume it somehow twists back in that direction.

Didn't he do that with pretty much every movie thread? Not sure, but it wouldn't surprise me.

Never underestimate the power of enduring butthurt. Good point. Logan510 continued to feel the need to click on the "Prometheus" movie thread and take a steaming dump on it for years after its release. A deserved steaming dump. What a bore. I can see doing it for a few weeks, but why click into a thread for a movie you hated for YEARS? The answer is obvious--some people take delight in peeing in other people's Cheerios. I anticipate this thread living a long, contentious life beyond the release of every film this summer.

A few days ago he agreed that it was sexism he meant, not misogyny. I don't disagree with him that that sexism was present, I just disagree that it was present enough for it to stick out. Plenty of films have at least some sexist elements, and Snyder's two Superman films don't deserve singling out for theirs.

I think this is what it comes down to with those that appreciated the movie. I had trouble relating to #3 because unfortunately, my mother's name isn't Martha.

This is a discussion forum, not a blog.

Or Man of Steel. I'd have a hard time coming up with a female character in ANY superhero movie who kicked more than Faora did in that one. Yes, if you're a staunch feminist, there were a small handful of fairly minor eye-rolling scenes, but it was a testosterone film. There wasn't enough to characterize it as primarily or even uncommonly sexist.

Sexist...slightly. Misogynistic, no--I've seen no evidence that Zach Snyder hates women in his films. Sexism and misogyny aren't synonyms.

There are only 3 good movies on this top 10 list There are at least six on there. Dark Knight and Spidey 2 are the best two superhero films ever made.

Not sure if he'll substantiate the misogyny idea, but in case he doesn't, the usual argument is that sexualized images of women such as Snyder loves to put on screen--as many if not most directors do, by the way--objectifies them. When women are objectified, it tends to undermine their sense of self-worth if the person being put on-screen personifies a level of beauty that most women can't achieve. Women want to be Amy Adams, or Gal Gadot, but most just aren't born with bodies to achieve that, so to perpetuate the imagery is implicitly misogynistic. Having said all that, Snyder just likes extremes of humanity regardless of whether it's a man or a woman, so the usual radical charges really don't work with him. He does the exact same thing with men as is evident in Cavill or Affleck's extreme size and conditioning. You might equally charge Snyder with being misandristic (hating men) by putting imagery like that shown below on screen making most men feel horribly inadequate.

It embedded in it's DNA. Once you see it, it stands out periodically. What are some examples? You beat me to it while I was typing. Brevity for the win.

It sounds it without him expounding on it more; I certainly don't get this assertion that Snyder had some obligation to make Wonder Woman and Superman equal when the comics rarely do. Zach Snyder does sexually objectify women in his films, but sexual objectification itself is not necessarily misogynous. There is a radical feminist view that it is, but I vehemently disagree with the perspective and enjoy discussing that topic.

Looks and sounds like he's 13 but is actually 19.
