    That was a problem with the DCEU pretty much since the day after Man of Steel released.

    Ok, I finally got to watch this last night. I mostly enjoy ZS movies. This one was ok, completely average film. Nothing made me hate it or think it was a stinker, but then again on the flip side nothing made me love it and think it was OMG awesome! I'll most likely catch part 2 just to see how it ends up, but I won't be counting down the days to release.

    But guys, I was assured by Feige and a former poster here that Captain Marvel was the anchor and the MCU would fly further, higher, faster than it ever did with RDJ/Iron man. What gives???
  4. media_junkie
    Wasn't he already in it? DS1??

    Bad reviews or not, I have never had a bad time watching a Synder flick. I'll be eagerly waiting to stream this until the day it drops.

    Justice League and Justice League Unlimited are both (newly -- like last month or so) on Netflix.

    I'll give you that, when HBOMax first started they pulled everything, but since Discovery bought them and got in all that debt it seems as if they are dropping movies to whatever platform will pay them. If the decision was WB Studio's alone, then I'd say never, ever, no. But with Discovery having finaly say I'd say, 1% or less (still a chance I guess).
  8. media_junkie
    Never going to happen. Imagine the blowback WB would get if Synder was able to put out a MoS2/JL2 and it just blew up on the streaming service?
  9. media_junkie
    I'm really giving serious thought to dumping HBOMax/Max. It seems as if they are dropping a ton of stuff on Netflix right now.
  10. media_junkie
    Never appreciated how good we had it when Netflix was the only Streaming platform in town and all the studios just let their stuff be put there (for a price). If only we could go back.

    That is my point, anything in comics/drawn or animated can be made to look right. Not so (so far) on the big screen.
  12. media_junkie
    Yeah but then again the Incredibles is animated so it looks way smoother and also our brains could be more forgiving. Like we know animated characters can do all kinds of stuff and we just accept it because it isn't real. Put a real person stretching and while it may look good (which honestly up to now it hasn't) we may still reject it some what because we know humans don't do that and our brains just tell us it is wrong. For example, the Human Torch on screen works because even though he is on fire his body still looks human, no 20 foot long goofy arms. The Thing we can process because we see him as a "monster" and thus our brains are like, "ok he can look like anything". The Hulk, shape and movement of a human (big human but still human). I bet you if they dropped stretchy powers on a "monster" like the Super-Skrull we would accept it better because we wouldn't have to "disbelieve" so much.
  13. media_junkie
    That is my biggest concern, I just don't know how you do stretchy powers without looking goofy.

    Well from what I saw, they didn't really do well by Dr. Who. They had him called out for "misgendering" pronouns on an alien. Disney sucks.

    5 to 10 years ago if you had told me that a biopic about Napoleon was going to bring in more money on opening weekend than the latest Disney animated "Thanksgiving" movie I would have laughed, but here we are.
  16. media_junkie
    Wow!

    Let's see, she brainwashed and held hostage an entire town for months and then basically, no exactly walked free with Monica Rambeau's blessing and went on to kill a bunch of other people. I'd say there was no punishment at all.
  18. media_junkie
    I enjoyed the movie well enough (way better than the one back in the day with the Wayans brother in it), however did it make enough for Paramount to seriously consider a sequel?
  19. media_junkie
    Going to be very interesting to see how pre-sales go and ultimately how well this movie does.
  20. media_junkie
    Yeah, I really enjoyed the film. I also read the book about how it was screwed up from the get go. Interesting book, tragedy what happened to the movie.
  21. media_junkie
    I get what you are saying, but this movie is an absolute flop. $300 million to make plus another $100 million to advertise. Disney/Marvel needed this film to do $800 million at the B.O. to break even. At best this movie is going to do $250 to $300 million. This is going to cost the studio hundreds of millions of dollars.
  22. media_junkie
    Ok, I'll give her props for that. That is an amazingly well adjusted attitude to have.
  23. media_junkie
    You gotta be kidding me.
  24. media_junkie
    I honestly thought the drop off would be greater.
  25. media_junkie
    That makes sense, but unfortunately I think Marvel mishandled him from the get go. 1st time we see him he is killed by a variant Loki on a TV show. Next time we see him he is defeated by ants. Not exactly presenting a multiverse threat there.
