It's possible that this movie may never see the light of day. We can only hope...

Dranzer.

It's not the worst, is it? I mean, he doesn't look particularly great, but...

Threw it in there as a joke because I hate it lol. This is also news to me, so thanks!

Yes. Idk. I've said before that I am very, very, interested in seeing the MCU develop past Phase 3. I don't know how Feige and Marvel Studios intend on keeping me intrigued and wanting more.

I've said too much.

Too many cooks in the kitchen is usually a bad thing. I have 3 other Engineers that have to approve design in my current business (excluding manufacturing feasibility and plant leaders). At my old place, it was myself and 1 other person. Turnaround times are 2 weeks longer here despite being unnecessary.

Obviously there's a lot of continuity within the MCU. Granted, that does "limit" creativity, but a relatively small degree without the MCC. There's definitely more fluidity with guidelines and restrictions. There are things that the MCU is willing to retcon in the purpose for a better film and a better franchise. Superman Returns and Green Lantern have nothing to do with the current DC Worlds blueprint. Snyder helped develop Wonder Woman but had nothing to do with Suicide Squad (which is why onewas a success and the other an utter failure). DC has more contrast between films, for sure, but there universe is also infantile in comparison to the decade-long history of the MCU.

The Marvel Creative Committee basically "destroyed" Joss Whedon prior to their demise. They imposed so many guidelines and restrictions that Age of Ultron wasn't any fun for him to direct. Considering that Whedon was slated to also direct both Avengers 3 and 4, it comes as no surprise that Feige canned the group after that experience.

Dave and Chuck The Freak is the only Podcast that I listen to lmfao. If I were to listen to a comic book Podcast, I would be interested in these: - "Reactions" to comic book movie trailers and films. Speculation on the movies (after trailers). Maybe verbal responses to emails about said trailers and movies. - p00p on The Last Jedi often. - "New Releases This Week". I honestly have no idea what the distribution schedule is for comic books. I know that most are monthly. A lot of bi-weekly. Are they all delivered on Mondays? It would be really cool if you could list them off. This may be a reach depending on how many comics are currently being produced... - "Milestone Comics Released This Month ____". "Superman XXX with the first appearance of Zod" (I should probably know this one...). Talk about the historical importance of the comic, the story, how it impacted the series and long-term relation to the titular character. - Upcoming comics that seem important. Like Superman: Year One. A future first appearance, or climax to an ongoing story, or finale to a small run (like Man of Steel Vol. 2 #6). I'm a n00b so this may all be uninteresting to a lot of people...

Exactly why Kevin Feige destroyed the Marvel Creative Committee after Disney bought Marvel Studios. Exactly why Warner Bros should have never interfered with Zack Snyder's vision for DC Worlds and then canned him. That's the difference in Producing and Directing, though. Feige took a position where he gets a lot of creative control, and elects to provide his Directors with creative freedom. Snyder had more control being both a Producer and Director, but he wasn't given the freedom by the studio and distributor because of this. Imagine a property with Feige as Producer and Snyder as Director...

I don't want every movie to be a happy-go-lucky Marvel comedy. I love what Zack Snyder brought to the CBM business. I love the MCU but I need a break every now and then. If you don't chew Big Red then f&*k you.

There isn't an available "consensus" opinion for the Dawn of Justice UE since Warner Bros chose to interfere late in the game and require a theatrical cut less than 150 mins. My personal experience is that most people think it's close to a perfect movie outside of the "Martha resolution". There aren't storyboard problems or misunderstands regarding character motivations. With an RT Audience score of 63% for the theatrical cut, I can't fathom the Director's Cut receiving less than an 85% if it was the version initially released to the public. If people enjoy dark and serious comic book films, as I do, then they will be interested in my opinions. If they don't, then they should disregard any opinions of the movie, because it is in fact dark and serious.

Yeah... The same thing can be said of every single person ever. "Top-10" means one of my 10 favorite movies. It has nothing to do with "best movies" or "best comic book movies". If I could choose only 10 movies that I could watch for the rest of my life, Dawn of Justice UE makes the cut.

I won't "blast" you, but IMO the Green Lantern movie is garbage because of Hal Jordan's depiction. Someone may correct me if I'm wrong, but he isn't supposed to be a little wimp. With the Green Lanterns being powered by "will", the ring wouldn't select someone like that. I don't ever recall Hal Jordan or John Stewart (or any Green Lantern) being a little beotch. Parallax getting the Galactus treatment was also abysmal. Blake Lively has no charisma, also. Insane that those two got married despite having no on-screen chemistry. Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok) and Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool) learned a lot from being involved in Green Lantern. A lot of bad, and what not to do, that is.

lolwut

My comment references both series. The first movie with Andrew Garfield is really good.

It "solves" all but 1 problem (Martha). The 3rd act is mostly the same, but man oh man, the story is great and cohesive in the Ultimate Edition. It's a Top-10 movie for me. If you don't like/love The Dark Knight Returns and The Death of Superman, though, then the premises themselves mean this movie isn't for you. Zack Snyder pays homage to dozens and dozens of comic books and panels in the movie. It's a f^&*ing dream/childhood come true. I found watching the movie in theaters, that some of the CGI was difficult to follow in the 3rd act, but Doomsday looked realistic to me. I've seen the Director's Cut dozens of times, though, so that may skew my memory. Watching it on a 50/60" TV the CGI seems relatively perfect.

This is the first I'm hearing of this. IMO the CGI is close-to-perfect in BvS. Justice League's CGI is bad because Joss Whedon changed the color profile of the film. This profile is typically determined at the beginning of post-production. All CGI was done to Snyder's darker/blue profile. Once Whedon changed these colors to reds/oranges/purples most CGI had to be re-purposed or completely redone. All of this combined, with refusing to change the release date, ends up in the poor final product. Oh, also, Steppenwolf was originally supposed to look identical to the BvS render. Joss Whedon made him humanoid which is why his CGI looks so bad. For the most part, Whedon is to blame for Justice League's CGI shortcomings. Zack Snyder is a very, very, visual director. He takes pride in his movies being "realistic" in physical appearance. It's a big reason that I love him. His visuals suspend disbelief of reality.

I actually re-watched Spider-Man 3 this summer. The first 90 minutes are quite good. It's the last 45 minutes that are total garbage.

The Amazing Spider-Man 1 was really good IMO. I might like it better than Spider-Man 2.

Her acting in GOT Season 1 is so awful. You're right in that she's a garbage actress for emotions. She always has like, a blank look, on her face. Never happy, sad, angry, content, etc. She must be the most difficult girlfriend in the world to read lmfao.

I personally can't speak to this because my LCS is very small and only orders 5-10 books of most comics. I was hoping they had Batman: Damned (looked for it on Monday) when I learned their stocking habits. I don't resell, either, but I know that I would be severely disappointed if I couldn't buy the latest Action/Detective/Superman/Batman because 1 guy grabbed them all. If I was a re-seller, and an LCS had 9 copies of a cover that would sell well, I would probably grab 4-5 if I can. I just empathize for other collectors and readers. It's really uncool to grab all copies.

Welcome to the boards! I find that most everyone here is patient and very helpful. I'm starting to love this place. You will, too!

I really don't understand the mentality of being a b-hole. Maybe it's because these people have never worked in Customer Service? I worked in the field for 5 years. Now, I am certainly not the nicest person in the world. Most people I know would say I'm a d&*k (but they love me). What's the point? Just to screw people over that you don't know? I personally get into hobbies to make friends/acquaintances, have fun conversations about the hobby, etc. I guess these are just losers looking to acquire product by the cheapest means necessary. F&*k those people. IMO every high school student should be required to work in a Customer Service field (face-to-face like CVS/Walgreens/Rite-Aid) as a Senior to teach kids/teens how to treat people.
