You can't disrespect the Not Another Teen Movie star like this.

I love that movie.  I was in high school when it came out and we quoted it way too much.

I just bought tickets for opening weekend and all seats were available.

That hurts me. Well hopefully it's good because I can't see Shazam being put into the rebooted DC for at least 5-10 years.

I think this is more of the same Loki death schema. Deaths to grab the emotional purse strings. I think so.

The big difference between this and Infinity War is no one will really care about the character deaths in this. You've introduced multiverse so they could always come back and I'm sure no one is really going to be that sad for Falccap....

Why did they make this movie?

I honestly wondered this same thing when it was announced.  They were smart last time to place the movie right before Endgame after they teased she would have a big part in it.  There's no hiding her now.....

Well this might really suck.  I don't think a lot of people will watch Shazam as I see it being ignored by a lot of people who aren't even giving it a chance.  I'm hoping I'm wrong.

Spoilers....

I saw this yesterday and thought it was ok.  I've really enjoyed the Ant Man movies especially the daddy daughter connection and in this one the daughter was pretty horrible to Scott.  Early on I was really put off Casey and was confused if we were supposed to actually like her (constantly belittled him, accused him of things, acted like he was dumb, etc.).  Majors did awesome as Kang and in my opinion the strongest part of the movie.  I would've really enjoyed having Scott's side characters back and thought the movie was hurt by not having them especially Luis.  Overall I'll give it a 5/10.

Best animated Spidey we've had.  It's a shame it ended when it did they had enough for at least 3 seasons.

I felt like episode 5 was the strongest one yet.

And this is where I think Gunn is making a mistake. Instead of trying to tie the existing movies, he's decided to start all over again. I really don't think it's going to work. I just think it's a bad path with the properties he's bring on.

As someone noted in the Black Panther thread. Focus on your A list properties. He's not.

We should have 2 Batman family movies.  It's crazy we haven't had a proper Robin origin film and a Under the Red Hood film yet.  

Any chance if this does good, this gets connected to the new DC universe?

Interested in this but man it sucks we won't get a young Grayson (his first name got flagged on here) and his transition to Nightwing (so many great stories about that).  I also have a good idea that they're going to shaft Tim and he won't be in the movie or mentioned.   

Took my nephews to see this a couple of weeks ago, I enjoyed it a lot.  If anyone is reading this is on the fence of going to watch it you should.

I'm a big Birds of Prey comic book fan (loved the Chuck Dixon run). So when I saw the Birds of Prey Harley Quinn horrible movie, I forced myself to finish it and I have regretted it since.  This is the worst movie in the past 20 years that I can recall especially when I compare it to the source material.

It seemed like a movie that was thrown together without much thought. Basically, the first one was a success, here is some money, give us a sequel in 12 months.

This is exactly how I would put it.  I was pretty disappointed in it.

Since the plan and details is not going to make its way out until next week on DC Studios, so much coming out is rumors and click pieces.

But on the story where Jenkins refused the rewrite the --script she had been working on - including sending a definition of 'character arc' to one of the co-CEOs - seems to the be the latest story floating around.

 

I'm hoping this was cancelled as long as Patty Jenkins is attached.  WW 1984 was HORRIBLE.

I'm surprised they're not doing a high school Blue Beetle. I'm still excited and hoping this makes some decent money.

My only complaint is release it sooner before Ezra does anything else crazy...

I think that The Flash TV show sucks, and there's no way in Hel you could convince me to ignore the show and pretend that he's a different Flash for the DCEU. You also can't convince me that the show would be good backstory for DCEU's Flash. If Miller is going to be recast, it cannot be Gustin.

It annoys me that they just didn't replace Barry with Wally. That is the simplest way to recast the Flash.

Are there actually any hard facts about the FF movie?

All I see are different actors, directors,writers and time-era's.

If they want to avoid another disaster, then cast the actors, choose a writer and director, nail the premise of the movie, then film it.

 

Just seems like they are throwing stuff out there and waiting for feedback.

 

Personally - I'd like a non Dr Doom movie.

 

Surely with Namour appearing in BP 2 then it would be sensible to crossover to the FF movie and add Kang to tie in the new Avengers castings and set up the Kang + Namour V Avengers + FF double movie finish like they did with Thanos.

 

It worked, so stick to tried and trusted IMHO (without the damn comedy - keep that within the Thor movies please!)

 

I actually never thought about a non Dr. Doom movie but it could work and they just introduce him at the end.

RIP JDF.  I remember getting off the school bus and running home to watch MMPR, Jason was my favorite Ranger until Tommy came into the picture and destroyed them.  I will forever be thankful to JDF for making my childhood better.

at the rate these shows are going, is there any hope that this one will be different

Unfortunately I have the same thinking.  I was really looking forward to Moon Knight and I thought at best that one was ok.  Anyone know why they're not bringing back Deborah Wolf? I thought she did a great job on the netflix Daredevil.

Two years? By then we may see Snipes back as Blade..........

I'm cool with that...

Doom Patrol and The Boys. Destroying every Marvel TV show today. Once upon a time there was Punisher and Daredevil but then the rights reverted to Disney.

I loved the Punisher show, I was so disappointed it was cancelled. Jon Bernthal won me over ( I originally wanted Thomas Jane back).

I just started Season 3 and am enjoying it immensely. While different from the comic, it is fairly faithful.

Perhaps I missed it, but how is it Grayson was sent to prison under his own name, escaped and is now back on the force? Did eveyone just give Garth a pass for killing the researchers?  Superboy puts dozens of cops in the hospital and everyone just shrugs it off?

No clue about Grayson in prison but as a HARDCORE Nightwing fan I gave up on this show 2 seasons ago.  I just needed it to be decent and this was CW bad.

Agreed. It was a weak movie that dragged on too long.

I am going to go to BP 2 with my usual comic collecting friends so hopefully it is not as bad as I am worried it will be. My plan is to go in with extremely lowered expectations so it has nowhere to go but up. 

I really enjoy Black Panther the character but the movie I wasn't a fan of.  I thought Black Panther was the most likable during Captain America Civil War (he actually had character growth and it showed how wise he really was).  The BP movie was more about Wakanda than BP and it suffered as a result.  Now I don't get to see T"Challa any longer so it sucks.....
