| If people wanted to see old comic stories rehashed by DC then maybe we’d get films that are good. Wonder Woman takes the tone and direction from what Perez did with the character in comics and mixes it with some of the original tone and hope found in Donner’s Superman film. The movie works because people want heroes that they can look up to and reflect what they have found in the comics of their youths. Jenkins gave us that. They don’t want a suicidal Batman, a moody, whinny Superman, or heroes that get twisted into Watchmenisk type characters. Why would a parent want to expose their child to that type of hero? That's why the MCU works and so far the DC film universe doesn't. Quote: Originally Posted by GAC Why is the Predator in a DC film? |

You wanna make it Marvel vs DC because you can't be intellectually critical of Worlds of DC in a vacuum. If you didn't have preconceptions about WODC, you may be able to turn your brain on when you press play. Suicide Squad is an exception to the rule. You already knew that, which is why you edited in. |

| I can’t say what everyone else is thinking, but when I wish DC followed Marvel more, I only mean in a grand plan way. The marvel movies mostly tied together pretty well delivering a pretty decent conclusion. DC seemed to piecemeal things, and unfortunately, Snyder lost his kid which didn’t help continuity. I think DC could do something similar with Darkseid, but I’m not sure I’d want them to, now. I’d have to hear how DC ripped off Thanos, which would be irritating. I’d like to see them reboot, and tie their movies together a little more. I’d like to see the members of the justice league built up a little more than one movie. That sounds easy, but in reality, getting actors to play a character for 10 years might not be as easy as I’d like it to be. I’ll definitely watch the Snyder cut, and I’ll check out the new Batman (duh, it’s Batman!) At the end of the day, I’m a comic fan so more movies is always good if they make them entertaining. |

| @theCapraAegagrus Might be "wrong" to you. However, that doesn't make you right or correct. As I pointed out any movie, that 1) has the 2 biggest heroes in the DC Universe, and steals material from Miller that can't get over the billion dollar mark in a total comic fanboy marketplace must be considered a flop. To then go back to the same "director/writer/producer" and expect anything else is absurd. Someone at Warner Brothers final came to their senses and changed directions once it became clear what he was attempting to do. BTW, please defend Sucker Punch and share with me how the guy you love who write, directed, and produced the movie gave us such a hot steamy pile of dog s--t? Did the entire movie seeing public miss the thought provoking masterpiece that you must see it as or do you also acknowledge it as a steamy pile of crap too? All I can write that is positive about Synder is that he films movies in a way that can be visually striking. The edit you referenced was an afterthought which doesn't make it any less valid. BTW, I edited this post too. I failed to put the @theCapraAegagrus in it. |

| Nice straw-man. This has nothing to do with Sucker Punch. Judging 1 thing by comparing it to another is wrong (especially when they're entirely different outside of what type of media they draw inspiration from). Mental gymnastics don't change that. It's like comparing your current GF to your ex. Sound fair? Nope. It's wrong. WB was/is obviously wrong, since they released the BvS Snyder Cut, and are now doing the same - to an even larger scale - for Justice League. You miss this...? Real fans want the real thing. Haters lost. |

| Hey, maybe the Snyder cut will improve the mess that is Justice League. If DC gets its act together, great. Imagine if they just worked on their quality control? What if they consistently made movies as good as Batman Begins & Dark Knight? But I don’t think Snyder is the answer to getting things back on track. What if we could get David Fincher to make a Batman movie? |

| @theCapraAegagrus I get it now. You are a Synder fan boy. If one can't acknowledge the mess that Sucker Punch is and was then one really can't be objective about anything the man produces. Any discussion becomes suspect. The DCEU needs to be shifted to other creators while the direction needs to be given to someone that changes the tone. The edgy dark thing isn’t working. The best 2 DCEU films are more like MCU films, i.e. Wonder Woman and Shazam. Warner Brothers should take note of that. |

I know... that's one of the reasons I don't take my kid to see DC movies. I guess mid 40's parents with pre-teens and disposable income aren't the target for their movies?? ¯_(ツ)_/¯ I know we can't have Christopher Reeve or Linda Carter, but damned..do they need to make even the costumes darker?? |

| Edgy/Dark doesn’t work for Superman. His Villains? Sure. But not Superman. Even in Dark Knight III, which was incredibly traumatic, all He wanted to do was show his daughter humanity’s potential. |

Quote:Originally Posted by KatKomics Some people actually like movies that have meaning. Did you miss the part where BvS is heavily inspired by TDKR? Mature content. Not all comic books (and movies) are made for pre-teens. That's a good thing. It's Rated-R after all... |

Quote:Originally Posted by 00slim Superman isn't "dark" in Worlds of DC. Not sure where you came up with this. Even after Bruce Wayne confronted him, he sees the news of people in trouble, and saves people. Struggling with the reaction of not living up to the "god" figure is not "dark" or "edgy". It's realistic. He can't save everyone and he has to find a way to live with it. Character development. |

| BvS isn’t more mature. It’s heavy-handed. There’s a difference. You liked the DCEU. Cool. But you continually imply that your taste is elevated over that of its critics. And that if people didn’t like it, they didn’t “get” it. Snyder laid everything out in the open. It wasn’t subtle. I’m glad people enjoyed it. More comic book movie options is a good thing. I’m sure there are things we can agree on, BvS just isn’t one of them. |

Quote:Originally Posted by 00slim "Superman villains can be dark." "...But his movies can't have darkness." Do you realize what a contradiction that is...? Imagine Thanos not having 'dark' motivations and not committing genocide. LOL. Your circular logic makes this a meaningless conversation. Obviously the "dark" works because BvS Ultimate Cut works, and the Snyder cut is coming. Haters lose. MOS is in no way, shape, or form "dark" or "dower". Superman is constantly full of hope and motivation. Zod is the dark character. Ready to destroy a planet's inhabitants to rebuild his own. "If there's a chance that surrendering saves the people of Earth, shouldn't I take it?" Some people just don't get it no matter how much evidence is presented. Have fun not having fun about such greatness. |
