Are you attempting to say it’s rational to give money blindly to something of notably dubious quality?

God forbid indeed. That’d be terrible casting.

So, what you’re saying is that YOU are the lowest common denominator that gives our society such pathetic standards.

That’s not really how that works.

Just because this week is SDCC, and a bunch of news is coming out about it. *shrug*

But yea, it’s a brilliant human with some gadgets and human weapons, vs a flying Hercules who can move at around the speed of light (well beyond the speed of sound at minimum), has laser eye beams, can freeze things with his breath…

I’m not berating anyone.
I’m simply analyzing the facts and telling you what they probably add up to.
It’s not pretty.

I’m not really putting effort into this. I’m just pointing out the fairly obvious.
Also.....those Star Wars fans saved themselves a LOT of disappointment by knowing it was going to suck ahead of time....

I don’t think it was the animation style that was the problem.
I just don’t think they let it run long enough for people to give it a shot.

DC’s crying as loud as it can. It’s a messy tantrum.

And those are the really obvious, fundamentally stupid and nonsensical badly made film things.

Even if all that was somehow done well, did you see the thing where someone at SDCC asked Snyder how much stronger the LEGO suit makes Batman?
They said it doesn’t give him ANY super strength.
Apparently it’s literally JUST…

And no. It’s not Batman who’s branded. It’s some criminal Battman has caught...and branded.
The super police clearly work for Superman, or think they do.

Then you’ve missed what I said about him working with great writers and directors whose good work he’s attaching his name to.

The Dark Knight Trilogy: two movies Nolan wanted to make, and one movie Nolan was pretty much forced to make against his will after Ledger died.
Not coincidentally, the first two are fantastic,…

Yea, except that all of those are success from being partnered with GOOD writers and GOOD directors.
Whenever it’s just him writing , or gods forbid directing, it’s fucking TERRIBLE.
He managed to make a Ghost Rider sequel that was DRAMATICALLY worse than the first one.

And Blade 1 and Man Of Steel are....not good.
The…

Why should we accept and pay to see shitty movies?

I don’t even know how to respond to the idea that I’d have to explain why any of that is bad to someone....

It’s like being asked to explain why Speilberg didn’t put clowns in Jurassic Park, or why they shouldn’t take the time out of a Rambo movie to explain how guns were invented.

If I’m overthinking this by putting about 30 seconds of thought into it, then I have to assume Snyder and Goyer put NO thought into this movie.
Which does sound about right.

God this movie looks dumb...

God this looks dumb....

No. Fuck that. The recent Thundercats show looked WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better than the original.

Indeed.
His son has turned into a MONSTROUSLY skilled gamer, and one with a critical eye that isn’t tricked by flashy graphics and big budgets into think terrible and mediocre games are good, because he has the perspective on what ACTUAL good games are.
All of which are traits very very frequently lacking in modern…
