Yes, but it didn't exactly spawn a Footloose Cinematic Universe, did it?

There's no evidence of them stopping it, but there is evidence of some of them trying to influence our toddler president away from objectionable garbage. The voices of a handful mildly liberal business execs isn't as loud in Trump's ear as the voice of Steve Bannon, or the directives of Vladimir Putin, but I believe a…

Actually, I wonder: how many ultraliberal urban hipsters moving from their cities to suburban and rural Midwestern congressional districts would it take to flip the House of Representatives?

Agreed that Apocalypse was garbage, but I think you underestimate the genocidal nature of his other adventures. In X-Men, the machine that turns humans into mutants is a genocide tool—the people affected will no longer be human, and many/most of them might not survive. It's not the entire human race, but his device…

On a serious note, it does make some sense that mind-controlled Nightcrawler could be more badass than the non-mind controlled version. Theoretically, the mind control might have suppressed the self-hating/doubting Catholic part of him that keeps him from reaching his full potential.

Are you saying Billy Bob Thornton's dick is well-written material?

I don't recall anything character-breaking for Mags in X2. Are we talking about him siccing Prof X on the human population? 'Cause that's totally in character for Magneto. To him, turning a human genocide attempt back against itself is just self defense.

You know, I kind of agree with you, but I also tend to think that Snyder thought he was making his Schindler's List with Watchmen, and that this might've been the one time he really wanted to have artistic integrity (except for when it came to casting an actual middle-aged woman as adult Laurie, because ew, gross!).…

Do I look young? I just like having fun when I'm writing in my free time.

"If Ace Hanlon were a real guy, he would have been as far away from that little town as he could possibly be that week - and then made up some stuff later about how he won it."

It can link to a story about Conway and still be a subtweet. It's still considered a subtweet if you don't use the person's twitter handle so they don't get a notification in their mentions that you're talking shit about them.

Amy?

I always imagine the following conversation, after Snyder hands in his first cut of the movie:

I once got cockblocked by Dippin' Dots. I was chatting up this young sous-chef at a ballgame, and I'm making a beer run, so I offer to get her something. She wants ice cream. I go, and the line for soft serve looks at least two innings long. Things were going well, so I didn't want to disappear for an half an hour,…

…and only the Dippin' Dots will survive that war.

This is the precise problem. The Snyderverse movies all want to be grim "adult reimaginings" of DC characters. But they also want the movies to be PG13, so that you can take your kid to see Shooty-Kill-Man (better name than the one he actually has) with a minimum of guilt. It's like the only lesson Warner Brothers…

Notionally, focusing on the Joker as the villain would involve a deeper dive into Harley, which might make her a slightly better character. As it stands, if the movie were less stupid, I'd believe that the awful presentation of Harley is the intentional beginning to an arc they kinda arrogantly see as playing out in…

Agreed. I didn't like Leto's Joker performance, but making him the villain at least gives Joker a reason to be in the movie, and eliminates other crappy characters who were even more pointless. It probably still wouldn't make for a movie in which someone articulates a legitimate reason for the Suicide Squad to exist,…

It's day three of his regime, and still President Trump can't even bring himself to say the word, "CancerAIDS."
