I understand your point here, I promise I do, but I think it can be easily argued with Watchmen in that they didn’t have powers in the series —which was the entire point (obviously aside from Dr Manhattan, and I’m not sure you can argue those were ‘powers’ so much as a change to his state of being)—yet they’re…

The Snyderverse was murdered on the way to its home planet.

Wait, is that an option?  I’d like that.

I don’t know if I’d use the term gaslighting per se, as I think it dilutes the meaning of the word when it has a real function in personal relationships, but the general idea is that we’re already in the middle of a reset for DC, and have seen at least two other “resets” in the past decade. I’d swear I’ve even recall…

I knew this would happen. I called it the minute they announced they were pulling away from the DCEU: Some executive is going to come in, look at Marvel, get dollar signs in their eyes, and decide to give it another go.

Putting aside (for the moment) the astounding mess this guy is creating, it is baffling to me that these companies seem to be ignoring two key lessons from the MCU: be patient, and be fun. The original Iron Man was a big experiment, and it paid off, but people also had a chance to breath between that and Iron Man 2, an…

The previous 10-year plan was going all right before the first Avengers movie dropped and made over $1 billion. Then Justice League became a “right fucking now” plan. Safe to say that Snyder’s “Gods on Earth” take on the characters could have used the extra runway.

Hey I love the comic but after the disaster of the Paper Girls adaption I think this one is spot on even if the story is shuffled a bit and antagonists added for tension. Of course it’s clear that having Gaiman involved in any adaption of his work is key to quality now anyway. Good Omens was fantastic too.

If this shit fucks with The Batman sequel I’m gonna be pissed

Yeah, Bats could really use an exposed midriff to show how serious he is about crime prevention

DC has gone back to draining all color out of their costumes, and it’s just weird that the dudes are all foot to neck covered up and then there’s Diana.

Man, those are some ugly costume designs.

This is a big failing of the reviews here and has been for a long time. They all can’t help comparing whatever they are watching to “the source material” when usually less than 10% of the people watching the show have read it.

Gaiman has said he regrets part of how he wrote that one, so with him being personally involved with the show, it’ll probably have some changes.

After binging more than half of it, I’m pretty comfortable (definitely more than with Dune) saying newbies should be able to follow it just fine.

I honestly can’t wait for all the people who are about to be calling the show “woke” because they assume there’s no way a comic from one of the Big Two in the ‘90s would be stuffed this full of LGBT material and the show writers must have shoved it all in...and then discover that no, it really is all straight (so to…

Have never read comics and planning to watch tonight as the trailers looked great. Will report back.

I’ve not read the comics but I enjoyed the first two episodes I watched this morning quite a lot.

Ok, but I really am curious how someone who hasn’t read the comic would react to this, since presumably that’s going to be the majority of viewers.

“but how much praise can you really give something for doing what is essentially the bare minimum in replicating an acclaimed work of art and transferring it into a different medium?”
