The villains are definitely the weakest part of the show so far. I keep forgetting who Edge is everytime he’s on screen, General Lane is just kind of there and really ill defined on a show about family, and Luthor hasn’t been around enough to make any impression yet and from what we’ve seen of him so far I don’t know…

This has been driving me nuts for some time, but who is the editor on this site who insists on inappropriately capitalizing prepositions and such in titles in every single article. Man of Steel, not Man Of Steel.

Filmmakers seem to feel this need, when making a Superman film, to make it a big, grandiose statement ABOUT Superman, what he means, how he relates to our modern world, etcetera, etcetera. Which results in films that take themselves VERY seriously and tend to be more interested in having characters discuss these ideas…

Subverting the essence of Superman with a dark and gritty take is only interesting if it’s novel, instead of the only fucking way he’s been portrayed in movies and video games since Returns flopped. Let Superman be Superman already.

SHOTS FIRED

Given the many variously evil, miserable, mind-controlled/zombified, indecisive, brooding, aloof and overall joyless versions of Superman there’ve been in the last decade or so, I’m convinced that Lex Luthor is in charge somewhere at DC-Warners. 

so...we need Supergirl to come back?

I hate him as a creator and pity him as a human being (losing your child is not good) and I’m going to pass on watching it.

I grew up in the Chicago burbs so the UHF channels were there and they were wonderfully full of weird local stations. Even with them working you still maybe had 10 stations total but at least one of them was guaranteed to play Godzilla, Kung Fu or Samurai movies on weekend afternoons for hours on end and that is all…

37 channels??

I grew up in the ‘80s and we got 3 channels if we were lucky, sometimes 2 if the antenna froze in the wrong direction over the winter. I would play around with the UHF dial on the TV sometimes but it never really tuned anything in iirc.

As great and unappreciated as Homicide was/is, it wasn’t first. Hill Street Blues and St. Elsewhere from the 80s, Eastside/Westside and The Defenders from the 60s, other shit, all existed before Homicide

He was fantastic.  A hill I am prepared to die on is the “Homicide” was the first prestige drama  on TV, and set the stage for The Sopranos and The Wire (duh). Consistently outstanding, and oftentimes fucking shattering.  It was an amazing show for broadcast television.  I can watch Andre Braugher interview suspects…

I dared to read it, and like his review of the film, it felt a bit like I was in a fever dream; did he seriously compare ZSJL to Road to Perdition, or did I just hallucinate that bit?

Wait until you see the OoklaTheMok Cut where I just replace all Steppenwolf dialogue with “Born to be Wild”. 

And Simon Kinberg.

That’s interesting. Granted I’m more Marvel centric, but I found theatrical release of Justice League to be very nondescript. The slightly better Ultimate Edition of Batman vs Superman was more fun and that still had it’s own issues.

They already got #RestoreTheSnyderverse trending on Twitter...

Just stay away from the review on rogerebert.com where the writer is certain that this is the super hero film Martin Scorcese’s been waiting for...

FOC: The Snyder Cut Is Good seems kind of amateur hour, actually, but I will say that in terms of actual enjoyment I felt watching it, I prefer the bastardized theatrical release to Infinity War.

(I haven’t seen the Snyder Cut. Of Justice League, anyway.)

God willing. But most likely the synder fans (i hate to classify that with all the connotation but here we are) will love it, it will be everything they wanted, they cried watching it; and if you didn’t like it, its only because you’re a marvel normie who doesn’t know an auteur at work now read my 35+ tweet thread or…
