I'm saving my schadenfreude for the news on the movie's box office returns.

Yeah, but it still worked because, while Thewlis was in the suit, there was an intimation that this wasn't ACTUALLY how Ares looks.

"Which was heavily influenced by [Zack Snyder's complete misconception of] Nolan's Batman trilogy [as a tedious slog of near-constant gritty nihilism] at first."

That actually really bothered me about the Howling Commandoes. They were just a bunch of nobodies (and a handlebar-rockin' Neil McDonough) hogging precious screen time in an already-overcrowded back half of the movie. Most of them barely even had a gimmick, let alone a memorable part to play; they were just there so…

With C.G.I. muscles, one and all!

I've mentioned this before a few times, but Thewlis in a suit WAS the original ending. One test-screening later, they gave him muscles and a Sauron helmet.

(*Rushes to local theater, sits and waits to buy a ticket*)

Miller's already my favorite part of Justice League. Every single clip I see of him from the trailers puts the biggest damn smile on my face.

Whether or not it can be two things?

This is EXACTLY why I still love seeing movies in the theaters: because just as often as you get a crowd that ruins the movie, you can ALSO get one that makes the experience even better.

"Rocky Vee— that was the fifth one! So… Rocky V… plus Rocky II… equals… Rocky VII: Adrian's Revenge!"

YES! THIS.

Lol! Fair enough. I'm just sayin' I don't care for the prequel set-up… but knowing Marvel, the movie's gonna be a lot of fun one way or another.

"I don't think Vision's statement means (or even implies) that there had never been any superheroes before Iron Man."

At least he got kicked off of Iron Fist season two.

Or seasons-one-through-three Arrow.

Pretty sure I saw an acrobat in the background of the circus scene wearing the classic red-and-green Flying Graysons/Robin outfit.

I just… I want The Flash to be fun again. That's all.

Thank you for pointing out the ONE potential upside of making this a prequel. If this '90s setting doesn't pay off with a Ms. Marvel introduction in the present day, I'll be sorely disappointed.

I guess no matter what universe you're in, Barry Allen just cannot stop himself from mucking around with the freaking timeline. God DAMN it, Barry…
