Dr. Strange was never funny, but Stan (and later Roy Thomas) always gave The Beast some witty dialogue in X-Men, and The Warriors Three (particularly Volstagg) had a lot of amusing bits in Thor. Hell, even in something like The Hulk, there'd often be a funny caption or two to break the tension. So yeah, humor was…

The most important thing is that you're on Tony Stark's side most of the time (and when you;re not, you still get why he's doing what he's doing). In BVS, you're watching two characters you want to like doing things you really don't want them to do for almost three hours. I'd say the movie has more wallowing in…

I think a lot of people really under-sell how rare it is to have a big movie like that play that strongly for a crowd. I see it happen maybe once a twice a year, and lately it's been the Marvel movie bringing the house down more often than not. The expression "If it was easy, everyone would be doing it" comes to mind.…

It's a pretty odd thing to fixate on, honestly. Is the argument supposed to be that because Civil War wasn't nominated for any Academy Awards, and Suicide Squad was nominated for one for make-up, that Suicide Squad is the better film? I'm genuinely not tracking the thinking here.

You're obviously not bringing enough head-canon into the movie, which is the only way it's defenders seem to be able to make all the nonsensical motivations and arbitrary plot swerves make any sense whatsoever.

It does all track. i guess technically the character doesn't have an arc in that none of those moves have ended his story, which seems to be what some people are looking for. There seems to be an aspect of annoyance with them that a continuing adventure character keeps having continuing adventures, which is a…

Not really. Marvel comics were always funny (Stan Lee had a hell of a way with a one-liner), and DC comics never were, at least not until that brief blip in the '80s when the funny version of Justice League was their biggest book.

The Avengers had about three or four of the biggest laughs I've ever heard in a movie theater.

Plus,the motivation this ascribes to Lex Luthor only makes sense if you actually believe that he's really concerned about Superman possibly not being good, which—-come on.

"Whatever you do Clark, make sure it's ultimately against your best interests. That's the Kansas way."

That's pretty much it. Marvel likes their characters and is excited to share all the cool stuff they have with movie audiences. Warners looks at the DC universe and says "How can we fix this?".

Compare the way people talk about Civil War vs. the way they talk about BVS. With the former, people talk about the choices the characters made. With the latter, they talk about the choices the screenwriters made. This is the big difference between the Marvel and DC movies overall, I think.

Oh my God, that movie…I think it may have more truly stupid things happening per minute than any movie I've ever seen. Literally nothing anyone does or says makes any sense at all.

How is Kubo eligible for visual effects? It's an animated movie. Unless there are people in it somewhere—-I didn't see it.

Yeah, thinking that was a make-up note is a serious mis-reading of that scene.

Counter'counterpoint: Guardians Of The Galaxy! Counter-counter-counterpoint: Ant-Man.

I've heard all the little girl Wolverine does is go around chopping off dicks the whole movie. The Mary Sue has already given it ten stars.

No Coneheads?

There's a script. Anyone who signs on to this movie is just going to be a traffic cop.

Damn it, I just saw this after saying almost the same thing!
