I won’t lie, I’m glad these movies are failing. They’re cynical and calculated and they really don’t respect the fanbase by treating them as serfs who will slavishly gobble up any slop the studio lays in the trough. Maybe they’ll start to focus on what works, what made the good adaptations so good. And a great place

This film made less money than any other DCEU movie. Less people paid money to see this than Suicide Squad. That is insane.

If Snyder was indeed fired, then using his daughter’s suicide as a cover for leaving the project is abhorrent.

The Avengers may have dated because there have been so many of these movies by now, so I can understand someone watching it for the first time recently thinking its no big deal. But when it came out there had never been a superhero movie quite like it.

I was at a Toys R Us right around Christmas and they already had the Justice League stuff on a discount rack, then I realized what a complete non-entity the movie was.

It’s a funnier, less gloomy film than Batman v Superman, and the group dynsmic works fairly well, but for such an expensive film the CGI is pretty ropey, and it all feels a little hermetic and lacking in anything approaching relatable human emotion (in contrast to say Black Panther or Spider-Man: Homecoming).

I don’t absolutely detest Justice League, as many do, but to put it anywhere near on par with the first Avengers film is pretty ludicrous.

So, generally speaking, is JL worth a viewing? I thought WW was okay but just got angry when watching BvS. Part of me wants to watch it just as a generic comic book/action movie fan, but I feel like if all I get is similar anger like I did at BvS I might as well avoid it. I definitely would watch a documentary on the

You’re joking, right?

I don’t think the problem is that they chose a villain that was totally unknown to the wider public, the problem is that they made the villain the worst stereotypical bad guy trope possible. His motivation was generic, his powers were unmemorable and no effort was made to make the character compelling in any way.

He was born to be wild.

I suspect in the two-movie version, Steppenwolf was just a harbinger of Darkseid.

I still feel like one of the biggest, most fundamental errors of the movie was in choosing Steppenwolf as the bad guy. Given how many iconic villains DC has, choosing one who’s a deep cut even among the sub-set of the sub-set of the sub-set of people who care about the Fourth World mythos just seems to be an obvious

I sense a vested interest here.

Or maybe because they’ve introduced an important black woman who Han used to run around with in the comics and now the movie is showing a black woman who Han used to run around with? I mean if we didn’t know who Donald Glover was playing, it wouldn’t be that weird to assume it was Lando.

I had just assumed Thandie Newton was playing Sana from the current Star Wars comics.  I’m a little disappointed that isn’t the case.

the yin and yang S shield is a brilliant “why didn’t someone thing of that before” idea. Big improvement on his original shield.

Lol south jersey is so fucking racist. She didn’t learn anything new in Alabama.

They don’t, they’re just mad she did so publicly while mentioning the sorority explicitly.

They don’t think she’s too racist, they think she’s too blatant. It’s low class to say these things on camera in a medium that’s easily traceable.
