I’m with you on the “massive success” conclusion being way off base, but BvS is going to creak over the $350m line. It only lost out to The Boss by $223,566. It’s less than $4m from the $300m line. It’ll make that before Wednesday.

Let’s be clear about this. Batman v Superman is a massive success.
Agreed. The difference is all too obvious between “carefully crafted” and rushed to make a buck.
I care about Steve, not just Cap.
Well... thank goodness that didn’t happen!
Unbreakable touches on this. I still think it's the best superhero movie out there.
Daredevil so far has done a better job of telling a Superman story than anything Snyder’s put out. And season 2 w’ Punisher and Elektra tells a FAR better BvS story.
Daredevil has touched on it pretty well, and it explains a lot of the darker aspects of his driven nature.
Right? It actually sounsd like a really interesting scene, and it could’ve given a lot more background as to why Superman is so damn stoic and almost withdrawn all the time. Can you imagine being constantly bombarded with agonizing cries for help and knowing you can’t possibly save them all? They could tie it into the…
Exactly. One of my favorite things about Netflix Daredevil was how his superpowers were not just a tool for him to be a hero, but also a driving force. He can’t unhear the horrible things that happen to his neighbors. Now imagine Superman hearing all that crap, plus the strong moral code of the Kents and the…
That would’ve been a far more interesting Superman movie than what we got in either this or Man of Steel.
I mean, that’s obviously not a movie Zack Snyder is EVER going to make though.
The more the“unbeatable, emotionless, jerk to the kids, master strategist” Batman version evolved, the less interesting he became.
Ah, saw the quote. Poorly constructed, but I still think “enforced diversity” would not be the colorblind utopia we are all shooting for.
I haven’t seen his quote, but wouldn’t “enforced diversity” kind of actually be racist? It certainly would be the opposite of colorblind.
Yep. Most of these are “I don’t agree with you, so you are dumb” type arguments.
Yeah, I don’t find any of these comments all that controversial. Some are unfortunately phrased, and some might be grating because there are a lot of people that hate to be reminded that others (i.e., the beautiful and rich) are living more enviable lives, but on a scale of 1 to Kanye, these are barely a blip on the…
I sort of read that statement to mean that it’s somewhat racist to assume that black academy members will automatically vote for black actors, and that any solution to the dearth of black nominees that consists of simply adding more black academy members would thus be relying on that same sorta-kinda racist assumption…
You misunderstood his stupid comment. His stupid comment is, wouldn’t it be racist for black academy members to always be nominating black actors? Or, perhaps, isn’t it racist for us to assume that black academy members will nominate black actors?
Too sick to comment really, so I’ll just agree with you and leave this here:
