I think most people here who are critical of the DC movies, myself included, would dearly love for those movies to be better than they are. Because they really should be, given the iconic characters that they’re working with.

You can watch the first 30 minutes of a lot of movies and know they are disjointed. Surely this has happened to you, no?

I mean, I would love for a good movie with any of the major (or minor!) DC characters.

Sadly, I haven’t been looking forward to Wonder Woman at all, even after the release of the trailer. I mean, the GotG-style Suicide Squad trailer seemed to hit all the right notes, and we got yet another chaotic overly exec’d bland piece of nonsense. I love Diana, but I just sort of expect most DC movies to go this

As someone who got into comics via DC, enjoy the CW shows as much as anyone, loved the Batman trilogy and even the Snyder directed Watchmen and wrote a very similar post as Paul, it never ceases to amaze me that the default reaction to anything vaguely negative about the DCEU (and there’s shit loads to be negative

There are some things I really like about the soundtrack (I love it whenever Saw and his group are on screen, for instance), but for the most part, the whole thing just gives you Star Wars blue balls.

“As much as high-minded critics might not want to admit it, Suicide Squad was perhaps the most important film of 2016.”

They had no problem doing Robin’s origin, which is just as dark.

To be fair, they said it was “iconic”. And it absolutely is; there are very few film lovers out there who wouldn’t immediately identify that line.

I actually think that it would be a great running joke thru the movie, with Deadpool trying to make sense of Cables background as it gets more and more convoluted.

I know everyone loves The Rock, sometimes ironically, but man, there is no one in entertainment who works as hard as that guy:

Wouldn’t it be great if the US finally converted to metric?

“Come next Wednesday, lets see how what sort of mental gymnastics are required to explain that terrorism can’t be stopped with a fucking hashtag”.

Is it weird I still think of him for his role in The 4400 first
