Loved the art in the movie.

The '78 film is virtually perfect, but it'll be really cool if the new one is something more like Legend of the Guardians https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wq3EAVEnW8Q

Depending on how Alita: Battle Angel does, anime and manga are a distinct possibility. We've already gotten Ghost in the Shell and Death Note in the past couple years.

I feel like a Magneto who really loving hates the Serbs might not be the box-office dynamite Disney will be looking for.KVeezy3 posted:A search for truth and justice is hardly limited to existentialism. Man of Steel is structured using Plato's Republic, with Krypton being the 'Ideal City' with programmed breeding. Superman having the codex parallel's Plato's writings about how an ideal city is structured in the same way as an ideal soul; he internalizes the lessons of his people and emerges to give humans an ideal to strive for. I agree that Krypton is utopian, and so horrifying in that, but I don't think the comparison to the Republic goes much deeper than that. I'd have appreciated a Zod monologue about the appropriately Kryptonian musical forms though. Sartre's talk of not being able to depend on other men is in terms of justifying your own actions outside of yourself; he's talking in response to a utopian trend in Marxism, whereby faith in historical materialism and the character of the proletariat obliges you to do the good work of being in the appropriate party, and fighting for the success of such a party, basically in the model of the Bolsheviks. Sartre insists on limiting our view to what has actually happened - and in this sense he's been borne out historically, because whatever the Russian revolution meant, it was not that we can depend on our fellow men to carry on socialism after we are dead. Batman V Superman has a little in the way of this criticism - Superman's actions in Man of Steel have not inspired humanity, Rather, they have chosen Fascism, and Doomsday, and the Superman statue. The ending is hopeful that this trend has been averted, that people will "look around [themselves]" and see Superman. I'm using Sartre for all my references because he's pretty succinct and I know his work better, but Snyder is probably thinking in terms of Christian existentialism, and the hope is that man will freely chose faith in [s]God[s] Superman.

No gently caress it did, it's a mainline Star Wars movie in the Disney era. The moment one of these doesn't make 500 million on its opening two weekends is the day Disney goes into panic mode and takes the series behind a shed

Yeah, measuring any movie against Star Wars is what leads to studios deciding everything needs to be Star Wars. It's an outlier, the moment Lucas had kickstarted the franchise again with the Special Editions (twenty years ago now) the entire thing has been turned into this alarmingly large aspect of American pop culture. Remember, originally, after Jedi came out, the series faded from memory, becoming just another thing in a larger tapestry, leaving a heavy influence and that being the legacy. Then George did a one-two of re-release and prequels and late capitalism seized upon it and has never let it go, and now instead of this heady thing of the past that changed cinema forever, it's this weird ever-present thing that vacuums up money like nobody's business and is in the hands of the (also alarmingly) most trusted and ubiquitous entertainment company on the planet. Justice League's gross is embarrassing on its own. But, compared to Star Wars, so is pretty much everything else released this year.
