Good for you if you're really into this, but the "Release" campaign was peak nerd scree. Im a socialist....and Latino....so....gently caress off? Zack makes movies that speak to my political leanings and ethnic background more than most white directors of his type so this argument is entirely and utterly pointless to try and make with me.

Still lol that they brought on Joss Whedon almost exactly around the time all of his cultural cachet evaporated.

It's legitimately impressive (or the reverse of impressive, I guess) that he wrote and directed two of the biggest blockbusters ever and it seems like he's kinda toxic now.

It seems like he burned most of his bridges getting Age of Ultron out the door and Warner Brothers took him on because he was the only person with the right kind of experience willing to do the nightmare job of being hatchetman on Justice League. When that bombed as well it was time's up.

I've always felt this fixation for snyder was weird but ignorable. I've felt no need to put any stake in it. However,Whale Vomit posted:Yeah such a shame to see a white male director have his artistic vision stifled and Ayn Randian themes removed. Good for you if you're really into this, but the "Release" campaign was peak nerd scree. If that's how you're going to fire your first shots, maybe I'll watch the snyder cut after all.

Snyder seems to somehow have the opposite of Whedon's fake woke cred that evaporates under the slightest scrutiny.

It still blows my mind that Snyder got like a week of straight hatred for the entire internet for saying he didn’t see anything wrong with BvS but when Joss Whedon said the same thing about his absurdly sexist Wonder Woman script nobody batted an eye.

Yeah, like seriously. And then comic book fanatics love Justice League Apokolips War where their heroes are torn apart violently on screen and things are gloomier and grimdark than anything I’ve ever seen from Snyder. I think they only want superficial nonsense and nothing that dives deeper because diving deeper means the way they perceive their heroes and comic books in their head is messed with and it makes them uncomfortable

I've seen it on Sideshow Toy's FB groups - these characters can only be done ONE way to them. If you dare deviate it's GARBAGE in their eyes. Pattison is the latest to get poo poo on. These people are so closed minded to different takes on these characters. The other poo poo exists, there is still media being produced with the boy scout Superman and no kill Batman. So what if someone gets inspired to make a tale. So much gatekeeping by these groups of people amplified by the internet groups.

I'm willing to bet a lot of #RtSC people are general DC fans who liked it, and probably plenty of the people who poo poo on Snyder and DC hate it for the same stated reason* they hate DCEU stuff *I still obviously think they're wrong about this part, and that Marvel's cynical pop corporatism is in actuality much grimmer than Snyder and Nolan's "hope can arise out of darkness" narratives

Allen and Polanski aren't really relevant (or possibly even known) to the "post angrily about superhero movies on the internet" crowd. These folks weren't born, or were literal children, when Allen and Polanski were getting up to their various sex criminal bullshit.

I thought I read somewhere WB might have been using the reaction to Apokolips War as a barometer to guage the potential reception to Snyder's Justice League? Or was that just a straight up unfounded rumor?

I like Apokolips War as the capstone film to a mostly forgettable movie series. As such, I found a majority of the DCAMU New 52 continuity features to be on par with most MCU films.The DCAMU was clearly modeled after it (some of the films even had post-credits stingers that teased upcoming movies).

I didn't hate Apokolips War, but I also outright like dumb gory cartoons. It reminded me of an anime OVA from the late 80s/early 90s and I'm pretty much always on board for that vibe.

Vintersorg posted:These people are so closed minded to different takes on these characters. Yeah, the “Zack Snyder’s too grimdark” thing was never that person’s actual criticism. They’re fine with super dark, self-serious poo poo happening in a superhero movie. Thanos genocided half the universe and killed Spider-Man; that was fine. But BvS made Batman look like an unstable lunatic, and Superman look like a naive tool. It criticized the power fantasy behind those characters, like it’s a bad thing for a traumatized child to turn himself into a revenge monster.

Yeah, I grew up watching stuff like Guyver, Wicked City, Ghost in the Shell, Akira, Vampire Hunter D, etc., in the early 90s. Violent and gory anime imprinted on me at an early age, lmao, so I guess maybe that's also why I'm partial to Apokolips War. My parents also let me watch Robocop and Predator at an early age as well.

The first time I saw Vampire Hunter D was on broadcasted TV weirdly enough. It was showcased on a local station's sci-fi/horror film segment lol. I remember renting the Guyver OVAs from Blockbuster because the box art looked cool, and then I watched it and my mind was blown.
