i don’t understand how in 20 years there have been like 1.5 good dc movies. how do you miss the mark so consistently.

you can hate the mcu and there is still one out of twenty movies you will not completely hate. i like dc heroes even but they just cannot get a fuckin script written that doesn’t completely suck rear end

they havent missed the mark they care about

some of the movies being good is entirely coincidental

i think marvel really benefited from having their a-listers already optioned by other studios so they weren’t constrained by perception in popular culture, also they weren’t particularly powerful characters ; you don’t need to keep telling origin stories or lost my power stories

dcs production team being complete chodes buy doesnt help that the house style was bounded by nolan and snyder

you can tell some interesting superman stories but brooding grimdark doesn’t work for a god.

Because people like Synder direct those films. Snyder thought the reason watchmen was such a popular and influential comic was because it had sex and violence.

origin stories are the best stories because superheroes discovering their newly found powers and using them toget back at the high school bully is the best genre

overall i hated endgame but its wasnt surprising as it perfectly encapsulated a marvel event comic: too long, too many characters for anyone to do anything, confounding and infuriating plot beats, a few cool spreads, and writing themselves into a corner they have to deus ex machina or time travel out of

i hope they do another birds of prey it was good

i really like when they make the antagonist an actual human who has actual motivations. i’m énamouréd with stories where the bad guy isn’t just some mustache twirling chaotic evil bond villain. i like a bad guy who is honestly pretty reasonable who just has methods that clash with the ideology of the hero. deathstroke in arrow was similar.

i like watching thor dominate.

the scene in ultimate war when he comes back with stormbrwaker, it was sick when he flew up up the air and the skies went dark and he had electric eyeballs.

altho i wanted it so when he struck down that the electricity didn’t spread out from him but instead was
loads of individual lightnings from
the sky to each bad person

shame they didn’t have me as special effects director
