I think they did a good job with Cyborg. I found him hella interesting and bits like the streets darkening when he flies in like a jet makes him the most interesting he's ever been to me in anything.

Neurolimal posted:I'd pick the cult thing before the condom, though that's also pretty skeevy. I can't think of any that were actually regarded as good. Paul Schrader's Exorcist sequel was reshot by Renny Harlin but the result was terrible. There have been movies that turned out good after being reshot but the ones I know of weren't with a brand new director. Like Back to the Future, where they filmed something like half the movie with a different lead actor and then fired him and hired Michael J. Fox. Or Tarkovsky's Stalker, where all the film got exposed so he had to go back and reshoot everything.

But again, what the gently caress was up with putting a dream sequence in the epilogue of a 4 hour movie where a Joker wearing Toddler makeup vamps for what feels like forever.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Eh, I'd say that the Momoa take on Aquaman in particular was new and def owes a lot to Chris Hemsworth's Thor. DC had been struggling with how to make Aquaman interesting and shake off the Super Friends reputation and it turns out having him be a buff goofy bro played by an absurdly attractive and charismatic actor is the way to go.

He is not a literal cult leader. He has not been accused of rape. He has been accused of being into underage women but the most recent thing I could find was something from the NY Post in like 2005.

Phenotype posted:Another thing I was surprised that carried over from the Whedon version: Superman and friends still don't have to do anything to defeat Steppenwolf, he's just hosed as soon as Superman shows up. I thought it was kinda funny in the original -- Diana and Aquaman are fighting Steppe side-by-side and just barely holding on, and then Supes just pops in and sends him flying with an uppercut and says "hey guys! how can I help?" and they're just like "I guess keep beating the poo poo out of that guy that's stronger than both of us put together." The real dramatic weight of the scene is in Cyborg and the Flash destroying the motherboxes, though I thought the way Superman just turns up and gives a One Punch Man beatdown to the guy the rest of the team united could barely keep up with was meant to be a little disquieting and underline how helpless even Earth's strongest are next to him

It's implied they need him for something in the scene. But the real reason is this is the only scene in the movie that was shot just for this, and it's because this version of Batman and joker never shared the screen before it, and Snyder wanted to get that in before the series is officially dead.

I was surprised by that too, but even more surprised they still lost, if it weren't for The Flash being bullshit.

Well it felt and looked like poo poo. The only thing in the whole movie that struck me as Snyder getting too much freedom. Gotta to end this epic movie with Joker laying some sick burns for some reason *uncomfortable zoom in to wine mouth for five minutes*

Exorcist 3 also had its ending reshot (still Blatty) to be more Exorcist-y, and that has its fans (I think the exorcism scene is great on its own, and maybe as a surprise after the rest of the muted film, but the "he just shoots him" end fits better with the grounded drama of the film). But yeah, I cant think of any "we brought in a new guy to finish/fix the film, and the result was good!" examples off the top of my head. Whedon is a lovely person and he clearly didn't care about even trying to match Snyder (though I assume that's why the suits brought him in), but his work was cut out for him either way.

Honestly even ignoring that he’s just always seemed like a tool who thinks way too highly of himself without anything to back it up. I will say his joker voice also stinks, though oddly not his laugh, and the JL look is far better then the Joker of Allentown or Rural Ohio in Suicide Squad.

I guess I am in the cult of GWAR as I paid them $500 USD to ritually kill me on stage and stuff me under the drum riser. The underage stuff needs to be seriously looked into though. How has it been around this long and nothing has happened? I see reports back in like 2005! Leto isn't Cosby or Weinstein powerful.

Woke up, still thinking about this movie lol. One little moment I love is in the aftermath of the Flash running into Aquaman during their fight with Clark. After they both regather themselves and the camera focuses in on Arthur as he angrily points at Barry, as if to say "you gently caress", that poo poo made me laugh pretty hard. Lmao, reminds of a the big brother, little brother relationship I have with my own sibling the times I'd accidentally hit him while we were horsing around. [edit] I really did love Ezra as Barry. Super fun performance. Also, there was some great "eat-acting" by Ezra when he's talking to Arthur about Victor after we see Silas die. Just something about that whole exchange felt natural/organic. That's probably a weird thing to point out, but whatever lol. teagone fucked around with this message at 15:31 on Mar 19, 2021 |

Communist Thoughts posted:darkseid turns up to earth and gets owned by medieval weaponry and some gods It's never really strongly implied that Steppenwolf is stronger than Darkseid imo. There is the very clear implication that he tried to obtain the throne of Apokolips for himself, betraying Darkseid, but then got his rear end handed to him and as a result was ordered to conquer 50,000+ worlds as payment for his insubordination. Darkseid was young and overconfident when he randomly arrived to what he probably believed was an insignificant primitive backwater planet that would be a cakewalk to conquer. After getting hosed up and passing out, his crew probably panicked and just said "gently caress that planet" and returned to Apokolips. Since that encounter, Darkseid went on a planet conquering bender for his continued search for Anti-Life. By chance, how many thousands of years later or whatever, Steppenwolf learns Anti-Life is on that same backwater planet, but now it has no gods or protectors to drive Apokolips forces back. [edit] elf help book posted:Is there a point after that where Flash and Aquaman actually do work together? I was watching hoping they'd make up after that and don't think we really got it lol You mean like a team-up using their powers in a combo against the parademons? They don't, as far as I remember. Their sibling-esque rapport is mostly in shared dialogue, e.g., the scene when Barry asks Arthur if hat A or hat B is better (lol, I like that little exchange a lot too). teagone fucked around with this message at 15:48 on Mar 19, 2021 |

This is just nothing. If you want concrete, indisputable evidence you rarely ever get them in these cases. This is why only a few people who got hit by #Metoo actually went to jail. That is why phrases such as "believe women" exist. Clearly in the case of Leto there is a lot of people in the industry who feel this way about him, James Gunn isn't exactly a nobody. Again it's up to you if you want to give him the benefit of the doubt but I don't think you should take such umbrage at people who do feel suspicious of him. And you should beware, this Leto defence position you've adopted may be a source of embarrassment for you in the future should more allegations come to light.
