I feel like at least several of those are classic Flash comic cover poses, and it's awesome

Y'know what, I've come around on the Snyder Cut. Yeah a lot of it started as nerd entitlement, but as the movement grew there was a legitimate underpinning of wanting to see a creator's vision realized that has been vindicated. Two of Hollywood's biggest Snyder critics have been exposed as terrible monsters since the release of Justice League, while the man himself has done nothing wrong. And yeah, the Snyder Cut makes it clear: Joss Whedon and studio executives hosed over a creative vision in the name of making the film more like the worst but fourth-highest grossing MCU film. It's a creative vision that I, personally, disagree with to the point where I find it fun to spend my deriding it, but it's a creative vision nonetheless. I'm glad the Snyder Cut got released. I'm happy for y'all, even if I am going to make jokes about 4:3 aspect ratio, PS3 CGI, and a four hour runtime. My question is this: does the drama end here, or is the #RestoreTheSnyderverse movement going to do everything it can to make itself something that Warner Bros. can't ignore?

This is gonna keep rolling, yeah. If Snyders zombie movie is well received, it's gonna go crazy.

Max Landis might have gotten Me Too'd before Justice League came out. 2017 is a loving blur to me.

Devin Faraci, one of the main proponents of the "Snyder is fascist" (or might have been objectivist, I can't remember) trash was MeToo'd and his career tanked hard. Good riddance to bad rubbish. Dunno about the second.

Mantis42 posted:Can confirm that everytime Flash goes fast it's really cool. Hah, I actually loving hated the way they did the Flash powers, I honestly can't think of a worse way to depict it on screen. Even the CW show makes it more fun than this one. I mean, sure, the timestop and lightning bolts everywhere was cool, but having him moving so slowly and carefully made those scenes feel slow and boring when they should have felt fast and exciting. I much preferred the effects for Evan Peters as Quicksilver -- they did a similar trick with stopping time, although without the cool pyrotechnics, but his superspeed scenes felt fun and whimsical since he himself was at least running around at normal speed compared to everyone else being frozen. (Also wish they would have given him an hour with a track coach so he didn't have the silliest running style in the world.) I really, really liked the Flash/Superman fight, though. I don't think I've ever seen a show try to depict two distinct categories of superspeed like that, where most of the cast is frozen, and then Supes starts swinging at Barry again and he's actually moving around almost as fast as a regular person, and Barry is clearly a little faster but he can barely keep dodging because he sucks at fighting. Axel Serenity posted:The Flash does, indeed, own bones in this Okay, yes, this bit was pretty tight too. Anytime he's weird and floaty, like saving the girl at the beginning or giving Wonder Woman's sword a little boop, like, ugh. Phenotype fucked around with this message at 00:15 on Mar 20, 2021 |

CelticPredator posted:Snyder Cut is better than endgame. OG Avengers and Infinity War are better than Endgame though, to be fair. So not saying too much there. Endgame is weird in that its like Return of the King, its not the best movie on its own but it works okay as a cathartic climax of the franchise.

Just saw the snyder cut and didn't like it. I liked it when wonder woman cut hornmans head off and it landed at Darkseids feet, that was pretty metal tbh. But then the rest of the ending happened and oh my lord was it atrocious

The way Flash is shown in this movie is so cool exactly because its not the cookie cutter done 500 times CW bog standard unimaginative "speedster" effect Im tired of seeing. What is unique about it, especially considering the scenes where you do see him move really really fast, is that the speed he moves is so incomprehensibley fast that the only way for us mere mortals to possibly see him moving is to slow it down to an almost scientifically observational degree. It gives his power so much awe and it owns.

So I'm aware that the whedon cut added the flash falling on Diana's chest scene (director trademark from age of ultron) and the "Lois is the thirstiest reporter" line, are there any other weird horny poo poo he did to the film?

SpiderHyphenMan posted:Joss Whedon and Max Landis. Max Landis posted a video today on youtube expressing regret for being toxic by making GBS threads on movies, for cyberbullying Snyder, and expressed it's more important to build screenwriters and creatives up than tear them down. Like I'm not going to defend Landis' past behavior, but he legitimately seems to have regret for his past actions and endorsed Snyder getting his creative vision out there, without commenting on the work itself.

That's news to me but also hoo boy I spent a lot of time defending him before the dam burst so I'm not exactly inclined to forgive him.

As someone who argued about Man of Steel with Max Landis for literal days over a private Facebook conversation in 2013 you have no idea how vindicated I feel right now.
