I think the Alfred in Metal Gear Solid bit and the bit about purposely not teaching kids about kryptonite or slavery in history class in school had me laughing the hardest.

I just kind of wish people could just say "I didn't like this interpretation of the character." They're comic book characters not fixed matters of doctrine I don't know much about comic books but I'm pretty sure these dumb characters get reinterpreted and adapted in a billion different ways and alternative ways over time. It's so nerd inflexible. Like, sorry, but that IS Superman, that IS Batman. If you didn't like that Superman and that Batman that's totally fine. Not like I'm actually shelling out money to see this crappy looking movie myself. Aren't the old school Batman and Superman comics always up to poo poo that would seem weird related to their typical modern depictions? I always hear about weird classic Batmen and see super dickery. MY Superman slaps the Jap it's what he does ![]()

Although i guess that isn't batman...it's...THE GOTHAM BAT Weird if they really don't say batman throughout the whole movie. Not even "the Bat man"?? Like I guess you could just interpret a person's "that's not (character name)!!!" as "I really didn't like this version of this character" but it always comes off as kinda lame to me Punkin Spunkin fucked around with this message at 19:14 on Mar 29, 2016 |

I don't think they ever refer to him as The Dark Knight either, or even The Knight in general.

They seriously never call him loving Batman? Like the dude's got nicknames back and forth so sure, mix it up, but what the gently caress are we doing not calling Batman "Batman"?

MY Superman is so fast and badass that he'd totally X Ray everything and stop all threats and fly 20 people out before anything happened pshew pshew pshew I guess that sort of thing is what makes him Superman though. He's super, man

The descriptions of the piss jar and MARTHA??? kinda made me want to see the movie, but I barely survived Return of the King and I don't think I can sit nearly 3 hours for what sounds like the most unfun superhero movie ever just for a piss joke.

bobkatt013 posted:Snyder does love Ayn Rand and Frank Miller.... People kind of easily fall into this "oh man what a neck tattooed dude bro" cliche with him in a kind of tiresome way, even WHM did it, like I'm pretty sure the dude is an enormous comic book dork regardless of the fact he likes to lift Then again, he did say he wanted to adapt The Fountainhead. I hope it's full of slow motion piss jars and burlesque shows and at least one Oscar Isaac song and dance number (anything to post this again) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBVExpGMuB0

TheFallenEvincar posted:That quote where he clunkily compared himself to Verhoeven after 300 does make me wonder how much he actually believes though He did also say that he saw The Fountainhead as being about the creative process, which at least doesn't make it seem like he was interested in just making a straight adaptation of the book.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:They did a Metal Gear Solid joke earlier in the episode so I was kinda disappointed when the Sons Of Martha bit didn't reference the Sons Of Liberty from Metal Gear Solid 2. Although apparently they just played the first one. They did bring up "Martha Manhunter".

Haven't gotten to the Martha portion of the podcast yet. However, while clearly needing another pass or two on the dialogue, I felt the worst part of that scene was the pretty pointless flashback to the very beginning of the movie. Either save your all but needless depiction of the Waynes' death for this flashback or have it at the beginning. Doing both is just boring and patronizing. Oh poo poo, I forgot Bats watched his parents die in slow mo. I'm pretty sure they saw Zorro in the theater though. Also maybe don't use the take that has the Bat sounding somewhat like Brad Pitt asking what's in the box.

Haven't listened to the episode yet, but I saw the spirit of Chris Cabin managed to post his review of the movie to the WHM Tumblr.Chris Cabin posted:As bad as movies like X-Men: The Last Stand, Green Lantern, and Spider-Man 3 are…their ultimate goal isn’t to condemn and poo poo on the world of man (and I say “man” because clearly this movie only cares about men), but rather to expand it, to see some little splinter of hope in the world and society at large. I never felt anything like that for a moment of this 150-minute fiasco, which I honestly hope I can get through the rest of my life without seeing again.

TheFallenEvincar posted:This kind of reminds me of what happened with Fantastic 4 where everyone raced each other to put out self indulgent burn reviews about how this was totally THE WORST EVER in the most creaaaaaative and humorous ways Reading that review suggests Cabin understands quite well what Snyder is going for in that movie and he disagrees with it on a profoundly moral level. That's far from Roger Ebert's "North" review levels of hyperbole.

It is funny how many Internet people are jumping on Snyder for the story and writing when he isn't actually, you know, one of the movie's writers.

That's far from Roger Ebert's "North" review levels of hyperbole. It's a bit much to call it a Misogyny CFHQ. poo poo, Batman doesn't even really Crossfit. He does poo poo you see various fighters do in their training, which probably does have some crossover with Crossfit but it's not like he's throwing medicine balls on a wall and talking to Alfred about how that paleo meal is going. Also, you know, not noticeably more misogynistic than any other male lead Hollywood movie. Gyges fucked around with this message at 23:08 on Mar 29, 2016 |

Also he's easier to blame because he's a name, unlike *looks it up* Chris Terrio and the man behind Puppet Master vs Demonic Toys. That's two lovely crossovers that guy's written for now.
