I also like how it's the most predictable thing in the world that Harley is going to betray them all to be with joker forcing will smith and the survivors to fight on two fronts

I bet will smith even convinces her to spare them, and she has a line to mr j that the suicide squad was the only family she ever had.

Then batman will gruffly say "I'll allow it," nod goodbye to will smith and be like "I don't want to see you around."

they're so desperate for that sweet, greasy nerd money but they're so transparently incompetent

it's like they can't take two seconds to wipe the seething froth from their mouths and sit down and actually make something that doesn't scream "desperate moneygrab"

"they" btw refers to both Warner Bros. and Fox

The quality of these things doesn't matter any more.

They'll have huge opening weekends because people really want to see the Joker or whatever and spergs will buy every piece of merchandise available so these movies will keep being made because they still make money.

I was like you, once. Innocent. Pure. Certain of the impeding crash of comic book movies. "Any day now," I thought to myself after Avengers.

But I realized something. They're never going to stop, because nerds will never stop consuming poo poo that's bad for them. Just like Super Size Me didn't stop millions of fat Americans from guzzling fast food. And it's because the masses don't know any better.

We, each of us goons, needs to take it upon ourselves to shove actual media into our friend's faces. We must tape their eyes to our movie screens and make them subsist on a diet of Seven Samurai, Twelve Angry Men, and 2001: A Space Odyssey; we must plug their ears with Mark Twain audiobooks and Beethoven symphonies. We---Those With Good Taste In Media--must drag the chaff of the movie-going public, kicking and screaming, out of mediocrity and into a world of refined taste in film and literature. Otherwise, Mickey Mouse will be pissing on our graves and raping our grandchildren through every orifice.

Haven't you ever met someone who eats nothing but fast food, and then when presented with an actual meal they don't like it and pine for their burgs and nugs? It's the same problem with these people. I have some friends like this, and I once tried to get them into The Wire, which I think is a very well-written show. The response? It's too slow. It's boring. There are too many characters. The characters are too morally ambiguous. One person flat out refused to watch because "I'm only into shows and movies with fantasy and sci-fi stuff".

Since then I've come to accept that fact that some people just prefer fast food.

If there was a one off character called Bananaman who throws bananas and tells jokes DC would make it super grimdark and he'd kill some people and it would rain the whole time

Then reboot it with a way younger cast of like 20 year olds and make it really tone def and dry, then a re-reboot where it's like high school/wwII for some reason

Then a time traveling re-un-boot with the grimdark actor (who's like 52 now) teaming up with the 20 year olds (some of whom haven't aged well already) and make it too hammy, also they've run out of real bad guys already so they cram several minor badies in awkwardly

Superhero movies/TV shows are all garbage that doesn't actually matter or go anywhere.

They all follow the same formula.

-Introduce the characters and get the gang together
-Fight the current "biggest threat of all time to the universe"
-It always ends positively with no one actually suffering any permanent consequences and there's a short hint of what the next movie/season will be about
- Rinse, repeat

Except that is nothing at all like either of the Netflix Marvel shows.

As long as Marvel stuff continues to be entertaining, that can stay. Pretty sure the rest of them are going to implode themselves. The only movies to actually damage Marvel itself have been poo poo like the Fantastic Four, which had their logo on it. They should have pulled it.

When the age of Westerns died, there were a few good Westerns that went on for a while. Which is fine. I hate when a whole genre dies because of over-saturation of poo poo-quality copycats. Happens in any media.

She is

She is super hot

Also a terrible actress that always seems to be playing as if she was in a comedy sitcom, she's just a bad thespian

I went and watched The Bitch in apartment 23 sitcom and highly enjoyed it, she's perfect for it

I'm really excited to see Ben Affleck as Batman, I think he'll be loving great, possibly the best batman yet, unfortunately in mediocre movies

Christian Bale was ok in retrospect, at the time I liked him a lot, but really he wasn't even the best batman, it was just the franchise had gone so bad he seemed like the best thing ever.

DC superhero movies are the only thing worse than Marvel superhero movies.

Marvel makes movies for children and child-like adults. They're kid movies with a big budget with a few bits thrown in to keep adults from getting bored.

DC makes movies for child-like adults who still want the same stuff they liked as children, but "dark". Like maybe there's a grown-rear end man in a Halloween costume and he goes on a rant lifted straight from a goth teen's diary, but everyone's supposed to think it's really scary but also deep and wow, maybe he's right. The audience (and probably the people making it) are the same type of people who write "gritty and realistic" Sonic the Hedgehog fanfiction, except they liked comic books more than their Sega Genesis.
