The only acceptable post credit scene for this movie would be a Will Smith music video.

Hilariously he only throws boomerangs 4 times during the entire film and only one of them was a gimmick boomerang which somehow had a stabilized video camera. The rest of the time he just holds them in his hands and stabs people with them like they're knives. Apart from the info from the camera which they also could have gained by just peeking around the corner he was completely useless.

People keep making GBS threads on dc movies like the marvel movies are good. They're terrible. They are the most basic plots and use a technique that involves using the same very famous movie stars to give a false sense of some sort of universe and it dazzles nerds with low bars.

The Nolan batmans are the best superhero movies ever made. End.

Suicide Squad 2: Slipknot's Revenge

I haven't seen the movie yet but hopefully he lives

Snowglobe of Doom posted:

Studios only get about 20% of their income from box office receipts these days, alternate income streams like home media sales, merchandise and TV/VOD licencing which used to be considered a nice little side profit back in the 80s is now keeping the studios afloat. Box office grosses are a nice way of measuring how popular films are on first release but they're pretty much useless for measuring whether a film is profitable or not.

Dredd didn't have a thousand different toys on the shelf, all kinds of different deals with fast food and car companies, and it wouldn't have made anywhere near the same amount in TV/VOD licensing that something like BvS would. DVD and blu ray sales are only the beginning.

The introduction for Slipknot was hilarious, after all the rest of the squad get a long build-up detailing all their backstories, he just sort-of gets out of a car and they're like, "Oh yeah, and this guy as well."

That'll be a fun six-second clip in a Justice League movie.

I liked this version of the Joker, it's just too bad Jared Leto is supposedly a gigantic rear end in a top hat in real life and no liked him during filming. What is disappointing is that the Joker in Suicide Squad was totally pointless and added nothing to the story. Supposedly the alternative cut of the film changes that and he is much more central to the plot beyond just Harley Quinns backstory.

"What if Superman had torn off the roof to the White House? Who would stop him?"

"Batman."

"No, all the people Batman caught who don't really have any powers at all."

"But... Batman actually did beat Superman..."

MrJacobs posted:

So superman allowed himself to suffocate under the effects of a foreign substance and just thought it was cool to be helpless as he almost got stabbed in the chest by a crazy man? Superman was toying with batman until poo poo got real when kryptonite was introduced, then he was actually trying to kill batman, and failed.

At this point I'd be happy to get a superhero movie that was completely character driven and didn't even have any super villains

I should have said "At this point I'd be happy to get a lighthearted superhero movie that was completely character driven and didn't even have any metahuman battles that destroyed half a city"

Spider-Teen's version of Ferris Bueller's Day Off, minor DC villains trying to pull off a crazy heist and avoid Batman and Flash, Squirrel Girl's space adventures, whatever. A film which didn't end with a giant blue laser that was going to destroy the Earth. There's a whoooooooole lot of scope within the genre that has barely been touched upon except for brief scenes here and there.

Other good movies to double feature with this:
Mystery Men
Chappie
Robocop 2

CelticPredator posted:

I think Chappie's legacy will only get worse. It's a movie while watching, I could tell very few people can tolerate it.

I love it though.

I'm wondering who had less to do, Croc or Boomerang. Neither really seemed to contribute all that much and only seemed to speak when there were a few seconds of silence to fill. The only thing I can remember was at the end Croc threw the bomb, but that didn't seem like a hard toss to make.
