Snowglobe of Doom posted:Neil Gaiman tells a story about how one of the old scripts completely misunderstood the comic and tried to turn it into a superhero story and had an ending where Morpheus has a super powered fist fight with Lucifer. I love that Neil Gaiman turbonerds tell this story and make it sound bad, when a superpowered fistfight with the devil would actually be cool and good, and better than mopey goth gods quoting shakespeare at each other for two hours.

Pound_Coin posted:Also sony should just stop making films, They were pretty close to just stopping earlier this year, if Emoji Movie and Spider-Man: Homecoming hadn't done well their film division probably would have folded. They've been struggling for a long time: Rupert Buttermilk posted:Makes sense... Sony is the company who tends to spearhead new formats, and GB is the shining jewel of their catalogue. Snowglobe of Doom posted:Yeah if you adjust for inflation then Sony/Columbia's top film is Ghostbusters with the '02 Spider-Man fairly close behind. Then comes Spider-Man 2 , Tootsie, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Lawrence of Arabia way behind them and then somewhat further back comes Men in Black and The Bridge on the River Kwai. Apart from the first two Raimi Spider-Man films their recent track record has been fuckin' woeful, and by 'recent' I mean "since the 70s and 80s".

It's about what you want, right, and how it's executed. A fistfight with the devil could be cool, but it could also be another lame CGI fest. Justice League has a finale of fist fighting, where surprise motherfucker, Superman punches the bad guy and they win. It was the worst part of the movie. Sandman is not about fistfights, if you wanna make a movie about that go ahead but please don't call it Sandman.

I watched in in 4DX, with the moving chairs and the wind blowers and the water spritzers and the actuators that punch you in the back when something exciting happens and the GOD DAMNED AIR JETS ON EITHER SIDE OF YOUR HEAD THAT GO OFF EVERY TIME A BULLET WHIZZES PAST A CHARACTER it was the absolute worst movie-going experience I have ever had, and if I hadn't been on a date I would have walked out and demanded my money back.

They should make a movie that ends with superman flying to the Cayman Islands and taking all the tax shelter money (conveniently kept in a big solo) and using it to pay for hospitals/infrastructure/poor people/whatever

I kind of weirdly like Snyder's man of steel. but i don't like any of the other movies in this reboot of a reboot of a reboot of a comic book franchise.

Yes, but that is exactly why Superman should take over. He knows the politicians are corrupt and destroying the world. It is his moral duty as a good person to take over. Most of us have the excuse of not being able to affect change. He does not have that excuse.

I said this in the Redlettermedia thread, but the DC movies should all be period pieces that take place in the 30s, 40s, and 50s. Either that, or make the entire DC Movie Universe into a weird deiselpunk alternate universe where everything is all retro and Art Deco. Like Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, or something. Also make everything way more colorful and vibrant and stylized.

IMO the interesting take on this kind of story is like what's done in Incorruptible, where the main character is a career villain who realizes whoa, poo poo is so hosed up, nobody's doing anything to make it better, I guess I have to stop doing this villain poo poo and try to make the world better and safer. I love the Christopher Reeve era Superman type stories, but they're pretty thoroughly explored and I can't blame people for wanting to see a fresh direction, but "powerful guy does lovely things" isn't really fresh either.

Thor Ragnarok has already made $750 million so people aren't tired of superhero movies. The difference is Justice League is a confused mess while Taika Watiti knew exactly what kind of movie he wanted to make and Marvel let him.

FactsAreUseless posted:I'm a huge Superman defender, but DC as a company has been so bad for so long that there's not much point. You can watch their animated Warner Bros. series from the 90s and pretty much get everything good they ever did - especially Justice League Unlimited. It was pretty good about seven years back, when Geoff Johns was basically running the show (still is, I think) and they were doing stuff like Blackest Night and Flashpoint. Apparently the New 52 polarized everybody, but it's not like Marvel hasn't been doing similarly dumb poo poo with their Captain America titles. I've never liked Marvel's universe as much as DC -- the continuity in DC is impressive, byzantine and the best part.
