You expect some brutalist design from a hq held on the brink of death by Super Gorilla Power, but then it's all modern eco-friendly wood and tusks and poo poo. Which works, because their leader isn't a dumb musclehead.

Speaking of Disney, have y'all seen the Disneysea prototypes for Belle's Enchanted ride? It's like the Ariel/Ursula animatronics on next level poo poo. That's going to be awesome when it filters down to the rest of the attractions/new rides. A Coco themed dark ride with that poo poo would be amazing.

It ferries the most prized yet most threatening export the white/western world has ever seen. BLACK CULTURE. Killmonger's aerial transports stand in for the Northern Diaspora. Furthermore

Detective No. 27 posted:It reminds me of that Beauty and the Beast adaptation from earlier this decade where the Beast was just some pale dude with a few face tattoos. Penny Arcade had a pretty funny take on that. Basically "how will i ever learn to love your brooding mystique, 6 pack abs and sick tats"

It'd be cool for Snyder to do his own thing. I dont think redoing Excalibur would be all that worth it with the endless comparisons.

It's a little contrived and the fight itself ends up being dumb because of it.

The Cameo posted:Then someone at Warners apparently really believed in the project, because he got a call saying "if you can rewrite this to be half the budget, and find a big enough name to anchor this?... Yeah, we'll still make it." The story i heard was that Aaronofsky walked out of The Matrix and was like "where do we go with SciFi from here". And while the original was more grandiose, I feel like the stripped down version was more inventive and took science fiction films down a great path. There's a Graphic Novel called Daytripper that's in a similar vein to Fountain that I wish would get picked up.  I had no idea people actually liked The Fountain here. It's like my favorite film and everyone looks at me like I'm from Mars when I say that.

Aside from the Space Jam site, my go-to for fine mid 90s web design is http://www.saveoursailors.org No Web2.0 stuff that I can see -- that was more flash heavy. It should be using FRAMES and maybe javascript to make a cool reflecting pool with waves effect somewhere though. It's also missing an AOL keyword section.

teagone posted:Wonder Woman bias. I love it because she is front and center with Batman and Superman behind her in the first ever shot of DC's "trinity" on film. When it plays out in the movie, WW's theme is also blaring as the camera zooms in on them. It also just looks great; I like the lens flare caused by sparks from Batman's hosed up batwing and all the texture in the shot from the debris/fire surrounding the 3 heroes. I think it just sold WW as a loving badass more than anything. From the awesome metal cello theme to the look of "hell yes" when she gets knocked down and springs right back into the fray.

Yeah, wow that was great. Loved the way Freddie was serving as a mentor and still trying to puzzle it out with Billy. Also liked that this does a lot to establish the status of superheroes in the world in a very distinct way from Beevis' existential terror/demigod state. Cant wait for the sequel where Freddie gets Marvel Jr powers and will be like a teenager with a hot rod

Zach Snyder's initial draft revealed that Black Adam was the one that broke Freddie's leg and the second act would cause him to go all angry at Billy for tapping into The Powah. Sivana also raided Billy's orphan home because using his power in Anger would allow the Evils of Man to possess him, and allow Sivana's Mind Trap to lock Billy away while Sivana assumed the Buff Bod of the Big Cheese. Zachary Levi was uncomfortable with the narrative whiplash from Bright and Fun Cap to Snyderverse Cap and the JL fiasco gave him enough leverage to paper over Snyder's intended outcome.

It's part of a planning doc that was rumored to set the trajectory of the DCEU before JL began filming (when Darkseid would be the Act 3 Big Bad tease). Shazam would go through a dark challenge and emerge though it with hope (countering the bitching about Breakneck Superman), but Freddie's fate would be left for the sequel. Aquaman was supposed to lose his arm and tease the Water Arm/Hook Arm at the end of his film. Cyborg would have dealt with Blue Beetle and set up a situation where the earth would be caught between a war of The Reach and Apokalyptian tech, with the possibility of genetic tanpering leading to a meta-war. And Flash would be up in the air in case they needed a Crisis style reset due to box office failures or casting problems. It's all referenced in that weird Snyder shirt he commissioned.

It's not fooling you if it's what you want to hear, though. Superman's trajectory through the plots would be like Dante's inferno. Bats would be more Wagnerian.
