I can see where they're coming from with the video game comparisons (and why Cyborg got the same comments). For me at least, it's that while the characters reflecting their environment, they're not reflecting themselves. Compare the shot of Steppenwolf to one from Excalibur:   In the real armor, the arm is being reflected in the torso and vice-versa, while Steppenwolf seems a little bit off because all those little spikes sticking out are just kind of there and don't have any visual presence in the armor around them. It's still pretty rare for movies to have self-reflecting lighting though - Transformers 5 was the first time they attempted it on that franchise, and they'd had a decade to work on visual improvements to the characters at that point.  This isn't a great image, but you can see where Optimus' screen-left shoulder is getting shadows and reflections from his shoulder pad - Steppenwolf doesn't have any of that.

hump day bitches! posted:I saw people comparing it to Arkham Asylum, which looks great but also it’s an incredible wet and shiny game, full of colour and cartoony as hell , the same thing they accuse Snyder of not getting. Yeah, it's the same as its ever been. I remember getting in a long argument with someone that 'I am legend' was video game esque. And, when pressed, he essentially said 'because it was bad'

I have been watching a ton of digital foundry and ray tracing coverage so it immediately jumped to me, something was wrong with the highly reflective armour when I saw the image this morning. But the Arkham asylum comment was about a shot of Batman, Wonder Woman and flash all lumped together, on the slash film article about Snyder ideal way to show the movie. Also the steppe wolf gpu meme is incredible and I love it.

Snyder is terrible, his visuals are too dark and dreary! Why can't he make fun cartoony stuff?? Snyder is terrible, he uses CGI in ways that look outlandish and unreal! Why doesn't it look realistic??

It's really weird that a ton of gamer personality types are critical of the design for "looking like a video game." What a meaningless description. It's not like the embarrassing Superman/Steppenwolf fight from the Whedon cut that looks visibly rendered worse than an Injustice finisher.

One reaction I saw was "well Trump lost, so I guess at least this Snyder Cut stuff will keep them busy". I'd be interested to know the average political leanings of the guy's fans; I imagine the DC superhero movies attract some right wing guys who consider the Marvel movies irreversibly cucked and reflexively want to contribute to their competition (a la the replies any time Sony does a black lives matter tweet all saying "well I guess I'm buying an Xbox!" and vice versa) but I mean, BvS is a story about Batman being manipulated by the billionaire-owned media into being frightened of an immigrant. I can't imagine what right wing people would get out of it other than it literally just not being a Marvel movie

Meanwhile Biden are poo poo across every demographic except suburban whites but they want to pretend he was incredibly popular with minority voters. Basically they view politics and personal taste as identical which isn’t surprising given that for most of them politics is also purely superficial and performative, just like tweeting about cartoon movies.

An yeah that thing was made by some intern at slashfilm, our top quality film critics just decided to discuss it like it wasn't. Both Darkseid and Steppenwolf's character models have had the exact same memes about GPU box art, I'm getting kinda interested in the overall style that's going to emerge. Kirby's new gods were fantastical monsters with the power of technology, these guys are beasts of pure technology - what else is a tech demo box art monster - who come lookong to suck the magic out of

I would imagine Snyder's Fandom cuts across the political landscape, as most directors' do. Judging by the reactions to the pro-biden tweet from a few weeks back he's attracted a lot of chud-love but an equal to greater amount of centrists/leftists. E: you have some directors like Rian Johnson being openly antagonistic to the right on social media, and directors from minority groups the right hates like the Wachowskis, but outside of those examples I don't think enjoying a person's work falls along the political spectrum.

Man, speaking of Jack Kirby it's legit depressing to see people say stuff like "How DARE they redesign a character created by Kirby!" who also praised the Kirby-esque production design[citation needed] in Thor Ragnarok.

even with all the loud twitter disapproval of snyder, people are overwhelmingly pro-snyder cut. just look at the like/dislike ratio on youtube, then compare it to, say, rise of skywalker trailers.

Mr. Apollo posted:Yeah Snyder said that the armor can react to his emotional state and threats. Kind of like how Cyborg’s armor started reacting to Clark at Heroes Park. He gave some examples like the armor being able to “catch” arrows when he’s fighting the Amazons Okay here's my proposal: halfway through the movie someone manages to shoot him in the face, caving in his skull, but it turns out that "Steppenwolf" is the armor, not the host, and it keeps fighting.

You know it'd be neat if Snyder brought in Starfire for a hypothetical sequel, since Cyborg is here. She's got neat powers and you know he'd do something fun with the whole warrior culture thing.
