Would you settle for current AEW announcer (and former WCW announcer) Tony Schiavone?

I don't know; bumping into that thing looks like it'd result in a trip to the hospital.

Sorry, lurker, here.

I feel like this is a really disengenous question, and frankly I think the discussion about character interpretations to screen only matters to a point. A movies baggage is only as long as it's credits, anything outside the film, especially from other media really doesn't matter. Just like Donner, Burton, and Nolan Snyder started a new franchise, so leveraging how good something is based on the tone and themes of its predecessors is inane.

My favorite comic book arc of all time is Planet Hulk to World War Hulk, and not only does the MCU mangle and twist this to suit other characters, it's too the detriment of Bruce, who essentially becomes their pet weapon.

Spider-Man, my second favorite character has only been done right in The amazing spider-man franchise, and yet they're hated because he's too comic book accurate, Peter park was only not "cool" before the bite. Raimi took away the webshooters and his intellect, reducing him to a brute that's handed victories from the villains, Doc Ock's mistreatment still being my biggest cinematic disappointment. Doc Ock is savage and tenacious, but they make him job to Peter, after showing his arms act independent of him. Then he kills himself after apologizing, talk about character assassination. And it's hailed as the greatest comic-book film still by some.

If you've read the comic books, you'd know all the teeth is in the events, hell a lot of comic books get by on edge, what's the black king event right now doing? But there's no edge in Snyder's vision. He's showing how a mythical being would rock the boat in our cynical world. Pa Kent told him to hide and yet he chooses a lovely nomadic life to help people. Then he hunts and turns a crazy rich rear end in a top hat who's beating and torturing poor people whenever he wants, into fighting the actual bad guys(unfettered capitalism).

But with the MCU, they take out the teeth of things. Look at iron man 2, remember when we were excited it was gonna be the demon in a bottle arc, then they handled it in like 5 minutes? And they minimize the body count so much all of the new shots in civil War had me thinking the twist was going to be they joined forces when they find out it's all faked, but nope. Stark is the villain of the franchise, like he's the cause of most everything, least up to civil war, yet he still gets to be a hero after his death. In the comics there'd be a lot more work done to get to that point, including clones and a ton more magic, hell they could've adopted how they handled Richard Reed in the comics, but with their philosophy, no.

I'm not a "Snyder fan", I'm a fan of good movies. My current favorite MCU film is Captain marvel, loved it's take on girl power more than WW, i and it has the single most dynamic shot in the entire franchise.



I think the SnyderCut is a good thing for everyone. It's insane to me that some people were actually saying that the suits saw how bad it was so that's why they started making him change things, but in doing so they're saying the suits are right about art, which isn't ever really the case. Now studios blunders can be rolled back, does anyone want to live with that OG Suicide squad? It was an objective mess and now there's a chance another creative gets his vision seen. And maybe more after that.

Yes there's a portion of his fans who are toxic, but not only does that apply to every other fandom, no other fandom was getting gaslit like they were. Yeah I said it, gas lit. You have half the internet saying it's bad and that anyone who likes it is an idiot, then you have a quarter of that who take it even further and call them and Snyder fascists and more based on YouTubers. I say YouTubers because the films don't ever support any claims they make. They'll pay a clip of the villain saying something then turn to camera and be like, that's what Snyder believes. Ironically they're using fascist rhetoric, Snyder is both a dumb surfer bro who has no clue about anything and everything good he does is an accident, but at the same time, he's able to weave randian objectivism into his films.

I'm just excited to see him finish the trilogy, which is crazy because I was one of the people saying the whole thing was dumb, including battfleck, on this hellsite back in the day, though I think a proper MoS2 wouldn't have hurt. I usually just type something, delete it and move on, but as we get closer to endgame, it's getting harder not to let it get to me, so please scroll on, sorry for the interruption.

Maybe an element of the upcoming Secret Invasion mini?

STAC Goat posted:

Yeah. It has a writer and stars Fury and the Skrull from Captain Marvel, and is supposed to start filming in April. So like I could see it being a show set between Captain Marvel and Endgame or something and factor into the retconning of SWORD into the universe. That makes more sense to me than having a whole massive Skrull invasion of super heroes in a 6 episode mini series on Disney+.

The announced shows so far are:

WandaVision - now
Falcon & Winter Soldier - March
Loki - May
What If...? - "mid 2021"
Ms. Marvel - "late 2021"
Hawkeye - "late 2021"
Moon Knight - "2022"
She-Hulk - "2022"
Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special - "2022"
Secret Invasion - ??, but filming in April
Iron Heart - ??
Armor Wars - ??, but set to film soon
Wakanda series - ??

Yeah, I'd rather read the same loving snyder chat over and over again every three weeks. Wandavision and many of the D+ shows are tied into the MCU and belong here. If anything, please make a Syderverse thread so this poo poo can be quarantined.

Thank you for proving you don't get the movies I guess. All you have to do is find zacks interviews on the subjects, he's done a bunch. His words are plain enough.

Never said masterpiece, and why are they bad? There's something to get, that's why they're constantly talked about, unlike any individual mcu film. Is it just the same old, got your characters wrong complaint? The cgi not colorful enough?

Why isn't there a Snydertalk containment cell?

The last two pages have been people trying to engage with someone who disagrees that Man of Steel has any flaws whatsoever for (New) God's sake.
