So either a flashback to where Robin dies or a beefed up after-credits Injustice League scene?

howe_sam posted:Oh, this is a Snyder cut thing? Where the hell do you crowbar the Joker into that Justice League? When I saw the headline I thought they were talking about a new Justice League movie. The most likely part is, like I said, an expanded scene like the one they had at the end of the original, with Luthor getting together a bunch of villains to start his own Injustice League.

MorningMoon posted:I knew that's what this "cut" was but i still can't believe the balls to straight up shoot a new character into the movie in "post". He's not likely to get another chance at this, so why wouldn't he cram absolutely everything he ever wanted into this? Either it succeeds fantastically enough to reignite interest and he gets to keep making DC superhero movies, or he goes out knowing he did everything he wanted to do.

I mean, it's entirely possible he had a complete movie ready to go, but now that he's realized he's up against the wall with nothing to lose he might as well go hog wild with the thing and just shoot every single idea he ever had for the movie from the start.

Sony’s corner of the MCU seems to be leaning towards some kind of potential villain team-up, what with Vulture showing up in Morbius. Remember Morbius? How that was a thing? The Morbius movie? A couple of decades ago before the beginning of the Bad Times? Yeah...

I think they’re basically helpless at this point. I think they agreed to it thinking, like Disney with New Mutants, they’d just slap some finishing touches on it and release it for a quick cash/attention grab. Then Snyder’s fans and the Internet Hyperbole Machine ground ponderously back into action, and Snyder saw an opportunity to capitalize on it all and basically kitchen sink the re-shoots, and now WB and HBO are along for the ride whether they like it or not.

He looks like someone saw the Destroyer from Thor and said "Yes, but what if we crossed him with a disorganized cutlery drawer?" The Whedon version was boring, yeah, but this one isn't interesting in a good way.

The worst part is that Henry Cavill is, like, charisma personified. And that does manage to come through in the films, but it’s 100% in spite of the writing, not because of it. In the hands of a decent storyteller, Cavill’s Superman could easily have become the new standard to beat.

SonicRulez posted:I don't mean this as any kind of target call out, but it really bums me out that "Superman should be friendly and smiling" is a hot take worth burying with sarcasm. It’s not a hot take at all. It’s just that a common cheap, stupid Internet debate tactic is to take your opponent’s valid criticisms and, rather than actually engage with them meaningfully, just restate them sarcastically as though they’re ridiculous on their face and not worth addressing. “sUpErMaN sHoUlD sAvE pEoPlE”

I wonder if they'll have the nerve to complain that no one went out and saw their movie. Or if they'll trumpet the fact that it was #1 in the box office after pulling in $9000.

Everything else aside, was the first Croods not viewed pretty positively here? It seems like everyone‘s dumping on the sequel like the first one was bad, but I remember it being surprisingly good.

Or they wanted to announce it on their own terms. Companies can be stupid like that. Like when Benedict Cumberbatch was playing Khan in Into Darkness and everyone knew Benedict Cumberbatch was playing Khan in Into Darkness but Paramount kept insisting that Benedict Cumberbatch was absolutely not playing Khan in Into Darkness and then Benedict Cumberbatch was totally Khan. In Into Darkness. Like everyone knew he was.

Eh. Infinity War and Endgame managed to cram more characters than that into their runtimes and not feel too crowded. It’s all down to how prominently they’re featured, what role they play, what’s the overarching plot, etc.

Vince MechMahon posted:I hate it because it's cliche and lazy. By what metric? Comic books are notorious for having their villains escape and come back time and again. At the point the Spider-Man movies came out, comic book properties being adapted into films was still comparatively rare. Lex Luthor survived all of his Superman appearances. Catwoman survived Batman Returns. Magneto and Mystique survived. Are you talking about action movies in general?

site posted:Yeah I don't disagree that it fits, I just don't feel like it had to happen that way to have a good ending The way I see it, Raimi killed Octavius for two reasons. 1) This is a movie, not a comic book. You don't know if you're going to get another chance to tell this story, so you'd better do whatever you wanted to do with this possible one shot you get. So if you really want to emphasize the price of his hubris by killing him, you'd better damned well do it. 2) If you do get another movie and you didn't kill him, Octavius is going to be like a big ol' albatross around its neck. If you don't put him in the movie, everyone's going to be asking where he is and why, if he's redeemed, he's not helping. If you do put him in the movie, he's going to be a needless distraction from the current storyline.

site posted:For 2 I don't really buy that at all because I find the notion that if a guy survives then end of a movie and had his story completed them he must appear in the next film kinda ridiculous. He could just be in jail or whatever. Civil war had Zemo survive, although he wasn't redeemed, and no one was clamoring for him to show up in iw. No one complains vulture isn't in Holland Spidey 2. And ngl in a movie with Harry osborn goblin, sandman, AND venom if ock showed up in a bit part that would be the least of 3s problems lol Spider-Man 2 existed in a much smaller world than Civil War, though. By that point in the MCU, we had come to accept that the world is chock full of heroes and villains and they've all got their own things going on, so we can kind of infer good reasons for them not to be constantly stepping on each others' toes. Raimi wouldn't have had to include Octavius, but if he hadn't wanted to, he would have needed to at least address why, which he might just not have felt inclined to do. Maybe he felt like he'd told the story he had wanted to tell, and wanted to have the character exit on that note.

site posted:I don't understand, if 2 had ended with say ock being able to solve the explain problem and then turning himself into the police, why would 3 have to address him still being incarcerated. How does that service the story Because his popularity would have meant that the fans/corporate suits would have put pressure on Raimi to include him.
