Maybe! That would've been great, but what I am getting at is that there's quite possibly terms in Leto's contract regarding where and when he's going to show up in WB properties.

With Leto it's probably a Michael Fassbender situation - he's handsome and talented so the ugly rumours will get ignored until a shoe really drops

I think a Whedon Justice League would have been perfectly servicable had it been his movie from the start; it wouldn't have been pretty, the plot would be incredibly throwaway, but it'd have enough cute character moments to make it entirely watchable. What you'd expect from a TV writer/director basically.

Instead we got a weird mutant child between two directors with extremely discordant styles & focus. Good job WB.

We got those cute Whedon character moments though. The thirst, the brunch, the ~smiles~ that mean it's fun*

And like all Whedon works, it's poo poo! But he should have gotten his own full cut I agree. Maybe his edit will end up on YouTube one day, it would be pretty easy; what, 80-90% of the theatrical?

*If superman keeps saving the world, but doesn't smile then there's just no way to tell if he cares, he could hate the world for all I know!? Why Zack why would you do this to me

5) Wonder Woman
6) Suicide Squad
7) Wonder Woman 1984
8) Shazam!

Snyder is on his 3rd marriage I think? He's probably an American centrist politically? He's a Christian Scientist?

These are the "worst" things that we know about, and they're not even necessarily problematic nor do they have any bearing on his filmography!

Finished it, very fun and so weird. :love:

Snyder really is the current king when it comes to superpowered violence and fantasy landscapes. I really dig how much of the story is the characters telling each other stories and dealing with dreams and nightmares.

It's not anywhere as tight as Mos or Beavis, but it's still better than most superhero stuff, and it's just wonderful to even be getting this version. God bless Snyder and his bros! Lol gently caress Joss and WB forever, what absolute losers to try and prevent this :mediocre:

One thing that surprised me though, was that the parademons are JUST bugmen from hell. The theatrical made the point that they are defeated/captured people transformed, which is pretty interesting and honestly something that seemed like would come from Snyder. Like our heroes are chopping up their fellow Amazons/Atlanteans/humans as opposed to total aliens.

I mean that's sort of the case anyways but I would have liked it to still be a literal plot point. Minor gripe

Obviously she's a bad person irl for supporting apartheid but that doesn't have anything to do with her fictional character in the movie. Pretending to confuse a song with intifada footage because you didn't like a story seems like a weird flex

Nerd media criticism is pathologically inconsistent, morally and intellectually.

Like complaints about Leto Joker making edgy sex jokes to batman - where was this when Ledger Joker made them to Jai Courtney and Maggie Gyllenhaal?

Gatts posted:

He does. That’s why I said Ang Lee did his homework. It’s a very memorable Peter David story that Ang interpreted to the big screen where Banner can’t control his warring Hulks and we dive into his mind and see that history at the root of it all. Especially since that is what gets Banner and his Grey and Green Hulk personas to declare a truce of sorts, acceptance and then results in the merged Hulk which is considered one of the best runs of the character. Banner’s intelligence, Grey Hulk’s attitude, and Green Hulk’s body. When we see Banner Hulk in Endgame it’s basically the result of him making peace with his issues and it’s ultra poo poo the MCU didn’t bother giving us this.

Ah I see. I've only read a handful of OG Hulk by Lee/Kirby. Do they ever explain why he wears purple pants? I know it was the 60s, but Banner doesn't seem very hip

Something else Ang Lee's Hulk and Man of Steel have in common is I've had people I've been friends with IRL for decades stone cold look me in the eye deadly serious and say they can't really trust anything I say about movies ever again because I mentioned liking them.

This is me but with the prequels. Unfortunately for those particular friends I already found their taste somewhat questionable, so that lessened the sting. How ironic! Lol

There's a comic with a flashback to Banner in college buying fifteen identical pairs of purple trousers and telling his roommate that he doesn't want to waste time deciding what to wear in the mornings, and that he's analysed fashion trends and purple is the optimum choice for this.
