LanceHunter posted:The League v. Superman fight is still probably the best action scene in the movie. And having Lois show up due to her own actions and motivations, instead of being there entirely as Batman's backup plan, is a good example of using the characters well. It was super great that they established that she goes there every single morning instead of relegating one instance of that to a montage and having her mope in her apartment the rest of the time.

Alexander Hamilton posted:If it makes you feel better, just pretend that Lois is bribing the cop with coffee to get a close-up look at the site. She did that in BvS to get into Wallace Keefe's apartment already. Yeah Lois is incredibly resourceful like that--like using both her embedded reporting experience and political connections to get to go to the arctic base in MoS.

sean10mm posted:The thing about this, and a lot of Whedon's pervy tendencies in movies, is that they usually make no sense in context. The thing about this one in particular is Whedon took one look at a scene in the can that already worked and wasn't really going to change, decided it needed an rear end, and got the stuff put back together to shoot Diana's rear end into it. 😬

If he had limited time and resources to achieve a theatrical version there's even less excuse for that Diana butt shot because that scene basically happens the same way both times except one of them has a butt in it. Also, you know, not mentioning the fact that he basically copy and pasted random London buildings into the skyline behind Wonder Woman on Old Bailey.

Yeah the Kryptonian suits have their house symbols in relief only, so if there's a silver S on his new suit then it was custom and the whole thing is visually linked to his monument from the end of BvS--the one he stares at immediately post-resurrection.

The original Ultimate Edition did not switch back and forth between regular and IMAX aspect ratio, but the new iTunes version does.

Timeless Appeal posted:It's not getting made because Snyder could read the room. It's also, like, Iron Man 1 and 2 are basically an adaptation of The Fountainhead, but the people Howard Roark refuses to give the building to are (secret) Nationalist Socialists and not Socialists, so nobody gave a gently caress. Plus there's this entire like, saga, of what happened to the Zack Snyder Justice League, where instead of burning the laptop he stored it on, he polished it up and released it. This story, if presented, would also be an adaptation of The Fountainhead. You see where I'm going with this? VAGENDA OF MANOCIDE fucked around with this message at 04:13 on Mar 24, 2021 |

What these reviews also touch on is that Snyder's DCEU is also at least as much about the real world that you or I live in as the heroes themselves (despite the fact that so much of it is framed mythologically).

well why not posted:Is this definitely true? Because there's definitely something up with him during Man Of Steel. The scene where everyone backs away as Superman walks towards the mirror includes a shot of Superman speaking "to his own reflection" while addressing Swanwick. I think Swanwick being an alien was decided as of BvS, not afterwards.

Ferrinus posted:They wouldn't need to if they just beat Steppenwolf straight-up when he came for box 3. The reason he got away with it as is is that Superman kicked the poo poo out of the rest of the League right before Steppenwolf showed. The existing league fought Steppenwolf twice making no appreciable progress against his armor, general prowess, and teleportation though.

I'm counting the nuclear reactor fight prior to Supes arrival since we're discussing tactical verisimilitude instead of league decision-making. Yes, WW holds her own more or less (more less) but none of them can actually damage Steppenwolf, while he flings and throws each member of the league into and under walls. And this is him without having an objective the league would otherwise have to defend. He's far too strong, far too mobile.

khwarezm posted:The thing is that it still basically frames Barry as the prime force in this relationship, he sort of ends up doing it all, he can save the world, he can run faster than light without causing the apocalypse, he can work several jobs effectively and he can successfully go through college and presumably start working to help free his dad. His father on the other hand is extremely passive, locked in prison with no hope, and apathetic about his fate, Barry as the superhuman is the one who makes things happen, regular people are at best along for the ride. You're not completing the thought here. What does it say, then, that Barry does not take his father's advice to forget him, that Barry drops his gigwork poo poo and goes to work for a crime lab because his fondest wish is not simply to see his father freed (because as the ubermensch you describe him to be he could simply will it be so), but to do it through the channels?

khwarezm posted:But this doesn't resolve the other problem I mentioned that the government doesn't much actual leverage over him. What does it mean to put handcuffs on someone when they can break out of them of with the flick of a wrist? In the same movie it ends with Superman destroying a drone and directly telling an Army guy that he's not going to allow them any way to keep tabs on him and that his help will come on his own terms. That actually makes it clearer to parse because he is in no way being coerced into anything so it should stand out starker as something he thinks is right to do!
