Old Marvel comics referred to "ionic energy" a lot, there was a character called Wonder Man powered by it.

I've only had time to watch half an hour of this, and so far my overwhelming impression is that this is a movie and the theatrical version is dumb poo poo for assholes. Like this has its quirks like SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTIONNNNNNNNNNNN and a kind of air of general weirdness that will alienate some people and I can understand it, but everything about it just oozes quality and attention to detail, and the 2017 version was just cheap garbage by a fuckup dickhead. Snyder's movies are kind of hit or miss for me, but even if this isn't ultimately great once I hit the 4 hour mark, it's clearly so much better than the theatrical version that it's just mind boggling.

Bongo Bill posted:I think it'll be fine to go in unprepared. The idiosyncratic, heterodox interpretations of Batman and Superman from the previous films are pretty much resolved within them, so it's a noticeably more traditional group of Superfriends in this one. Yeah, I think I had my wife up to speed in like 30 seconds or less.  "Who's that guy in the water?" "Lex Luthor, he made the monster they just showed killing Superman." "What's the weird robot thing there with him?" "They kind of haven't told us yet." "OK"

The thing about this, and a lot of Whedon's pervy tendencies in movies, is that they usually make no sense in context. So we're having a meeting to talk about the end of all life but also LOOK AT DAT rear end  is just bizarre.Even old James Bond movies that ran on casual 1960s sexism would have the "women being sexy" parts make some kind of sense when they happened in the movie, like it's not wild for James Bond walking on the beach in the summer to find a woman in a bathing suit or whatever. But even they wouldn't go "so you're about to be run over by a tank, and we're going to pick that moment to zoom the camera right into your crack and have Sean Connery face-plant in your chest."

John Wick of Dogs posted:I might be getting the stories about the set I've heard mixed up, but I heard Gal would not do this scene, and Whedon made her stunt double or something like that stand in, and she also didn't want to do it out of respect for Gal, and that's the person Whedon yelled at and threatened to end her career. I think that was the boob face plant scene she didn't want to do.

Steve Yun posted:This movie was terrible. Let me put it this way: dumb nerds in an endless hateful online war between DC and Marvel movies pretty much dropped everything to agree it was poo poo. Including many Joss Whedon stans who thought he was going to save DC movies before they saw it. The Whedon version was wildly worse, like it was barely a movie and had CGI out of a TV show from a decade ago. They tried to joke it up like a Marvel movie but it was worse than the worst Marvel movies at dumb quips. Almost all the action looked like rear end and the writing in general was cringey as hell. It even recycled a "whoops fell on her tits lol" joke from his last movie.

FizFashizzle posted:She was dead weight the whole film. Not a good thing when about 20% of the movie is just her delivering exposition, describing what's happening on the screen in front of us. WW84 was super loving bad so it's good to ignore it. The first WW movie she wasted fools too. Her first appearance was in BvS and she cut off an arm.

FizFashizzle posted:I did not enjoy this movie. I generally don't like Snyder's films. I think he cuts a very good trailer, but I think he generally struggles telling a coherent story. On top of that, his DC interpretations are just completely joyless for me. The joylessness is coming from inside the viewer! Also Whedon's version of the same drat movie was absolutely poo poo lol sean10mm fucked around with this message at 15:52 on Mar 20, 2021 |

They're almost entirely positive about the snyder cut vs the theatrical though. They really, really hate Whedon's additions and keep joking how it cost X MILLION DOLLARS for each bad joke.

Equeen posted:sigh... guess i have to watch the video if they rightfully poo poo on whedon. It's funny, they really poo poo on him a lot. They seem to only really dislike the Snyder Cut's epilogue set after they win the battle and it's the post apocalyptic thing and the Joker is there that's really a big post-credits teaser

They essentially recant nothing about their MoS/BvS opinions, but also accurately poo poo on every change from the Snyder Cut to the theatrical. e: It's almost like they have a fixed threshold for (stylistic, mostly) "gloom" in comic book movies, and since the Snyder Cut was a little lighter it became disproportionately more accessible for them. sean10mm fucked around with this message at 15:51 on Mar 22, 2021 |

I really don't get the take that Man of Steel is excessively GRIMDARK in particular. It's almost all in broad daylight, good beats evil, the hero gets the girl, humanity is largely shown in a positive way. The bad guys are militaristic space eugenicists so it's not like they *shouldn't* gently caress off forever either. I do think the final battle runs on too long but Superman tries to take the fight into SPACE and people are bitching he doesn't try to prevent casualties? BvS being grim I at least get from the aesthetic and them killing Superman at the end. But MoS?

Asteroid Alert posted:I'm gonna watch the Whedon cut tonight. Change my mind. Nah, go for it. It really sucks though. Like RLM implicitly want every super hero movie to be a copy-paste of the MCU template and even they were still like "LOL EVERY WHEDON CHANGE WAS DUMB poo poo, X MILLION DOLLARS PER HACK JOKE WTF LOL"

SuperMechagodzilla posted:I honestly didn't think they'd do the "what if man of steel was in color???" meme, but the Whedon Cut confirms exactly that. Marvel's "house style" forever seemed to be graded so there was no actual blacks, just a dark gray as the darkest color. Whedon just extended that to editing the non-white characters mostly out of the movie.
