well why not posted:I want MCU characters to talk like real world counterparts. So Tony Stark should adopt Elon Musks' ridiculous affected accent and stammering rambles about internet memes. I don’t really know how that would work - Elon already thinks he’s Stark and is trying to do his best impression of him

Is there anyone here who loved the Dark Knight trilogy but at one point it sort of just clicked they hated the last two? I don’t have any sort of revelatory message - just something about the films comes together into seeming off and wrong. Most of the characters and actors are good but put together I just do not like what they’re trying to say, or even the action sequences, or whatever message it’s trying to sell. Even so I still like Bale Batman Batman begins is still brilliant however.

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:I remember Man of Steel trailer 3 and the extreme "trailer-ability" of Snyder's style. That was cool. Maybe I’m just an idiot but I remember seeing all the other trailers in the cinema at some point and almost being offended at how boring it looked. Like it was just a rerun of superman returns. Then, this trailer came up and I thought “oh gently caress I’m definitely watching this” https://youtu.be/NlOF03DUoWc And I got what I wanted, which was a two hour and change fight sequence against space nazis, and an incredibly deep drum heavy looping soundtrack. I do appreciate all the other world building and slower sequences a lot more with time but that is absolutely how you hook a comic book movie.

Pirate Jet posted:https://twitter.com/BatmanvSuperman/status/1367613467805569024 I’m sure that just means a better colour gamut to reducing visible banding and increase the detail in the blacks and whites. Basically making the HDR actually work. Some of the explosions are very very orange in the film and I would guess that grading one part of the scene had that knock on effect because there there just literally wasn’t enough bandwidth to prevent that kind of bleeding.

I watched Jupiter Ascending because it was mentioned so often in this thread. I uh...that was certainly a lot of nonsense. But I suppose you have to appreciate going all in on a YA version of Dune (crossed with Harry Potter, hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, twilight, Star Wars etc). I’m still wondering on what service I’m going to be seeing Justice League in the UK. NowTV maybe?

I was never one of those people who even thought the director's cut would ever come out (and if it did, it would be years later as black and white, unfinished scenes with storyboards intercut on youtube) but as much as I LOVE batman v superman and MOS I am going to remain skeptical, if only for my own sanity. I remember hearing it was being released and just assumed it would be as mentioned above, then a little disappointed it'd be released as a 4 part series. But I was bowled over to hear it would be a loving four hour movie of navel-gazing, slow-mo, big music morose god beings acting sad. And I'm going to assume it's nothing like that, because I then I can't get disappointed. Stable at 75% on RT with 101 reviews - that's a big wow considering the amount of reviewers who chose not give it the time of day before hand (and I'm not being a conspiracy chud about that) Aipsh fucked around with this message at 23:17 on Mar 15, 2021 |

McCloud posted:Challenging in the sense that the audiences preconceptions are challenged. Man of Steel famously features massive collateral damage due to the metropolis fight, and people reacted harshly to this because they are used to sanitized violence where no one but the bad guys get hurt. That reminds me that you can find the full motion picture score (not just the OST) on youtube MOS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPhBW1NcMRM BVS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9BL59uiAz8 They are just phenomenally good.

KVeezy3 posted:Yes, because then Dr. Strange would have no way to get Tony killed in that timeline. Exactly. When Tony asks how many do 'we' win, Strange is replying where 'we' is exclusive of Tony because he hates him and wants him loving dead. Half of all live in the universe missing for five years is a decent trade to have Tony dead in all words.

I am leaving this thread until I finally get a chance to watch it! 4 hours is a very big ask to take over the television during a work day...GOD SPEED GOONS :edit: Bogus Adventure posted:
While I haven't seen Darkseid in motion yet, I have to say Thanos was a villain who was too good for the MCU. In infinity war at least he is so incredibly well animated and Brolin just does an amazing job of making him threatening and terrifying without going down the 'evil for no good reason mustache twirling' route. I have a feeling I'll still prefer Thanos after this other edit: Looks like it's locked in now at 78% on RT Aipsh fucked around with this message at 10:51 on Mar 18, 2021 |

Just finally saw it. Some individual things without much spoilers: Stopped noticing it was 4:3 literally minutes in. I can imagine depending on certain TVs it would be a nightmare but I’m on a 43 inch and I just...forgot about it until I saw posts here. The film makes so so so much more sense now. The cyborg parts in particular are far more meaningful and well, heartfelt. Wonder Woman is far more hideously aggressive which fits her comic book persona a lot more. And are much more Batman is still a bit useless in a fight but nowhere near as useless as the original. The music is much better and has a lot of wonderful callbacks but still isn’t anywhere near as good as the zimmer OSTs, which is a shame. This sets up Flashpoint (and the now defunct sequels) extremely well. Aquaman is done dirtiest in this - there isn’t that much to him here. It’s so much more violent. And I can’t believe I’m saying this...I am fully on board with the revised Leto interpretation of the Joker. Lastly Amy Adams is an incredibly good actor and she really should’ve had more to do in this. Lois Lane should be a more important character and I’m disappointed she wasn’t used other than as a plot device. Same goes for Martha Kent. Really felt that was too strange. Honestly for someone who watched the whedon version the best parts are where I thought it would be the same but it turned out differently. :edit: I watched it on NowTV in the UK and it was far better quality than I expected but at maybe three or four points it was as if the power just cut out to the TV. It went black for a second and then continued on. Did anyone else have this? Aipsh fucked around with this message at 02:19 on Mar 19, 2021 |

ungulateman posted:I'm not really sure what you're looking for here. The very first scene we get with him is his origin. It's a complete mini-narrative that sets up who he is, how his powers work, and what he's like. We didn't need an explanation of how he came in contact with the Speed Force for the first time or whatever. Tbf I’ve never been a comic reader but have read a lot about them and still have no idea how the flash (or any flashes) got their power. I don’t think it’s very important but maybe a hint to it would be nice

Tuxedo Catfish posted:does Diana's lasso compel honesty or literal truth-telling As far as I can tell it’s honesty. If you have the wrong information, you’ll tell that, rather than what factually true. In the beginning the terrorist lad says “she’s too late” which is what any normal person would believe.

pospysyl posted:Yoo, when the Flash runs so fast he rewrites reality and Junkie XL just goes nuts on the score... I would have killed to see that in theaters. That theme is so so good I just wish there was more of it. It’s funny that in the (terrible) Danny elf man score Flash’s theme was the best and it’s the same again in this score. It’s the strangest mix of Wonder Woman’s style with this hinting of the the frightening, unbelievable, overwhelming power of what the Flash can unleash when he’s at his peak.

I got excited when Captain America finally lifted mjolnir but I would say because I like captain America because he is so boringly moral. It just spoke to how any one good person can be a hero. Then he loving ultra-combo’d Thanos and it was just...cool? I can totally understand how this stuff can make people tear up watching it. Most of these people literally grew up with it and had their (safe, deferred post 9/11 climate change constant terrorism) ‘dreams’ realised. I can’t find the post even if it’s a couple pages back but it is a bit cruel to call someone stupid for doing so. My kryptonite is seeing men cry on screen for platonic relationships. And it’s never women, which I can only guess is either 1)subconscious misogyny despite how much I don’t want to say that 2)that there’s been no convincingly written female platonic relationships with pathos that I have, as an individual, seen on screen. It’s more likely 1 and 2. I deviated horribly from my initial point which I’ve forgotten.
