People shitted on DC for years but now they have an issue with this guy taking over?


I don't have a dog in this fight but I find it extremely strange how defensive people are over Schneider & Co's work despite it receiving so much negativity for as long as the DCU has been around. Competition breed's innovation so I'm all for DC keeping Marvel on their toes.

I HAVE ENJOYED THE MCU WAY MORE THAN ANYTHING FROM DC...EXCEPT MAYBE SUICIDE SQUAD...BUT I WOULD LOVE TO ENJOY DC FLICKS AS WELL...JAMES GUNN IS ONE HELL OF A SHOT AT THAT.

Growing up I enjoyed comics, TV shows, and much more from both camps. I wish him and DC nothing but the best.

Snyder's Justice League over anything in the MCU except Iron Man.

reply

IT'S THE SAME SHITTY MOVIE...ONLY 14 HOURS LONGER...GROSS.

reply

Other than Iron Man, every movie in the MCU is the same shitty movie. I'm a Zack Snyder hater, but I have to give him his director's cut.

I DISAGREE...GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY 1 AND 2,THOR RAGNAROK AND THE INFINITY WAR/ENDGAME FLICKS ARE FAVORITES IN MY HOUSE...AND VERY DIFFERENT...ALSO ENJOY THE MAJORITY OF THE OTHER MARVEL MOVIES...THE SUICIDE SQUAD IS THE ONLY DC FLICK WE HAVE WATCHED MORE THAN ONCE....THANKS JAMES GUNN.

Both DC and the MCU are complete shit with the exception of Iron Man and Zack Snyder's Justice League and The Batman.

So we all have good opinions. Thanks.

I'm not a hater nor fan, but I really did like the Director's Cut, and this is coming from someone who absolutely despised Man of Steel and Batman v Superman.

reply

I didn't like the original cut, but thought I'd give the director's cut a chance and was very surprised how much I liked it. It really took its time to develop the characters.

No love for Eternals or Black Panther?

I just mention those because I feel like they stood out against the MCU cookie cutter compendium.

reply

Haven't see Eternals, but I didn't like Black Panther.

reply

Eternals really feels different from anything else in the MCU. A lot of ppl didn't like it, but I actually enjoyed it very much. Feels more of a slower-burn character drama compared to the spectacle popcorn films that make up the majority of the MCU.

It's a bit of a time investment, but just throwing that out there. I like MOST of the cast, and their interactions. It's still very much an epic superhero film, but I think it gets there differently than your typical one.

reply

The only thing that breed's innovation (aka, change) is when the expected audience no longer shows up. So I don't think Marvel or DC care about the other when the only thing that matters is making movies that draw big. Much more a hardcore fan thing, and even that is overblown once you realize that they obviously consume both.

reply

I really enjoyed the Nolan trilogy, the Joker and the Matt Reeves Batman movie. I liked Henry Cavill as Superman but did not care for the films he was in. Man of Steel I thought was pretty good but everything after that just seemed too “comic booky” for me. The descriptions I’ve read of the planned Gunn slate of films sounds just as “comic booky” as many of the Snyderverse films.

reply

This is gonna be just as bad in different ways. Gunn's Suicide Squad-verse may be a more cohesive vision than what we've had to date, but we all know what kind of movies this guy makes. What his attitudes are. He is no better a choice to run the show than Snyder was. The fact that there's gonna be a solo Batman series running along side his nonsense that he doesn't have any sway over says tons. Billion dollar Joker sequel is off hands too. DC is still protecting their number one property.

as Much I liked Man Of Steel it was divisive also Hope Superman Legacy Blends tones of MOS Action and Superman The Movie Story and Character Even MCU Captain America acted more like Superman than DCEU Superman though Snyder was revealed to be Gradual development.
