While I do agree that these random hot takes from people who may or may not have the full picture are doing a lot of harm, that really isn't outside the norm for any entertainment industry.
It does feel like there are more leaks than normal from Hollywood but might just be because I am paying more attention now.
I did get a kick out of this part:
I can easily find a lot of bullshit of varying degrees online. Doesn't mean I take any of it at face value!
Yes. the good old media is out to take down the DCEU. We haven't had that one for a while.
I stopped reading at that. All I could think of was the RLM fake podcast "Well, I, Personally, LOVED this movie".

I feel bad for all the people who worked really hard on this and who are of no fault of the outcome.
Now see.. I legit didn't know he was involved with WW man. I swear to god this dude.
Yet you apparently didn't bother to read a few more posts down and see that I told everyone in this thread that he only has as story credit and that he DID NOT write this movie. A story credit is essentially meaningless in extended universe movies. He gets it because he created the universe and may have had some kind of input for how to connect the movie to Justice League. That doesn't mean any of his ideas or story beats were used.
Jenkins, Johns, and Heinberg are the ones that actually wrote the movie.
People do realize Nolan has a story credit on Man of Steel as well, right? That dude probably didn't do shit on that movie when it was all said and done.
Yeah, I think Snyder's contribution is limited to ideas and pitches as to how this movie ties into the greater scheme of things and preserving continuity.

All these years later I still chuckle at what a fucking moron that guy is.
It's a Gal Gadot vehicle, if you had high hopes you were delirious. Shoehorning in Chris Pine, as great as he is, isn't going to save a movie centered around a main character played by somebody who can't act at all.

This is such a moot point. They might have been "trying" to create a shared film universe long before Marvel managed it, but coincidentally only managed it five years after Marvel very successfully launched theirs. (Or three years if you want to count Green Lantern). Like, it's obvious that a huge aspect of Warner signing off on this series of films was down to Marvel's huge success in the genre.
What did he expect though? He's playing one of the most famous characters from pop culture, so of course people are going to be more interested in that than a mediocre relatively low-budget gangster film. Unless he gets other big roles like Christian Bale did then he's going to be typecast as Batman for the next few years; especially so if people have the DCCU under a microscope because the films have been really bad so far.

I think what people liked about Wonder Woman in BvS was really her awesome fight vs. Doomsday. The score was great, her "reveal" wasn't exactly a surprise, but it was fun. She looked OP as fuck, and we got to see the shield, bracelets, lasso, and sword all in action.
That is what I hear about when people discuss Wonder Woman in BvS. What I don't really hear about is her interactions with Bruce and Clark before the fight. Those scenes are much more indicative of Gadot's acting, and they're worringly forgettable to me.

I dunno. I feel like there isn't much required of actors in a typical superhero movie, so I think Gal Gadot meets the requirements as long as the script and direction is good. She already looks and fights convincingly based on the trailers.
I think that's more due to the shitty writing. The little chat during the dance, for instance, pales in comparison to the one in Batman Returns and TDKR. What yawn-inducing lines compared to the two movies.

There has been no evidence of shared universe building in the WB DC movies. Even BvS started out as a sequel to MoS and got expanded to a gateway into Justice League and everything DCEU later on.

They'll just crank the Wonder Woman theme up to 11 and hope for the best.
Hmmm maybe that electric cello might not mesh so well with the WW1 era set pieces.

I liked the casting for Batman, Alfred, Perry White, the Kents, Jor-El and Zod but the scripts let 'em down. I agree with you on Supes and WW.
If you don't like the theme or don't think it works then fair enough, but claiming that people will be in fits of hysterical laughter whenever it comes on screen is nothing short of nonsense.

Man I hope this isn't true. I very little confidence in Justice League and was hoping at least this would turns out well. If Wonder Woman is atrocious it will probably be time to send Justice League and the Batman out to whatever critical fate awaits and reboot the whole thing with a set of competent producers and creators.

That article wasn't that well written, but I don't know how people can say there isn't a bandwagon effect when an unsourced one-line comment about Wonder Woman makes a thread this big, with many comments along the lines of "I knew it!"

It keeps getting bigger because some folks feel the need to bump it to complain about the size of the thing. Plenty don't agree or believe this news. They've also been here. Not sure how you missed them. Most will take the "wait and see" approach like adults..

Reads like some hurt DC fanboy wrote it. I can smell the salt of his tears from here.
I liked Cavill too. It's just that the script doesn't give him much to work with and the director... Well... Yeah.

If the script allowed him to *enjoy* being Superman, it would make a world of difference.

Not even close. Henry Cavill i can understand. He didnt have a great career before MoS, just a decent role in Tudors, but Ben Affleck likely got hired after directing and starring in The Town and Argo, the latter won an Oscar for Best Picture. He was the next big thing in directing and they wanted to build a franchise around him just like they did with Christian Bale.
Russell Crowe, Kevin Kostner, Diane Lane, Amy Adams are all fantastic actors who were cast because of their star power AND their acting abilities.
And Gal looks almost perfect as Wonder Woman. She was one of the best things in BvS and was widely praised by everyone. I have no idea what you are on about.
The only one who was cast poorly was Michael Cera and that's all Zach's fault for thinking this crazy nutjob actor would be perfect as a crazy nutjob Lex. if anything, his looks had nothing to do with the casting since he looks nothing like Lex.
Deadshot and Harley were also the best thing in SS. And it's because both Will Smith and Margot Robbie are great actors.
Michael Cera is the worst Luthor. Even worse than Eisenberg!

Eisenberg, like Leto, were solid castings on paper. Hearing about Jesse Eisenberg casting, first thought is "Oh, he'll be a slightly eviler Mark Zuckerberg?" A contemporary take on Lex Luthor just as Bryne's take on the character was on his Man of Steel run. But then the movie is out and he's eccentric, has nervous tics, too many affectations. At times I felt it worked, on the helipad when confronting Superman. Other times, like, why are you crying and getting poetic when making Doomsday?
Leto, again, it's easy to see how he'd be a solid Joker. He's a talented actor. But then they went in the honka honka direction.

Right. I totally forgot about Leto but he had just won the Oscar and WB loves to go after critically acclaimed actors. It just didn't work out. I rather liked leto when he wasn't being so overly dramatic. Both actors went full eccentric and as Tony stark once said you never go full retard.

Michael Cera huh? Yeah... I don't think you know much about actual acting.
You rightfully notice Afflecks success as a director. If we want to talk about directing not acting I have plenty negative to say about snyders garbage filmmaking

Not bad. Not bad at all.
Honestly, a fair and even-handed article doesn't get any response, because it doesn't provide enough ammunition for ridicule.
Maybe we'll discuss it in depth once you post one.
Who gon post one tho
Still one of the best scenes in the entire MCU.
MCU Stan: Cap dives into a grenade when it's miles away from anyone. He's so selfless
MCU Stan:Superman allows himself to get nuked and spears Doomsday with krptonite due to that being the only thing he could do . Superman's an idiot
