Maybe it's weird, but my hypelevels for Batman v. Superman aren't that high. But that's mostly because I didn't care much for Man of Steel. Or any Zach Snyder movie for that matter.

Better yet Snyder only made one good movie and that was a remake. ... ... and I still prefer the original.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

My buddy who I always go to the cinema is so excited for this movie that I always feel a little bit sorry that I dont go nuts over it

 

[Freezasaurus]

Oh lawd Daredevil in eight days

I know what I'm doing next weekend.

I'm actually looking forward to Batman vs. Superman and Suicide Squad more than any of the Marvel films. I feel like there's a bit too much saturation right now with Marvel movies.

Oh I can totally understand with all of the Marvel movies.I think it's a good thing that most of the Avengers crew will be taking a break for two years until Infinity War.

And I'll be honest, Suicide Squad looks far more interesting than BvS. I was really surprised by the official trailer. Maybe because it didn't take itself too serious. Either way, I'm really curious about Leto's Joker btw. Dude is an amazing actor.

 

[TheFlow]

I've been playing it,, dont have alot of time in it yet, but yeah its sweet.
I have mainly been playing solo,, played a couple missions with a buddy.



Yup

are you playing division on ps4? i will be on a lot tomorrow

 

[Tyrant Rave]

I think it holds up really well, as I posted the other day, for my money that's still the definitive run.

That's comforting to hear. I might get it since this is cheaper than buying the omni for it online. Not sure if I'll get it for sure yet.

Might have to check out Mockingbird too. I was mildly interested but seeing some good buzz here has me curious in it.

Oh yeah uh marvel movies are a thing huh

 

[Owzers]

i'm interested in Suicide Squad and Civil War but not Batman vs Superman. Snyder/Man of Steel reasons.

Mockingbird was very enjoyable, from both art and story perspectives. You should definitely give it a try.

Snyder is usually pretty good about working with established source material. When he tries to make something completely his own, we end up with horrifying results like Sucker Punch. I think the issue with Superman, or at least the most well-known depiction of him is that he just isn't that interesting.

frank miller collection growing huge.( darknight returns collection not posted)

 

[Freezasaurus]

Hmm.... For anyone who missed the Black Canary Bombshell statue, it looks like DC is taking pre-orders on their shop for another run. They ship on the 11th.

Jesus, that Elektra omni is fucking tiny. Still glad I bought it, I really want to read it.

Regarding comics, I'm totally getting the Secret Wars hardcover next week. But now I want another Secret Wars book next to it; Spider-Man Renew your Vows is on my list (I like the story plus it has the Secret Love mini included) but are there any other Secret Wars books which are pretty good? I liked the Old Man Logan one.

 

[TheFlow]

yea I like to post my new hc next to others for a size reference. ^^


Are there any decent Daredevil and elektra statues? Punisher too?

X-Men 92

Eh. You really need to buy that kind of thing near the release window or you risk paying aftermarket prices. Sideshow has made statues of all those characters, but they've been sold out for some time. Aftermarket prices are usually pretty lol.

Also, how much would you be looking to spend?

Did...Did you just blame the actual character Superman for Man of Steel being a shitty movie over its director?

Snyder is a commercial director who flails when given more than 10 minutes and needs to direct actual actors over say, a Whopper.
Time has not been kind to 300. The less said about Sucker Punch the better. And his Watchman is the perfect case study for why we shouldn't slavishly reproduce another work, especially if you don't understand what it's actually saying.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Watchmen was fucking amazing

 

[Freezasaurus]

no more than 100

Ah, that's going to limit your options. Most decent comic statues start at around $150, with Kotobukiya's Fine Art series (1/6 scale) running about $200-ish per. They made a solid Daredevil a few years ago:

I think list price on him was about $185.

They also have a super-rad Thanos coming out:

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Watchmen was fucking amazing

Is it 1987 again?

Yeah, I like the film as well. JDM and Jackie Earl Haley are brilliant.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Watchmen was fucking amazing

Sure, but I'll be honest. It didn't really do anything for me on repeat viewings. It just made me mostly bored.

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Sure, but I'll be honest. It didn't really do anything for me on repeat viewings. It just made me mostly bored.

I think I have seen it three times included the time I saw it in cinema.

The mars scene where Dr. Manhatten build his glas fortress was so amazing. Really have to rewatch it when my new TV is here.

To bad we didnt got the extendet cut

I didn't say there aren't some breathtaking scenes in it. But taken as a whole, rewatches just make it feel like a slog for me.

Did...Did you just blame the actual character Superman for Man of Steel being a shitty movie over its director?

Sure did.

But honestly, I liked Man of Steel. Easily the best of the modern Superman films.

I never re-watch 99% of movies. Too much new shit to be re-watching stuff.

this is how i feel about comics, though my movie re-watches are usually when i'm bored and i put something on i don't feel like i have to pay attention to.

Team Fuck It vs. Team Wrong

 

[Freezasaurus]

I never re-watch 99% of movies. Too much new shit to be re-watching stuff.

Pretty much my view as well. Though if I like a movie a lot, I'll usually scoop it up on Blu-Ray, but my collection is much smaller than it was when DVD was the dominant format. And I think that's for the best. I don't really waste money buying TV series or anything anymore because I know I'm never going to watch them again.

 

[Freezasaurus]

Team Fuck It vs. Team Wrong

Wait, wait. WHAT? Captain America done fucked up if he's on Team Minority Report. Look at these clowns. I thought all of these people were smarter than this.

Wow, Panther on the right team. Carol LEADING the wrong team.

Wow.

How hard do y'all think Slayven is right now?

 

[Freezasaurus]

Ha ha, holy shit. I didn't even see Panther in that pic. But fuck yeah.

But Medusa? Jesus, lady. I'm surprised at you.

 

[Freezasaurus]

If it's the same as the Android app, just hold down on any given comic, and then select "Remove from Device" from the menu that shows up.

 

[MartyStu]

Going by her characterization in A-Force, this seems on point.

Civil War 2 is going to be the best event of all time.

If you miss out on the sale and decide to pick up the omni somewhere down the line, you'll be getting a high quality book. I bought it for my wife for Christmas and DC did a great job on it, the binding is nice, there is wrap around cover art, and great page stock.

Roman deserves better than this comparison.
