Definitely still looking forward to Suicide Squad. That one so far is looking great.
A bunch of idiots paying money to see the worst movie of the year from the worst director ever. /s

It's going to be a good time. If you need something to quench your SS thirst, I recommend this analysis video of the first official trailer. I was shocked with the amount of details that I missed. So much so that I should probably give everyone a spoiler warning as he also talks about images/videos caught on set.
I guarantee someone in one of the OT threads had this exact thought.
People are free to dislike this movie. I just they didn't feel the need to be smug pricks about it to the people who like it.
Was it confirmed that SS is taking place before BVS? Or is it taking place after?

After.

After.
Can't wait the day when Verendus comes here and says something like 'I saw Suicide Squad a while ago, it's pretty good'.

BvS/Snyder thread number 13!
A bunch of internet tough guys. I try to ignore it.
Really interesting to see how this ties into BvS and
Batman trying to get the JL together for a threat
Walked into a thread, saw Snyder ruined both these characters and released the worst movie of the year, did a 180 and was like nope not worth it.

Is it really all Zack's Fault?
This movie felt like a "catch up" maybe WB told Zack that and was forced to make a set up type movie.

Huh? We've known for 2 years Eisenburg was Lex.. how are you still getting mad at this? If he came out and set Cranston was never considered you'd be complaining "they didn't even give him a look?!!" This is such a trivial thing to get mad about.
No it's not all his fault. WB is at fault as well as Terrio and Goyer. I'm not sure why their not getting more hate.

Cause nobody knows exactly what they did and didn't do. We know what Zack did.
I'm not saying I'm mad at Jesse being Lex. I never minded the casting. It's how Snyder decides to come with this NOW. He is under heavy fire for fumbling this movie, should just stay quiet and work on your shit (JL), but he keeps talking... If I were him I wouldn't even go to comic-con. I wouldn't be surprised if DC fans express their frustration there and outright boo him when he takes the stage.
Just lay low and work quietly on the movie. Simple.

Sorry. Didn't mean to do that. I just felt Zack wasn't really the main Reason because he directed a pretty good movie with Man of Steel.
Considering he went on record saying most of the cuts to the films length are recent, I wouldn't doubt there is a much much better movie in the extended edition
And there are also fans who love the movie. Right now you're acting as if everyone universally hated the movie. The movie is divisive no doubt has some hurdles but now you're getting mad at anything the man says. It's not that serious.
The people that wait long enough to get into Hall H are not going to boo him. He is going to show a small teaser of JL and he will be loved again by the fans.

you're overreacting. the movie hasn't failed, it just released today and fan reactions are mostly from very positive to good. only the most shrill are saying it's a disaster.
It's sort of hard to be optimistic when this is the only thread on the entire site not filled and ran by a carnival of stupid
Yea but this is GAF. A lot of threads are ran by a carnival of stupid.
Came away disappointed. My full thoughts are in the spoiler thread but to keep it brief there is plenty of wasted potential. Some interesting themes and ideas were presented that make complete sense. The execution on how to implement those ideas and themes comes up short. The film is disjointed and at times all over the place trying to do too much.
Positives:
Affleck was great (best Batman action on film)
Gadot was solid (more intrigued for the solo film)
Irons makes a great Alfred
Snyder still knows how to make powerful characters feel powerful
I still enjoyed it more than MoS. The reviews that are claiming this is the worst thing to happen to superhero films are taking it way too far. This isn't worst superhero film to be released in the past few years. Much rather watch this again than a safe cookie cutter throwaway of a film like Thor: The Dark World.

Correct. This narrative that BvS is a failure is false. The vast majority of people liked it and it's on track to have a huge opening weekend. Will it have huge legs? Probably not. It doesn't need them to be considered a success.
I do t use GAF or any Internet forum as a barometer of anything. Everything is usually extreme.

LOL wut.
Similar situation happened with MOS: shredded by critics and divisive with the audience but the film had plenty of fans and a few weeks after opening Snyder was in Hall H to applause that then went on to be one of the biggest moments in the hall because of what he announced.
So, how about the Extended Universe, eh? Let's have a rap-session about these guys:
My hope is that WB pushes the sci-fi up to 11 with the Green Lantern Corps film and has them taking on some cosmic threat. I'm really curious to see how they get introduced into the DCEU.
You know who'd do a great Flash or Green Lantern (especially if it's a buddy cop)? Lord and Miller... unfortunately they bailed on the Flash project to do the Han Solo project. Here's hoping they wrap and WB can get them to do GL. They had them with Lego and almost had them again with the Lego sequel and Flash.
If you're going to wait in those nightmarish lines for hours to get into Hall H to see a conference that includes Zack Snyder, you're not going to boo the man.
lol, how convenient that this is the thread you're most likely to hear exactly what you want to hear.
Gaf has been fun these past few days. Admittedly stupid and juvenile but fun.

This is the exact opposite of how I felt during the time TFA came out.

One thing does bug me tho is the constant thread title change, I feel it just brings more hate in the review thread. It's also a bit childish.
