Y-you do know he wears that after his "death" in the comics? Or are you being funny?
Why would anyone want to talk about being unbiased and civil?
Stay taking them L's DC/WB. lol Snyder.

Seven Samurai had a lot of light hearted humor fwiw (things got bad as well tho).
Tbh I think fellowship of the ring and seven Samurai are the gold standard for ensemble adventure movies. The likes of which any avengers or justice league movie will never even come close to touching
The problem that some people have with jokes in these movies is that they're so badly timed and feel shoehorned in some of the marvel flicks. They need to be more natural and "right time and place" is important too. Like I hope the Justice League doesn't engage in cornball banter during their big battle scene. When they're hanging out tho by all means do what you gotta do.
speaking of LOTR though I think WB should pursue Howard Shore to work on Aquaman. If he applied some of that Middle Earth magic on Atlantis man that would be so good.

The lack of colour complaints never disappoint! What year is it?!
I loved how in Civil War they were joking around while discussing the Sokovia Accords and announcing
Peggy's death
I found Civil War to have the perfect amount of jokes. They didn't overdo at all. Compared to Age of Ultron which was just way too much. Then again maybe I'm not remembering Civil War that well.

Stark was his best in Civil War since Iron Man 1. Like he finally had a good balance instead of just being a walking and talking joke machine. RDJ stole that movie.
But while the airport scene is my favorite of the film, and prolly the only thing I'll end up revisiting in the movie years from now, man they went overboard with that one. Spiderman I get, but everybody else is having these lame ass back and forths to the point where the scene just looks like a glorified training session. Hell, maybe Nick Fury hires out an airport every year for them to spar in now.
Hawkeye is what pushed it over the top imo.

More than TWS, way less than AoU. Good balance.
Interesting. For me it wasn't the amount, but the timing of said jokes. Winter Soldier's were well placed and didn't ruin the tone of the scene they were going for.
Yea I don't have a problem at all with Clark being a good journalist. But he was at the DP for what, 9 months? To win multiple prizes in that span, and then be sent off to cover sports just doesn't make sense. If your best writer wants to write an expose on a damn vigilante, you would let him! The makers probably never expected anybody to pause the film and read the obituary lol. In fact, after I think 1-2 paragraphs, it just repeats itself because they ran out of things to say.

Winter Soldier has a far better tone throughout the film and was paced much better. But Civil War has Stark and Spiderman in it and a better end-game conflict.
Anyways it's not hard, just time your humor better and shut these characters up sometimes. That's about it. Hopefully JL is pretty far-removed from Avengers though. I don't want a DC equivalent of that or age of ultron. It would be nice for both universes to continue to be quite different from each other. Especially since between Marvel and DC there will be like 4-5 movies a year now haha.

The only thing that really irritated me about CW was Tony's dismissal of Bucky being controlled during that time. It's not like he wasn't familiar with the concept. Happened to him and Hulk during AoU. Happened to Hawkeye and some other members of SHIELD during the first Avengers. He handwaved all of that. But it was about his mom this time and now it mattered. Nevermind the lives lost before. Civil War's "Martha" moment. Doesn't ruin the movie for me or anything but I didn't buy it.

Eh he was angry. People don't think rationally then, especially since he was literally watching the footage of his parent's murder right beside the murderer himself lol.

The big reveal at the end of Civil War was pretty stupid to me and kinda took me out of the movie to be honest. I don't really have any intentions on seeking out Civil War again unless I find it on TV one of the few times I randomly surf the channels.
I think it was BvS that fucked it up for me, lol. Bruce realizes he's being a shit, Tony starts to not be a shit and then goes back to being a shit, haha.

I liked it because it revealed both Stark and Cap to be hypocritical in what they were fighting for. Both were victims of their emotions.
I was very much pro-Cap going in and still came out pro-Cap but he did act pretty ridiculous at points.

There's a difference between box office and hitting pop culture. The movie's doing very well at the box office, but it's seeped it's way into pop culture because of good marketing, a trendy soundtrack with original material, and because it has characters that actually make an impression... But MCU guys wouldn't know much about that.
lol
Didn't the events of BVS happen like 18mths after MoS? I thought the explanation in the film was that a huge fight broke out which damn near tore Cyborg in half and Perry thought it would sell more papers than a crime wave in a city where crime is endemic.

So, guys..I was watching MoS again, and I have to be honest with you. The first flight sequence is FUCKING GREAT! Zimmer's score really brings that scene to life. I remember I had goosebumps in the cinema when I first saw it, and I had them now as well. What a great scene!

Bruh, come on...
This is hilarious but also incredibly sad. Please grow up for your own sake.
Anywho, moving on from the realm of fanboy delusion, someone should actually make a thread on Faraci's rebuttal. It's a good piece on the pitfalls of anonymous accusations in Hollywood.
Ok that video is awesome
BadAss2961

Never needed Faraci to state the obvious. Just squash it.
People only believed in that open letter because they wanted to. Whether for clicks or just to troll the DCEU. Guek, I thought I saw you in that thread swallowing that bs.
Because parts of it are an accurate commentary ya dingus. You need to realize not everything is peachy at WB or for the DCEU and stop living in your fanboy fantasy dream world.
BadAss2961
Member
Yeah, sure... You believed it was real, yet somehow i'm the dingus. lol
Talk about fantasy dream worlds, it took hindsight and a Faraci piece for you to see through something that was obviously fake. Just admit, you believed it was real because you wanted to.
MoS has so many moments that amaze me. Is there any word out there on an extended cut of the film? It and 300 are the only Snyder films with no director's cut out there.
Whether it's fake or not isn't confirmed one way or another. I was always skeptical of the claims about wonder woman but much of the actual content of the letter discussing layoff practices in Hollywood and the rewarding of failure is accurate. Use your fucking brain for once and realize not everything is a about your fanboyism.
Fucking hell, you don't even have the wits to realize you're doing exactly what you're arguing against, believing or disbelieving something based soley on your fanboy allegiances. Remember when you mocked all those reports of BvS being in bad shape? Well look what happened. You're an embarrassment to DC fans.

What reports did I dismiss? or wrongly dismiss? I honestly don't remember. BvS went through dozens and dozens of cycles, and my responses were usually in line with most of the fans in this thread.
Now back to the situation at hand. Here's your first post in that thread.
OMG, she has connections if her story is legit... So i'm prone to believe her!
lol, wtf guek... Was it really that easy?
That's kind of what I want. Seven Samurai and Fellowship have their lighthearted moments but at their cores is a story that goes into some dark places. They're serious with actual stakes attached to them. I just feel like blockbusters these days, with their intent to franchise these films, are shying away from stories with weight. I think with Snyder at the helm JL could attempt to be something like those greats. Snyder, for all you could fault him, the dude at least tries to give you something ambitious with his movies. Can't hate on that.
I'm not against jokes (I should say quips) btw. I just think it's become an overdone technique to inject some levity into scenes. Uncharted 4 anyone?
Oh and nice idea with Howard Shore doing Aquaman. The LOTR soundtrack is an all-timer.

I still haven't finished 4. I get too sidetracked. I play like 8 games at a time. I just restarted playing DOA5:LR for no reason.

Work on finishing that. It's worth it. One of the more satisfying endings for a series.
Your responses were typical fanboy dismissal and mocking of anything negative and desperate felatio of any positive rumors.
I said I'm prone to believe her, meaning likely, assuming she actually has connections. Considering all the rumors of DCEU movies being a shit show have turned out to be true, yes, I'm more likely to give negative rumors about Wonder Woman more credence. This is not hard to grasp, and your desperate attempt to discredit me is just embarrassing you more.
Yeah, even though I get kinda tired of Nathan smart assing on everything, it's hard to deny Uncharted 4's ace status. Loved playing it and a great ending.

So in other words, you took an L here. In the future, don't refer us to some Faraci shit after you yourself fell for it and gave credence to it just because it fit your negativity vibe. Even I called bullshit and pointed out how any random forum dweller could've written that letter. Before Faraci did it.
Recommend a thread about my piece next time.
And hold that L.
God, it's like talking to a literal child. I didn't refer this thread to the Faraci, I said it made some good points worth discussing. The letter hasn't been discredited either so stop acting like a jackass and pretending it has just to fit your insanely immature world view. It's still just hearsay. It's possible to have an opinion that goes beyond nut hugging a company. Not everything is all good or all bad, that's the world view of a fucking six year old.
Holy shit, why do the rest of you put up with his idiocy when it makes DC gaf look like terrible manbabies.
