WHY the fuck would WB put Zack Snyder in charge of the DCEU? Fucking WHY?
>>
The same reason that Abrams is in charge of Star Wars. They have a ruthless grasp of how to create films that make lots of money no matter how good or bad they are.
>>
>>81021838
This is why Micheal Bay is in charge of Transformers, in fact he may have proven that this practice is completely legit. If you want to string someone up for string him up because he's the one that showed studios it's possible.
>>
>>81021764
I don't think any other director wanted to be in charge. They really should have brought in more comic people.
>>
>>81021764
because WB doesn't care about /co/'s opinions

and why should they?
>>
>>81021892
at least with with a Bay film you have some fun. He's the master I think he's the only one who can do it
>>
The worst thing is that while Zack Snyder's best film he's ever made is only a 75% on Rotten Tomatoes, and that's only because of a remake, he's still going to be rich, famous, and have a better life than all of us. Even if he gets booted by WB, he's still going to continue making boatloads of money with his shitty movies.
>>
>>81021764
Blame his wife
>>
>>81021838
Abrams isnt in charge of star wars. He was only hired to do 1 movie. Rian Johnson is in charge of the 2nd one.
>>
I honestly can't think of a reason. I was going to attempt humor but I fucking can't. Get this retard away from movies I care about.

He was one of their payroll guys. Look at all his movies, its almost entirely WB.

300 did really well despite shit reviews. It was a pop culture moment.

So they bankrolled his future projects off that goodwill and he was the one that wanted to make Watchmen to "save it from the Terry Gilliams of the world" which is such a hilariously arrogant thing to say.

So then WB, who historically has not given a single fuck about comic book properties, HAS to make a Superman movie. Watchmen didn't do great, but he's still their comic book guy.

Seriously, look at the short list for MoS. Snyder was the only one that even presented a pitch that even resembled Superman.

So here we are. Cause WB just doesn't care.
>>
Because he makes great fucking movies for specific audiences with specific prererences in certain brand characters and the other audiences will see the film regardless because of the brand.
>>
>>81022330
>wanted to make Watchmen to "save it from the Terry Gilliams of the world"
Jesus Christ what an asshole. And what an odd choice for person to randomly be disrespectful to for no reason.

>Seriously, look at the short list for MoS. Snyder was the only one that even presented a pitch that even resembled Superman.

When you put it that way, it makes sense why they would continue with him but even though Man of Steel was good in reality, it still got scathing reviews. Why didn't they broaden their search when looking for someone to do Man of Steel?
>>
>>81022392
>Because he makes great fucking movies for specific audiences with specific prererences

This the exact reason you don't give a tentpole franchise to a niche director. Im not even shitting on snyder, i dont care if he is good or bad. But if only a narrow demo actually likes his stuff, he should not be in charge of a franchise meant for mass appeal
>>
>>81021838
Sucker Punch and Watchmen didn't exactly sweep the box office. They weren't failures either, but he's not some blockbuster maestro like you're suggesting
>>
>>81022445
Because they just don't care. Man of Steel could have been literally the worst movie ever made, but it did make a lot of money, and as long as Snyder keeps making movies that bring in a lot of money, he's allowed to fuck with whatever property he wants.
>>
>>81022445
>even though Man of Steel was good in reality
>>
>>81022506
Everything except the relentless infinite ending of global destruction and murder.
>>
>>81022506
Different people have different opinions. As a person who though Man of Steel was complete shit, you should fuck off.
>>
>>81022445
I remembered that a long time back that the rumor was that WB wanted to get a movie made soon because of the conflict they were having with the Siegel estate over Superman, so they decided on Snyder because he was reliable and could get stuff done faster.
>>
>>81022392

Zack and/or Deborah Snyder pls leave
>>
>>81022445
>even though Man of Steel was good in reality

I dont hate it like most of /tv/ or /co/, but it really fell apart in the 3rd act. Was going great up until then.
>>
>>81022470
I disagree.
After 5 movies with same style and tone mostly I think it's fair to experiment.

Jason goes to hell is maligned as its so radically different from the rest of the f13 series but it in fact is ones of the franchises best films, has one of the most mature well acted cast of the series. Great gore and some damn good chase scenes and overall is one of the best body swapping films out there Comparable to if not better then The Hidden.
>>
>>81021764
He's such a smug fuck and he has literally 0 reasons to be.
>>
>>81022662
He thinks he's a talented artiste because his movies are unbearably serious in a teenage faggot sort of way.
>>
>>81021764
He has a history with comic book films (300, Watchmen). Problem is that WB hired a fanboy instead of a filmmaker.

What gets me is seeing Marvel put all these comedic directors in charge, like Whedon, Gunn, the Russos, Favreau, Wright, some who have zero experience with action, let alone a big budget cape movie and absolutely dominate the super hero movie landscape.

Meanwhile DC hires Snyder, the quintessential all flash, no substance action director, he fucks up not just one, but two movies and they have him down to stay involved with the rest of DCCU.

My point is when will DC stop and think, "Hey what is Marvel doing to be successful that we aren't?"
>>
Because integrity? True to the source? What's that?

WB only cares about two things: slapping a bunch of heroes together to capitalize on Avengers, and having it make Avengers-level profits. Who cares if it's actually good or not? Why bother building up to it like Marvel did? Rush that shit!
>>
>>81022873
If they'd realize that it's the name recognition that's making these movies a success, rather than the director, they could actually hire competent people, probably for a much lower price.
>>
>>81022873
I guess its because Marvel has a Feige who probably has perfected a safe formula for knowing what audiences and critics will generally like. Also we have only seen Snyder films. I'm really curious about Wonder Woman cos I think SS will do pretty good. If all of the solo movies for the rest of the Justice League are good then the only problem would be Snyder.
>>
>>81022902
>Why bother building up to it like Marvel did? Rush that shit!
I like how /co/ would always jump down your throat if you even suggested that "copying" Marvel's formula might possibly be a good idea. Every time someone even remotely suggests it, it's always:

>"How DARE DC try to do new things?"
>"You can have a cinematic universe with all sorts of established, named characters in the background! Just look at Star Wars and the X-Men movies!"
>"No, shut up, it'll be good!"

I mean, come on.
>>
>>81023048
DC's business plan for the shared universe is a facsimile of Marvel's, except with no direction and less talent. That's their whole fucking problem.
>>
>>81023048
You do realize that MoS was rushed into production so WB could hold onto the movie rights, right?

Do you think shoving Batman and Wonder Woman into said sequel doesn't seem like a rush move either?

For fuck sake anon, Justice League is supposed to release NEXT YEAR.
>>
>>81023133
The problem is that DC is worried people will get tired of superhero movies, so they rushed the whole thing and wanted to have Avengers even though they only made one solo movie.
>>
>>81023133
>DC's business plan for the shared universe is a facsimile of Marvel's, except with no direction and less talent. That's their whole fucking problem.
Not so far. Marvel never did anything like BvS.

I was agreeing with him.

>>81022632
When you try to apply the same principles to super hero movies, you get BvS and MoS

Its not the same. Now if David Ayer can't salvage the franchise the entire DCEU is in danger.

>>
>>81022330
>who historically has not given a single fuck about comic book properties
Except TDK and its sequel were some of the highest grossing movies of all time and they had originally planned to launch a shared universe with Batman Begins, Superman Returns and their planned Green Lantern movie.
>>
>>81023231
>Marvel never did anything like BvS.
It never did an ensemble film where your favorite characters initially clash but team up to defeat a great evil?
>>
>>81023254
Context.

Marvel slowly built up to the Avengers through solo movies.

Meanwhile, WB followed up a Superman reboot with a JL pilot, before JL Part One and Two.
>>
>>81023164
Given that they delayed BVS I don't think WB is really rushing as badly as you portray. It's possible that Snyder just thought having Batman and Wonder Woman in a sequel was a good idea. And I can imagine someone(besides Snyder) making a really good movie out of that. Its not an inherently flawed idea. I think WB is just generally incompetent, that doesn't necessarily mean rushing.
>>
>>81021764

Snyder delivered with 300 and Watchmen two comicbook movies that will be remembered in kino history for years... meanwhile at Marvel, they can be lucky if people still talk about Avengers in 10 years.
>>
>>81023254
>counting Suicide Squad as build up to Justice League
wut

And Wonder Woman is a prequel set almost 100 years ago. We've already met her in BvS. That's not much of a build up either.
>>
>>81023251
Definitely have higher hopes on that film now. David Ayer has proved time and time again that he is a great director/writer. If SS doesn't provide a high paced "fun" thrill ride, DCEU is going to die. WW will be dead in the water. I'm apprehensive, but I still have hope.
>>
>>81023354
Snyder, shouldn't you be trying to make more shitty movies?
>>
>>81023354
back in my day, shitposting meant something
>>
>>81023336
Uh, not in the same way as BvS.

Because BvS is part-MoS follow up, part-JL prequel, part introduction to Batman, WW, the Flash, and Aquaman.

It doesn't neatly fall into any one category like anything Marvel does. It is messy.

Normally I'd agree with you, but JL is supposed to start filming next week.

Thats a lot of wasted money if they delay it.
>>
>>81022873
The russos hadn't even directed a film at the time, they had only worked on tv like arrested development. You have far more control over smaller directors, who are more likely to follow the companys vision. Hell, gareth edwards got the godzilla film for reasons like these.

And zack snyder decided who was right in character disagreements with actors in bvs by having pushup competitions with them on set.
>>
>>81023418
>In danger of what, making lots of money?

In danger is becoming a joke for this generation of movie goers. Like the first xmen trilogy. Which would prompt yet another reboot.
>>
>>81023414
Iron Man 2 is probably the closest. Imagine Iron Man 2 if Marvel had made it about Captain America fighting him and cameo'd or foreshadowed all of the rest of the Avengers.
>>
>>81023341
>Marvel slowly built up to the Avengers through solo movies.
They did 3 solo movies (IM, Thor, Cap) that built up to the Avengers.

>Meanwhile, WB followed up a Superman reboot with a JL pilot, before JL Part One and Two.
Man of Steel introduced Superman
Batman v Superman reintroduced Batman
Wonder Woman solo explores WW

3 vs. 3... I dont see how thats such a big difference.

About that.
If memory serves the budget for BvS was about $450mil, and the rule of thumb is a movie has to make at least twice it's budget to be considered profitable.

Now I'm not saying $900mil isn't likely, Hell people will see it just because they recognized the names Batman and Superman, but the reviews aren't exactly helping.

>>81023676

>>
>>81023540
>They did 3 solo movies (IM, Thor, Cap) that built up to the Avengers.

Also Incredible Hulk, and Iron Man 2 introduced Black Widow.
>>
>>81023597
They didn't kick his ass to the curb after MoS, but maybe WB will learn after BvS.

Maybe.
>>
>>81023699
It's not just that. I suspect WB expected BvS to gross in excess of 1.5 billion. When they realize bad management or creative lost them several hundred million dollars, heads will roll.
>>
>>81022186

Abrams has overall creative control of the franchise.
>>
>>81023699
>the budget for BvS was about $450mil
It was $250mil for production and $200mil for marketing (which is never included in these things for other movies), most of which is probably already paid back with sponsor deals.
They're not gonna lose money.

Then why Johnson pushed production back to rewrite the second movie the moment he signed his contract (which stipulated he had right to do so)?

tbf Gilliams script sounded pretty shit.
It apparently was gonna end with Manhattan travelin back in time to stop the events of the movie from ever happening. Than the main characters would be transported to the alternate timeline (but still with their original personalities).

Good old nepotism.
>>
>>81024136
Also, the alternate time line would be "our" world, and some guy would be reading Watchmen and shout something at them. Something like that I think.
>>
>>81024063

I think his quote is taken out of context (Snyder's).

Gillian gives zero fucks about the original material and his adaptation showed it. Snyder meant he wanted to keep out of the hands of people who respect the source material. (Even if he fucked it up himself by missing the point of it)

>>81023821
The point of mentioning Black Widow is that over the course of 5 movies Marvel introduced 4 "main heroes" and 1-2 "minor heroes" all prepared for Avengers.

WB is trying to introduce 5-6 main heroes in just 3 films, and a seventh in the movie that's the collab. It's messy. Marvel gave each of its big heroes at least 1 movie to intro as a solo so people are used to them. Batman and WW are just crammed into a Supes sequel and Aquaman, Flash, Cyborg aren't even getting solos to intro them before JL hits.

He is a 21st century artist who is ahead of his time and makes films too deep and profound to be understood by the majority of people. It is only fair that artistic disagreements are settled with a contest of physical prowess.
>>
>>81023472
Russos did Welcome to colingwood, which is a fantastic fucking movie with William H Macy. See it.
>>
>>81024181
This is an over correction.

Okay yeah. Sometimes a legitimate fucking artist like Gilliam is a bad choice for adaptation because his own creative vision is going to overpower the source material.

That doesn't mean one should hire a fucking hack.


At the end of the day, Tim Burton's batman was more good than bad, and probably had as big an impact on the character as frank miller's TDKR.
>>
>>81021764
Nolan personally recommend him for the role.

Snyder was the only one up to the task of creating a Superman film against the clock for the legal right issues.

He probably decided to take on the "Feige" role.

And WB didn't search enough.

WB is a mess right now. Dunno if Tsujihara's fault...

This is the reason Marvel is so good. Comedy directors understand things like narrative tension, dialogue pacing, character. Then you just get good choreographers for the action. Director takes a back seat for those parts and people love the action because they care about the characters.
The you put an action guy like Snyder in charge and you just get big dumb action no one cares about for two hours and forty five minutes.
>>
>>81021764
think transformers. Critics shit all over it but they still sell.
>>
>>81027659

Calling Snyder an action director a longshot

Miller is an action director when he wants to be, abrams and that guy from the fast&furious movies too.

Snyder is a "visuals" director. He constantly attempts to make a visually shocking 2 hour trailer.

>>81028789
is that you just making shit up or has some DC guy said that
>>
>>81028691
I don't think that has been in doubt.

Its definitely going to make money, but it is a movie so costly with so much hanging on its success that even "just" making 800m would be a failure for WB, even if that recoups the investment twice. Also would put in doubt the entire plan ahead that hinges on Snyder's vision.
>>
>>81022873

Marvel has a good producer in Feige.

Also, the comedy background helps in another way.

Pacing.

Effective commedy requires good timing, which results from good direction/edition.

The result is that the movies end up having steady pace, which is why you can make AOU, which is about as long as MOS, and doesn't feel it.

There are two key differences in these two.

We've already seen WW being set up for JL, and the WW movie could potentially be just her backstory with no ties to the future project.

Take it this way. Because DC movies are crap, they are basically separate from the comics and don't really change them in major ways.

It won't flop or make small profit if it won't hit a billion that's not how it work. The point is if BvS won't hit a billion then it will be a huge disappointment and a harassment for WB and DC.

I'm a Marvelfag, I really am, but I was genuinely hoping this movie was going to be great.
Seriously, I get nothing out of seeing things that other people enjoy turn to shit.
I really hoped DC could have their sprawling connected universe, but with talks of another reboot, cutting movies all together and movies getting delayed by months it even years, I just feel bad.

I didn't expect BvS to do well, the trailers didn't look promising, the rumors that circulated about WB concerned with its quality and success, the "MARVEL FANS TOO DUMB TO GET THIS MOVIE" shit, none of it added up to a good outcome.
But 33%?
I've had kidney stones I'd rate higher than that.

Idunno, at the end of the day, company wars just seem like pointless pissing contests and you just have to think about the people who were really looking forward to this movie.

As a fellow Marvelfag, look at it this way. Imagine a world where Avengers underperformed, Whedon was kicked to the curb, and then a real director came in and blew us away with a GOAT Ultron movie. That's what this has the chance to be for DC. Snyder gets taken out early, and he's not around to get his cancer all over everything like Whedon did. This might just be a blessing in the skies

I haven't been keeping up on BvS very much lately. What's this about other pitches that don't resemble Superman?

You know what? I agree now.

I haven't seen it yet so maybe my mind will change, but WB/DC are trying to build a cinematic universe that could rival Marvel's but if the first two movies are getting mixed reviews with BvS getting even worse reviews, then maybe they just need someone to step in. If Suicide Squad does better critically, then WB really needs to re-evalutate their relationship with Snyder. He can cut the commercials for the movies but he needs to stop being the man who's basically setting the tone for the DCEU. You have an Oscar award winning screenwriter and this is still the reception? Nah something is fucky here.

/tv/'s had this thing going for a while where they pretend there's a meaningful difference between "movies" and "film." After a while it got to the point where there was sort of a heirarchy of terms: cinema > film > movies > flicks. This provided enough shitposting ammo for a time, but then someone dug up the term "kino" and added it to the list. Kino is supposed to be that rare form of motion picture that's so good, even the term cinema doesn't do it justice.

Anyway, all the relevant joke here is that Marvel makes capeflicks and DC makes capekino.

Nobody really argues that Thor 2 or Iron Man 2 was good (well not at the same scale that Snyderfags are doing now), and even Whedonfags (like me) will admit Avengers 2 was weird

I'm an F4 fan, but I loved watching Fox's attempt at the recent F4 movie eat shit and die.

Because I'll still always have the comics. The worst adaptation of a comic series can never erase the best issues of that series retroactively.

Because this movie is all DC fans have, and they have hyped themselves up so much that they cannot deal with the crippling disappointment that it is as bad as it is. Some are legitimately stupid and believe that the film is great, others are just doing mental gymnastics to convince themselves it is.

The saddest part is that choosing this hill to die on will hurt them even more. If WB doesn't get rid of Snyder the whole DCEU is fucked.

It's "The Phantom Menace" all over again. For the first month or two, die-hards convinced themselves that it was good.

I'm a big Batman fan. I don't really give two much of a shit about any other capeshit though. I mainly just like Batman. Even I can't deny the truth anymore. DC is getting their asses handed to them by Marvel. There is nothing that Marvel isn't beating DC in, (well maybe the Arkham games). This makes me sad, I just want one good Batman movie that's not Nolanshit or Syndershit.

>>81040010
Bad films leave money on the table. If a bad director cut grosses from 1 billion to 500 million, that's 500 million in lost revenue. And even more damages in reputation costs. So it's not as simple as "oh it'll make money".
>>
I'm watching the movie tomorrow so i can form my own opinion about it.

But DC should do something. They could get someone else to ghost direct Justice League. It just started shooting this week in London, and who is directing Justice League p1? Snyder.

I bet some angry DC higher ups called him yesterday. While at the same time, Feige is getting his dick sucked by class A escorts and celebrating.
>>
>>81039966
First weekend, yes. It will make what it will make. It's difficult to see a "F4ntastic" happening (Since that not only had bad reviews but the Marvel crows following every step of the marketing material)

But legs after that... Well, word-of-mouth can change everything.

I honestly bet for an "Amazing Spider-Man 2"-type of grossing after all it's said and done.
>>
>>81040181
I hope WB is smart enough to see this and fire Snyder this time.

Even when the movie makes a ton of money, it will stay have made less money then if the reviews were positive.

I'm sure the movie will make approximately a fucktillion dollars, but it'll be nowhere near the billion plus that WB wants it to make.

My logic is tons of people will see it for name recognition alone, but the people who watch a movie multiple times won't fill seats just because of name recognition, they'll watch it again if it's a good movie, and right now that's a mighty big IF.

I think any Marvel fan who takes joy out of this is just an idiot at this point. It's funny to see a competitor fail. But it gets old seeing them fail over and over and over again. You have to feel bad at that point. Not to mention BvS being this much of a critical failure is unhealthy for the genre in general.

The only people who win in this are petty Marvel fans who have a hate boner for anything DC related. But nobody else wins. Not DC, not the studio, not fans, not the GA, not the cast, not the filmmakers, nobody.

I am a Green Lantern + X-Men fan, I understand console wars because consoles are expensive electronic gadgets, but dont understand company wars in comics when comics are so cheap and easy to pirate.
I like both Marvel and DC.

I think they didnt have a story to tell, they thought Batman vs Superman, having 2 of the 3 most popular superheroes fight each other, would be enough, and turned the movie in a long ass trailer for future movies.

I do understand the fans who will got watch it even if they know it is terrible, because I will watch the new X Men one no matter its metacritic score, although I expect it to be decent, or even pretty good.

I dont much care for superman because he's always been kind of bland. I know there are stories where he does come off as charming and fills the heart with joy and comfort, but Henry Cavill is not that Superman. He's robotic and lacks charisma.

I'm just not a big Supes fan. He's not that interesting, and when he's in a comic, or a cartoon, or a movie with other superheroes, he's just the least interesting. I look at him the same way I look at frosted flakes. Okay, but there's much better to choose from.

That's actually a nice touch for a pre-World's Finest interaction between them. Superman knows he could just push Batman's shit in if he really wanted to, but he also knows you don't just go around beating the snot out of people who disagree on how to do the same thing, so he does his actual journalist job.

I don't know, the total box office for Sucker Punch was $89.8 million and the budget for it was $82 million. If you go by how studios only see a small cut of the international box office the actual total the studio received might actually be $45 million.

Watchmen had a budget of $130 million and its total box office was $185.3 million, which might actually mean they got $92 million. But the sales on the book were astronomical enough that it might've made up for it.

More like they have no barometer on who can and can't write a super hero plot and most major movie studios plat it safe way to much with the worse of the worse being WB.
Snyder makes comic adaptations successful or not he has a long list of making cape films. There are not a lot of directors like that yet so he shows interest in a cape project WB wants to go forward with he will get a shot at it.

Honestly you would have thought PreDisney Marvel studios string of successes with cape unknown directors and low tier leads actors would have broken this cycle but it seems the old guard isn't ready to risk it sadly.

>>81044159
Even before looking it up, it's obvious they're talking about how the reactions it draws make people upset, but that's what drives movies like this to get made. It's aN overly exuberant rant about how we get exactly the shit we ask for: not good, cohesive movies, but movies we can get angry and repulsed at. Kinda fits the current /co/ climate well. Anons are having more fun with a movie they can say is shit than they ever would have with a good film. Like the Marvel principle behind terrible crossovers: it's better to have an enraged reader than a disinterested one.

>http://www.filmfreakcentral.net/ffc/2016/03/batman-v-superman-dawn-of-justice.html
>There is an unbelievable amount of baggage to unpack in BVS. It bears mention that the third-act baddie looks just like a Cave Troll (WETA appears to be mainly good at making Cave Trolls) and acts just like Superman IV's pathetic Nuclear Man. It's totally meta and absolutely senseless. I described Man of Steel as a collection of trailers, and that's true again here. BVS is an unerring pastiche of who we are at this moment in time: scared, angry, violent, disjointed, poisoned by hiraeth (Batman keeps a Joker-defiled batsuit in a Plexiglas display case like a mad hobbyist), driven by emotion rather than logic, by ideologies rather than reason. It's polarized, xenophobic, hyper-sexualized, hyper-desensitized, and, in the final analysis, more than a little psychotic. BVS is the inmates running the studio. And it's going to make a billion dollars. Maybe a billion-six. One of Wonder Woman's only lines is to label the last hundred years "a century of horrors." BVS is a visit to father confessor and obeisance to mother dominatrix. It'll make you feel like shit and you'll go back again, and again, and again, because it's what you deserve, isn't it, worm? I know this because it's what we all deserve.

I don't really agree, but I can at least understand what they're trying to say even if it's wrong.

Movie industry is this weird retarded kid that doesn't want to copy what the other kids did because then they will just look second string to what the other kid started

They could copy MCU formula but then every film could be measured by Marvel filmsyes that already happens but film studios are not use to this weird effect of everything gets lump together because of masks and capes
So they take a strong direction of being serious, the take a strong direction of pushing gods among men.
Nothing wrong with the idea however what they fail at is understanding that you need to take huge risks with that, you need to get people that have made good serious films but perhaps have never touch a cape film and if they are willing guide them to what you want it to be. Love or hate it that's been Marvels strong suit, Edgar Wright wanted Ant-Man his way and Marvel told him no, he left they got Peyton Reed and Ant-Man started as a sleeper hit that launch to blockbuster acclaim. How did that happen? Switching directors should hurt or kill a project but Marvel/Disney had a very strong vision of the comic world they were building and made sure the story was told how they wanted it. WB is really bad about throwing money at a person and just saying "make it work" this is what has lead to their embarrassing string of empty calorie cape films that feel like all marketing and flash with no heart anywhere in it. Now they are just pushing onward in what seems to be blind hope that they can just simply catch up to Marvel's cinematic empire by just throwing films out with references and nudges to each other without properly asking how is this all going to tie together.
I want a DCU that can equal MCU but at this rate it's just going to be awkward "we are here too" films between the actual selling Batman super man films, which much like Spider-Man just sell on name alone.

You know what gets me? That after that extra year, the script and editing still suffers the exact problems that fucked over MoS. I mean, was there no one above Snyder, in either the DC braintrust or a WB exec that read the script and/or the first cut and realized there were some serious flaws? I guess they really wanted to allow the directors a chance to succeed or fail, without studio interference.

And, on a whim, I looked up the editor to both BvS and MoS. (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0107463/) I mean, the guy isn't that bad initially, but he has just gotten really terrible.

Like already posted Ant-man by all accounts should have failed with the insane amount of corporate interference it had. After the mess that is BvS being completely hands off we are likely going to see a hard future for directors.

People don't exclusively want a shared universe. I think a fair amount of audiences would rather have solo movies focusing on their favorite characters than a rushed team movie.

DC was never above aping MCU for audiences. Green Lantern was a terrible attempt at doing a lighthearted 'Marvel' capeflick, It was supposed to be their Iron Man. Look how well that went. .

DC had no plans whatsoever to make a big ensemble movie before Marvel had success with Avengers.
>>
>>81044848
And despite having all their rights, they did nothing with them. If they did a JL movie earlier, MCU would probably be dead in the water.

They made their archenemy.

The Nolan Batman movies were pretty recent and people seemed to love those though.

It almost strikes me as DC wanting to make things harder for themselves for no damn reason. This cinematic universe shit should have been more natural for them than Marvel. I have to imagine far more of the general public have a pretty good idea about Batman and Superman and know their origins and stuff compared to damn near every other super hero, let alone dudes like Iron Man and Thor. Instead of using Batman and Superman to draw people in and flesh out their other Justice League schlubs, they decided to re-invent the wheel by creating a new, ultra-gritty world where Batman is old and a douche, Superman is balding and the most wooden motherfucker on the planet, Lex is part Joker-wannabe and part that dipshit neighbor kid of yours that just finished smoking pot in his dad's shed. I just don't get it.

Wonder Woman was 100% style over substance, the only cool thing she does is her fight scene against Doomday, which is a cluttered mess that is difficult to see amongst all the SPEED-SLOWMO cams, debris and lensflare.

And about her Style 90% of it has more to do with the theme song changing to he own soundtrack during the fight.

Her reasons for being in the movie makes no sense. She's in it for an old photo, but we never know if it is because she wants to erase her tracks or because she wants a copy it. The first is futile and stupid, the second one is just stupid and contrived.

Posting my favorite edit in honor of Injustice
>>
>>81021764
WB should try making animated superhero movies. Sure, Mask of the Phantasm was a success back then. But Incredibles and Big Hero 6 proved it can be successful. Animated Superhero movies can lead to a lot of potential.
>>
>>81045455
You mean "career".
>>
>>81045397
On the verge of death Superman says "He's going to kill Martha! You have to stop him".

Instead of impaling him with the kryptonite spear as the psycho PUNISHER with money he is he instead questions him. "HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT NAME!"

Before the fight Superman even tries to say. "Bruce, you have to help me, I don't wan't to kill you." So the world's suposed greatest detective should have known that Superman knows his secret identity among other details.


Also Lois Lane's teleport powers where taken away from her in this movie and given to Wonder Woman instead. The edit is a mess.

EVERY SINGLE DREAM SEQUENCE IS POINTLESS AND ADDS NOTHING TO THE MOVIE.

I just got back from a screening.

1. Snyder has to go ASAP. The story sucks and the editing and pacing is the worst I've ever seen. The movie jumps from scene to scene worse than Man of Steel because there is no rhyme or reason to it.

2. The only way in my opinion to save DCEU at this point is reboot it all with Flash changing past, start over now without all this Snyder story with Superman and Batman. Keep the same actors, just change the characters and give us Lex Sr not Jr

3. Lex is awful, just the fucking worst. He was twitching like someone on crack the entire movie.

No, fuck you, Wonder Woman should not be that hard to put into a movie. Just adopt Perez' run, modify it a little to change with modern geopolitics, the way Iron Man 1 adopted Tony's old Lee/Kirby origin. IT SHOULD NOT BE THAT HARD.

Doesn't Gunn want control of Runaways at the moment? Since Suicide Squad killed his hopes for Thunderbolts.

That or the Eternals IIRC.

It's UK Palitoy company that owns part of the rights
Much like right holders Peter Pan there the owners are monsters about profits and can demand an upwards of 50% royalties on sales.
A loop hole was attempted in 2001 where Rom changed his name to a weird spelling of Arthur it surprisingly still lead to grief with Palitoy.

>>81045827

It'll be profitable, if not from the box office but through merchandising. I think it totally jeopardized launching a shared cinematic universe though.

Everything after 2017 is up in the air for the DCEU so who knows, maybe there'll be more bat related shit since the batfamily could probably print money for WB.
>>
>>81045540
How does that even make sense? Wouldn't Bruce just say, Martha is already dead!, if he thought Supes was referring to his mom? And the Supes would get angry thinking he meant his mom and then they would just kill each other?
>>
>>81045941
That's long been true, though. At least, I'm fairly certain.
>>
>>81046037
I feel that would be what the characters would do but thats not what plot wants at the moment.
>>
>>81045869
that wouldn't sell well. That would get terrible reviews.

They don't make movies just because someone wants them to fill a checklist
>>
>>81046061
It is less that this is an actual fact and more that this is the reason they didn't kill each other.
>>
>>81046086
In better hands, I could see it being a nice "not so different" bit, but I probably wouldn't have it be the clincher to them stopping fighting. I'd just go with Batman realizing Superman is being blackmailed by having his mother taken hostage, and then it comes up for emphasis at some point, either when he's talking to Superman or when he saves Ma Kent.

Serious question. Do you think Synder is going to end up directing any more DC movies, or is he going to resign or be fired after BvS's critical reception?

>>81046061

That's not the point, as much as it being a dumb reason.
>>
>>81046236
Unless this movie makes a billion dollars, I don't think WB will be too happy that their DC films keep on getting shitty reviews. If I was Synder I would be worried.
>>
>>81046175
If it's executed well i don't see it as that bad of a deal. Batman sees a little of the Alien's humanity because he has human mommy that cares about him.

Sure, can be cliche. Would be the least of its concerns for a movie with 34% RT score.
>>
>>81045900
Will it though? They look like similar concepts on the surface but the two organizations are very different in practice. Thunderbolts has more of a rehabilitation approach (though this does change a bit based on who is in charge of the team).
>>
>>81046221
No need. The DCCU literally has only 1 Superman movie, and a team up movie released. They need to scrape Cyborg movie (who the fuck actually wants to see this shit), Flash, Aquaman and Shazam.

Justice League and Wondy already started shooting so can't stop these.

And make Batman solo movie with Affleck acting and directing. And make Man of Steel 2, with George Miller directing it without Synder nor Goyer going near it.
>>
The Hypercrisis is real, Darkseid is running WB to keep us from believing in Superman.
>>
>>81045951
But they used his script. They rewrote it, but the framework is still Goyer.
>>
>>81046326
Thunderbolts is interesting, because the point of the team has evolved over time, at least in story. At the very beginning, it was strictly a scam, with villains pretending to be heroes so they could get into the Avengers' bases. As many of the members came to like being heroic for its own ends, they began to see the team as the thing that gave them a chance at redemption.

Osborn turned it into a Suicide Squad deal, and Parker Bolts largely did the same. But in the latter, and a bit of the former, people like Songbird were always trying to push it as a redemption angle, even when it didn't work.

In the past, it'd have been hard to make a movie encapsulating the feeling of the Thunderbolts, old and new, but in this new world with established universes, I think it'd be possible. It'd be easier to do something like Osborn or Parker bolts, but I think you could set up an original Thunderbolts movie rather nicely for post-Infinity War. Especially with Zemo being introduced soon. You probably wouldn't get the others being introduced before hand, though. I'm not sure they could pull off the twist either, given modern marketing standards, but since it's early in their story, that's just how it goes.

Maybe if you introduced them as bit characters in another movie, then had a stinger revelation. Probably a bit too much.
>>
>>81045951
They based BvS on his script. I'd be glad if this guy and Hack Snyder never touch DC's film ever again.
>>
>>81045951
I went and read that story he did in Action Comics #900 again and forgot how bad it was.
>>
>>81046423
Yeah, I firmly believe they can recover but they have got to get their shit together. I was starting to believe the cape movie bubble would never pop but BvS could be the first major step towards it happening.
>>
Songbird from just a marketing perspective seems like a good investment.

Covered up costume, bright pretty looking powers, memorable design.

Though now Suicide Squad and thunderbolts having a two toned hair girl and psychologist on the team might draw more similarities than they want.

Probably.

I mean JL Part 1 is supposed to start filming April 11th.

Its not without precedent for WB to halt production that close to filming, but they've got a packed time table for the next four years.

And here's the thing, BvS will do really well this weekend, so that means its only in the second week that they'll see how bad things really are. That means they have a few days to replace him if they want to go that route.
>>
>>81046221
I think it's all dependent on how well BvS and Suicide Squad and Wonder Woman do at the box office.

BvS does good at box office (as in, makes back double its budget): They'll go ahead with their plans.

BvS doesn't meet expectations (like what happened with ASM2) or worse, flops hard: then they're dependent on Suicide Squad and WW. If BvS does really bad (like Green Lantern bad or Fant4stic bad), maybe WB deletes any references to BvS or MoS and pretend Superman didn't exist in the films yet.

So that leads to the other scenarios:

BvS flops but Suicide Squad does well: They might keep Affleck as Batman but pretend nothing from MoS and BvS happened, unless Eisenberg's scenes are too tied into Suicide Squad to remove. Then if Wonder Woman also does all right, they'll probably do a soft reboot.

BvS and Suicide Squad both flop: Well now they're hoping Wonder Woman saves them.

BvS, Suicide Squad, and WW all flop: Time for a takeover and a complete reboot.

Apparently she has about 16 lines, most of them are stale line reads, only that party scene has any acting or emotion or something, SUpes has a line that he reads too apparently somewhere. Action scenes with Doomsday are supposedly great, but since it's cgi, who gives a fuck anyone could have been thrown into cosplay and done it.

If DC movie verse did, or does fix itself somehow, even if it's a messy, convoluted way, if it gets fixed I will be overjoyed. I love Marvel, but I would adore to see DC franchises getting good movies pushed out. If DC and Marvel franchises could both stand in the son of good, entertaining movies, it could open the doors wider for all sorts of stories to finally come to light.
