Zack Snyder has been a hack this entire time

Snyder is basically your average comic fan. Industry cancer in other words.

"Several filmmakers have tried to turn Watchmen into a movie and failed. One issue Hollywood has always had with the material is that it requires an intimate familiarity with the superhero genre in order to fully appreciate it. Does the fact that Watchmen is finally being made into a movie indicate something has changed in the culture?
The average movie audience has seen — well, I can’t even count the amount of superhero movies. Fantastic Four, X-Men, Superman, Spider-Man. The Marvel universe has gone nuts; we’re going to have a fricking Captain America movie if we’re not careful. Thor, too! We’re on our second Hulk movie. And Iron Man — $300 million domestic box office on a second tier superhero! And not to demean Iron Man — my point is that we all know about superheroes now. I can ask my mother, ”Mom, when the Hulk isn’t the Hulk, who is he?” ”Bruce Banner. Why? What a weird question.” I could ask her, ”What happened to Bruce Wayne’s parents?” ”They were killed at an opera.” You’re getting to that saturation level where superhero movies, it’s hard for them to figure out what more to do."

>>He's his own worst enemy.

>>82223844

EW:Well, one new point of difference is make them more grim and gritty, like Hancock or The Dark Knight, which seems to also work in Watchmen’s favor —

ZS: Everyone says that about [Christopher Nolan’s] Batman Begins. ”Batman’s dark.” I’m like, okay, ”No, Batman’s cool.” He gets to go to a Tibetan monastery and be trained by ninjas. Okay? I want to do that. But he doesn’t, like, get raped in prison. That could happen in my movie. If you want to talk about dark, that’s how that would go. I believe that pop culture is just, like, so ready for Watchmen. We tried so hard to ride that wave between satire and reality, and all the things that make you still care about the character, but you don’t miss the commentary about them. Nite-Owl is Batman. The guy has a fricking cave under his house! No doubt a fanboy will look at the movie and not get it. ”He looks just like Batman!” Precisely. When people saw our version of the Ozymandias costume on the Internet, some were like, ”It’s like a Joel Schumacher Batman movie! The costume has nipples! That’s crazy!” And I’m like, ”Yeah, but that’s the point!” With their comic, Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons were saying, ”Superheroes are kinda funky, aren’t they?” We build upon that with a movie that acknowledges that superhero movies have affected pop culture.

Oh, I hate this

>>82223950
This is the THIRD fucking time I have heard him mention some kind of hatred for a Thor movie existing. What the hell is this guy's problem?

>The Marvel universe has gone nuts; we’re going to have a fricking Captain America movie if we’re not careful. Thor, too!
"If we're not careful"?

As if them making a Cap or Thor movie would be some kind of unforgiving slight against film?

>>82224205

In fairness, he was kinda right about the Thor movies. He couldn't have known he'd be right about them sucking, but still.

>>82224213

The Thor movies still make money and have a following, though.

I rather see those than this dude's tripe.

>>82223958

Showing an explosion after "granny's peach tea" from this guy makes more sense now

Zack is basically a /b/tard

>>82224108
Aquaman's stretching it. He was just there really, in the eyes of the public at least.

I mean when I started out comics (late 90s early 00s) the big things in Marvel were X-Men and Spider-man. Cap and Iron-Man were just characters who showed up. Now kids are getting Iron Man lunch boxes and Cap t-shirts.

>>82224213
I still don't think Thor 1 is that bad but that isn't the point

>>82224205
It's obvious the guy wanted to do a Cap or Thor movie.

>>82224227
>The Thor movies still make money and have a following, though.

Because Hemsworth and Hiddleston are handsome and people make googly eyes at them, not because they're particularly good movies.

>>82224248

>Snyder does a Cap film
>Cap gets raped in the back alley as a kid

>Snyder does a Thor film
>Thor rapes Jane

>>82224248

The thought frightens me.

Just imagine Hack poorly injecting big political ideas into Cap.

Those movies would probably bomb internationally.

>>82224268
He probably wouldn't even call him Captain America. He's just be called "The Captain".

>>82224248

I'd watch those. Cap movie under Snyder wouldn't shy away from being a dark WW2 flick and would most definitely not pussy out on portraying actual Nazis in the movie. Even Thor would be more than Hemsworth being shirtless and quips every five minutes, I'd wager you'd actually get a good Malekith movie from him where the main bad guy might not as well be in the fucking story.

>>82224261

Zack is basically the Alan Moore of Hollywood

>>82224282

Jesus, you're right.

>>82223950
>”Mom, when the Hulk isn’t the Hulk, who is he?” ”Bruce Banner. Why? What a weird question.”
She'd probably say David Banner though.

>>82224282

A lot of foreign countries had the first cap movie be re-titled as The First Avenger.

>>82224261

We do have Snyder's template for Thor.

300, with vikings.

>>82224295

He was still called "Captain America" in the movie, though. Snyder would've just had him referred to as "The Captain".

>>82224295

Not a whole lot. Some asian markets and parts od Europe (mostly warsaw countries).

>>82224239

Nobody was taking him seriously. He was a campy throw back with a giant A on his head. It's nothing short of a miracle that Marvel has made Cap so respected. I consider it the MCU biggest success

>>82224294

This. My old man calls him David Banner

>>82224324

Captain America is the new Superman, which is a huge irony in and of itself.

>>82224324

And they did this by basically make him into a mini-Superman. Friendly approachable superhero with no pretension and unbending moral fiber that worries about the little guy, and which other people look up to. In the meantime, Snyder ruins Superman by making him the opposite of what Marvel has done with Cap.

It's like pottery. Dark, ugly, saddening pottery.

>>82224354

Superman can survive this. It may take another 10 years but we will get a Snyderless Superman film again.

>>82224354

Which I guess explains why I like Evans Cap so much. I hadn't thought about it, but I always was a huge Superman fan, and when I look at it like this, it makes total sense.

>>82224288

Except Alan Moore could make a good Superman story.

People shouldn't hate Snyder. He's just a massively overconfident low-talent egotist.

The people you should hate are those who hired him and allow him to carry on. They're not low talent, they're zero talent.

It's as if they gave Snyder a mint copy of this comic to sell and he sold it for $100,000. He made money, so what's to complain about?

>>82224354
Actually WB, Nolan, Goyer AND Snyder did this. Snyder is just being blamed for their collective fuck up.

What was the excuse for the boring stalker creep superman who left his preggo girlfriend who he retroactively raped to go fuck around in outer space?

The only way a good Superman movie will ever be made is if Disney makes it.

>>82224365

Unfortunately, it'll be built upon the ground Snyder has laid because WB will be too afraid to try anything different than a Nolan-esque "gritty and realistic" superhero film for fear of "MARVEL RIPOFF" accusations.

>>82224384

And it didn't include rape!

>Alien plant forces it's way into Supermans body and mind

Never mind

>>82224390

What's to hate is Snyder pretty muched raped Superman. He says dumb shit like this:

http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/zack-snyder-says-he-tried-grow-up-superman-man-steel

>>“I was surprised with the fervency of the defense of the concept of Superman,” said Snyder. “I feel like they were taking it personally that I was trying to grow up their character.”

>>82223711
The average comic fan now is a fat basement dweller who watches mlp and posts on reddit and only reads "LE QUIRKY SO RANDUM XD" cape books and hipster shit from Image and thinks that anything that deals with reality is "OW THE EDGE COLD STEEL DID ROB LIEFELD WRITE THIS?"

>>82224392

I don't trust Disney/Marvel not to make a Superman movie full of spite just because they can

>>82224402

For fuck's sake, Superman didn't need "growing up". For fuck's sake. Every interview I read from this hack makes me hate him that much more.

for a small moment, i felt bad for snyder when the reviews came in for bvs

upon further study

he deserved every inch
so did warner for letting it happen

looking at their justice league looks like a pathetic soda can style team up

>>82224410

It's funny how much /co/ wants Miller to direct a Superman film when he also just doesn't get it

>>82224392

Fair enough. I just say Snyder because he's the most visible of them, and it's shorter than writing WB and Goyer and Snyder every time.

Chunk of the blame probably ends up on WB, anyway.

>>82223958
>With their comic, Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons were saying, ”Superheroes are kinda funky, aren’t they?”

They were literally saying "superheroes are retarded".

>>82224011
>>82224025
>>82224046

You retards realise that he's talking about what would make Batman really dark, right? HIs point is that Batman is pretty light-hearted despite being dominally "dark".

>>82223844
It's funny when he gets completely BTFO

>Snyder took a shot at the Marvel Universe in an interview with The Daily Beast. While addressing Steven Spielberg’s comments that “there will be a time when the superhero movie goes the way of the Western,” the filmmaker said Marvel heroes are a dime a dozen.

>“I feel like he’s right. But I feel like Batman and Superman are transcendent of superhero movies in a way, because they’re Batman and Superman,” Snyder said while promoting Doritos’ final Super Bowl filmmaking contest. “They’re not just, like, the flavor of the week Ant-Man — not to be mean, but whatever it is. What is the next Blank-Man?”

And then Ant-Man got better reviews that Batman v Superman. And a better audience reaction. And got better openings in several countries. And kept topping for several weeks while BvS declined. And got a sequel greenlit despite being a "flavor of the week" and not a "trascendent".

>>82224321
>>82224295

Why in the fuck would you consume Hollywood media but be turned off by a guy named Captain America. That would be like if I was a huge anime fan but got bootyblasted that one of the characters was called Nippon-sama or some shit.

On the bright side, BvS has a higher RT rating than Blankman.

It's sad that for all the bluster Snyder made over how "badass" this new Batman would be, he never got any moments half as good as he did in the Nolan series.

That part in TDK where he daisy-chains the SWAT guys together and kicks them all off with just one guy is then times better then anything in BvS.

>>82223574
Honestly , Snyder is based and I love that he's doing what he does. I've always hated capeshit comics and Zack seems to share certain value with me. He cares about the drama of moral ambiguity even when the public is disgusted by it, and I'm glad he doesn't give a damn and tries to make what he wants.

>>82223574
He should direct shit like Punisher and some darker stuff, Supes or Bat is just nah. This Kevin guy is such a stupid ass CEO.

This is fucking rich, doesn't he know at what time Superman and Captain Marvel where popular? It was during the depression era, it wasn't a peaceful time. People needed some kind of hopeful message, not a grownup one.

In this day and age the last thing we needed was walking 9/11 allegory. At least when Marvel alludes to 9/11 they paint the Avengers in the same light as the rescue workers that worked to save as many as they could.

Zach snyder's equivalent is that fucking cross looking beam that remained intact after the twin towers collapsed. Only deluded fuckwits fall for it.

>>82224354

I don't really understand why people find MCU inspirational or good, he's incredibly bland and boring beyond some man out of time jokes. His speech in TWS was completely corny.

Yeah, more movies trying to explore the morality of its main characters should have a weightless half-hour end fight scene with a personality-free CGI cave troll.

My favorite part of Heat was when De Niro and Pacino put their differences aside to fight the gigantic CGI mechanical spider that was threatening Los Angeles, really drove home the duality of their characters.

How in gods name can you call his speech corny while defending superman?
Unless you think the utterly fucking retarded fucktardation that spewed on the screen in MoS was brilliant because it was cynical balless silliness.

Easy, his name is fricking lame.

How can the higher ups at DC/WB not see he's shit at this by now? Sure his intentions are good but the stuff he comes up with is generally crap.

BvS was shit and yet they're still letting him to Justice League. He's had two chances now, why are they giving him a third, especially when it's your fucking big ensemble movie.

I wouldn't say otherwise. But the whole "SUPERMAN IS A BORING BOY SCOUT" thing implies that there are no good Superman comics/stories out there and, thus, no good reason why Superman would be a beloved pop culture icon.

>>82224610
Maybe if they came up with original name templates instead of just being Captain America with the America changed to something else. Captain America sounds good because he was the original; Captain Britain sounds lame because you imediately think he's just Britain's discount copy of Captain America.

You could use the same argument for a guy like Batman.

This is absolutely hilarious.

It reminds me of this interview I read in a gaming magazine, where developers were asked how they'd reinvent game franchises. One particular edgelord said he'd re-boot Tomb Raider, and have Laura Croft be naked to show that, "the rules are different." Not one thing about gameplay.

Batman has been an international brand for decades though. And I know for a fact the name Batman isn't translated in every non-english speaking country to the closest linguistic equivalent because just leaving it as "Batman" i.e. in english sounds automatically 100% better.

How can you?

>Nite-Owl is Batman. The guy has a fricking cave under his house! No doubt a fanboy will look at the movie and not get it. ”He looks just like Batman!” Precisely. When people saw our version of the Ozymandias costume on the Internet, some were like, ”It’s like a Joel Schumacher Batman movie! The costume has nipples! That’s crazy!” And I’m like, ”Yeah, but that’s the point!”

Nite-Owl is NOT meant to be Batman, conceptually or thematically. He's a representation of the ultimate extension of the colourful 'science adventurer' archetype that used to be popular in comics and wasn't any more by the time Watchmen was conceived, hence him being an overweight washed-up has-been who quit his responsibilities as a 'superhero'. Rorschach, while based on The Question, is a far closer parallel to the uncompromising crusader mindset of Batman in that he never quits no matter how difficult things get or how much his sanity takes a hit for his overdeveloped sense of responsibility.

In short, Zack Snyder is a complete fucking moron who only seems to appreciate comics on the level of a severely autistic child drooling over the pretty pictures within.

It's weird, he sounds like he really understands Watchmen. And yet, his movie doesn't really reflect that.

>>82225021

Go to bed, Zack. You're retarded if you think a story needs rape to be dark.

Bruce Wayne watched his parents get murdered in cold blood in front of him before the age of eleven. He's now a man who, despite his physical power and smarts, is emotionally broken. A man with rage issues, who doesn't know how to express love openly very well, and is desperately seeking to leave a legacy that's positive in some way despite his life and methods.

A hero who faces down serial killers, torturers, terrorists and exploiters every night. Batman is very dark. He doesn't need to be raped for that.

In fact, you should abandon your DC plans and sign on for a 3 movie Atlas Shrugged deal, people will love it far more than the other ones.

Superman will be at the front, the struggle to carry the other two from his butt will represent his frustration caused by all the different expectations the world has about him

Batman will be at the back, he's such a troubled and angry character, the shit from the other two that he'll be ingesting is a symbol for the darkness that's corroding him from the inside

Wonder Woman will be the central piece, to continue her role from BvS she'll be the connection between Batman and Superman, as we all know the Amazons expected her to bring peace to the man's world, so if they won't share their emotions and feces then she'll do it for them

The shit eating will subtly represent the emotional struggle of every character involved against the injustices of the world, just like Doomsday in BvS

The Fountainhead is basically a legal drama, so I have no idea how he could Snyder his shit up in a story that's essentially just people talking.

At least we know the sex scenes will be appropriately tasteless, in deference to the source material.

Neither do I, but you know he'd find a way.

>>82225948
>Who is Bruce Wayne?

I've always seen Bruce as a libertarian-capitalist individual so it's funny you mention that. He's this brooding wealthy ubermensch set apart from weaker men by his will and his means. My Justice League will be a true secret society, isolating themselves above and beyond humanity on their watchtower in the sky. By spending his vast wealth on this new society, Bruce is in effect becoming the Johnathan Galt of the DC universe. I think this is a more realistic take on superheroes than the superfriends, wouldn't you agree?

>>82226126
Definetly agree, but I still think you should do the Atlas Shrugged movie.
By the way Mr. Snyder, your future self just posted in this thread, shouldn't you be worried about his ominous message? >>82226033

That sounds too accurate. You're worrying me.

At least Atlas Shrugged has a """""""""plot""""""""" that he could insert shitty action scenes into. It wouldn't take that much to turn into into an action-thriller, and that would honestly improve the whole thing a thousand percent.

Fountainhead doesn't really have any spaces for that in it.

>>82226153

That true.

>>82226177
Ayn Rand would roll in her grave if they turned Atlas Shrugged into a generic action flick.
Which is exactly why we should do it.

>I'm a good writer,yes I am

>>82226163
Bro, Atlas Shrugged metaphors will be deep in every scene of Justice League. So deep. Like the intricate lady of the lake metaphors I used Lois to represent in my recent political thriller, Batman v. Superman, where she swam around with a spear and drowned, and also had a scene in a bathtub. The Justice League are Ayn Rand's vision made manifest and I intend to do that 'justice' if you will. Trust me. I like to shitpost on /co/ as much as you do. I'm just giving you the scoop as we get to work.

And fuck my future self. He's old. I make movies for real comic lovers not out of touch old people. The Earth is perfectly fine. It's really good. He just doesn't understand it.

>>82226390
She needed the energy device, because without it the whole concept of Galt's Gulch would fall apart.
Actually, it falls apart even with it due to Ayn Rand not knowing anything about mining, farming or industry, but that's another story.

>>82224674
Except he is. Eat a dick WB shill

>>82226390
>>I'm a good writer,yes I am
Ayn Rand genuinely believed Atlas Shrugged was the greatest book ever written and it would revolutionize the world. She was disappointed that it didn't, but obviously that was the moochers fault for being stupid.

>>82226505
To be fair, it's never a good idea to think that the proles will ever voluntarily educate themselves beyond what they need to know to get by, that's why every single book that's supposed to 'change the world' with a mass uprising never happens.

>>82225526
You say usually, but your example is one movie, and pretty much the only movie people agree on. You either need to drop your qualifier, or give more examples.

>>82226553
And I'm willing to bet that most of the people who own Atlas Shrugged have never finished it.

>>82226604
I finished it, but I skimmed John Galt's speech when I realized he was just rewording the same four paragraphs over and over.

The continuing failure of the Snyderverse disagrees with YOU. You guys keep going "it's the world's fault! nobody likes classic Superman anymore!" when we haven't had classic superman in decades, his closest parallels are increasingly popular, and the attempts at 'fixing' the problem as you've defined it are consistently reviled.

Zack Snyder is a legitimate comics fan.

He is just a legitimate comics fan from that edgy self conscious post 80s era.

Its why he faps over Frank Miller and Alan Moore movies and why the comics he adapted were 300,Watchmen,Man of Steel, Death of Superman and TDKR all hallmarks of the so called "dark age." He unironically embodies that "Comics arent just for kids anymore" mindset that Everyone has since mocked.

>>82227220
He's the kind of comic fan that goes into an LCS and gets mad that certain sections aren't called "graphic novels"

>>82227220
No. Because legitimate comics ans from the edgy self conscious post 80s era at least had the context of everything before that. Snyder doesn't even get context.

calling him a hack is a bit much

dude can direct some pretty good scenes but his background was in music videos i think this is why his best work is always in scenes where the actors aren't even talking and it's just a montage

look at he beginning to Watchmen that whole song and set up was pretty sweet

i wonder what Kubrick would think of him i mean he does have the eye to detail for images and framing but not for story and substance he's like Michael Bayin that sense

inb4 Bay is stupid besides The Rock i really don't care for his work but let's give the guy some credit Bay isn't stupid he's actually pretty smart when he's choreographing scenes but in the end he's more interested in the spectacle of it all making it feel like a visual roller coaster rather than focusing on storytelling... neither is bad it is what it is

ok /tv/ let it rip i'm ready for the (You)s

>>82229220
>calling him a hack is a bit much
It's really not.

When it comes to visual direction he does have a better eye for things but that's literally it. When it comes to the rest of his job, he is a pure hack

The full quote is:

* I came to comic books through my mother. I loved fantasy art — I love Frank Frazetta [the famed illustrator known for adult-oriented, sword-and-sorcery, and sci-fi imagery]. I went to boarding school. You weren’t allowed too many posters up, and everything I set up was slightly inappropriate. Frazetta’s naked girls, ripped up guys — the kids were like, ”What the hell?!” They had their Boy George posters up, I had crazy Frazetta. My mother saw I was into this comic called Heavy Metal magazine, so she got me a subscription. You could call it ”high-brow” comics, but to me, that comic book was just pretty sexy! I had a buddy who tried getting me into ”normal” comic books, but I was all like, ”No one is having sex or killing each other. This isn’t really doing it for me.” I was a little broken, that way. So when Watchmen came along, I was, ”This is more my scene.”

Hint: he always liked a CERTAIN section of comics. He's never been a fan of superhero comics, and this is something even Snyder has hinted at (i.e. "hurr durr superheroes talking in their costumes is so dumb"). In other words, there's a reason why he wanted to do 300 and Watchmen before he was hired to do regular DC characters.

>>82230271

He sounds like someone from /co/ most of us are tired of cape characters, don't read cape books and are pretty pretentious. We got what you ass clowns prayed for.

Snyder is the only guy I've ever seen that has failed upwards.
He makes critically panned movies that bomb and is rewarded by being given even BIGGER and even more ambitious projects
How?

>Snyder is still heading a huge movie franchise despite repeated mistakes
>Del Toro does only good and all his projects are cancelled or given to other directors who botch them
There is no justice in the world

Zack Snyder is quite the enigma

I'm one of the few who enjoyed BvS a lot, an even I want him gone from any role where he has to make important decisions

he is a wose hack, he is forcing creative directors to make Iron Man 1 again and again

holy kek at all this Butthurt

I fucking HOPE to god that Snyder is able to introduce Green Lantern, just so he can use the Lemonade scene from All Star Batman and Robin.

>>82224283
most likely worse than the Cap and Thor movies we already have 2bh

>>82230610

It's the 'every Marvel movie is Iron Man' meme.

>>82224512
That sounded like Kevin Smith saying "Thank god your visuals are so strong."

He can say he loves comics all he wants but his movies say otherwise.

>>82224617
>Remember, only 74 casualties in an alien invasion, less lives lost than during 9/11!
So you mean the world is better off for the existence of superheroes? What a novel fucking concept! This shit is the second dumbest meme you snyderfags have cooked up. Are you really asking us to be MAD that the characters tasked with saving lives managed to keep casualties so low?

>>82230347

Who is Michael Bay.

>>82230970
Michael Bay knows his movies are crap but doesn't care because people will see it anyway. Snyder is in denial

>>82230970
Bay is honest. Refreshingly so.

>>82231028
>>82231057

That's true.

>>82230970

Bay makes garbage movie but he's never pretended to make deep cinema, he's always admitted he's a schlock peddler and his argument boils down to "I make movies for horny teenagers and if you don't like that go fuck yourself."

His films are mostly shit but he doesn't pretend it's anything but popcorn cinema.

>>82224617
>>82224617
It's telling that Zack Snyder's fans think that superheroes saving lives is a bad thing

>>82225253

>They were killed at an opera

THEY WERE KILLED OUTSIDE OF A CINEMA SHOWING ZORRO, YOU MAGNIFICENT ASSHOLE.

I mean okay in some continuities it was an opera, but the default assumption is ALWAYS Zorro. Saying otherwise is like saying that baby Kal-El crashed in Amish country or the Ukraine.

>Nite-Owl is NOT meant to be Batman, conceptually or thematically. He's a representation of the ultimate extension of the colourful 'science adventurer' archetype that used to be popular in comics and wasn't any more by the time Watchmen was conceived, hence him being an overweight washed-up has-been who quit his responsibilities as a 'superhero'.

Bull fucking shit. Have you ever read Alan Moore's notes on Nite Owl?

>>82230626

That would be right up his alley. Unfortunately, having Batman serve Green Lantern a suspicious glass of "lemonade" would be far too close to a joke, which as we all know is forbidden in the DCCU.

Anon isn't entirely wrong tho. At least once he gets out of retirement because of the events of the story, Nite Owl isn't supposed to be super cool, "he's not Batman" because the story needs him to be the shadow of a former Batman

It's a matter of presentation, the movie didn't try to make the character look bad in any way. I bet if his only real flaw they kept didn't concern sex Snyder would've tried to sweep it under the rug

Why do people have such a hardon for maturity?
I don't like "maturity" as a concept, it's a bit fallacious. Every adult is an adult and by definition, any behavior adults have is adult behaviour. Bringing maturity into the mix tries to condemn some adult behaviors as non-adult and praise others for being suited for adults. While both are adult.

maturity at best describes what society expects of an adult, but what have social expectations to do with art or creating fictional make believe worlds?

Maturity in general is meh as a quality indicator and it definitely has no place in capefilms.

I remember when they were trying to get a director for Man of Steel and Zack Snyder turned it down because he said that he didn't know how to do a film about Superman. Then few months later there was news about him accepting the job. Someone better find that interview.

>>82231936

Because they're probably young and insecure. Or even older and insecure. I've seen men as old as 35 who are still insecure about being viewed as childish by their peers. I'm assuming these people haven't had a lot of experience talking with other adults and are generally antisocial.

>>82231936
You know if you said something like that to Snyder you'd probably blow his mind.

>>82232087
Well, his brain doesn't seem that blow-proof, the guy is pretentious and shallow -at least as I can tell from interviews.
Then again, idiots usually don't get it when you explain why they're idiots.

I wonder what Adam West thought about Batman vee Superman

>>82230966
I...I love you.

>>82231831
>implying

>>82230602
It's only liked by bros who see it as a many experience. That doesn't count.

>>82230966
I really think your point is solid, and the "lol 74" junk is a bit tired.

But, I also find that to be an unbelievably low number for what actually went down. I don't disagree with you on wanting the super heroes to be successful and mitigate damage, I just have trouble swallowing that little human damage from what I saw on screen.

>>82232118
He was asking why Batman doesn't dance anymore. Remember the Batusi?

>>82232561

How about we wait to see the number in the movie, instead of going by a trailer?

>>82232608
Listen, you're confusing me with the rest of them. Not only do I agree with that, but I also don't actually care at all what number does go up in the final product.

If I was tasked with making the number, though, it would be >74.

>>82230966
>you mean the world is better off for the existence of superheroes

You mean a world where Tony Stark and Thor are the direct source of several cataclysms or where Cap and Natasha basically helped create a massive information leak that created a huge hole in the defense capabilities of the United States?

>>82223915
Why, because its a bad fit or a perfect fit?

Because if it suits his style, I'd want to see it too.

I don't hate Zack, but I just hate that they picked him to direct THESE films, I wish they never got him for this OR MoS in the first place (because it doesn't fit)

I loved 300, though.

>>82228410
whatever helps you sleep at night

>>82232561
See here's the thing. My initial reaction to the 74 number was the same as yours. That it was suspiciously low and read of damage control. But then I thought about it and realized two things.

1. Writers are notorious for having no sense of scale.
2. What exactly was Loki's goal? It wasn't to rack up a body count or destroy the earth. It was to rule it. It was to instill fear. The Chitauri can shoot empty cars and blow those up to accomplish that, which would account for a lower number. Ater all, like a week before we got that number there was that attack in Brussels that only had 30 seconding casualties and that was still a big worldwide news report.
People look at the events of the Avengers as an alien invasion and technically that is what it is, but the bad guys plans were more of a a terrorist attack than an eradication mission.

Also, you have to consider that what we're given the number dead, not dead AND injured.

>>82224123
The last scene in modern-day in First Avenger was pretty much the scene that guaranteed that the audience was interested in his development and story; the film told his origin, the ending made people care.

>>82224458

David Allen Grier gets shot in the ass in Blankman. That's more entertaining than MoS and BvS combined.

>>82232754
>Cap and Natasha basically helped create a massive information leak that created a huge hole in the defense capabilities of the United States
SHIELD was compromised by Hydra pretty much from its conception. There was already a much larger hole in the United States' defense capabilities

>>82224565

JIM WEST

DESPERADO

>>82232907
Yeah. The number is still too low but that's due to the sense of scale being off. The Chitauri were fighting randomly and focusing on the Avengers and the cops.

The biggest problem with the number is that Loki killed more people himself according to Black Widow.

>>82232907
>there was that attack in Brussels that only had 30 seconding casualties and that was still a big worldwide news report.

Because it was a terrorist attack by a crazy faux-khalifate wannabes taking place on the west, far away from their base of operations. Of course it was going to have coverage, successful jihadist terrorist attacks are not common in Europe.

>>82232946
and they just made it bigger by dumping everything into the public eye, without vetting anything. Wikileaks at least made an active effort to scrub anything that might directly lead endangerment of lives, Cap and Natasha did none of that.

Well they weren't

>>82232907
I absolutely agree the invasion wasn't about large scale murder. I just think there was enough damage in a densely-packed urban environment that there would have been a lot more than 74 deaths.

And, again, I don't actually care. This is just academic.

he is not wrong, after all Marvel would not be on the map if it wasn't for the alcoholic Tony Stark, teenager problems spider-man, childhood abused hulk, etc

Then comics with even more adult themes like the Killing Joke, Dark Knight Returns and Watchmen get praised as the best among the best.


So he is not wrong.

>>82233258
The sex and the killing weren't what made those comics "mature"
