>Hollywood Reporter points out Warner meddled with "Suicide Squad" because the director was unexperienced with blockbusters, and the script was rushed because of a tight production schedule.

>The directors of "Wonder Woman" and "The Flash" are unexperienced with blockbusters, replacing people who have dropped out due to creative differences with Warner, and were chosen because they were willing to work with tight production schedules and heavily revised scripts following "The studio's vision".

Should we be concerned?

No, you should never be concerned with movies because they're just normiebait. The only good part is that you get more old reprints and that will happen even if the movies are bad so who cares?

borth of these. while I hate the generic aspect of the MCU post-phase 1, I really respect what Disney is doing with its properties from a business standpoint. they really know how to control their directors and make them do to their bidding without making the movie suffer coherence wise etc

the pacing most of the time is quite on point even if the story sucks. the stories are simple enough for all audiences to understand and the money keeps on coming in. warnerbros really needs professionals in their midst who really are capable of making proper business decisions when it comes to their franchise, there really is no other way

Why fucking hire him them. Also pretty sure the last movie he did was Fury which was actually very good. The guy has a sketchy record but it's not like he doesn't know what he's doing.
>>
I am torn on this. I have been into comic books and the like for over 20 years. I would have loved to see a good Superman & Batman Movie but in my opinion, they fucked it up royally. Also the Wonder Woman lady is (thus far?) fucking horrible.

If they keep up the look and feel of their movies, I have very little to no hope. How Batfleck was so utterly amazing is beyond me as well. He was fine, he was certainly the best thing in BvS... but that's like being the cherry on a shit sundae.

TL:DR: The Batfleck Movie is the only one I see a remote chance of being any good, the other ones will be grim dark shit as long as they keep producing and designing them like they have thus far with MoS and BvS.

>The CW no longer is developing the Wonder Woman prequel Amazon -- at least not right now.

>Amazon was poised to explore the origin story of Wonder Woman's alter ego Diana of Themyscira. The network announced in September 2012 that it was teaming with Grey's Anatomy's Allan Heinberg to develop the story. The script was redeveloped in May, with Heroes writer Aron Eli Coleite taking a new stab at the story, and the network was poised to take the project to pilot for a potential off-cycle pickup. But that no longer will happen.

>While Amazon will not move forward, Pedowitz was open to taking a second stab at the iconic Wonder Woman character if the right material were to come along.

>>
>>85228079
They make changes, but always try to preserve something from the characters they are adapting.

Most changes created tie with the main plot of the movie, for instance while it sucked that Mandarin wasn't actually the Mandarin, at least that change had a point in the plot they are creating.

In Suicide Squad, you are given little to no reasons to why the Joker, Deadshot and Harley are acting in that particular director's vision. They are just changed while the plot happens perfectly with or without that changes.

Maybe in the case of the Joker you could make an argument that the comic book one would never really save her the way he did and that change served a point, but then again Harley gets "saved" only to fall on the hands of her Task Force X members again, so yeah.

I'm a fuck huge Pymfag, was I kinda mad we never got the Hank Pym movie the world deserved? Yes.
Was Michael Douglas an exceptional Hank Pym and his arc and the drive of the movie being a heist one with Scott Lang breaking on one of Pym's labs? It worked.

Can't say the same for the last two tries of Warner. I really wanted to like it but these movies piss me off more than anything. Nolan Batman had shit ton of changes, yes, but he fucking created an universe taking like an anon said, baby steps. His Joker was different but the story he told with that Joker was really cool and justifies that change.

If they change it for something that works and it's cool while having nods to the original, it works. If they change it and it has no impact and the movie is mediocre, who gives a shit?
Normies don't know any better and all it does is spit in the good will of fans.
>>
>>85223048
>Should we be concerned?
Yes. Fucking obviously we should be concerned. After two awful movies and one painfully mediocre one (that would obviously have been better without executive interference), we'd be fools not to look at the next few skeptically. If they somehow defy expectations and end up being good then that'll be wonderful, but that's pretty unlikely at this point.

Not really. We only received reports of screenings to the WB executives themselves, who gave it a standing ovation and convinced /co/ it would be "capekino". Same thing happened to MoS, one of the executives even said he firmly believed it'd be the studio's most profitable movie EVER, which would put it in the $1,8 billion house and make it, at the time, the third highest grossing movie in history.
>>
>>85231694
What was the point of this? The one on top looks much better.

>>85231730
It probably would have been somewhat different. Like obviously Morrison still wanted to do Dickbats and Damian and Johns wanted to do Blackest Night and they wouldn't have put their runs into the same position as the new 52 with the whole "let's pretend like everything is still canon until I'm done even though it can't be" thing.

Might have been more like COIE where characters mostly didn't get reset to day 1 but their histories were altered.

>Should we be concerned?

No, we shouldn't be concerned. We should be walking away and washing our hands of the DCEU at this point. 0 for 3 people. 0 for fucking 3, and it keeps getting worse and worse each time.

There is no salvaging at this point. Wonder Woman WILL suck. Guaranteed. Even if Patty Jenkins and all those involved actually do pull off a legit good film, Warner Bros are just gonna poke their big fucking dick shaped noses all into the post production of the film, and fuck it up in the editing. And Justice League? It's Zack Snyder. Light or Dark tone, the man doesn't understand these characters, nor how to flesh out a proper narrative.

The only movie that has a real shot of being good if Affleck's Batman movie. But we gotta get through 2 more shit movies at least before we get to that. And can you imagine if MoS, BvS, SS, WW and JL are shit, but the one movie that's good is the Batman movie? What kind of message would that send to WB? Just nothing but Batman movies for the next 10 years.

Walk away people. Walk away. This shit is over. Don't let hope drag you around to disappoint you even further. Just accept that DC will never get a great cinematic universe, and move on.

True, but it's still a big step up from MoS and BvS.
>>
>>85234010
BvS second weekend drop was 69.1% -- from 166mil to 51.3mil.

Suicide Squad has maybe a little bit more competition than BvS had, and in its second weekend, it'll have a lot more competition (Pete's Dragon and Sausage Party). I don't think Suicide Squad will drop as hard, though: based on the trailers, there's no real pretension that'll be some amazing flick, but just a fun August blockbuster. So, with that in mind, I think 55%-60% drop is possible, which will be like 51-53mil if the first weekend gross is ~128mil.

Honestly, I'm about ready to walk away from the MCU at this point. Not because they're terrible movies, but because they're leaning too hard on the concept of a shared universe to drive ticket sales, and their success is leading to other cinematic universes.

They're ending up putting resources into safely mediocre formulaic films, that could have been spent trying to make great ones.

Iron Man and Guardians of the Galaxy are the only two I consider artistic successes, and they're both just popcorn movies.

I now consider being part of a cinematic universe, any cinematic universe, to be a strong negative when I'm looking for a movie to watch. It's like in the 80s when unplanned, unnecessary sequels got out of hand, and people started talking about "sequelitis". Now we've got universitis.

Fuck DCEU, fuck MCU, fuck Star Wars.

There's a bias in that though. You're less likely to hear about a successful movie's test audience history

I pretty much loathe what Hollywood blockbusters have become. I don't want to go to the movies to see a fucking 2 hour commercial for the next installment.

>>
>>85235730
LOTR is a trilogy, so yes, each movie leads to another, but that trilogy is self-contained. Once Return of the King is over, that's it.

The only thing I'm looking forward to is Affleck's Batman movie and at this point I'm convinced he's going to leave the project after JL gets terrible reviews and he no longer wants to take part in this mess. After JL comes out I expect WB to just scrap everything and reboot Batman in like 5 years.

>>
>>85235851
>What makes a universe a universe?

When they branch off and give movies to other characters that still tie in to other movies. The Hobbit and Fantastic Beasts are just prequels, giving Han Solo a movie is cinematic universe shit.

Pixar has been kind of doing it for 20 years since all of their movies take place in the same world and you see cameos and nods to other movies from time to time, but that's as close as you'll get. If they give Woody or Buzz a solo movie then they've entered cinematic universe territory.

He's an introverted loner haunted by vivid nightmares of his mother's brutal death, having found her corpse. Their parents' dysfunctional and bitter relationship casts doubt on Henry's innocence and drives Barry to immerse himself in cases of brutal murders.

As the Flash, he can no longer get drunk, enjoy food, and experiences the world in slow motion. His brain is constantly processing data, robbing him of rest. Every waking moment is agony.

Ben Affleck was offered the keys to the universe before Snuder but he didn't want the responsibility. Then BVS flopped and they offered him a chance to be in charge of his only favorite hero Batman while they fund his future movies. Goddamn I love how Batfleck played these WB execs.

When people think of the Flash, they think of DCAU.
>>
>>85236135
I feel like this question should be asked even more than it is. Why Snyder, of all people? Why put HIM in charge? I get that Nolan wanted to wash his hands of superheroes after Man of Steel, but surely there was some executive producer who could oversee things that wasn't personally responsible for Watchmen and Sucker Punch. Someone, somewhere along the way surely must have come to their senses and thought, "Man, this guy's movies are really controversial. Maybe it's not a good idea to put him in charge of our crowd-pleasing mega-blockbusters?"

>>85236296
That's not why he was chosen, it was out of pure happenstance. WB needed to make a new Superman movie because of legal reasons and needed a director ASAP, so they chose Snyder. It wasn't until Man of Steel came out that they decided to use that as the springboard for a shared universe and asked Snyder to helm it. I doubt he even wanted to be involved in this, he doesn't really like superheroes.
>>
>>85236085
>How can you make that grimdark?
He's the man who can't slow down. The people around him appear to be statues. He can't have any kind of meaningful human contact, the lives other people live are entirely abstract to him, like the motion of continental plates.

He is old. So very, very old. And he has become quite entirely mad.

Not true. Do you guys even read interviews?

Warner Brothers was already doing a Superman movie. I think it was the McG one.

Either way, Christopher Nolan and David Goyer were facing a writers block with the script of THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, so Goyer to take his mind of it started to write a treatment for a Superman movie to pass his time. He showed one of the scripts to Nolan, who liked, and then Nolan broke a deal with Warner Brothers to turn their script into a movie.

When Warner Brothers had Nolan coming in wanting to do a Superman movie they scrapped their previous plans and went with his.

Nolan was still working on TDKR, so HE thought about hiring Snyder, who wasn't sure about the project. Snyder was only convinced after spending always talking with Nolan and Goyer about their vision.

The main problem was that Goyer wanted a romantic movie centered on Lois while Nolan wanted more of a sci-fi movie dealing with Krypton's culture. Snyder was there more for action.

Biggest problem with WB is they don't have someone like Marvel's Feige to keep the suits from fucking around with things.
>>
>>85237510
>to keep the suits from fucking around with things.

If anything, WB execs continually shoot themselves in the foot at the start of every one of their projects. How? By hiring the most bottom-tier writers/directors.

Seriously, it wasn't until Johns came in and started shifting the crews towards mediocrity (compared to the complete shit that they were before) that I had even an ounce of hope for the DCEU.

Fucking Jason Fuchs, writer of the critically dismissed Pan, was once the head writer for Wonder Woman. Many DC movies in the pipeline still have terrible writers attached (Shazam comes to mind).

Basically, it's possible that WB honestly wouldn't have mucked up any of the DCEU movies....if they hadn't chosen the worst people to work on them.

I can relate, as a Marvel fan. It is the same as Fant4stic and Ghost Rider. Would you rather have WB shitting these movies out every year or making some good ones instead? You can't have both, not with the creative team behind it now. To have good DC films, the bad ones have to fail.

I love DC but I have given up hope for their cinematic universe which is a shame the first time I heard there was going to be a new Superman movie I was ecstatic then I saw Man of Steel and while a serviceable disaster movie it was a terrible Superman movie

I was hoping for a bright vibrant world that would embrace the essence of the comics but what we got was a dark muted mess of gritty "realism" and messianic overtones

Any hope I had for what was my most anticipated project the Captain Marvel/Shazam movie died an agonizing death at the hands of inept studio execs and pretentious directors and the fact that I'm not exited about seeing a wide eyed Billy Batson meet the wise old Wizard for the first time saddens me more than the fact that the actor I wanted to play him can't

Man, shut the fuck up. Massive drama queen. By your logic we should have washed our hands of the MCU after Iron Man 2, Iron Man 3, Thor 1, Thor 2, Avengers 1 & 2, Hulk...

Not to mention the X-Men franchise, Fantastic 4 and Spider-Man from the other studios...

Haven't seen it, but Pan was on the Black List, Warner fucking with shit is probably the reason it bombed.
They keep picking directors with little experience making the kind of movies they've been hired to and then interfering when they realise they're not making the movie the studio wanted. If they keep it up, we're not going to get a good DC movie until Batfleck

MCU at least had a very strong start.

Star Wars has sucked since Phantom Menace. TFA was barely a fucking movie.

The only people who still like Star Wars are 60 year old nerds and bazingacore faggots.

I seriously don't understand why 2 movies in a row now WB execs have stuck their dumb fingers in and messed it all up. Not that Snyder isn't also to blame too but it applies for the recent films hard

When people talk about DC copying Marvel, it should be this that they meant.

>>85231569
It probably varies on how early they look for feedback and such.
Zootopia for example was basically a grimdark dystopia in early drafts, but they basically did a 180 when their test audiences told them they just could not bring themselves to like it because it was just too fucking dark.
Obviously they tested SS much later in the process so all they could do was try to throw in some reshoots and edit what they could, dunno that it made it better or worse.
>>
>>85242198
You're forgetting the factor that the general public response to the Bohemian Rhapsody trailer of SS was incredibly positive so they got those guys to edit the whole movie which I'm pretty sure is a major factor

We should honestly be concerned about other things instead of arguing over film taste.

Almost everyone here is so bitter about it, almost as bitter as /tv/.

I think maybe we should all go outside and meet someone.

In the case of Zootopia, the issue isn't the darkness. The issue is that the entire city was portrayed so negatively, that the audience doesn't believe the protagonists should risk their own necks to save it. In the original film you literally wanted to watch the city burned to the ground, and that destroyed the entire story.

It is probably the same as watching an X-men story and wanting Magneto to win. Just because the normal humans are so obnoxious that you lose all sympathy for them.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

>It's just like Marvel!
How about you shut the fuck up. Marvel never had a case of one bomb after the other after the other, with nothing good to show for it. They only had one case of consecutive mediocre movies in Thor and IM2, and they were followed and preceded by good movies. IM3 was liked by general audiences, nerd tears over Mandarin meant nothing. Avengers 2 was also generally liked despite 4chan's irrelevant consensus of it being bad, and Avengers 1 was loved by everyone, so I don't even know what the fuck you're on about there.
People did give up on X-men until they sort of got their shit together for a while, and nobody expected anything from Sony's Spiderman after the last one.
It's only DC fans that still insist on the movies being a success and look forward to it's seemingly ''bright'' future.

Well I've been wanting for a big budget Zolomon vs West fight for a bit, outside that I don't really care.

Not that anon but that's kind of a fib, when Sony was drumming up about their plans for Sinister Six and Venom and Black Cat people were getting surprisingly enthusiastic, it's only after ASM2 where most got that the whole thing was bait and switch and told Sony to fuck off.

It's funny, because I feel like this next Spider-Man is heading down a similar road as ASM1. A lot of promise, a lot of eager reception.
