>>92951548
He needs to lurk more to distinguish specific shitposters from genuine opinions.

I feel like he generally wasn't wrong though. The crossover wasn't as bad as characterfags were making it seem.

>>92951530
Third act/finale kinda sucked but everything else was great. What I didn't expect is the action setpieces are pure Zack Snyder, but the films grounds itself between them so much more effectively than any of the others - so you actually give a shit.

Personal highlight was probably the ice cream. Or maybe Steve trying to chat up Dr. Poison by attempting to convince her he too only cared about death, suffering and destruction.

Hello, Storyteller.

>Princess Di
Well, she did have at least one comics appearance, back when it was a harmless joke, and wouldn't have been hideously awkward.

I'm only sad in that 1) getting this close to terrible fans is fucking retarded 2) I can easily see editorial beef escalating from this.

No author has ever gained anything by making the direct sally against fan-space criticism, other than a reputation for being a humorless shitbag

>>92951763
It had so many characterful little touches. Like Diana feeling awkward on seeing a naked Steve because HE was awkward, or Ludendorff (feels weird to have a real historical person) crushing the gun between his hands. There were tons of these in the movie, to its great credit. Loved the Amazons on Themyscira.

At the same time it was primarily another superhero movie and I'm not surprised we're getting "Wonder Woman was not progressive/radical enough" hot takes.

>>92951548
I agree pretty much 100% what he said about Dick desu

>>92951835
Zirch made the argument the other day that you shouldn't take your shit directly to creators, and I generally agree; the flipside is that fans can be as nasty as they want in fan spaces, and if creators venture in, they need to have their big boy/girl pants on and realize the talk there isn't For Them.

>>92951835
Very true. It just doesn't work; power dynamic is too fucked.

>>92951804
I feel the "I only have time to read 10 comics" is more about guest appearances than the primary character he's writing on a title. Like I'm sure Priest as he's rewriting the Inhuman origins is not only reading the past 10 issues of some Inhumans comic. But if he's not interested/doesn't know a character and he features or has to feature them, that's the treatment they get.

Personally I think that's pretty fair and it's certainly deferential to whoever might currently be writing that character but at the same time easy to see why it'll piss off fans.

>>92951845
Some people will never be happy tbqh. I try to avoid that negative chatter on principle.

>>92951845
>Loved the Amazons on Themyscira.
How were they? Cause I oddly haven't heard much about them in the reviews and talk I've seen.

He was a historical figure, but I don't think anyone in Germany is going to be complaining about his portrayal in this, given his actions following the war.

>>92951749
It's true about the immediate aftermath of Diana in Britain. There wasn't really anything comparable.

Diana is the only kid and they all dote like hell on her, it's cute. They could've gone further with the appearance of them but they're distinct from each other and some are refreshingly butch.

>>92951956
Sure, I just would've expected them to invent somebody.

>>92951932
There was a lot of time spent on the island (didn't check my phone but it felt like 30 minutes), but not a lot of focus on the individual Amazons so I kind of get people not focusing on them.

>>92951937
He's obviously delved in Deathstroke.

Tim Truman's Hawkworld mini followed by Ostrander Hawkworld run, but feel free to ditch it before the end it gets weeeeird

There's a lot to enjoy in the Kubert-drawn older stuff. Johns walks you through the background but he's playing heavily with continuity, but it's still a fun read.

There was one fight scene (the one in all the trailers) that I like laughed at it was so Snydery. Like I thought dude guest directed for a bit.

also the shitty 3rd act final battle CGI set piece problem is like a genre wide one

It's just boring. There's a lack of a sense of impact in fight scenes you get a lot in cape movies too.

And yeah the whole trench scene up to the church is incredibly Snydery. You know, she stands triumphant on top of this ruined chapel, the slow-mo dark sequences with the hero lit-up. The stuff with the war of the gods is all in the exact same visual style too. But Snyder is an aesthetic some people are really into, and even if you're not those people this movie did a much better job at making it a stylistic part of a decent movie than an overwhelming presence to the detriment of other parts.

It's funny to me that one of the things people are mainly praising about the film is the portrayal of Diana herself. Hopefully this spells the death of the Kingdom Come type shit, cause now even the casual normies know she's meant to be nice, and that the Amazons aren't man-haters, just understandably distrustful of outsiders.

I can't tell you how good it is for my soul that this movie is being so warmly received. I probably ought to go see it at some point.

>>92954195
People are reading it as a direct sexual interest but the scene is way more about unifying ideologies than unifying bodies.

But sure if you don't like cape movies, WW is not the one that's gonna change your mind.

>>92954136
Thanks for posting as always, Storyteller.

One has to ponder if the movie's success will prompt a larger presence for Diana in the greater DCU. They were already pushing her due to the 75th, but now she'll likely get a second book, and guest star in other stuff. Hopefully.

Are you implying the way to a woman's heart isn't positioning yourself as someone compatible with her?

Hey OP. Time for me to try to catch up before you finish.

It was both, that's why she got mad and left when she noticed he was distracted and looking at Diana

>>92954379
Probably depends what you mean by compatible, anon! And what you want out of it.

I kinda have Thoughts on this because I don't really agree with the reviews/opinion pieces that say Wonder Woman was fanservice-free (but it definitely had less of that than like, the Fast and the Furious) but I also think it's kind of impossible to make a Hollywood movie that *is* that because some people are going to be turned on by literally anything. There are dudes out there who will find the most unerotic thing you can imagine, or the most unerotic depiction of a thing, just really damn arousing.

But without getting too into that my read on the scene was Dr. Maru was interested because Steve outlined a similar desire/motivation to the one she has, not because he was a hot guy. I don't think she wanted to fuck so much as she wanted to find someone like her to show her work to. In the movie Ludendorff is framed as similar in outlook to Maru, but not identical (Erich wants total war to provide meaning to human existence, Maru just wants destruction). And we certainly don't pick up anything sexual or romantic between Maru and Ludendorff, so I think Steve's insinuation there is off-base too.

If you do read that scene as a straightforward seduction it's much worse, because it puts Maru in the camp of "scarred woman who hates the world for her ugliness" villain (tho she's only Hollywood ugly of course).

>>92954569
Because Maru wanted him to be sexually interested in her? I don't think that's essential to her realising he's being false when he's distracted by a pretty woman. If he had been distracted by anything conventional I feel she would have had much the same reaction.

>>92954439
Gotta get dem (you)s.

>>92952903
>She highlights that the character and the author matching gives authenticity, it's an advantage, but it can also be a millstone.
The book literally comes of as a stereotypical portrayal of what America is supposed to be and if it wasn't written by Rivera, people would be tearing it apart.

>>92952054
>When Harry and William both ended up fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan

>>92954625
I think she was convinced by the shared interests but upset that he wasn't captivated with her personally. And he was just too lewd with the whole thing for it to not be sexual at all, like it was a sexy reading of a phonebook or something.

Debatable I guess though.

>>92954758
Sure, I'm not gonna pretend you can't interpret it in multiple ways.

Tbf Steve didn't get tied up enough in the movie. Even the one scene he did have of being bound by the lasso it was looped like twice lazily around him.

>>92954718
That would be interesting to see; earnestness/authenticity is always a difficult argument to make about an author's intentions. See the whole Nick Spencer clusterfuck.

>>92954814
I hear the extended cut just has 25 minutes of outright bondage pornography. Zack Snyder cameos.

>>92954815
Yeah, when someone like Yang does it, he's aware that he wants to tackle stereotypes in specific ways and not create one, I don't think Rivera is that well read enough.
I also always see a lot of stereotypical portrayal of certain archetypes in Bendis' work and I'm always astounded that nobody calls him out. Maybe his Alias has built him a substantial rep.

>>92954814
I didn't like how the lasso looked in general. Like you'd think WB would have better magic effects given they just did HP, idk.

>>92952468
>speaking of Discourse there has been some fine stuff about a podcast getting a graphic novel

I'm kinda disappointed the Thrilling Adventure Hour comics just kind of petered out.

>>92954897
Comics especially obfuscate things because of the scripting, the extent to which the writer and artist have different ideas (think like the embrace in Chuck Austen's BoP) and editorial influence.

It's easier in a movie I think because you're following the view from a tracking eye, for popular films there's usually an unambiguous intent in what you see and how you see it. Of course that could still not have been the shot as the director, or whoever else, envisaged it.

Ah, yes, the same pile of shit they managed to step in with Lup with the second Adventure Zone Zone episode.

I don't really feel bad about them getting chewed out for it, I guess? It's on them for letting their fandom dictate appearance and letting their fandom not know what a fucking elf looks like, regardless of how much his name is a Mexican food joke.
