Looking at the first four films of the dceu and mcu respectively.

They both had a rough start with one great film to balance it out.

Anyone else optimistic the dceu will be able to turn around after wonder woman and became great like the mcu?
>>
>>93466459
I wasn't at first, but Wonder Woman was pretty damn good, and Justice League is looking pretty neat. I've also loved everything I've heard about Aquaman so far, so yeah, I'm optimistic.

If Snyder does not return, anything is possible.

>>93466459
I don't know what's more retarded, calling iron man a "rough start" with how popular it was, or calling man of steel "a rough start" with how bad it was.

OP this is too much of a stretch for even plastic man.

You can be optimistic about future DCU movies, but the first ones were shit and everyone liked the marvel movies.

This. Iron Man sold like hotcakes on DVD/Blu Ray, not to mention merchandise.

All those sad Man of Murder toys just sat there in Wal-Mart looking sullen and angry.

For me, as film quality goes
Iron Man >= WW >= MoS >BvS(UC) >(TFA here)>>>>>> Thor > BvS(theatrical cut) > Iron Man 2 > Hulk >SS(both cut)

>after wonder woman and became great like the mcu
MCU went to shit after Winter Soldier. I hope DCEU carries its tone but lets its heroes be more heroic and hopefull like WW.

You know you're talking to a dedicated Snyderfag when he separately lists the Theatrical and the Apology Cut, when the "fixed" version only makes the plot less disjointed, it keeps 100% of the stupid shit.

The whole Africa scene is a microcosm of how horrible they've treated the Superman franchise, making the chronology of it a little less WTF does not "fix" it.

He was almost certainly watching or specifically listening in for Lois because he knew she was heading into danger.
Martha he has absolutely no reason to listen to constantly as she has no public connection to him like Lois does. Plus she was large number of states away from Metropolis.
>>HULK SMASHes some guy through TWO walls
Nothing whatsoever wrong with this.
Heating up the barrel of the gun could have set the ammunition off or caused the guy to panic and fire and speeding over there could have harmed Lois as his speed contains alot of impacting force hence why he told Lois to stand back when taking flight in Mos.

When you can't tell the difference between an apocalypse and just a warzone, there might be a problem.

>Doing her fucking job is preposterous?

Interviewing an African warlord when all they do is murder people, cut off women's clitorises and rape people is really stupid. There is no reason such an interview couldn't have been done over the phone/Skype.

>No more like "fuck useless comedy relief characters that don't fit this particular adaption"

That explains why you're OK with Clark being a 30 year old loser with no friends, who is one death away from buddying up with the God of Evil.

>He was almost certainly watching or specifically listening in for Lois because he knew she was heading into danger.
Martha he has absolutely no reason to listen to constantly as she has no public connection to him like Lois does. Plus she was large number of states away from Metropolis.

And yet he couldn't hear Martha from across a bay. Why did Eisenberg bring Martha all the way from Kansas to (Not) New York? That must be at least a thousand miles.

>Nothing whatsoever wrong with this.
Heating up the barrel of the gun could have set the ammunition off or caused the guy to panic and fire and speeding over there could have harmed Lois as his speed contains alot of impacting force hence why he told Lois to stand back.

He smashes him anyway. He could have just grabbed his gun and destroyed it.
>>
>>93467264
>during the fight
Because it's NOT FUCKING POSSIBLE in a 1 on 1 fight scene. Especially with beings who move as fast a Zod.
Doing so would result in 3 options.
>1 - The villain floating/standing around doing jack shit letting Clark saving people.
>2 - The villain sneak attacking Clark (which Zod did the instant Clark's back was turned to look up at the explosion caused by the oil truck) or the people he is saving.
>3 - The villain blitz attacking other civilians.
Keeping the villain focused on him and only him was factually provably the morally right fucking thing to do.

>NOT FUCKING POSSIBLE

>That explains why you're OK with Clark being a 30 year old loser
He isn't even vaguely a looser he is a fucking hero who sacrificed having a normal life to keep hidden and save thousands of lives who would die if he revealed himself.

To be fair, it's Marvel's C and D-listers up against DC's S and A-listers coming right out of the gate. Batman (especially Batman), Superman, and Wonder Woman already had widespread notoriety before the DCEU, while most of MCU's current lineup were mostly relegated to shitty cartoons or missable movies. You could argue Marvel's branding power has propped its ongoing performance, but its still impressive how it turned relatively forgettable characters in the public's eye into household names that people actually like in such a short span of time.
>>
>>93467401
It's not mental gymnastics, It's provable fact.
If they left in the line about killing the human race 1 by 1 by hand then Zod floating about letting Clark rescue people would factually be absurd and out of character and break the momentum & suspense of the battle.
Zod sneak attacking him when his back was turned proves how fast and easily he can do so when Clark is distracted.

>He isn't even vaguely a looser he is a fucking hero who sacrificed having a normal life to keep hidden and save thousands of lives who would die if he revealed himself.

He has 2 people that he is close to and one is his mum. He had no friends whatsoever. He only maintains his job because his boss is a moron who hires randoms with no college education and doesn't fire them when they spit in his face over a major story.

He couldn't hear a large group of heavily armed men? Also he was able to hear Lois from continents away.

There's no "realistic" limitations on Superman's abilities in the Snyderverse.

He can fly through planet-altering super gravity waves while subjected to powers-robbing Krypton atmosphere. He can get whalloped by Kryptonian super-soldiers without getting his hair mussed or even a scratch.

The only things that can harm him in the slightest are Magic Green Space Rocks.

He was also able to hear Lois from his dream but couldn't hear his own mother or her guards?

>3 - YES if the other option might injure your loved one of fucking course you take the harsh measure against the fucker threatening to kill her.

So instead of just grabbing the gun, he smashes the guy past Lois. He would have done less damage by just grabbing the gun. If you think differently you are just retarded.

Yeah, that's what i was thinking

Speaking of Hulk, i always found it weird how relatively low-profile his movies have been. Everyone knows the big green guy, he had a tv show in the '70s and all, but nobody cared about the movies. Maybe the first was too boring for the masses, but then with the more action-packed reboot nothing changed. Funny how it works
>>
>>93466902

I'm OK on your MCU except all recent releases. And you skipped the two team-up films. CA-CW is definitely not an equivalent with TWS. I personally would even argue that TFA is better than CW for the two simple reasons that their is no failure of logic or convenience of plot device audience needs to swallow for plot to make sense, nor is there any 'convenient plot device is convenient' in TFA saving Cap being at the front at exactly the same point in time that the 107th was recently captured. Sometimes real life does have this, so one is easily to swallow/accept. CW is nothing but plot contrivances convenient for lazy scriptwriters and Zemo.

Distraught mom confronting Stark one on one and Scarlett Witch causing very public, high display, easily recorded for repeat viewing but hard to have a balanced conversation about super herorics/enhanced individuals with such an obvious visual piece broadcast multiple times would be the two convenient plot devices that should be acceptable to set up story and for audience to swallow. You are grading Antman and DS way too high.

Likewise, Superman The Movie is criminally underrate, TDK and TDKR are over rated.

Opinions. Everybody has 'em. Re-read your critical consensus as to #1, #2 and #4 above, and you won't find blanket disagreement. I did a quick check of more than half of the positive reviews on meteoritic (their links are better than RTs for older films) and NO ONE mentions these.

Not that anon but I don't really see how your examples are plot contrivances. I also think that CW makes more sense as a complete work when taken in the context of a franchise; it's a lot more tied to the previous movies when you look beyond it to the build up in the last installations of the serial.

So Zemo can accomplish everything he achieved because (a) he's magic (b) he can teleport (c) everybody knows an individual working by himself has all the resources in the world, etc. etc.

Tony Stark travels with an entourage. He travels with at least his hand repulsers as the film itself shows. In that kind of event and in that kind of situation, there is security, even if it's not specifically Stark's - no casual audience goer who is a middle-aged+ mom would be able to get that close IN THAT situation.

Likewise, SW using her powers to make such a clear error in a public way where it could be recorded for viewing over and over again (see how the cable channels report on cop chest video cams and when news channels crop those and repeat just portions, versus having a discussion on the specific incidents and what is the kind of thing that gets easily reported and repeated on line - look at the WW actress made $300K versus MoS actor making $14M tweets, blog and Business Insider/Buzz Feed type posts without the context of the actual facts.

SW did all sorts of things to the actual AVENGERS in AOU without a single flaw. Everything else she did in AOU was flawless. All of a sudden she can't do one thing, and it happens in a very public setting (e.g. loads of witnesses) and is very broad, visual and easy to misinterpret act of property and civilian damage, PLUS gets recorded visually for repeat broadcasting? THATS THE TOTAL DEFINITION OF PLOT CONTRIVANCE/CONVENIENCE.

And my point is that one or two of these are allowed in a film or tv show (or book, comic book, etc.). A whole slew of them (which is exactly what the entirely of Zemo's plot is) not only isn't acceptable - it's just sloppy, lazy writing.

As just one example: knowing who the psychologist is, getting to him, killing him without anyone finding out until way too late, getting into a highly guarded, highly secure place to get to the WS, not to even mention having the book with the words on him, all that was purely plot contrivance and lazy scripting.

Likewise, finding, being able to kill a Red Room/Hydra agent in an easily accessed, crappy who conveniently kept book with phrases.

Hope every movie the DCEU puts out is a solo female super hero movie then.

I mean I'm glad a DCEU movie has finally embraced the success of the MCU formula, but a single good film doesn't make up for three utter critical disasters that couldn't make the two most popular comic book characters ever into marketable icons.

The MCU made it's name by bringing recognition to the left over heroes Marvel still had the rights to essentially building a brand and name recognition for them from the ground up in the eyes of the comicbook illiterate masses where as the DCEU has been aping it with their biggest names and only managed to find commercial success by marketing an entire movie to Hot Topic Tweens and critical success by floating a relatively lukewarm movie with on a cloud of tokenism.

This doesn't mean the DCEU can't still be a pleasant turn around at some point, but at this point they're still just chasing the MCU formula and Avengers buckeroos with few if any positive lessons learned from their hit or miss success. Threads like this are little more than mental exercises in reassurance for DCEU fans who deep down want to believe everything will be alright, but experience tells them otherwise.

They talk endless shit about the MCU in both its current and past state claiming it peaked with Iron Man 1, but still try and use it as a metric to assure themselves the DCEU will turn out alright by comparison to Marvel's said "rocky start".

They argued endlessly that MoS and BvS were gold despite the popular consensus, admonishing the industry and casuals alike, yet latched onto the superficiality of the Skwad's profitability and Oscar as well as WW's feminist agenda boosted reviews with reckless abandon.

Just a bunch of petty little fanboys doing mental gymnastics and making whatever justification after the fact. For all their bitching and whining, threads like this prove that all DCEU fans really want is to have a movie franchise like the MCU.
>>
>>93471897
>Threads like this are little more than mental exercises

>>93471965
How was any of that mental gymnastics? It points out a very clear double standard of logic and hypocrisy. Not that I honestly expect you to address any point I bring up that doesn't suit your superficial narrative.

And yes, congrats to WW on it's DOMESTIC success, but it's funny now how financial success matters that DCEU movies have it, but before that MCU movies were admonished for how much money they made. I mean, we were supposed to hate Avengers for being a casual popcorn flick, but WW being a token feminist flagship boosted by female viewership is okay I guess.

Skwad made mad bank too, it was still a terrible movie that even DCEU fans won't defend outside of its commercial success.

I brought up several valid points oultining hypocritical behavior in DCEU fans, bashing one brand for the very same thing they laud another for. I'm sorry you took exception to my use of the term "Marvel formula", but as pointed out here >>93472210 The Marvel formula is anything that is predictably good, often mediocre like Wonder Woman. Quips are not inherent to the formula and honestly outside of Whedon's Avengers quips really aren't that prevalent in most of the MCU movies, not that I expect you to have watched anything post phase 1. But now that Whedon is at DC, I guess it's only a matter of time before Quips are a good thing now that they're in DC movies.

Even then you're still dodging the point of this thread using the MCU as a gold standard that the DCEU will still turn out alright despite the DCEU fanbase's insistence that the MCU has always been shit, well except for Iron Man 1 that is, but even this thread claims that was a rocky start, so I guess keeping your story strait or adhering to any consistency what-so-ever before the fact is just beneath such sophisticated connoisseurs of kino.

Are you mentally ill or just a very obvious shill? That fat comedic relief chinese market pandering piece of shit character in Doctor Strange is one of the worst thing I've seen in any capemovie and it's 100% quips, the airport brawl, Ant-Man as a whole. Fuck the entire movie is ruined by quips, they ruined the climatic fight of GotG with a quip too. Those movies are awful, anon. Just awful. They made Iron Man 1 without a script and they stray further from that blind luck with every movie.

Wonder Woman was a better movie than anything Marvel except Iron Man and your golden standard of "objective quality", the All Mighty Tomatoe agrees. Audiences say so too, and box office too. You see I don't believe in objective quality myself, I liked MoS, enjoyed BvS despite its flaws and I hated the living shit out of Suicide Squad. That's not objective, the objective fact is that the DCEU is already alright, they don't have flops unlike the MCU and every movie they make is more succesful than the last. And it's still embarrassing that Marvel can't win oscars, not even technical ones, after 15 movies. That's objective, anon. That and nothing else

RT is fucking garbage
IM2 is by far the worst MCU movie on par with fucking Suicide Squad with how fucking bad it is.

Sure, if Snyder keeps only on the periphery.

Anon, DC is switching over to the the Marvel formula. It's already set in stone. I'm surprised you didn't know yet.

No, no, no, no.
It's bad, but it's not THAT bad. I could buy MoS level, but SS?

Please tell me how it's unlike that model.

Again, cherry picking after the fact to make your situation look more impressive than what it actually is.

Also the Spider-Man and X-Men movies both shat the bed ruining alot of faith in Cape Movie longevity for many casual moviegoers. And the Nolan films really never struck a cord with the masses outside of the Dark Knight and their momentum would have only helped Man of Steel on blind faith alone and even then they dropped that angle with the second movie in (BvS) to turn the Nolan aesthetic into an Avengers cash grab.

The Point is, Cape films were never a sure fire thing for consistent quality before the MCU and seeing how that's translated to movies like Ant-Man, Dr. Strange or Guardians of the Galaxy performing as strongly as they did for what they were vs how they might have fared before the MCU speaks volumes to this fact.

Learn to read a little more, I said "DC is switching" not "DC switched", I know it's a subtle, but there is a huge difference.

JL is going to be the first movie to start using the Marvel formula. Before you get all high and mighty, by saying that it's too late for Whedon to make any real changes, just know that the announcement of the "revolutionary injection of humor" came out last year and the quip fest was planned long before Whedon was brought on.

Because the main character isn't a sarcastic character with a heart of gold (Iron Man, Doctor Strange, Starlord, Ant-Man, Thor) who gets it's powers (if origin story) in the first act which ends with him seeing his mentor die, or gets involved in a nonsensical quest to find some macguffin (if sequel), etc. You know, the formula. I just don't see it in Wonder Woman

>comparing one of the big 3 DC heroes to "literal who?" the team

Oh boy, that's sad. By all rights WW should have has twice the domestic total.
>>
>>93466459
Oh wow, Hulk is just scraping by
>>
>>93473380
Oh yeah, remember the mcguffin in TWS and GotG2. Remember the mentor dying in Thor, GotG, Ant-man, TIH... remember how Cap and Hulk are sarcastic guys, T-Challa will probably be one too!

>>93473322
So the famous and critically acclaimed WW can't even match GotG, a literally "who" franchise? I'm not sure how that's helping your case here.

And yes, it is cherry picking because you're using only one piece of data to create a more favorable view by excluding other factors.

> remember that MoS, BvS and SS all had humour bits too

So WW is the only DCEU movie without quips, because that's what you said above when denying it's adherence to a MCU formula, but here you're claiming all the DCEU movies had quips. So....

>>93473380
That's not the MCU formula that's just the "every MCU movie is Iron Man" meme. And where is Captain America in that post because that's the MCU movie WW is the most like. See, the "Marvel formula" so many people refer to yet so vaguely define is the sum of the pacing, structure and story setup which results in an often mediocre-good film that takes little chances, but capitalizes on surefire unambitious tropes often with an expendable villainous element, which Wonder Woman exemplifies to a T.

But it's absolutely destroying it. 50 millions more by the third weekend despite the higher budget and marketing. And this is one of the biggest successes in the MCU.

Don't worry about them literal whos, the highest grossing movie ever had made up characters and the MCU sequels do just as bad

>gets involved in a nonsensical quest to find some macguffin
Yeah, it's not like JL's just going to be a big quest to gather 3 mother boxes to stop the invasion.

Oh, wait.

By "Marvel formular" you means not dark right? Kinda like what Pirates of Caribbean and Transformers were doing even before MCU first movie?
>>
>>93474082
I'm gonna be real, I forgot.
Should I have gone for "The Sinister Six movie came out?" Would that have worked better?
>>
>>93474211
JL's basically if DC took all the quips from the avengers, removed most of the build up of multiple movies, added a ton of characters to introduce, and then thrown in a forced macguffin.
>>
>>93466459
>They both had a rough start with one great film to balance it out
Please don't tell me you're trying to say WW is the one good movie.

The Superhero fad will die out before we even get to see things like Brainiac and Metallo, so no

Well it's certainly not one of the other three.

That's because Armand Hammer will have a surprise appearance as Hal Jordan

I remember people passing on Norton Hulk because of Bana Hulk.
>>
>>93474726
I liked both cause I'm a fucking weirdo.
Bana was like a stupid B movie with the hilarious editing. The action scenes were fun enough, especially Hulk wrecking military in the desert.
Norton was good enough. Had the current Marvel movie feel, but one of the weaker ones.
