Kirby must have done some horrible shit we don't know about to be treated this way after death

>>93625072

Because making the New Gods strange otherworldly monsters is better than more humans in space with funny costumes for aliens.

Why not?

>>93625072
Because every big movie has to set up a sequel. This is higher priority than being a watchable movie.

>>93625204
This wasn't in the movie, it was released as an online teaser after BvS dropped.

>Has a diatribe in the movie railing on Superman for being an Evil God.
"The problem of you on top of everything else. You above all. Ah. 'Cause that's what God is. Horus. Apollo. Jehovah. Kal-El. Clark Joseph Kent. See, what we call God depends upon our tribe, Clark Jo, because God is tribal. God take sides. No man in the sky intervened when I was a boy to deliver me from Daddy's fist and abominations. Mm-mm. I've figured it out way back, if God is all powerful, He cannot be all good. And if He's all good then He cannot be all powerful. And neither can you be. They need to see the fraud you are. With their eyes. The blood on your hands."

Yea as we all know the works Jack Kirby have been sitting around like the dog shit that they just waiting for the visionary director of Sucker Punch to fix them.

>>93625272

Nothing in that movie implied he was working for Darkseid, only that he was aware of Darkseid/Steppenwolf and the threat they posed.

>>93625282

Darkseid is fine. The other New Gods are literally humans in spandex. A few of them have funny helmets. The normie audience can only suspend their disbelief so far, anon. Trust me, I hear what you're saying. But from a marketing/appeal to the normies standpoint, it makes complete sense to make them more alien-looking.

And this is why the self-conscious Snyderverse failed.

Audiences specifically go to superhero epics for belief-suspending action and adventure.
Nolan didn't WANT to make superhero movies, but still paid due to the fantastical elements in them. Snyder completely failed to understand their basic escapist appeal.

Yea not surprised.

If normies can accept THREE Thor movies they can handle comic-accurate New Gods.

>>93626032
But the thor movies are the normie's least favorite MCU movies.

>>93626063
Different normies; they do excellent as chick flicks.

>>93626032
There's a world of difference between the asgardians and new gods, the biggest being the thor movies can always retreat back into Generic fantasy.

Tales of Asgard was just Kirby's dry run before he could do New Gods. C'mon.

>>93626152

Your opinions are Pleb and Shit.

>>93625812

I get what you're saying, but I don't necessarily agree. In fact, I think one of the biggest complaints normies had was how unrealistic the depiction of Two-Face was in the context of the rest of The Dark Knight with its attempt at hyper-realism. Also, it's not really the best to bring up Nolan in a positive light when speaking about adapting DC's comics. The Nolanverse was immensely disrespectful to the Batman mythology and has done far more damage to Batman's image for normies than good. Case in point is that they actually thought that Bale's Batman was good, despite the fact that he basically played some other character in a Batman costume.

But regardless, I think you're overstating how much people are able to suspend their disbelief. Especially normies. Why do you think Doctor Strange didn't play it fast and loose with magic? Why do you think Batroc didn't have his purple leotard? Or why Hawkeye didn't have his purple and blue outfit? Even Marvel recognizes when they need to pull back on something. Marvel's problem is they go full steam ahead with the talking Raccoon and yet can't reliably adapt magic or add some purple to Clint's costume until his fourth appearance.

DC is choosing to play it loose by making characters most people, including comic readers, have never heard of and making alien gods look more like alien gods and less like guys in costumes. It's not hard to understand why.

>>93626032

The Norse Gods the Asgardians are based on are usually depicted as human, though, so it's easier to swallow for most normie audiences. Give them more alien gods that look like humans, ones without any basis in real-life mythology to draw from, and you're probably going to get more raised eyebrows than Warner Bros. probably wants.

Setting aside that Ego and the Elders of the Universe look completely human.. they already accept that The Alien looks like a handsome Kansas farmboy and flies "because sunlight".
The Guardians are blue midgets.
Sinestro is a red man.
The only alien aliens in DC's movies are the crowd of CGI extras in Green Lantern. And that worked super-well.

Regular audiences weren't terribly familiar with the Norse Gods at all, which is why the first Thor movie literally cracks open a book to explain Loki to the audience.

They explain Loki in the movies because he's different from Loki from the myths.

Intradesting, seeing as how WW is behind Guardians 2's 30 day take.

Looks like you need to learn the definition of pace, bro.

Just seeing everything there makes me happy, the colors, the we're pooling pretty much straight from the book character designs.

>Gets proven completely wrong

You realize that in the timeframe of 30 days in theaters, Wonder Woman has made 9 million less dollars, which OBJECTIVELY puts it behind "the pace" of GotG2?
I feel this concept isn't hard to grasp.

>>93626823

It's fantastic right? When WB and Marvel put out decent movies everyone makes money, everyone gets to leave the theater without feeling ripped off! It's fucking insane.

>>93627017
Let's not forget that Fox is finally making great movies like Deadpool and Logan.
Though the X-Men movie they are working on feels like backsliding.

>>93627032
It's been a good year for comics movies.

>>93627050
If Whedon saves JL it may go down as the best single year for comic book movies.

>>93626997
Both definitions of pace can be used correctly you fucking tards. Wonder Woman is on pace to earn more than GOTG 2 at the next time frame, like 45 or 60 days out, but has earned less in 30.
